Hm........
2.3% drop on the month - not really a crash now is it?
Maybe we will let you have a ripple or a bump but not a crash

Well done.Originally posted by SantaClaus View PostDid someone say the stock market was going to rally and that technical analysis was rubbish? You guys should have just written me a cheque instead

Was down to my last £30 playing fund yesterday, got to £220 today so not too bad.

You seem to want to shoot the messenger who's telling you that the whole foundation of what you believe in is tulip. I don't blame you really.
I'm glad you made some money this week - shame about the other 4 years.Hard Brexit now!

Volume is interesting to watch. Yesterday was very light despite the rally. However, today it is a lot stronger. The volume is highest on the legs down too.How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

Doomed List :
Dollar
America
Civil Liberties
Did SC not say that finishing down on a Friday was a bad sign? How about finishing 250 points down? That must be a very bad sign, Shirley?
The fundamentals don't lie. How can GDP be up 3.5% and the yanks be out of recession with growing unemployment?
While all this fiat money is reinflating the dollar, other Countries are dumping it. Hedge funds are getting out of the dollar fast.
It's like a roller coaster, climbing up up up up up and then
down down down...
This mere 250 point blip is nothing. There is a long long long way to crash. And the landscape will seem very different.
I of course have no idea what I am talking about.

My final word of friendly advice. If you are treating this as gambling, then fine, but if you see it as a business, then you are seriously under-funded.Originally posted by Money Money Money View PostWell done.

- Trade only 1-2% of your account at any one time.
- Test your strategy over a series of 20 or 30 trades.
- Dont be affected by single wins or losses, even 5 wins/losses in a row. They are irrelevant.
- And as I've said before, but the idea has been dismissed by some sad geeks who are better of sticking to IT - read "Trading In the Zone" by Mark Douglas...at least three times.

That's odd, I thought our Walter Mitty friend had closed this thread and ordered the discussion closed.
I guess I must have imagined it.Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? - EpicurusComment
