28th November

Hi John

I did record trading today – 1 pip. I would have had 8 but the euro is so volatile today that VT wouldn’t let me out the trade three times. I got three re-quotes one after the other and then thought sod it I’m not playing this game right now. Leigh had the same problem but he managed to get 16 pips. We woke up as the euro had plummeted and were not sure if it was going to drop further so we waited for a retracement and then when it went down again got in.

I was about to hit sell when the phone rang and GFT called about my account. From what I could make out on their website you have to trade £10 per pip and I wasn’t having any of that just yet. Then I called them and they came back and said I am allowed to trade £1 per pip and on a £1700 account the max I can trade is £7 per pip. So with that in mind I may go ahead and open an account. First I have to see if Worldspreads have paid me back. They said they have but my bank statement doesn’t show it so I need to check this out online.

I may be flying back to the States next week till Christmas as I need work done to my teeth. I do like being here in the UK with three markets open when I’m wide awake and not falling out of bed to drag myself to the computer to trade.

We are off to town for a bit. Will be back around 5ish if you would like to chat. I have nothing to put in the TA for this week. It’s been a rocky week with platforms and losses. A week I’d like to put behind me and start again. This weekend we’ll go over your first course again for a refresher. We both need it.

Hoping to see my investor friend today if possible. He wrote back and said I’m doing fine and he’d let me know if I have a worry. Watch this space Mr Bartlett.

See ya

Desiree
