That pdf also contains some erroneous info imo. It says they give their alerts at between 15:00 and 15:30 New York time which is around 20:00 - 20:30 London time i.e after the London session which is, as most people know, the most active session. Liquidity at these times is much lower than when...

Thanks for that David. I'll have to take a look. Like many others I've been burnt in the past trying my hand at FX. Short term I believe its behaviour is pretty much a random walk interspersed by movement due to news events and banks 'doing stuff'. Personally I would have thought the...

Where did you see that Jarrad was using PTF for Forex ? Nice to see you back Jonny. I'm still bashing away in the UK and looking forward to Beta testing the new CFD exchange that Betfair are due to start next month. I'm hoping it'll allow users to input the prices they want like Betfair and...

"For those of you who know what you're doing." They are deluding themselves.....

I developed my automated systems 3 years ago and they're both doing very well thanks. I tweak the settings every few months, based on my analysis of the new data. So far I haven't had a losing month, although I do have the occasional losing week. Perhaps the investment departments are looking...

I use Tradefair, only because their spreads seem to be the tightest and also I have a long relationship with Betfair from whom I make most of my income via automated algorithms I run on a few of their inefficient sports markets. Their interface is quite clunky and aimed at the man in the street...

I haven't posted on the forum for a while but those with a memory may be able to remember that I'm based in the UK and trade pairs via my spread betting account. I tried CFD's for a while but the expenses were too high. Now that I've been doing it for a year or so, I'm looking at the...

Sure, I agree but I just wanted some input from those who are more experienced and mathematically oriented than I. I currently work in the 1 min timeframe and it seems to be working guaging the trend using my eye but with an overall 'feel' for what the underlying market may be saying. I like...

I've been successfully pairs trading for a while but my natural inclination is for a faster style of intra-day trading. I've read as much as I can in both books and forums (particularly this one) and seem to think that a combination of threads by Anekdoten, Geez and NoDoji best suit my style...

Since when is betting on black or red in roulette a 50/50 prop ? That's just the reasoning behind why so many lose......

Thanks for that. I'm trying out Prorealtime.com as it looks quite good. Just trying to encapsulate geez's patterns into some sort of indicators so I can be aware of when one of them is being formed with one of my stocks. But there's a lot to doing all this manually by eye as your eye can...

Also, what are people's opinions of best scanning software ? I know geez did it all manually and there's something to be said for that but I like to automate where possible and in this case it would seem sensible to have some software that can alert you to possible trades. Most stuff like TS...

I take it you use the same 2:1 reward/risk ratio ?

Thanks NOD and Coudy.... I know you were following him closely NOD. You still making it pay ?

BTW, has anyone done a roundup of geez's 4 main setups together with charts ? I must admit to being a little unclear as to what exactly the setups were....

Whilst our trade picking techniques are probably different I think the most valuable lesson I learned reading this excellent journal was about money management. Although I'm mainly a pair trader, I've learned a few other techniques from this forum, one of which is generally a 50/50 play...

Thanks for that. I was aware of TRO's filter but I wondered if anyone had used this or similar to trade with. Yes, one of the downsides of StockFetcher is that it doesnt handle intraday data but the concept looks good and its a lot cheaper than saddling yourself with TS, AIQ or similar apps...

Well done lescor. Anyone who makes a consistent profit over BAH is doing well. I generally trade pairs and am doing OK but have never had the account size to trade as big as you. However, my main income comes from betting on Betfair using totally automatic algorithms and must say that...
