11/8/12 +$600 (Natural Gas) Demo

I'm not sure if brokers are getting more strict about news trading or if its just the brokers im choosing. I attempted to trade with a new broker with $100 in live money. SNW Elite entered a buy order and it was clicked in on my demo account but for some reason on the live account it didnt enter the order but showed that I had a loss. I was only trading .3 lots and the market only moved down 6 pips before spiking up 30 pips. .3 lots multiplied by 6 is 18 dollars that I would of been down before it shot up 30 pips. There was no reason for me to be taken out of this trade. They still havent given me an answer as to why the trade was stopped.  Anyway im just venting now. The demo did well and got a great fill, I was able to make $600. <br /> <iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/G6qQYsvtgbA?rel=0" width="480"></iframe>

11/5/12 -$490 (aud int. rate.)

Today I attempted to trade the Australian interest rate at 10:30. In my effort to show the good with the bad I can honestly say this was a disaster. Thank God I only traded 2 lots instead of 5 like i was considering. It should of been an easy win but for some reason I was filled 20 pips above the 10:30 bar. I went back to re watch the video and it shows my spread was 6 pips. I checked to see where the 10:30 bar opened and I was filled 52 pips from the open of the spike bar and 20 pips above the high of the 10:30 bar. I've written my brokerage about this and hopefully we can resolve the issue. I dont mind spreads widening but getting filled 50 pips away from the open when my spread shows 6 pips is wrong. Anyway watch the massacre below. Ill update after I speak to my rep.

Funny because there was a gap on all of the brokers I was trading but none of the others filled this bad. They offered me trading rebates moving forward from November onwards of $2 per standard lot traded. I've been having issues recently with bad spreads and bad fills with these guys so it might be time to jump ship and move on. </span><br /> <br /> <br /><br />

11/1/2012 +$1300 (Natural Gas) Demo

Another great trade. 2 of my brokerage accounts were moving extra slow for some reason, as in not entering trades for 10 seconds after I press the buy or sell button. Only 1 broker acted right and that one made over $700 while the other 2 each made $320. I've allready contacted the 2 brokers to see why the delay happened. Ill know shortly hopefully.

10/24/2012 +$1120 (Crude Oil) Demo Trade

Crude oil has hit again. I received a Sell2 trigger on snw elite and made 56 pips in one broker and 56 pips in another. My live broker was supposed to have the cfd's up last week but their still not up as of yet. Very frustrating. Anyway enjoy the video and thanks for watching.....

10/11/2012 +$1600 (Natural Gas) Demo Trade

Well natural gas finally hit. Its too bad my broker hasnt added crude oil or natural gas as of yet. Guess patience is a virtue as they say. Any how everything went as it should of. One of my demo brokers had terrible spreads and the market gapped up upon the release so I only made about $360 but my other demo broker was perfect, low spread, great fill and I made over 60 points. I used secret news weapon elite with 5 and -5 as my triggers.
