Well thanks for the advice guys and the motivation. Jonno I wouldnt mind trying SSF but I remember the first presentation by Std Bank in which caution was advised regarding trading SSF.For now i think i have to get bigger balls to deal SSF in this market but i appreciate your advice and will choose it as a last resort. I think my reasons for trading warrants is that it allows money to be made on both sides. Using the fluctation and monitoring the volumes together with key information (eg obama rally, bad press,etc) I made the warrant trades.I agree we are in longer down trend however the way I think about it is that - if this was my real job I would still have to show some of profit at the end of every year. Now I am not aiming to be a guru but atleast be able to use TA and fundamentals to predict some trends. else whats the point. I might as well go play roulette. The warrants course advises to be original when choosing warrants , i tried that , predicting in advance and then we had a massive dec/jan rally.I then watched volumes to check for manipulation but So far I have always been on the opposite ends of the trade and the stop losses are wiping out the capital....
