[Day trading frustration]

If it's in profit and you feel the urge to take the profit, take it, it wont harm anyone.

Hi, all the companies listed in the major indices are international and so are linked to the fortunes of the western countries as a whole and especially to the spending power of the mighty US consumer. The S&P tends to lead though an increasing case could be made for Nasdaq and the others tend to follow.

In the Indices thread I've been using Dow as a leading indicator for the Dax for a number of years. The one out of sync has been FTSE ever since the start of the Brexit uncertainty.

Thanks for telling me that. Appreciated.

Forget it, friend.  You've started into a downward spiral and it just gets worse and worse from here.

I recommend that you quit while your losses are 'only' £1500.  By Christmas it will be much more.

Wow. The power of Positivity LOL

Indices have just taken an absolutely incredible dump.

WTH happened?

[Question: Why the same patterns on different trades?]

Hi there, I was comparing which markets to trade on the 1 hour time frame, and I've noticed that the FTSE100, Germany 30 and France 40, have all been following the same pattern for the last couple of days!

Why is this? Surely they should be different because they are different markets?

I empathise, trading is emotional.

[Commisions]

It seems that when we are doing well with currencies the splits become huge and it makes it harder to make money , why would you do that ? 

I found a really good trade / market, waited until 2.30 when it opened to place the trade. Immediately placed the trade, then straight after I noticed the spread split had been increased to 10... I was p*ssed, I was in £112 deficit immediately. I'm going to wait it out, it must become a good trade, maybe that's why the commissions become high?... I hope so anyway.

For the last couple of days I have noticed that the FTSE100, Germany 30 and France 40 are all following the same pattern, surely they should be different, why is this?

Many thanks,

[Day Traders Will Have Fun Until They Get Wiped Out]

Such a happy article LOL. It's true though, but we all know the risks, if it wasn't exciting we wouldn't do it.

[Is your trading an expression of a death wish?]

LOL!
