agreed. I'm well aware of statistics as a way of formulating trade ideas and entries, but, to me, that is really just TA. Brings us back to where we were. So, come on non TA'ers....put some meat on the bone.

interesting idea for a thread. I think as a retail trader, there really isn't really any 'alternative'. There's fundamental analysis of course. We all know about that. Just as many have blew their accounts trying to be a 'fundamentals trader' as have blew up from looking at candlestick...

hehe. No need to be mean. I certainly wasn't bragging! :) I know that most here make 10k in a few hours, but the money wasn't the point of the post. Stake size is trading 50-100 shares. I only posted it because surf said he wanted to see at least 1000 trades in a statement. I work full...

I've made over 4000 trades this last few months.....

You gotta die of something. May as well have a little fun along the way....

Thanks. It fits in with my general belief, but it's nice to hear it from someone more successful than myself! I've been trying to crack the market for a lot longer than I care to admit. Years and years and years. After the first few years I decided TA/charts were just silly voodoo and began...

The_Oracle is the same person as The_expert.

You're doing good. Keep it up.

Because, in my experience, the people who genuinely make consistent, big profits year after year, do not care much for charts/technical analysis etc. Most of them think it's just voodoo nonsense. And RiffRaff, it looks like my assumption was correct ;) : cheers

great results, sellindexvol. I'm assuming you don't use charts or TA or anything like that? regards.

is saliva/schizo still posting? I miss his trade calls.

wouldn't the vix at 30 be more like £6000 profit if long from 22 at £8 per point? (as opposed to £900) And you're saying you closed it last Friday and then opened it up again? I'm completely confused, lol.
