    Mike - Claire Thread

    I was enjoying it enormously myself.. but baron was prob right to shut it down.. the last post (so to speak) of that guy really showed his true colours.. nasty to say the least. I thought it was an ok bit of foreigner bashing until then.. we should be able to take a bit and dish a bit I...

    Have you ever been threatened by Interactive Brokers ? Yes, we did

    we all talk rubbish mostly mike.. and rubbish begets rubbish in my experience. Oh for the days of TWO super powers! Now that was fun wasn't it? Mind you.. not being american I am not quite up for the gung-ho stuff myself and certainly feel that my friends over the pond are just a teeny...

    He probably really is french but does not want to admit it.. who would? Can't blame him for that.. just a bit hard on the poor old italians! and his comments are surely not inflammatory.. only meant to stimulate a reasoned intellectual debate about cultural and regional differences (god I...

    LOL Yes that is true.. I wonder if he is regretting starting this thread by now? He could just ignore it of course.. but thats not possible is it.. it will keep drawing him back like a morbid fascination.. or just one more cigarette.. Anyway, I am grateful to him as this thread is helping...

    Come on now.. its time to be fair! Mike is not even french he is italian, he has pointed this out now several times and all people do is carry on poking fun at the frenchies.. its about time the italians had a turn! They gave us lots to be thankful for remember.. plumbing, lead poisoning...

    Have you ever been threatened by Interactive Brokers ? Yes, we did

    Yes but it still is not compulsary and long before you got to this page you will have cottoned onto the fact that it aint all about trading.. so you could ring fence it and never have anything to do with again! Lighten up.. I know some messages have been more than a little vitriolic, but...

    If only.. but then I guess if europe can ever agree on such a simple thing as using the best most useful language as the official one.. then you SHOULD start to worry!! Fat chance of that tho.. no problem with uniform size for tomatoes and apples but giving up 12 translations for euro...

    Voluminous Trading

    I am inclined to agree with stevet here.. altho good points have been made also in defence of volume. I certainly think the time frame is important in use of volume and it may well be more useful on a daily chart than a 5 min one.. I find that if I try to use too many indicators my trading...

    Voluminous Trading

    hmmm.. not using it at all in fact, basically confused by all the ways it could perhaps be used. I mostly watch price action and resistance/support areas looking for change of direction setups.. when I look back over my trades and pull up the volume studies I usually just find nothing that I...

    Voluminous Trading

    Ok.. so I have read more times than anything else of the value of using volume in my charts. Reams of sound advice.. unassailable wisdom.. The only thing is.. I keep adding the volume study to my charts for a while, but for the life of me.. for every instance I detect of it being relevant...

    Lazy Afternoon Trading -

    I guess it all depends on how you trade.. the market moves = money can be made.. it ain't exactly flat all day after 10.00am! Thats not to say its easy.. far from it for me.. I do feel I am getting somewhere however and my personal experience is that while some of my best gains have come from...

    I let the odd trade run through to the next day too.. still scares me a bit tho but has mostly worked out ok. Is that with nyse or nastydaq stocks? I am using deal4free at the moment and their stops seem to hold really well for me if I get stopped on a gap the next day.. Neil

    I like the graphics candle.. very funny.. lol Says it all... less haste more speed... I find it so myself yes.. as I don't like following trends it suits me better to go for the reversal of direction and there are definitely plenty of those later in the day. The market at the moment...

    Lazy Afternoon Trading -

    yes thats it.. more relaxed.. my trading has certainly improved since I slowed down and took it easier.. I am more receptive now to the idea of surviving the losing periods and plugging away until I return to the gaining days. A positive expectancy and a belief in the probabilities of...
