In a bucket shop that's regulated in the Caribbean!

Gartman seems to work out the long term trends by what the market did that day. So if the Dow is up today the long term trend according to him is higher. But if it closes down tomorrow the long term trend will have shifted 180' to now be lower. Also many of his rules are so subjective they look...

If you've got the money to make a big deposit you should have the knowledge to work out whether to make said big deposit. IFC is regulated from the Caribbean so that's all one really needs to know.

Spread bet options are also a small market so as your broker knows your position and therefore probably knows what you're going to do, they will probably takes ticks out of you all the time. Nothing you can do about it.

You're making it too complex when it's very simple with spread bets. An option is offered at 25-28. You buy at 28, £10 a point. Assume the option goes to zero. Your loss is 28 points x £10 or £280. Assume the option goes higher and is now priced at 77-81. You sell the bid at 77. Profit is...

Fine, then get ready for major frustration as you miss countless trading opportunities. 99% of the people picking up on those good trades will be people that are setup properly, sitting in front of their screens (noses pressed against them), concentrating, waiting, watching, all ready to...

The secret if there is one with day trading is CONCENTRATION. Hard to concentrate when on the road using a smart phone.

Sometimes the boys just want it higher, creates action, orders, profits/losses.

Too true, then in 2017 they'll be more reasons why rates can't be raised.

I'd advise you don't rush into things David.

Yes. But then nobody would be trading 100% of the daily volume themselves would they? If you deal with a DMA broker you can only trade a CFD with what's on the bid-offer. If you deal in cash shares you can only buy/sell what's on the bid-offer. There is really no difference between a CFD...

Aggressive means trading too many options it's as simple as that. Whenever people get 'aggressive' in this game it normally always ends in tears. People, especially on Wall Street, seem to get impressed with aggressiveness but in reality it just means you're making lots of rope to hang yourself...

Your logic is very flawed. Without cash stocks there could be no CFDs. When you buy a CFD through a broker that broker will buy the cash stock so you are long the CFD and he is long the stock. CFDs therefore have as much or as little liquidity as the underlying cash stock. You also don't have...

Actually the clue was on the 30sec chart. These markets can move so damn quick these days that sometimes a 1m chart is too long so you have to look at the 30sec as well. Often the clue lies in that 30sec chart as was the case today.

Talking of ranges, there's been a nasty range for the last several hours on the DAX from about 11am UK time till 15:00. But price has just broken out. The price to buy I reckon was 9918. Try to work out why that price, why it broke out and what happened beforehand to offer any clues that a) it...

Study them and then work out how/why they break out of the chop. Many traders don't like them but others LOVE them, some of the lovers like to sell high/buy low and others specialise in trading when they break out (and that's not ususally to buy the breakout high (or sell the low) although that...

Low, no I don't have any such thing but my brother works on Hong Kong and he keeps telling me to set something up. However, doing business with spread bets helps somewhat although you've got to watch their costs.

IAm, it's fine to work in the UK and trade an offshore fund and pay no taxes (or very small) on the gains. However, if you want to bring that money back to the UK then you'll have to pay taxes on the amount bought back. If you don't pay the taxes that is tax evasion/fraud. Or you could leave...

Yep, that's him. Shocking if he is extradited, gutless UK government playing lapdog to the US government thugs. Got no real chance in Federal Court, government abuses and tricks means he'll get convicted of something unless he plea bargains. And what will be the sentence if he doesn't plea and...
