Be honest guys, excluding any profits from the rebound off last year's lows, is anyone up this year? I am interested to see if it is possible to profit from this trading range we find ourselves in

Not personally in the black!!! But the guys I know who are, are trading intra day and max. over 3 days - no longer!!!! Tells you that you can make money, just need to be active and decisive - one day when I'm big!!!!

Ag Charty, you're just too damn good. But you'll buy us all a drink when it happens, won't you?

There will obviously be a few guys in the black.I would be more interested to have a comparison of how many are in the black and how many are in the red over a longer period.Forumites are more vocal when up,so I suspect we get a skewed idea of what's really happening.I have this horrible feeling that the majority go down and sink without trace,only to be replaced with other newbees,most of whom similarly disappear.I would like OST to give us some idea of the percentage of traders who make profit over time compared with those who are in the red.I suspect that we will never get these figures as it would not be in their interests to disclose that most lose money (even get totally wiped out) but it would be of general interest to all. Come on OST,let us know!

u know how companies use (often irrelevant inflated) stats to market their products?....u know 80% of dentists use XYZ toothpaste therefore u should use it too (conveniently forgetting that they get given bucket loads for free)...well this would be tantamount to saying... 100% of dentists use a dental drill therefore u should use it on your teeth too..only 95% of normal people end up hideously disfiguiring their face...

Yeah, made a good chunk on Gold at the beginning, but gave a bit back too.

Still in the green on a 3 month long trend-following Satrix40 short. Also made some good whack on an AGL trade off its 22 day EMA using the Elder play.
