You'll often hear traders talking about their "edge", some factor which makes their trading, over any significant period of time, more likely to win than it is to lose. If you take trade signals, you're basically saying your "edge" is that you are more trusting than most traders. Is that really...

The trading platform is the generic issue from the firm I trade through. Apparently it has looks and features very similar to MT4. I run Windows 10 Home, 64-bit. Never seen it crash.

Reviewing trades has to have a purpose, and that purpose therefore tells you what to record in your log. Some of the conclusions I want to draw from my own trade reviews include assessments of - entry pattern rules for determination of initial SL trailed SL rules (if any) TP position rules (if...

Never had an issue with W10. Never crashed, everything has worked fine since I bought the PC, its just over 2 yrs old. I give it light use I suppose, its quite a basic model.

We don't see Trump in the media every single day over here where I live but is it my imagination or does he not put out three opinions on every issue and then later go with what seems the best? Course, he's not the first politician to do that but it wouldn't inspire my undying support.

But maintaining a false belief would be known to their omniscient God or Gods wouldn't it? So that's never going to work - if there's a deity waiting at the end of life. Seems more likely they just don't believe in God.

I have a feeling we all try too hard with stuff like this. An adequate filter for rising stocks would be buy at the close of each week if both the stock and its index are up over the last three weeks. The real skill comes in knowing when to hold, when to close, when to add.

If you want exposure to an entire stock market or stock market sector, it would be more economical to buy an iShare or similar of the index.

Donchian Channels can be very rewarding for traders if they are viewed with the proper perspective. By which I mean that, like trend-lines, MA's, candlestick patterns, H&S and all the rest, they should be seen not as predictors of what the market will do, but as a structure for the what the...

You introduced the Julian Assange affair into this thread to help illustrate a point you wanted to make. I challenged your interpretation of that affair as I don't think it helps your point with your main case. If you were not prepared to have people disagree with you, you should not have come...

CSETrader - I have nothing to say on your trading record or your ongoing issues with UBS Bahamas. However, you were the one who initiated discussion in this thread on an additional subject, Julian Assange's arrest, in which I was interested and so I replied. I didn't start the discussion and...

What's the problem CSEtrader? You mentioned Julian Assange in your post 389. I did not refer to him until you did. I only replied to your post on this subject. I'd be happy if you want to continue the debate on the Assange episode. Or start a new thread on him if you prefer.

Assange is accused with credible evidence of serious crimes in two other countries, Sweden and the US. He has also committed an offence in the UK by absconding whilst on bail, even though the charges for which he was bailed do not relate to crimes in the UK. He must face trial for each of these...

Assange has been arrested by UK police as there is a warrant outstanding for his arrest on behalf of the Swedish authorities. Their international warrant remained in force for his arrest, as soon as Ecuador withdrew his asylum status and either invited police to enter their London embassy or if...

There's no such thing as voluntary imprisonment. In this case, what you interpret as voluntary imprisonment is just evasion of justice. I hope a UK prosecution follows rapidly. If Sweden do now wish to proceed with extradition, the US may go ahead and Britain should make no other choice but to...

Julian Assange entered the Ecuadorean embassy in London having been released on bail by a UK judge after he surrendered himself to UK police following Sweden's issue of an international arrest warrant concerning allegations of sexual assault and rape there. Breaching UK bail is an offence in...

No, he was fooled by sensational headlines, wilfully ignored the really much more issues affecting the black community, jumped on a high profile political band-wagon, abused his privileged media profile, dragged his employer into a personal non-sports non-employment issue, disrespected his...

Take a look at daily charts from 1995 and 2018 and see if you can tell if there's any difference. I'm going to bet if you saw a 3 month slice of daily candlesticks from these two years without date or price legends, they would look indistinguishable. While you're at it, just for a bit of fun...

I always use a TA-based level to set the SL, what some might call support or resistance though I never go through plot those as horizontal lines on my charts. Instead, if I'm buying on a breach of the high of a swing low bar, the SL will probably go in at the low. The exception I make is when...

Diversification in the forex field fails when risk tolerance falls (or rises) significantly across the wider financial sector. Look at the Brexit effect for the last 2 months or so. Why would the UK leaving the EU have an impact on USD/JPY, or AUD/CAD? But yet it has.
