Ha S your not the only one that bought encore think mines buried in the field lol

Morning guys and a Happy New Year to all.

often the way S must be a moral to that story!

Nice xmas thanks quiet one with the family but still too much to drink, eat etc. Think I should have stayed in bed this morning as i do find it very tough to trade in thin markets using my methods, hopefully london open may bring something

Morning S Hope you had a great xmas, havent bothered to trade yet as nothing seemed to be moving but that changed somewhat yesterday afternoon so thought I would check in this morning and see if we can get more then 20 pip movements again today.

Hi T nice to hear from you again, havent been to China for a while fascinating place but certainly has its own probelms currently. Very best wishes for xmas and the new year and of course to you S. No intention of chasing trades have had 4 very good weeks so must expect the occasional setback.

unfortunately yesterday was pretty crap as the rest of this week has been for me, currently down about 9% on the week but hoping to pull it back before we finish

morning S looks like a more exciting day unfortunately missed the open as had to pop out but hoping for some entries long

Managed to pull some back but of course didnt hold the short long enough, could be bottoming out here maybe pullback to 13090 area for another short?

looking to short euro around wp at 13120 area

quite right S just panicked should have stopped to think but difficult when the £s are moving down at an alarming rate

nice short S i made a monumental cock up just took a short seconds before eu spiked forgot to put in a stop panicked when i relaised and closed it for -10% and then of course it drops all the way back, been a really crap week so far for me need to get my act together

euro definitely the weakest currency at the moment but still looks like it wants to bust through R1, but good luck with the short im flat currently

Morning S lets hope for some decent movment today if nothing else dont really care which way

sounds delicious S will try that one sometime, think you are probably right about keeping fx account seperate but still tempting lol im hoping to get a bit of a rally and clear out a lot of my shares after xmas and then go back to trading properly again the tesco idea is interesting (duaghters boyfriend quite high up in tesco so will keep my ears open) will watch how it goes maybe find a few more of a similar nature

Like the sound of the belly pork signature dish S, have tried to give myself a target of 2% a day on my account for fx as i am trying to build up my meagre account to make it worthwhile and hopefully make enough to live on, biggest problem ive had in the past is that i do well and then do something really stupid and blow a huge chunck of the account so hence the need to be as focused as possible on targets and risk management. Used to trade shares outside of sipp and still have a few but unfortunately due to my situation over the last couple of years have cashed in most to live, trying hard to build up the pension pot to a level where i could afford to live off it but got a lot to go before i get there, when i first started tading my sipp was very active in and out all the time and made very good gains a lot of which i have given back over the last year where i have mainly held and not traded so much (perhaps a lesson to be learnt there), have been thinking of moving my sipp to another provider that would allow me to trade fx as well but cant make up my mind how sensible that is as im liable to blow the lot lol.

Nothing out of the ordinary planned for xmas just a quiet one at home, my youngest has just got home from loughborough uni and my eldest is coming with her boyfriend on boxing day so should be a nice relaxing time. Managed to miss all the trades today trying to go short when everything else was going long but keep things pretty tight these days, had a cracking week last week + 28% but currently down 1.8% this week so far been finding it tough to even scalp when it keeps changing direction. You going anywhere exciting for xmas?

Hi S hope your doing better than I am today, been playing catchup all day without much success lol. Got to be about time for this to fall off a bit now

its all looking very bullish at the moment not too sure how long its going to last though

another exciting day then S just managed to lose 14 pips so not a great start
