Higher Highs Higher Low's?? Though as Usual I anticipate a Drop to S1. Or was it a Spike to R1....Not sure now lol.

Any insight into the direction of the FTSE? Thanks

Oh, Thanks Foxy. It's happened already? It's clear to me now more than ever that I need to focus less on placing trades and more on the actual market and how it's all operating. Where do I start? Is there something I can read? I Readers Digest of the Fundamentals? Thanks

When is this to be expected Casey? Thanks

To add, it's very obvious on the 1M chart. Thanks

Also the slow Lag and responsiveness of the Platform. I've tried Tradingview Platform for instance and it has no issues at all even in 4k resolution. Is it just a bit slow? Maybe I'm expecting too much from it.

Thanks Casey. I know my way around a computer, so let's assume all of this is OK. What I want to know it (as you've addressed in the past) Is if i am the only one, and if it's specific to the Retail New Platform. If I am the only one, then I'll work out the potential issue at my end. What I'm hoping to hear is a specific issue regarding my configuration, or using Chrome or whatever? I have no other network issues to speak of. I have no Anti V installed. Are there any known issues with the New Retail Platform? Thanks

@JamesIG Hi, sorry to bother you, but this is a real problem now. Whom should I contact to possibly have this issue addressed? I figured this was a Technical post that could be answered here.

Hi, i've noticed this a lot, so must concede it may be my machine. There is often a discrepancy between my Profit/Loss showing on the Retail Platform; New. See image. Also often the Volume information is missing from the bottom until i refresh. I've restarted my machine several times over the last week, though this is not an isolated incident as I have brought it up in the past on here. System Spec. Win7 64 Core i7 6700 16gb DDR4 Ram Asus GForce GTi 750 gc. I am using a 43" 4k Tv as a monitor but resolution is set to 1920x1080. I'd appreciate any advice or to hear if anyone else is suffering. I've just got out of a trade I thought was £2.40 down, only to refresh the page to see i'm £8 down.

Well........I have been an entrepreneur for 20 years. Never to be rich but to buy freedom. Time has always been more important to me. In hindsight it was never a choice. I just don't want to Work.........Day Job. Etc. Same money each week. However. Every single thing you do requires want, passion, discipline and a plan. At times you've got to risk big to make little, risk little to lose little and risk nothing to gain nothing. If you do any of these things an gain lots then stick with it. My biggest loss on a project was 80k. Left me with nothing. After all my small previous successes this cost it all. Trading Dax for first time this week taught me something new. While trading Ftse at 5 per point I'd scalp 3 or 4 points at key SR. But I'd only risk 2 points. So 10. Trading Dax at 50p I need to leave 25 for long game as It moves so much. There is a balance in PPP Stake, Spread and Reward that I've still not figured out. I received a tip on Snapchat before the spike the other day but I was watching Dax. Check it out. Tomorrow I'll work out what it would have cost to SB and what I might have earned buying and selling. This is not the place for this chat. Maybe keep it on your thread.

Woohoo. Profit while it's there. Now double up on stake and use profit as a buffer...lose it all....that's what I do......lol

At current support but suggests further drop. But I reckon it'll bounce and go back up. I'd take profit now and go back in if it favours . That is not advice lol. Just my initial thought. In garden drinking a beer. I'm not trading now till next week.

So you don't have Gstop on it? I can't remember that last trade I considered going next day on but I do remember the GS being 374 if triggered..................it was 2 per point.....

@dmedin Sorry Inter day, not Intra. I can't sleep knowing i have a trade running. To me it's like letting the engine run on your motor and going to bed hoping it still has fuel in it. lol. Probably not the best example. But i will try it on certain trades. The shares I've found etc often have had massive Guaranteed Stop that would sink me if activated. So so far I've not found something I'd hold that has limited costs.

I had no Idea you had such a thing lol. OK. I'll put some time toward it. But regardless, I did say it was going to rally to R1 :D. With no other info than the chart. I also said to my partner last night that i felt the market was stiffled and a drop was imminent. I just didn't trade it coz I was asleep.

What's not working for me is a resolute idea that I stick to. At the moment I've mixed up what i want to achieve and how to achieve it. Being pulled between going long for small, where there's no way my psychology could handle a 40 point up 30 point down uptrend. I'm not comfortable giving back that kind of profit. I'm still in the stages of a development plan. It's fine tuning. I've considered Intraday this week. Case in point. If I'd been trading with my 2k account and £5 per point that £50 win £16 losses would have been £250 up £80 down. They're the kind of results I often made on the Demo. (if you don't know what I'm talking about i refer to my post in Is Spread betting for Fools and the subsequent results following the Dax spike 2 days ago) I made 50 riding the up and down. If I'd only gone long I'd have made about £25. Sure the day would have been easier, but i was practicing my in and out points too. The fact i gave it all back and more yesterday is still part of my learning when the reversal is on a time frame I'm not used to. It dropped today clearly. I was just too early anticipating it. I don't want to place a trade and walk away. I want to place several trades in 2 hours and walk away knowing the profit is there. I won't be able to rest knowing I have a long trade open. Look what happened today. I WAS going to go Short with a £25 Stop; the biggest stop I would have ever placed at 50ppp. Ironically it would have taken me Up before it went down, but I'd have been monitoring it all day. It would have taken me right to the Stop Limit. It's not what I want to be doing. Therefore If I can be pretty certain of my in points, then why is it not possible to have a higher ppp and shorter limit? I've said in the past. It depends on what your goals are. I have the time to trade all day if I want too, but it's too long. the last 2 days I've over traded. I've gone from a New Starting Balance of 986 up to 1028 back down to 910. I will get this back up to 1k next week. I'm just not sure about what my preferred Instrument is going to be. I'd be happy to make £50 per day in 2 hours. I can do it if i can find the right instrument. The Indicies are highly volatile that's now clear to me. I'm still on the fence whether i should be Buying Selling £2 shares or SB. Clock is still ticking.

I've no idea what all that means. I have more research to do

What the hell has happened today? Did I miss something in the news? Brexit? Boris? The whole world has slumped!

Well. I certainly didn't see that coming. i actually thought it was going to drop so placed a trade but doubted it so got out right away. I'd have lost. Been out today, then dropped. Wow.

Seems to have sorted itself out.

New Retail

I have to manually refresh my page. Any issue you notice? Would you advise against going in before 9am?

Well it clearly did that no what? Up? 50/50?

Accidentally stopped myself out while adjusting it to ensure no loss. lol. -25p

I'm a total ****. This will be my greatest awakening to stop going in before it's Valid.
