For every £1 placed into my CFD account, I make sure I put £10 into my long investment portfolio.
I've sinced emptied the CFD account and started using Interactive Brokers instead.

This was held for nearly a month. 390 profit, but take away commission of around 34, and interest of
around 150 I am left with 233 only. share price gain was about 2%. Holding a position for this long
also gives me some stress.

I survived the credit crunch. :P The drawdown was around £1000 or nearly 10% on this trade. Holding
on to this was quite stressful.
Entry was bad. I saw a 1%+ drop so i thought I might as well buy in. and then it drops another 5%!!
Exit was ok, initially I thought I got out earlier than I should have as it kept going up, but a few days
it is back down again.

Bought in at the first dip.. which was a mistake. Couple of problems with this trade. The risk is
too big for this account. (exposure to £12K). Interest hurts when going long over a couple of
months - a margin loan is more appropriate. I had no stop and no exit plan for this trade. I didn't not
check the trend. The macd (2nd diagram) was crossing down, not up. RSI was in the middle. As for exiting
I freed up capital so I could trade AUS shares instead.
