The CFD, the Cynic and the 600 dollars - What could possibly go wrong?

What better way to follow a manic monday than with a turbulent tuesday! A new high achieved taking me...https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KxYCQJW89Wc!

Only another 100% of the 600 (and then some) dollars to go before the account value is triple!
(i.e. Account Value currently 200ish percent).

The single most important uptrend is the one that occurs in the account equity/value. Happily this particular uptrend seems to be present thus far this week. May it...https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pmgBdqsOwLo...for many years to come!

Account value currently 210%ish.

Heavy clouds gathered threatening to rain on this week's profit parade and break the winning streak. And then lo! A surprise happening befell, bringing wonder and delight in equal measure. The storm abated, and the day yielded a small profit, allowing the parade to continue untarnished.

The account value managed to limp to a new...https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=taOL5HJdx1A of 215%ish.

Well I'm guessing that it's an automated or semi-automated strategy as you spend so much time looking at youtube vids.

Finally we're back on track and...https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=J9lejEoIVPM.

Let's hope this recent resumption of the account value uptrend continues for years to come!

Account value currently 230%ish.

cynic · 28 October 2016

Well the week got off to a torrid start, and after monday it looked like the account value wouldn't be reclaiming it's high for some weeks to come, but then, lo and behold, and very much to my surprise and delight...https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-B1iKoKxkA0...offered some amazing opportunities!

After starting off grimly, the week finished with a fairytale ending. With the account value currently at 275%ish, following 2 solid days of 25%ish profits (on the 600 and then some dollars) the cynic is within striking distance of the power of 3 milestone!

Just... https://m.youtube.com/watch?lc=z12jgzvxgoyest3en23lfplh0lb1i502b.1473083000657855&v=-qkf0fLU2Ao...of 25%ish profit should do the trick!

So does the cynic feel lucky?

Stay tooned, as the intensity builds, in anticipation of yet more exciting developments!

cynic · 1 November 2016

Well the Cynic was feeling lucky, but as things turned out, just not quite lucky enough. The account value is currently 295%ish!

Anyway, definitely drawing...https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PT2_F-1esPk...to the milestone.

cynic · 2 November 2016

The day got off to a great start with the account value skipping through the milestone to an all time high above 305%.

But before the cynic could pop the cap (on the bottle of savings brand lemonade) in celebration of the anticipated immortalisation of this achievement (via the daily statement) some FTSEing event or other simply had to come along to FTSEing...https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7KbGJcxenDc...on recent fortunes, smashing the account value back down to 255%ish.

Damn it!

No worries, you have plenty of capital and youtube vids left.

How easy is it for you to change direction (on the hour, after one day or longer)?

With CFDs it's typically very easy to change direction, as is the case with those currently offered by CMC. But is that the right question?

To flip or not to flip? That is the question!

When one chooses to flip outside of accordance with one's strategy/plan/method, Ms. Market will often treat that as an open invitation to drive the trader flipping mad!

My preference is to rely on the panic button. You know the big red one boldly marked "Get Me the FTSE outta Here!!!"

However, this time around it's looking like flipping may have saved me a motza! Oh how often the same discipline that reaps the rewards subsequently trashes them!

Anyway, just when I was thinking things couldn't get...https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1crL10P3m_E...well see for yourselves!

Account value 185%ish.

Double damn it!!

Can I make a suggestion?

[edit] well I'm going to anyway. You were doing very well. Don't get pulled down.
