AVFORUMS Fantasy Stock Market League

Think I'll play the fantasy stock market for a while (with the current climate I don't think I've got the cohoonas(sic) to risk my own money)

Anybody want to join me.

I've created a free account at Fantasy Share Trading, Spread Betting and CFD Trading Game

League Link http://www.bullbearings.co.uk/leagues.php?league=8984


I've created an AVFORUM league. Imaginativley I've called it AVFORUMS. Feel free to join in.

I've changed the password as somebody keeps joining the league using an offensive user name. If you need the league password post on this thread and somebody will send it to you.

We all get £100k free to start off with. I've bought £1.5k RBS so I'll see how it goes.

League position as at 20/12/08:

Yes but it costs nothing.

Put in my correct email but I made up my home address (just in case they want to send me any junk mail).

Re: AVFORUMS Fantasy Stock Market League

Thanks.

Noticed a few people have signed up.

I've removed the person who signed up with the C word in their user name. All are welcome but please don't use an offensive user name.

Re: AVFORUMS Fantasy Stock Market League

I've gone short on the FTSE on a spread at £100 a point. I have a stop loss at 4200 so I may get savaged in a morning rally. There's no point in being conservative with fantasy money though.

Go to your league options.

Then click on 'A' for all leagues beginning with A. It should be somewhere on the list.

This might also work but not sure

I've PM'd you the new password.

Re: AVFORUMS Fantasy Stock Market League

I've changed the password as somebody keeps joining the league using **** as their user name.

I've obviously starred out the offensive bit of text. If you need the league password PM me and I'll send it to you.

OK. Who let the pro in?

Seriously what does all that mean?

Going Short? Spread at £100 a point? Stop Loss?

What happened to the good old days. Buy Buy Buy.... Sell Sell Sell....

Spread Betting Going short is betting to go down. Stop Loss automatically closes a position if a certain marker is met (In this case if the FTSE reaches 4200) - I'm not sure how this works with spred bets, but it gave me the option so...
