I have to strongly disagree with that advice. Fundamentals and technicals are often in conflict depending upon what you are looking at. I think you'll find that if you have a knack for picking out the right information, having a confluence of both only increases the probability of traders.

because they deal with methods that every single charting platform has these days.

I personally find that candles improve my timing and patience substantially. I have congested bars, regular bars, and candlesticks for each chart I monitor. They are particularly useful for swing trading, at least from my experience.

Seems like most of the discussion here is in stocks. I'd like to add that 2009 was another great idea for trend following in the futures and currency markets. A simply strategy such as go long Crude Oil into June, then long Gold from July into December would have paid off handsomely.

It entirely depends upon how you want to trade, and what you want to trade. I can't help you with regards to stock picks but I can recommend one book which I'm adamant is great - http://www.amazon.com/How-Make-Money-Stocks-Winning/dp/0071614133/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1263819333&sr=8-1...

Why would you publicize your trading record?

first of all, forget about "investopedia". its rubbish secondly, you seem more like an investor in stocks, rather than a trader. you should thus have a look at some books by "Jim Rogers". he is a great mind when it comes to investing. apart from that I couldn't recommend any others as i dont...

To the contrary, you are young so should be out there making the most of your age. You are never going to get back your late teens and early 20s, and they are the best years of your life.

When it comes to your state of mind, there are two ways that I've found you can alter your habits. The first is through practice and time, which allows you to build stronger and more positive habits over the previous ones. The other, and one that is not so commonly acknowledged is through...

How can you trade successfully based upon something that is false?

Just wondering what you guys do about looking at longer term futures charts..eg... soybeans weekly chart back to 1990? I spoke to IB yesterday and they said they don't offer a continuous contract, and even still only offer 5 years of data.

They only offer 5 years of intraday data?

Can someone recommend a firm that provides more than the usual 120/150 days of intraday data for futures contracts, and also has a wealth of EOD data (decades)? I was thinking of eSignal, but they only offer 120 days intraday, although quite a nice amount of EOD data. Any thoughts about...

I don't discuss trades or methodology on public forums. But, as an example - the fall in the Pound Sterling to the 1.3500 level coincides rather ideally with a LTD 1. For those of you who have your LTD's posted on the gbpusd over the past half century will note that the start of the 7000 point...

Right... Okay Then. Could it perhaps be slightly possible that you either didn't "see" how Delta fit into the market rhythm, or didn't put in the work necessary to apply it and improve your strategy?

That's nonsense. That's just like saying Elliott wave/neowave is subjective. If you begin to feel the rhythm of the waves, bet prudentially, and trade it using other tools as confluence, it becomes a lot less "subjective". Delta is phenomenal, but it seems like I don't know the full story - if...

I've sent you a PM. How do you know this? So you forked out the $10k and are a director?

Are you a subscriber?

No, I have never met anyone in the Delta Society. Yes, it does work well, but as with any technical tool needs to be used creatively and with proper risk management.

Okay, for starters, you can't even trade much with $5000US, let alone $1000US, except some dodgy forex minilots and CFD's. You really can't prudentially buy/sell any futures contracts, without taking on too much risk. Sure it's POSSIBLE to build up an account from $5000US if you get a good run...
