16th October

Dear John

I have sat here riveted watching your course since lunchtime when it arrived. I completed disc 1 and tomorrow will start on disc2. What I found very exciting is that your way of trading procedure is similar to mine so I’m definitely on the right track. I follow what you do closely and apart from you using the Worldspreads charts which I find hard to understand even though I had previously added all the indicators you mention in this course I can’t come to grips with candlesticks so I have the same screen set up using the VT instead. Despite the charts there once I’m in the trade I watch the red and blue box with my finger on the trigger to capture my profits.

What really excited me is the time you take to place your stops. I imagined scalping would be super fast and little time for stops. As my maths is atrocious and I get the direction of putting the stops wrong at times, it’s encouraging to know that I have time to think it through and place my stop. I will place it at 10 and not 20 anymore and get out before 10. As an added insurance but I can see the charts are not accurate enough and that is having two instances of Worldspreads open so I can watch my open summery bets and the trading window to close. They are delayed and I have to keep clicking refresh to get an accurate account. However now having watched you I’ll just watch the red and blue boxes to count my profits or losses.

Tomorrow I will start practising. This is so do-able I can’t wait to start. I know I’m doing the right thing. Every night I dream of charts and have done since I started the first course.

More tomorrow - Byeeeeeeeeeeeeee - Desiree
