Don’t worry, I don’t mean I’m shutting up shop. I mean that my much-documented pyramided position trade on Barratt has finally come to an end by stopping out. Here are the final scores in two spread betting accounts: By my reckoning, it’s £866 profit, having taken nothing like that much risk along the way. And […]

Betting on Barratt (again)
Regular readers will realise that no week would be complete without me having placed another bet on Barratt. So here it is, a new pyramided position that takes my total stake in my Capital Spreads reference account to £7-per-point: This is turning into a really nice example of a pyramided position trade, but you will […]
Six of the Best on Barratt
I’m beginning to sound like a broken record with all my posts about the Barratt position trade, but here I go again. I’ve added yet another £1-per-point position in the Capital Spreads account, making six of the best pounds-per-point as shown here: A discussion on a forum elsewhere now prompts me to say something about […]
Barratt and the Five Point Pyramid
Sorry it’s been a bit quiet around here in the past week, but we’ve been away: (it’s not Switzerland, it’s Scotland) Anyway, following on from the documented four-point pyramid of Barratt, I can tell you that this position trade is now up to five points as shown in the Capital Spreads snapshot below. Two Steps […]
Barratt Benefits from the Budget
You can imagine how interesting it was for me to see the Barratt share price shoot up in response to Chancellor George Osborne’s budget announcements about supporting buyers of new homes. It was interesting to me, obviously, because I’ve been pyramiding Barratt recently. The bottom line is that the guaranteed stop order on my most recently […]
Barratt and the Four Step Pyramid
If I’m serious about extolling the virtues of pyramiding in my Position Trading book, I’d better show you convincingly how it can go beyond the usual two- or three-step pyramids that I have posted here before.

(Pyramid) Trade of the Week on Barratt
Do you remember my “Trade of the Week” feature from a couple of weeks ago? It was the one in which I told you how I had just pyramided Barratt so that I had one position with a guaranteed profit and another position (in the same stock) with a very manageable worst-case loss. Well, things […]
Has London Capital Group (LCG) turned the corner?
By Tony on May 13, 2013 in barratt, capital spreads, intertrader, lcg, position trading, pyramiding, stop orders
I ask the question “Has London Capital Group (LCG) turned the corner?” because I have a couple of modest spread bet exploratory positions riding on the hope that it has: Both positions (blue lines) are now in profit, with my common guaranteed stop order (red dashed line) somewhere between the two entry prices… which means that I […]
£500 Profit from £25 Risk
Anyone who has read my blog regularly will be well aware of the example (but real) Barratt position trade that I’m running in a Capital Spreads account. You will recall that this position trade began life as a single £1-per-point position with an initial risk of (about) £25 to my guaranteed stop order. By pyramiding this […]
