Last month was worst month of the year for me...this month one of the best (after Jan)....im swing trader holding for couple of days-2/3weeks or so. To be honest tho, I dont think it was the market really, but myself that gave me the worst month last month.

I find the same in the UK, sometimes you assume everyone has heard of X Y or Z because about everyone you talk to has heard about it....BUT, thats because I talk to and mix with people who have similar interests to myself and are more fiscally aware on a personal and national level. I think...

While not sure if this could be the only thing to explain it, I do agree its part of major contribution. I think the same can be seen in the likes of the UK, debt and credit is what is fueling continued consumer purchases and house price increases, also the debt taken out is taxed (at least in...

Im also more discretionary, however I look at a list of about 200 stocks that meet my price/volume requirements. I go off of daily/weekly charts however looking for longer term trades and only drop down to smaller time frames to find more suitable entrances on the longer chart. So easy enough...

http://money.cnn.com/2005/04/05/real_estate/rentprices/index.htm Nice little article, goes to show that some areas the cost of renting is half the cost of owning (assuming 20% down and 5% intrest only rate).

He only posted his station at first as per title of the thread...all other info is stuff rest of us have requested from him no?

Imagine the porn viewing overload with a system like that....Or could do an even split, top row all porn, middle row trading, bottom row car/boat/plane/boy toys shopping sites to spend all the cash earned. Get a hot tub placed where the desk chair is with a different high price escort coming...

Spydertrader, I have only just started going over your thread in the past few days so not fully upto speed on changes you have made to the original Hershey teachings and method posted on the first page. Although I started to use his methods ages ago I never followed through fully due to...

If you take a look at daily/weekly charts, ive no clue why anyone would be long on GM.

Currently being outside is limited due to the crapy Scottish weather, with the odd nice day you appreciate the sun all you can! However im intending on moving in the not too distant future with intent on having bit more oppertunity to enjoy the outside more in a sunnier climate, also a place...

I dont have a Pocket PC yet but I am looking to get one so will be interesting on any comments about broker access. However my main intended use is so I can VNC (like PcAnywhere) into my main desktop and access charts/broker from there..So I can sit outside and just quickly check on some charts...

I havent done computerized testing of my stops, but my experiences show the exact same thing. I trade from hourly - 8 hour charts mostly and Ive found good trades can be stopped out far too readily due to my conservative stops (something I learned/read/was told is the only way to go). However I...

I got a degree in computer science as it was what I wanted to do for many years, then after working for few years at crap company made me really question if I could see myself sitting in a office 9-5 earning a regular wage and living the rat race till I die. I couldnt. However, its nice to...

How big is your average stop loss? I find with forex with the movement being quite large a lot of the time 10-15pips is within a normal flux range, unless you can keep your stops < 10pips including spread (and not get taken out by normal price flux) then your going to have a hard time making...

I go with trends, but I catch counter movements also if a news day warrants it. With big news days price can shoot off and if I miss the start i will get in at a pullback/pause before the next movement. I use a price crossing over SMA similar to you also but do it at varying levels not just...

Steve, your doing very much the same as me. While I do look at 30min-5min for turning points I focus on hourly and 8hour charts mainly. I find the risk/reward to be far greater. I dont call tops/bottoms, I wait for the 30min to show the trend is now heading in the direction I want on the...

Thanks for that, one of the reasons I have a place in Ireland is due to its no taxation on world wide income unless remitted back to Ireland if your resident but not domiciled there, nice to find out more info. On similar note is there anyone reading this who would be willing to refer me to a...

Best thing is to get a ADSL router with built in firewall...to get basic safety just enabling a "Block All Traffic Originating From InterNet" rule will help a load, thusly only connections originating from you are allowed to send anything through it back to your machine. Not sure what you mean...
