LOL. A few stocks, sometimes just DIA. Swing and scalp intraday my brother! Used to teach classical guitar. Like to chip off with my laptop around europe occasionally- me the dog and the van and trade a couple hundred DIA in MacD's for 'pocketmoney'.:)

Far from being a useless thread, I think this is fascinating ('cause I'm an idiot too). The world is full of idiots/ assholes. Absolutely nothing wrong with this. I'll admit that I'm an idiot and a bit of an asshole BUT I'm not a hypocrite, swindler, self-glorifying meglomaniac asshole (many are...

If you trade stocks and use a longer timeframe than quick scalping then using a laptop on the move is a great idea. I do this occasionally-just clear off for a few days 'cybergypsy'! I don't think the importance of a top down approach has been mentioned. I always look at what the INDU (this may...

Have to heartily agree with all the above. Also, keep your overheads as low as possible and don't try and make a decent income until your account size justifies it (stay clear of leverage). Build your confidence and have a reasonably objective set of criteria to trade from. Be patient and only...

You're one of the assholes I was talking about!:)

Well said, the UK (I speak as a former lecturer) is becoming this way. But as a lazy trader I cannot criticise too much. Maybe it's just the way society is becoming: fat and decadent, the beginning of the end?) cap'n

For example, as I write 1.2880 is a key level for eur/usd and the dow is overbought on the 10 min macci, so good chance that this support will be breached.

I'll also add, for what it's worth, that if you're trading gbp/usd, eur/usd, eur/jpy, gbp/jpy then keep an eye on the DOW and the general market sentiment. These currencies have become highly correlated to the main indexes. Looking for key levels, then waiting for a turn in the dow is a good...

I have to agree with all of you. Spunkers unite! I think men should get on with it, being perhaps individuals before they're men (I know women who have more guts than some men, so can't generalise, but if I had to, I'd say women were more risk averse, which is a prerquisite for business). Some...

Yes, come on now ladies, we're all in the sewer together, all share the same brainwashing, all love Jane Fonda. We are ALLIES and are fascinated by each other. We need to laugh in the face of adversity together, show a little 'what the fuck' mentality. We know what we are and what we have given...

IB all the way. And you could have a couple of 'punts' a month (daytrade some biggies) to ensure the 2 drawbacks don't happen. Hell, you may even get to like taking a few hundred bucks out of the market each week!:)

Well quoted, my Irish friend. I have to agree with these sentiments. Sell sterling and by a currency that has something solid behind. I am sad to say this but I cannot think of any reason to hold the damn stuff. As far as the country goes, I just go for long walks along the wonderful coastline...

Yes, it's true that the Great British nation, the one that has given the world so much art and science, is now flabby (not quite as fat as the average yank yet, but getting there) and impoverished culturally. We handed our hopes to the those who have let us down and now face the consequences of...

1. Plenty of free time with one eye on the market during quiet periods. 2. Plenty of free time outside of market hours. 3. Previous job teaching teenagers was far more stressful. Have taken a small cut in salary to enjoy more freedom and less stress.

Yes, but don't we just love being hooked!:eek:

The devil's in the detail, killer (think of the chimp!)

Just love that, you crazy bastard. As my old gran pappy used to say "a dog, a woman and a walnut tree, the more you beat them the better they be", a wise old cove if ever there was one, and such a kind and gentle man. On a serious note: woman looks to man as man looks to god, so we're all fucked.

Hey, if you can avoid a good kicking and are a masterful deployer of such techniques then I'm really pleased for you. I'm telling you that it is usually a perverse strategy for most mortals in such volatile environments. I'm sure you're far from being a pervert though, regards

Not the poor old big guys with their huge sizes again! Jeeeeeeeeesus.

That's a nice one! Let your limit fill just to watch it reverse and kick you in the nuts. Problem is we never know if it's the outer cusp of the range or the start of a run. All i'm saying is us human mortals are often too late by the time we've eyeballed the evidence. We have to anticipate by...
