    13 points would mean £13 at £1 a point, £26 at £2 a point, and so on - I'm doing £1 a point at first, obviously :eek: if you get it wrong, the loss is in the same proportion - if it goes the wrong way by 10 points, you lose £10 at £1 a point and so on ....

    Hi KC, just catching up and was thinking that it may be useful I post some of the stuff I've been reading about - it is all about building income by different means. Will get around to it during the weekend.

    Look after self and what is this talk of not posting? As Tony Soprano would say 'Forget about it...'

    How lovely to have you as a visitor! Thank you! And for your kind words, loving the Tony Soprano quote :D I really enjoyed the first season there :D:D:D

    I'd be very interested to see any links you've got on building income - its something I'm very much in need of, obviously :o. Thank you :j

    I would agree with this, if it's difficult for whatever reason, type it up in Wordpad, or word or whatever, and then copy and paste it in. I often have to do that as my little netbook often goes back a page accidentally and I lose stuff, so if its more than a few lines, I type it offline first.

    Glad you got somewhere with the trading, even just being around to see if what you expect actually works.

    So was this with 'real' cash in your trading account or are you still on the 'playing' account.

    Hope you got your shopping done.
