I should put a list with all FTSE 100 ex-dividend but untill then here is Tesco:
Ex-dividend date interim 14 October 2009
Record date interim 16 October 2009
Interim dividend paid December 2009

I am using Sharescope more than a month now, and I get used to it. I still think the interface is not the best and in fact I would love to give them a list with small list for things they need to improve.

But all in all it gives me valuable information and it helps me decide when and what to trade.

All in all it is recommended. I’ve tried some other products and for the price and coverage I think it is the best package out there.

Lets say you lose 3 times in a row – what do you do? keep going? and if it is 5 times? 10 times?
My system is to have many small losses but one or two big profits that cover all the losses and adds value. This can be very hard on you mind. Sometime you can wait 6-7 trades before you have one good trade. Then you start to think maybe your system is wrong maybe you need to change something or to leave the system all alone.

It is good to tweak the system and learn from mistakes but don’t be tempted to leave your system just because you have a bad strike! Use stop-loss to limit you losses and keep them small. Very small. This can help! And don’t forget to move your stop loss to a profit zone once your trade goes in your direction.
