Seems a strong run though. Was expecting a bit of a blip today. Be surprised if next two days are strong, very surprised.
Managed to call the bottom on Hlencore though. Just not the top.What happens in General, stays in General.You know what they say about assumptions!Comment

Overall including my 400 quid day trading losses in September and Glencore, which is still a grand down I'm 500 quid up
Mission accomplished...waded in after closing day trading positions when I realised the market was crashing and it could turn into armageddon. I'm particularly pleased about erradicating the day trading losses
But great learning exercise getting caught out with an unexpected rout. I will be better prepared next time or maybe go for more medium term bets holding shares. Certainly rethinking the short term trading.Last edited by BlasterBates; 7 October 2015, 16:30.I'm alright JackComment
