    So I've "invented" an indicator

    Is it price/volume/sentiment/order flow/astrologically derived ? John Bollinger was interviewed in Traders UK magazine this year(largely institutional mag) and he said he saw no point in making it a secret so his bands were an open book from day 1. Donno about tagging a name like...

    Who's Chasing Copper At Nosebleed Levels?

    Traders are a funny lot, you get something that yields to your trading styles or systems you complain, get something that chops you and generates commissions only, you complain again. You fellas think too much just enter the F*&king trades and ride along . I suppose you have never heard of...

    Any good book on COT?

    I fear Mr Upperman's discourse on the subject has a rather instructive and arrogant approach which for most traders being self-starters proves & ends up being counter productive and results in highly selective reading. Additionally about 95% of the material contained within his treatise is aimed...

    Do you have the 'make money' gene? How about the 'keep the money'?

    Beg to differ my dear chap, having never ever played poker, l joined a couple of open tournaments in London and managed to come in top 3 five times. All l did was just use aggressive anti-martingale MM. I clearly remember constantly referring to the guide charts as l did not even know what a...

    Trading is simple

    Yes all applies to day trading ! But you would be the greatest fool around if you were to ever enter a longish term position on Soybeans or say Sugar #11 Contract without any knowledge of underlying fundamentals. I am quite sure for stocks and equity indices you might be pardoned once in a while...

    Less than 20% fall in home prices will destroy the banking system?

    Apparently here in London its reasonable to buy a sh!++y studio flat for £170000 because we are going to have the Olympics ( a 2 week event) so prices are a bargain........ Quite a few RE agents have reported most sales going into sealed bids, where buyers try to outbid each other for a...

    *** My Trading Plan ***

    My overall impression of this thread is not about the method or what has happened, but the fact that most of us here started trading with less than 4 lines of of text on a sheet of paper, blew everything, then came back again. Lets be honest and have a show hands folks ? There are institutions...

    If you had the stock market Holy Grail?

    Poll results speak for themselves, but why do pikers (both institutional & retail) and "non-trader gurus" continue.....?? Most of us here would not even tell our spouses if we found the "Holy Grail" let alone sell it for £200, or even run the risk of trading it as a hedge fund and having your...

    Anyone else wondering about the yen carry trades?
