Good Morning all,

Long DAX & UKX this morning

Morning all.

morning all,lw glad your enjoying yourself :-)

Thanks MB

- I think its because I'm risking such a small amount and I'm not under any pressure to make enough to live on!

So hows your trading coming along?

Are you short or long this morning?

Morning All.

lw,long UKX SMI S&P DOW short CABLE,the main thing is you are enjoying your self and it is fun !!! All my trading these days are done by cmc s/b i dont touch cmc cfd any more and BetonMarkets mainly the latter one these days it suits my style of trading.

Still use the knowledge that the late great Croc taught us 2 years back !!!

Mega...

Yes, Crocs advice was very sound and extremely helpful.

who uses dma?

sorry, not me bigbobjoylove ;-)

Wish I still traded PSN & BDEV, but I need to keep it simple.....

bigbob,have taken a look at dma via gni and etrade the best out of the 2 looks like etrade,the only advantage that i can see for my use would be when stocks go xdivi on a tuesday night and you can exit the trade before the open of the the market on the wednesday morning in the auction 7-50---8-00 so to gain the divi if that makes sense :-) and there are other advantages that people use also it all depends on your trading style.

If you require some other info,i aint the best person to ask but understand the basics from when i looked at it about 2 years back,maybe able to help.

Mega...

Not having as fun today!

Index's moving sideways too much, just when it starts to get interesting, it changes direction - not enough either way
