yea man. 21 yrs old... she's got pleeenty of room to grow. FXCM should a hard knock experince :) entry level...

ok, MA is also price value, but when you look at the right edge of the chart why would an averaged value be of any help... Moreover, an average of x periods, where x is set by you .... ? i would probably do fine reading the tape but i'd still have to draw price action on a piece of paper...

i don't think the cat is either black or white... it's more like cat vs cat without a leg :D

a chart and the tape are pretty much the same thing because both things output PRICE as a value. any other study outputs an INTEGER/BOOLEAN OP/etc. which is not price.... think about it...

i use charts and i don't think a chart is an indicator (and i wouldn't want to go into semantics). a chart with only price shows the history of price over a period of time. that's it. it's the most basic level of visualizing where price action was right up to the present moment. an...

ok, i won't argue anymore, but you should try driving and looking at the speedometer all the time, see where it gets you. I hope you see the trees, people, other cars, etc my own personal opinion is that indicators are developed by people out of fear or prejudice, and that keeps them from...

MAESTRO, When driving a car you don't keep your eyes on the speedometer... It's pretty dangerous. You need to pay attention to other things...

how weird, needing an indicator and all this science for something that the eye can see pretty clear and the brain can interpret almost without flaw.... hm.. makes you wonder.

you don't unless you are a momentum trader by default case in which if you stick to your trade long enough, you get most of the move.... however momentum traders get whipsawed a lot. when the move is unfolding you never know when it's going to top out so buying at the top seems a bit...

oh. i see :))

stock_trad3r: and how exactly did you dump everything in the morning? and how did you buy your shares and at what price? I am curious.....

however, the long term is something pretty vaguely defined. we need to know a clear timeframe. If we're talking about 10 yrs, many IPOs are a great investment vehicle.. however, in the nearer term, 3 yrs say, i don't see V very far. i don't want to say it's going down, but considering the...

all i can say when reading the IPO news and looking at the number is: VISA is also in trouble and it knows it and it's trying to protect against future econ outlook.

great to see some other people have this problem with watching too much stuff.... thanks for all your replies. still waiting for counter-arguments, though.

oil over 110... but that's why they invented the Core CPI :) so we can have more to discuss and argue about... :) lol anyways, don't focus too much on CPI bcoz there's the consumer confidence and then Beeks speaking.... so... i'd go for a walk today... better for blood pressure. it's not...

a strategy that would work but played on a short term until it can be held (extended) is to short volatility.

mokwit dead on the money. my 2 cents too. goldman want to dump in a rally. simple. there's going to be (if not already happening) an exhaustion spike and then, all hell breaks loose.

thanks for clearing up the confusion there champ. hey, no talking about charting here. there's a charting section or thread or something. even PMs work :)

i haven't said that you should do your charting manually, i was only expressing my worry that not enough traders manage to escape the rat race and get in touch with them, with silence, with void that needs to be filled, recharge while working, etc.... to a newbie these things seem like they have...

the thread has gone off rail. champion: i am not sure if you were talking about certain people posting on the thread or not. i will reiterate, since this thread is in the psychology section. too much information clogs up the thinking process and tires the hell out of you. it's pretty...
