Spread Betting Update w/e 16/02/07

It's exactly one month since my last spread betting update so I thought I should pop back in here and let you know how I am getting on.

It isn't the most riveting thing to read about when each week I am coming in and basically saying "no new trades this week although one or two did move more into profit" etc

So, letting a month go by has allowed me to make some significant changes to my "spread betting portfolio".

OK, the following table shows the position of my trades after w/e 26th January 2007:

Trade Ref	£ per Point	Long/Short	Entry Price	Current Price	Current P/L
10013	2.70	Long	286.1	310.9	+66.96
10014	3.00	Long	161.2	157.3	-11.70
10015	0.67	Long	541.2	561.4	+13.53
10016	1.00	Long	393.7	367.2	-26.50
10017	0.50	Long	875.8	872.8	-1.50
10018	1.28	Long	260.6	249.8	-13.82

So, P/L Status as of 26/01/07 = +£26.97

Trade reference 10018 was opened on the 15th January.

And the trades look as follows as of close of play today (16th February 2007):

Trade Ref	£ per Point	Long/Short	Entry Price	Current Price	Current P/L
10013	4.05	Long	301.7	329.3	+111.64
10014	3.00	Long	161.2	165.5	+12.90
10015	0.67	Long	541.2	603.0	+41.40
10016	1.00	Long	393.7	378.7	-15.00
10017	0.50	Long	875.8	943.4	+33.80
10018	1.28	Long	260.6	261.9	+1.66
10019	1.64	Short	164.0	164.4	-0.65
10020	0.50	Long	664.5	695.2	15.35
10021	1.09	Long	305.0	303.0	-2.18
10022	0.64	Long	515.0	505.8	-5.88
10023	1.04	Long	325.00	318.80	-6.44
10026	0.85	Short	389.6	402.4	-10.88
10027	0.75	Long	444.0	445.6	+1.20

So, P/L Status as of 16/02/07 = +£176.91

There are a few new trades there which have been opened over the past two weeks including 2 short positions. Both of these, of course, moved higher as soon as I decided to short them!

Trade reference 10025 is an addition of £1.35 per point to 10013 because the share moved so high that I decided to add more money to it.

Trade reference 10024 opened and closed on the same day at the same price (still not sure how it happened) so I had to wait to open it again and it became trade reference 10027.

Thanks for reading,
