800 000 in 8 weeks = 200% profit needed, which if compounded runs to just under 15% per week. You can definitely do it, with luck and skill. Shooting for a million would be 13% or so, more manageable. All the best.

Hi, What's the ADSL speed to Europe / US like down thare? Thanks

I don't accept your insults, childish name calling. Did I get dates wrong? Oh, sorry, I was busy. Not everyone posts and trawls this forum so avidly. Boring.

Gimme a break......you called sell right at the bottom, market immediately reversed to close up. Nasdaq went up from 2015 to 2043 at the end, gain of 28 points... If you were honest, you'd post and say that you got this one wrong.... Cheers.

I presently pay these commisisons, round trip short term day-trading: STOXX 8 Euro FTSE 6 Pounds Bund 8 Euro and because I'm still learning the ropes, I put through 200-500 contracts a week. Later will increase this to >1000 What type of comms should I seek from my broker? Thanks.

So, are you a news feed data service? Or do you actually have a comment? Nikkei bounced off -600pts, I'd say we have a bottom. Beam it up Scotty.

what is so special about that, it's down less than 10% in this month,,,,cheers mate.

well, head down to NZ to watch the All Blacks play their home series, and stop off for a week in Fiji on the way back :cool:

You need a break :eek: ...why not head over to the World Cup in Germany for a few games?...

excellent, thanks. In the future I'd like to find out the typical volume at bid/ask, and then the range of tradeable action and compare that with IM....to see the best markets to trade.

I want to extend this thread a bit, if I may. The market I trade can take scalp/short term trades of size up to 50-100kUS$ (around 100 contracts). Not very impressive really when a trader is trying to take advantage of an edge. Which markets have good movement and can allow a day-trader to...

This is an interesting thread. Good luck to you Spike. Just wanted to ask on this point. Could other traders give their opinions on which markets could sustain large size positions being flipped through as a day-trader. (large means 200kUS$-2mill US$) [My system gives 5-10 signals a day...

let me be the first to congatulate you Lilduck, I was watching this thread and hoping you'd hit a home run. Well done.:)

Bolter-that's a very interesting idea, with caveats regarding self reliance on signals and speed (tw reverses so quickly). Maybe you would be best to do it your way using this thread and then MSN messenger, or maybe start a group using some of the traders at the futures forum. Anyway, it's a...

My reply to Bolter-I see you registered, but didn't post. Pity that you don't work with the moderators there to make improvements and additions if you see a need-since the forum I pm'd you already has 300 members from around Asia, and over the next few months some of us are making efforts to...

I sent a PM to skyer and Kiwi, hope you all enjoy the site. Bolter and dealer-look forward to reaidng your posts. :cool:

hehe, I was thinking of posting a thread about the futures forum a number of us use to discuss the Asian markets. So, I'll pm the link.....to bolter and dealer-any others interested? Please join up and make it a better and better forum.... We only ask that new members keep their...

I would also like to know which markets are the most volatile and tradeable. KOSPI (must buy options) has excellent intraday movement and volume. What we are looking for is cheap margin, half-margin tradeable, good range of movement, and good liquidity.
