    Warning to all dirty spekulants (sp)

    Spread betting is a leveraged product, your losses may FAR exceed any profits made.

    You have been warned!

      Does this mean that you're losing money on oil ?

        FTFY, but only if you don't know what you are doing, and don't pay attention to the upcoming news diary.

          I did know about the diary. Yesterday I was £100 up and ready to close when a series of long phone calls took my eye off the ball, loss has been growing steadily. I knew the news was coming today, but there wasn't much I could do. Hoped for a bit of a rally which never came.

            Lesson learned then.

            Hoping for a rally is a fools errand - everybody would be waiting for the news, demand drops, therefore prices drop.

                That was related to the news though, not the effect of the people waiting for the news....

                  No icon for big mistake, so this will have to do

                  You are making the usual beginner mistakes:

                  Changing targets, changing stoplosses and increasing your risk, altering your tradeplan, not having a tradeplan, overleveraging, letting emotion get in the way, the list goes on...
