Smart money and dumb money are a bit of a myth anyway, a diversion from the real game. It takes big money to move prices on big markets. I'm not so dumb as to think I'm smarter than the clever boys and girls in the City or on Wall Street.

Price changes leading up to earnings announcements?

Funny how many of these such horror stories revolve around crypto-currencies (or Tesla)......

dailyfx.com is very helpful mainly because of their video clips. Not saying I follow their trade biases but their analyses, both FA and TA are good.

I've never seen any SB firm offer IPO's. Those shares don't always appear on their books until days after the float.

If you're in the UK, LCG offer a spreadbetting account with several hundred US shares listed. I haven't been able to root out a total tally for you but if you have some particular shares as examples I can test out their list and see if they're on it.

If you want to learn everything about forex trading, it will take forever as there is so much to learn that by the time you've absorbed it, things have changed and you now have more learning to do. How long does it take to make a consistent profit? 3 months, including 3 days to learn a simple...

These sorts of parameters have been well studied by Thomas Bulkowski. Have a look at thepatternsite or his Encyclopediae of Chart Patterns or of Trading Classic Chart Patterns.

His characters had a sort of naughty sense of fun. I remember enjoying Shamus the most though it didn't do that well. I remember his shocking accident in it when a tree gave way under him, I'm sure he must have been pretty badly hurt, he was doing his own stunts. Typical of the man I would have...

Plus, 60% of the open positions with my spreadbetting account provider are already short on the Dow.

Even if you're right, I can't short the biggest stock market index in the world when its price is above the 50EMA and the 50EMA is sloping upwards.

Master one simple technique. Understand why it works and how it could be improved. Maximise its returns. Be aware that the more detailed the strategy or the more specific it is to a certain market, the more vulnerable it is having simply been curve fitted or optimised to a unique situation...

Its AN edge, its not the only edge. The situation in which it would be the ONLY edge would be where the trader makes random entries, e.g. in blackjack where the payer is dealt a random hand and "enters" the game without seeing the cards, but can adjust their risk management as the play...

Seems like advice only for the absolute inexperienced investor. Surely if the intended audience for his little article had been ET traders, he'd have said something a sight more interesting.

You're in the US, you're on your own mate.

If they don't have a choice?...... The EU regulator for the industry, ESMA, has made negative equity protection mandatory for all EU forex brokers from August. There has been talk that now that the risk of losing more than you deposited has been eliminated (and this protection will be backed up...
