Rough. First off, be sure you didn't leave any pending orders; there's no point pursuing this if it turns out to be your fault. Your broker should be able to confirm if this was the case. Not a legal expert, but agree with you that the 24 hours rule ...

Legal dispute - unknown trade blew account

Lol, OK. Industry exp. doesn't equal profitable, but it has one edge over 99.9% of the people here - time in the markets. Almost all of the posters on FF these days are squeezing in time in between jobs and their cumulative market time is a fraction ...

Opportunity for coding

Comedy factory at its best when clowns don't recognise experience dangling right in front of them. 95% of the trouble with this place is that novice traders don't have the nous to discern what is genuine versus hokey nonsense. There's a a few ...

Opportunity for coding

^^^^^^ this ^^^^^^^^^^ They're looking to extend and revamp client compo rules. Fair enough you might say, extending the protection, what's the harm in that... but this clause here: " Risk-based levies: We are looking at whether FSCS levies should ...

FCA imposes bonus ban and leverage cap for CFDs

Great post mate, you deserve all the success that's coming to you.

Can anyone become a trader?

It's 22:00 GMT Sunday to 22:00 GMT Friday. These hours encompass the start of Sydney to the close of NY based in London, inclusive of changes in day light saving time when for eg London and NY are out of step for a couple of weeks. The hours are all ...

How is the Forex market opening time determined?

Me? I'd ditch the job, throw all caution to the wind, find out the strategy wasn't stable or reliable, think oh shit I better find something to replace it, spend *years* figuring out what I really needed to know and then come out the other end, ...

Career path decision

Cliff you side-stepped this like you side-step everything else that doesn't fit your vision of Brexit. And exactly like the 'social scientist' did too. you're creating your own echo chamber so I'll wish you well and leave you to it

BREXIT RULES! The Consequences

And I've just seen this. Facts. Whether you want to debate it or not, the EU is a political and economic union, and becoming ever more political. This isn't opinion. Integration isn't overnight, it's a staged process. And when people vote against it ...

BREXIT RULES! The Consequences

What an ABSOLUTE load of cobblers. Pretending to 'understand' what happened, he then goes on to patronise and flatter himself in one foul swoop. In his words, the vote was about those that "embrace globalisation" and "those that fear globalisation". ...

BREXIT RULES! The Consequences

C'mmon Cliff, you know as well as I do, it IS a political union. The fact that the UK is half in/half out is by the by. As you know, the problems with the euro prompted EU official to *speed up* political integration plans, not slow them down. And ...

BREXIT RULES! The Consequences

100% spot on, it's bizarre the way the issue's been handled in this country. I hope Teresa May is just blustering when she's talking about clamping down on EU immigration (which is the lifeblood of the economy) when by and large the serious problems ...

BREXIT RULES! The Consequences

People aren't either competent or not like some kind of a gene that's switched on or off. It's a process - growth, like everything in life. No-one starts off competent at anything, and believing that success is a pure innate talent is the same rigid ...

If you haven't made it yet, what makes you think you will?

Lol, I've not met a single soul who was competent from the outset. The length of the journey is variable, but the journey is same for every one of us. From reckless over-confidence, to mistakes, to humbling (the bottom of the curve), to ...

If you haven't made it yet, what makes you think you will?

Ha, you'd be right there Cliff. But it's not because of the decision - just the way it's being handled. We can argue about the merits or otherwise of Europe but while most of the debate was about Europe today, I voted on what Europe's going to look ...

BREXIT RULES! The Consequences

I thought the media coverage was universally idiotic. Smarmy cleverness on one side, anti-foreigner on the other. More importantly though, if some c*nt doesn't grant all europeans immediate staying rights within the next week, I'm going to stop ...

BREXIT RULES! The Consequences

I'm weaning myself off swearing. Down to three a day now.

BREXIT RULES! The Consequences

This whole campaign has been about as turgid as politics has ever got in this country. And seeing Farage yesterday issuing a masterclass in how not to negotiate with anyone, ever, was the most f8cking idiotic thing I've seen in years. The leave ...

BREXIT RULES! The Consequences

If you've not voted yet, vote on the basis of democracy, crony capitalism and power (on all three counts, I'm out). Immigration is a complete red herring in this debate. And incidentally I love the EU nations, I just think the governance and pace of ...

who's trading during the United Kingdom EU Referendum

Interesting. Given that I don't sell a thing to the retail world (never have, never will), you must know something I don't. Please share. And look, I wasn't trying to make you feel small but I've been doing this for around 10 years, several full ...
