I am experimenting with some trades (albeit on a live account with a small four figure sum. I appreciate the risks with my learning capital). I made about 25% in the previous few weeks after some of the information in various threads here. Call it beginner's luck. So I have a couple hundred pounds I will take a bit of risk with.
Something smelled fishy so to test it opened a few opposing trades using the smallest size allowed. One was a Mar 2013. The other was a brief on the FTSE Dec 2012. They were created apart.
Therefore the net standing on the account is -#65.00. That, to me, if remain constant till I pull out of one of the trades. But it appears to go up and down. Why's that? The comparative charts are moving in tandem, the spreads have not changed. Why should the balance fluctuate?
Thanks in advance.
