Back from our regular thursday shopping trip.
I bought CCL earlier at 1220, really should have taken a profit at 1277+ but didn't.
T line on 10min chart saying buy (but not stochasic) since 1224.

Finally, MRW have risen sufficient to show me a small profit (only after including the dividend). This has taken more than 2 weeks. Yes a small profit is still a profit but is reduced somewhat by earning it after 2 weeks. Signof the times I guess, when we take for granted being able to make a profit on a share within a day or even more than once in a day on the same share.

R: You did very well buting MCRO at 416, I am envious.
T: I am feeling confident in CCL going well today, although it has just stepped back a bit. Second thoughts, judging by my poor performance on CINE, CCL will do the opposite of what I think.

aaaaarrrHH. Sold CINE too early. V taught me this trick, sell then watch them shoot up. LOL

Sold CINE at 91 using my limit trick in the spread. made 21%, pass the rioja

Doh.......Missed the 20% rise on CINE....do I sell for a mere +15%?

Fish and chips really good, seems so long since we have had any (in hands by coast).
Bought CCL at 1221. Sold IAG at 257

V: we did eat fish and chips overlooking sea (Bude) before coming home. No souvenir I am afraid. I took a bad hit on OCDO, I was stupid sold below what I paid for them then didn't buy back cheaper...why?....because I was out having a good time. Gains on MCRO, CINE and CCL made up for it though. My staple profit maker (PLUS) seems to be having a sleep these last couple of days.
I find myself in a bad position for today though, will have to buy back into CCL at some point.
Good luck all.

V: On some time periods the candlesticks can look a bit weird but
(a) try other time periods or
(b) use the zoom in/out feature, that usually does it. Not sure if HL charts have that feature.

R: It happens to me quite regularly, especially when a share gets very volatile, that the market maker wont give a quote. After I have tried a few times, I will use the Limit buy/sell, especially as I then get the "Fill or Kill" feature of setting the limit within the spread. I would estimate 60% of my trades are done using limits (even though I am in front of the screen and usually the limit trips immediately). You have to get proficient at setting the parameters quickly.

L: Thanks for your support on the charts. I will get around to trying spread betting one day.

T: Sounds like you had a rare bad day. Mine (on the markets) wasn't very good. I made some early profits but being away for most of the day full of action didn't help. Also I was too keen to buy into OCDO, I bought at 2069 on the way down (YES, EVEN THOUGH T LINE SAID NO) and sold it at 2008, quite a loss. I would have sold MCRO at 460+ if I had been in attendance and have bought back around 438. Double Doh!

Sorry m, OCDO tline on 2 min chart (the most likely to be twitchy and indicate a buy) is still indicating a continuation of the down trend. Have to leave the computer now for a while. Good luck brigade.

Hate to say this but T line still saying stay out. Maybe this is the OCDO big fall you predicted T

Have sold OCDO, trying to cut my loss by realusing it. Ha! They will soar now V.

OCDO tline still strongly saying wait

Thanks L. I agree it was getting ahead of itself (CCL), was happy to sell at 1215 which is starting to be a record high since the corvid fall. I can see your 1242 target being hit maybe late afternoon. I will seek to rebuy into CCLif there is a slight retracement.
I will have a second look at CFDs and maybe run a trial (no money) account to see how I get on...but where do I find the time? Where do you find the time? Do you sleep up there in the tower of T line?

Sold CINE.
T line saying OCDO got further to fall using 10min chart.

I bought ocdo much too soon, hang on T

OCDO tempted me so I haave bought at 2067

Just sold CCL. Having to modify strategy as we are going out shortly but may set a couple of LIMIT trades.
May take profit on CINE and let IAG fly (sorry about pun).
OCDO getting tempting.

Yes T, the technical term for that is: Doh!
I had a quote to sell at 1216 and didn't so I am feeling a bit stupid.
When I sold MCRO earlier at 460, I used my trick of limit sell within the spread, it hit jyst nearly right as the order was filled gradually over the next 2 mins or so but onlt filled about 80% in total. I'm happy with that.

Keep an eye on OCDO
