12th November

Dear John

Apologies for not writing yesterday. After my Worldspreads fiasco I took the day off and had the carpet layers come and in generally walked away from trading. I sent Worldspreads a detailed letter and they came back and said this will take a few days to sort out as they have to test the software glitches that may have happened during my complaints etc. I am not holdingout on a refund. It’s cost me £140 so far. I blame myself as I’m a new trader but Leigh literally stood over me when three of the cock ups occurred and saw it wasn’t me. Now to prove it to them. Is it worth the fight? Nah,take it as a loss, get used to losing and realise the next trade is another opportunity. I see this as learning to walk. Baby steps and once I find my groove I’ll be ok.

I keep hearing my mom saying Lehrgeld (German for tuition). Then today I tried to trade but got out at 0. Darren went into a trade and I was on VT. Worldspreads froze and he got out at a loss. Then he went into another trade a while later and it froze again but he called them and they took him out at 25 pips profit. John I can’t work like that. I can’t keepcalling them if their platform freezes. I can’t depend on their cock ups tomake money. It makes it difficult for me to gauge what is my good trading or a screw up that made me money.

Darren’s two freezings this morning firmly encouraged me to contact them andwithdraw my money. I have left a £100 in the account and may work on smaller amounts. To be honest I will wait and see if they improve their platform and then see if I want to go back to them. I have put in $2500 into VT. I had an idea and not sure if this will help you. Can you on your course mention that you use Worldspreads but that there are other companies? This way you free yourself from possible criticism and you then concentrate on the scalping and not the platform itself? It’s up to folk then if they want to use VT or something else. Also this way you can see your course in theUSA.

Until my money is in the account I will trade on Leigh’s account. He’s mades ome losses so I am going to work on that getting used to the trading platform and take it from there. Yesterday after 4pm when Worldspreads went to 3 pips there was a super sell and if I was trading I could have made good money. I’ve always stopped at 4pm but realise now with the VT I can really adjust my trading times. Then I don’t have to get up at 4am in the USA and can chill out and trade when it suits me.

Leigh prefers the Tornado and I am looking more seriously at that now as well. That’s all for now John chat to you later on, hope you are enjoying your time in France. Its’ freezing here Cheers Desiree
