Punting the Dax


In response to dD's comment on my redundant trading blog (I might start posting again if I can find anything useful to say), the info on the dax refers to some trades that I did (quantity figures are not real by the way) on dax futures.

I was just experimenting with posting real time trades, but it's hard to do that and trade at the same time. And in retrospect, the info was pretty useless , as there was no explanation of the my trade decisions.

A £500 spreadbetting account is much bigger than my own! I only have £50 in a barclays spread betting account. They give you £100 if you sign up. And I lost £50 on a mistimed FTSE punt.

Anyway, if you'd like to discuss anything to do with trading, feel free to leave a comment here.

I would certainly be interested about hearing more about this Edge, I know nothing about trading stocks, but we all have to start somewhere....right?

R.E. the comment I left on your blog the other day was just "the truth" as I see it!

Hey Pokermunk3y,

To get the £100, just go here. There's a banner advert at the top listing the offer. Unfortunately you can't withdraw the cash for 6 months. But that doesn't mean you can't use it for a couple of bets. Be very careful and read the terms and conditions. This stuff is done on margin, so if you're unlucky you can lose more than your £100.

If you want to play super-safe, as I did, you can just find a cheap option to take a punt on. But you need a big move for the trade to go your way.

Good luck!

Hey dD,

I work in the city of London. And trade futures for a company. But I'm not sure if you'd call me a "city trader", as wear combats and t shirts rather than a suit.

Unfortunately, this doesn't mean I can tell you whether the FTSE will go up or down. Professional trading, in my view, is about liquidity provision (i.e. quoting a price) rather than guessing where the market's going to be next week.

Good luck!

The Edge.

Hey dD,

The aggregator I use is web based. But there are numerous desktop solutions you can install locally. I prefer using a web based solution as it means I can use it from anywhere.

If you'd like an aggregator similar to mine, you just need to install drupal on a web server. In order to make look like mine, you'll need a file that I wrote. Drop me an email (acorn, juice, rosie and mighty penis have my address, I'm not posting it here, please don't post yours) and I'll send it to you.

Regards,

The Edge.

I have mighty penis on Yahoo messenger. Not his MSN though.

Or can you think of another safe way to transfer email addresses without publishing to the internet?
 

# Blogger MiasDaddy wrote at 9:06 PM :

The Mighty Penis to the rescue!

Please support the mighty penis campaign by linking to his blog using the word mighty penis.

Here is the html:

<a href="http://mias-dad.blogspot.com/">Mighty Penis</a>

It should look like:
