    I wish I would have gone into the military. This is really boring.

    Make money from home and finish work by 10am every day. Sounds like a dream. Since I left employment myself, it isn't quite the paradise you'd think. That's a lot of hours per day to fill. It becomes hard work as a job substitute.

    Why the word heresy bothers me.

    Well this is just one of the issues with any developed religion. It is inherently based on beliefs which are accepted as fact through a decision of faith, not on the basis of demonstrable evidence or repeatable experimentation or measured observation or even probability. It follows that faith...

    Another possible removal of golden handcuffs

    There are better jobs and you can get them if you're prepared to pay the price. Or are you saying you stumbled upon the job you have and by sheer good luck found it was absolutely the only job you could do and therefore the most perfect?

    Another possible removal of golden handcuffs

    Don't give up the salary until you can't afford to spend time at work because the trading is so successful. Don't consider giving up work until you're making money with long-term trading: if you can't make money long-term trading, you certainly won't be able to do it through day-trading.

    Capital gain tax in UK

    As a spreadbetter since 2003, I completely agree with these points. SB often gets a bad name from people who don't use it or people who abuse its features: use it correctly and make money.

    Capital gain tax in UK

    Talk to HMRC and get their (written) advice on details like that. Your broker may also be able to point to how other clients handle their tax reporting responsibilities.

    Corbyn as PM - price target for Sterling?

    Parliamentary disagreement increases the probability of a second referendum. This makes No-Brexit more possible, as neither major party is willing to commit itself to defying the 2016 referendum result. But a second referendum also makes an extension to Article 50 more probable, which in turn...

    An old topic: how to describe a "trend" by algos ?

    Simplest approach is always going to be least ambiguous, easiest to follow, less prone to misinterpretation. MA's are good at confirming trend and allowing its consistency to be gauged, but not good at identifying its start and end points. Two MA's is an approach that gives much information...

    I know this should be more on the stock forum...But

    Good news is planned and therefore only emerges on weekdays when maximum benefit can be finessed from its management and cultivation. Mostly bad news occurs at weekends - what good news can befall a bank on a Sunday?

    Corbyn as PM - price target for Sterling?

    Nevertheless, its still true to say that Corbyn is an ideologically driven Marxist-Leninist which makes him dangerous to the UK economy but he is older so probably would only be in No.10 for 1 five-year term (or less). That is good but he might stand aside in favour of John McDonnell, a younger...

    Mostly Rangebound Market?

    Good words of caution. Prices emerging from ranges tend to move dramatically - sudden significant price moves up or down. So living in a range is always going to be subject to nasty surprises.

    Long SP500 after it rose the previous day has been very profitable, however...

    That would make sense if investors in more recent times have shorter holding targets. I suspect this is true, given the expansion of share trading, the increase of share trading for price appreciation as opposed to share-holding for dividends, lower transaction costs, greater and faster...

    Long SP500 after it rose the previous day has been very profitable, however...

    Its odd that the system wins and then fails. Certainly worth a little study to understand what changed. On the other hand, this is a system based on a fallacy anyway. While its a fact that stock indices (not stock index members) have an upward buoyancy due to membership revisions, that doesn't...

    Corbyn as PM - price target for Sterling?

    Difficult choice as neither is suited to such a job, so its a question as to which would do least damage. Corbyn is an ideologically driven Marxist-Leninist which makes him dangerous to the UK economy but he is older so probably would only be in No.10 for 1 five-year term (or less). That is good...
