Task..... lol lol extremely witty video ( even if it's below the belt Lol .........The English version in my day was called Izal .

Hi guys .....I've been in Gloucester for a while and enjoying the change.....Task , dam cheek..... I was a free thinker probably before you had heard of the phrase.... In fact I never really got to make my point, which is every time a new technological product arrives, at some point It has an adverse reaction..... Ok the first one I recall was atumated petrol pumps. The adverse affect of this was job loss..... moving on I recall buying my fruit and veg and being put into paper bags ...Ok the spuds were covered in dirt we took them home and washed them peeled them put the peelings on the compost heap then,cooked the spuds and ate them ...I had no problems with this .Then some bright spark decided to wrap every thing in plastic.......And now plastic is like the F-word !If I hear David Attenborough banging on about plastic once more.....lol lol ...... I could bang on and on but I have a cold beer waiting...... I Just wonder what the adverse effect of EV will be long term and no one really knows. The modern disrupters are causing huge affects ..like Uber... air b n b transfer wise revolut and dozens of others....Everything that has a benefit has a cost to it somewhere down the line ...

Hi Gs Ether too late for me to get in on a spread bet but yes shooting up...... Levis i am still in Taylor Wimpy but will be reviewing my P/F at the weekend.......... You are welcome re PSN............ GS i also sent it to you.on email

Gl guys

Hi GS Crypto there was a bitcoin machine in our local shopping centre running real time buy and sell but some of our EU visitors thought it was the car park machine and now its got a big bag over it and its been switched off!

I closed my DOM short for a minuscule gain . Nice work on Shell Levis thast a decent profit

Morning GS ....... yep poor old Sains dreadful share price, of course only in the UK would the authorities block a merger that would have been good for both companies Azda and Sains but they are quite happy to let the German discounters thrive........... Very well done on Plus GS to make a profit on a spread betting company deserves some credit for sure.

. I ve heard that crypto are looking up ill take a look .............. I ve gone short on Dominoes this morning and looking for 5 or 6 points

Closed first short on Bo ho for 3.5 points after spread costs... Might re enter on mini pull back ?....... Snatched a scalp on AUD / NZD.... and holding a short on USD CHF at 75 points up GL All

Hope everybody is enjoying the weather.. Levis IC has a sell note on PSN I will email the article to you soon .

GS and Task I have just gone short on Boho , possibly fractionally premature but today's candle close will give me more clarity.. I will report further thoughts

Task Ive reread your post and and agree some fair comment..... Task . re Bo ho i have a 13 point stop loss on it

GL all

Task I wasn't expecting you to take it to heart and its not personally about you. Ill be back later with an update.

Ok as the discussion is going. My view is if you want electric cars, nuclear power stations are the only real big time energy source...... Also I guess the electric fans have no qualms about ripping the earth to pieces for rare earth's to power the batteries...... I don't trust them yet and niether do the fire bregade...They have issues over electrocution..... Also the distance I do I need a tank full of fuel and don't want to stop and charge up .....Viva the internal combustion engine ....... long live the petrol head ?

Hello GS thanks for your response and research on "GROW" Draper Espirit............. I see they are also listed on the Irish stock exchange. Ive signed up to their news bulletins so finger crossed.

Task........ still trading F/ X but markets very thin and low volumes so difficult trading.

Levis nice work on Lloyd's only just noticed that drop..... I see Centamin is on the move ( one of my worst ever buys).

Have a good week end everybody

Hi GS ive responded to your email and a note about the two new shares ive bought called DUKE and GROW.

Good luck all .

Hi Gs, thanks for email tip will respond soon....... Hello Levis, yes unusually hot for the UK. I am in a pair of shorts yippie......... Hope you are doing well in your part of the world .

Hello fellow trader and investors and Happy Easter to one and all

I see plus 500 fell off a cliff today yikes what a drop

Thanks GS for that info

Nice work GS on Tesco ..well timed ........ AV what caused the big drop today ? Also big unknown drop on SXX?

Hi Levis thanks for kind words. Ill post up my trading rules mainly apply to my F/X but might be useful for fellow cavers for a perusal............. Just to say they are for me but and DYOR etc

Optimus’s Trading Rules……………….. Up- dated 25/2/2019

1 Never risk more than 2% of your account at one time.
2 Check F/X calendar before entering a trade.
3 Study the trade intimately before entering. (There is no hurry in the forex)
4 Once entered, check for fat fingered trades and close out if necessary
4 Only enter on techs and never on emotion.
5 Always trade with a stop!
6 Once entered never move your stops.
7 Let your profits run and add to the trade if the trend is in your favour don’t necessarily cap your up-side with TP
8 Don’t get stuck on your beliefs re a trade, the market is always right and you are often wrong
9 If it’s going against you get out!
10 if you have 3 losing trades in a row stop trading immediately and check you system take a break and come back with fresh eyes
10 Don’t break your rules! Don’t break your rules! Don’t break your rules!

Optimus’s Contemplations
Be grateful for what went right!! . If it’s gone against you, it’s not because you are a bad trader it’s because the market is dammed fickle! Also remember we are gambling, so sometimes a bit of luck would be nice! Stick to your trading plan and your rules by doing this hopefully this evens up the odds a bit.

Hi GS i took a look at zoo the rise a few days a go was something to do with an auction but the sp soon fell back. its a watch for now until l they get some better results..

Task hard luck........ trading is so difficult at the best of times and its the worst of times right now..... The elusive consistently profitable trader......... Our dream .. everybody dream............ Although F/X is becoming slightly easier than trading shares!.............. Shares just dont make any sense any more ... the tiniest bit of bad news and they drop 50% or so for no reall reason .... The huge Algo machines and bots just make havoc on all securities reacting to to minuscule bits of news ect.........

When you are trading......... my only suggestion is if its going against you reduce your size say by half.... If it hits your stop, walk away and look for better opportunities elsewhere............ Money management is the key and discipline and dont over trade ...........wait for the really good set ups to come a long!...... If they are going your way take half off at your first TP move you stop up. let the second half run and if you hit a trend scale in with a bigger size ..... GL

Saga........ totaly agree with GS i was always suspicious from day one if you recall but shameful as it duped a lot of older and novice investors to part with their hard saved cash into what they believed was a a good and solid company............ Totally shameful

Hi GS o had forgot all about Zoo........... i put in one of my many watch-lists and forgot it . yes i will check it out

Some ups and downs for me as is usual in our game. Task took a big hit on GBP/USD today and now feel as sick as a sea side Donkey. Had some ok F/X but not pulling up any trees...I have a wad of cash waiting to buy some shares was hoping to get some bagains on what's was to be Brexit day but now that's been changed.... Can't see anything worth buying......Is that me top of the competition......well well well

Hi guys preoccupied on contracts so not trading at the moment but managed get get a quick sell on my ISAT shares today up 72 pence per share on takeover talks.

Hopefully ill get a couple of post in soon .......... Good luck all traders investors shirkers lurkers and gamblers
