I just found that banks in my native country (Sri Lanka) pay about 8-11% annual interest to their savings accounts. Thats much higher than what I'm getting in my US account so I am thinking of transfering my savings over there. Does anyone know of other countries with higher than average...

I think it would be of great value if I could use several years of data to backtest various trading systems. Or allow me to input various parameters until I stumble upon something thats works (or fits the crutch :) Is there any software that will do that for me? Thanks

Yes the 2 shorter lines are a 3, 10, 16 MACD usings SMAs. I forgot to mention that the author stressed many times you do not need to use these values. It's just what he uses but he says as long as you have "reasonably reliable" indicators of short, mid, and long term price flow you are good. But...

Hey guys, a fellow ETer recommended I buy the book "Trading Day by Day" to learn how to swing trade. It is an excellent book packed with actual trading knowledge rather than the typcial fluff you see in many books. Well the method looks very solid but I just can't seem to apply it...

I'm starting with $10,000 not $20. I don't intend to use all of it though (at least not at first) Also I don't agree with your 100 trades a year rule. Sounds like something a broker would say.

What is wrong with learning inexpensively?

Yep some might even consider me to be an in(censored) I'll be buying 20-100 shares at a time and holding for 1-6 months. No more than 5-6 orders a month

Haha, it's true too that's how I saved up my trading money (which admittedly is not a lot) THanks Spyder, MB trading is just what I'm looking for

If I open a trading account with available money to borrow (margin account) will this go on my credit report? Just wondering because I've opened one last month and will be opening another this month, I understand that opening several accounts in a short time period is pretty bad for your...

Hey guys, I was wondering what other brokers have cheap a fee structure for small orders, similar to IB but without other hidden expenses. I won't be using IB because of their $10 data fee for accounts that do less than $30 in commissions a month which I won't) Thanks

First of all this thread is for moderately successful traders or lower, because if you're making 150k+ in the market your answer is obvious.To the rest of you guys, why did you pursue stock trading (or futures or forex etc) instead of real estate? I ask this question for a few reasons: 1. It...

I do not see what is special about this fund. Performance stats for the "B" fund: 2002 1,159.77 +15.98 % 2003 1,481.19 +27.71 % 2004 1,730.29 +16.82 % 2005 1,356.00 * -21.63 % The SP500 does better than that

Well it's a long term investment (1 year+) so I don't expect to be getting in and out. I'll probably spread my money over 3-4 funds to minimize risk. What funds in particular do you suggest? Or better yet how can I find this info for myself? Thanks

True, I should have titled it something else. Out of all the low risk options out there what should I consider?

Hey guys, I'm looking for a good place to put my $8,000 in savings, must be low risk. What funds/REITs would you suggest? Thanks

Hmm some "interesting" ideas to say the least. I like Med's suggestion though, I have heard some countries have much better interest rates than US banks. There must be a reason for this. Besides not being FDIC insured are there any other risks with keeping money in a russian bank? I imagine...

Hi, I'm curious where I should keep most of my money to generate interest and be accessible if I need to withdraw some funds (doesn't have to be anything like a checking account though) It must be low risk. Any suggestions? Thanks

Thanks a lot NT :)

Hi is there any simple way to set up an MACD which uses SMAs (vs EMAs) on AMibroker? The indicator builder is a bit much for me. Thanks
