There once was a dog, who lived over the sea, upon threads he stumbled, which filled him with glee He read all the words, and they did make sense, but then he looked deeper, and did become tense His ideas were so simple, like the words that he read, but it must be more complex, he thought...

Time I have taken From my slumber to waken And I figure your points About charts with sharp joints For when the move is made right The masses be fright But when the right move is made Then I will be paid To minimise risk I must seek the first disc Or...

As a brief warning to other noobs here such as myself: I have taken a little time this morning to read a few of Jack's previous contributions. Here is a classic example. "It is easy to see that using the YM column and anotating the chart almost completes the transition from being in the...

This thread gets curiouser and curiouser. So much so that I think I may have finally stepped through the looking glass. I can see that in order to make some decent music in the markets I’m clearly going to need to learn some new instruments. I’ve been guilty of just looking to the future...

This is the age of the internet mate. :) Google is your best friend. You'll learn far more finding the info for yourself than if I try to explain it to you.

This is the thread that just keeps giving. Have re-read the majority of it for a 2nd time and picked up on an enormous amount of stuff that I missed the first time round. Dunno what I was thinking when I presumed that NYSE was just pair trading a basket. Clearly not the case. Twas a brief...

Anyway, we digress and I know that in no way do I need to lecture NYSE on how nasty swan bites can be. I know that I still have much to learn... Perhaps it is time for us to "open" ourselves to other "interests" and move along the "path" just a little further. Is it worth us turning our...

Oh I beg to differ. I think there are probably more than 2 people reading this thread who have a fairly good idea. Indeed, pairs don't have to be pairs. With the proper use of leverage you can turn pears into apples and make a big basket of fruit. Still doesn't stop that big bad bastard of a...

Conventional VSA is indeed just that. Complete and utter shite. Anyone who has spent any time glancing over a chart with their brain in any gear other than neutral can deduce that. You only need to consider these two scenarios: 1. Sellers go bonkers for whatever reason and decide to smash...

Please, let's not permit this thread to turn into a pissing contest. There's precious little else on this site of any worth whatsoever. This is the one thread where people are actually doing some serious thinking. There is a lot of logic and value in JH's opinion. Inductive reasoning can...

Just a quick question for the birds here... Do you ever bother trying to catch the worm as it wriggles its way out the hole or only take a pop at it as it wriggles back in? Personally I'm now tempted to have a pop at it both times. After all, worms don't show themselves above ground all...

:) Like it. A hat would indeed be useful but personally I'd like to have an umbrella. Provides that bit more cover.

One final word... @nyse - Indeed. I am now aware that I must "stop" focusing on the methods I have used previously and consider all my "options". My re-education has only just begun.

@Evil - As with all these things, the devil is in the detail. You need to stop just looking at the charts and understand what the squiggly lines represent. The mechanisms of the OTC FX market are completely different to exchange traded markets. My current thinking leads me to believe that...

@nyse - Same side of the pond I see. Either that or you need to see someone about that insomnia. :) To those folks that are getting disheartened out there, I am being genuine when I say that I am a total novice. I am not a professional trader. I have a full time job in the IT industry. If I...

I came across this thread yesterday and it took me a good few hours to read it in its entirety. However, I can safely say that this is THE most useful thread I've seen posted on this website. I am a true novice, in every sense of the word, and until recently I was also one of the idiots. I...

Thanks very much. That's what I thought but my spread betting company won't allow me to place a buy limit order when the limit price is above the current price (and vice versa for sell orders). Is this a case of me having the right idea all along and my spread betting company just not...

Hi All, Please forgive me for asking a dumb question, but I'm fairly new to this game. What type of order should I use if I want to enter a trade immediately but limit the max/min price that the order can be executed at? Just as a very basic example, an instrument's spread is 100 - 101...

Totally agree. For an experienced programmer building an ATS the opportunities offered by NT are excellent. For a discretionary trader I would imagine there are better platforms available. I have to say, I'm amazed by the amount of people on this thread who are complaining about their...
