Dear Santa - I've been a good boy all year...............

Its possible that last week saw unusual or even unique conditions, so this strategy worked better than normal. I'm prepared to play with it a bit more until I'm sure. But I've always believed in following price trends, and obviously the averages show these. Anyway, come January I'll run more of...

yes obviously, in a predominantly Christian country a Christian is more likely to be your random murderer. But going back to my original post on this and you will see that i am talking about "religiously motivated". Come back when you can read and retain.

There are distinct financial advantages to living as a couple, and if you have a child it forms a more constructive and stable home to have a male and female parent/guardian. However, if not for the over-riding imperative of getting sex somehow, I don't see why men would bother that much with...

This clip popped up on my Youtube page, its from Christopher Lewis, TheTraderGuy and FXEmpire. Use the daily chart and add a short-term MA. If the MA slopes upwards, set a buy at the day's high, set the SL at the day's low: if the buy is triggered the next day, move the SL to b/e and then to...

Correction: The Christians don't try to kill me.

The Christians leave me alone.

Of course I accept they were bullish in their own right or to your credit you wouldn't have bought them. But the broader market has been falling like debris raining from a burning building for weeks and weeks. That represents smart money (i.e. bigger money than ours) being pulled out of...

There are (/ should be) three types of private individuals in the equities market - investors - buy stocks for dividend income and pass the stocks on to your children: never sell; traders - bet on stock indices rising in bull market times and bet on stock indices falling in bear market times...

I don't normally read or watch much on relationships but this clip popped up on my Youtube page. The guy is some sort of counsellor for males and makes a decent argument that women inherently exhibit borderline personality disorder behaviours either involuntarily or as a learned manipulative...

Buying the dip means buying when the market is in a downtrend. The rationale is that as the market indices rise over the long term, so whenever they fall gives a discounted a buying opportunity. Its true that equity market indices do rise over the long term, but that's because their memberships...

And later, it might be healthy to review what sort of strategy tells you to buy into stocks in a (still) falling market.

This whole "safe haven" proposal is a fallacy. Its based on finding a specific secondary asset or into which you can transfer your capital so that it is not depleted by a more widespread primary market price fall. The point of successful trading is that when the primary market falls you sell it...

tom - I never do any intra-day TA, the only time I see a 30 minute chart is when I open my provider's charts - they default to this - just before I re-set them to D1. Is ATR down so much? What caused this? Is it temporary or a permanent feature now? Thanks.

I've watched a lot of clips from the same site, they're generally practical and informative. But let's face it, profitable "scalpers" don't watch videos entitled "Is scalping still profitable?" So its a clip for new or not yet traders. And this is where the dishonesty comes in. Show me 100 new...

Its scalping Jim but not as we know it.

This is a good feature of capitalism, its blind. I mean its blind in the way that the statue of Justice is blindfolded. So companies don't set out to make a certain type of person rich (or poor), they set out to make money for everyone who's involved. And to be a trader or a shareholder, the...

While it is simple, and following a simple strategy is inherently easy, there's a huge disconnect between the truth in what you say based on your experience and the truth as new traders experience it. Yes, a system that works consistently is inherently simple and easy, otherwise it could not be...

Yes, but...... Actually I am experimenting for about a week now with short-term entry orders set after the close just based on the day's high or low. Where these are triggered over-night and run me into a position which is not aligned with a strong trend, I am looking to exit on Day 1. But for...

Yes.
