Hello all, Can someone please help me with this annoying problem? Since today every time I turn my pc on I get the “windows installer” box popping up. The box just stays there no matter what I do. I have no idea why the installer box pops up as I didnt want anything to be installed. I...

Dont you mean spread more state sponsored terrorism?

Very interesting responses global and naz. I have noticed that when people do well in forex they do very well. However a lot depends on ones trading style, but by my anlyses it seems that trading using weekly charts is better on stocks than forex and its not that hard to find a sector thats...

Does anyone think that th following is true:- Swing trading is easier on stocks because you can find out the sector thats trending most (theres always something in a good trend) and just trade that. In contrast with the currency majors they dont always trend and theres only a choice of four...

Global thats the point. People will express a preference according to the one they trade most. Thats completely natural. I wonder is there someone here who regularly trades BOTH forex and stocks who can give their insight? That would be interesting to hear.

There is a thread currently running on a well known forex trading site about the merits and demerits of trading stocks versus forex. However I think that population sample is biased as a forex site is for forex traders so any responses are vulnerable to the "self selection" bias. Elitetrader...

thanks for the reply electric!

electricsavant, Isnt the reason your trading is not compicated because you are following an advisory service? Or have I got that wrong? Please explain. Thanks in advance, Andrew

thanks for the feedback "They" and "fred" !

They, I was wondering whther you could kindly recommend a good book that describes the nuts and bolts of volume profile. I understand the Dalton book "mind over markets is about market profile but its "volume profile" that I am interested in. I would be grateful for any leads you could...

Spydertrader thanks for that reply. Yes it makes sense now and I feel happier ploughing through jacks material knowing I am likely too see light at the end of the tunnel. best regards and thanks for being the main driver behind such a useful thread

Spydertrader, Thank you for that most illuminating answer. Very helpful. I wonder why jack has to make the material so inaccessible. I guess he genuinely wants to help people but not to the extent its so easy his own profitabilty is dented. That might be it (or not).

Hello Spydertrader, It looks as if you have a good grip on the hershey method? Can I ask how long it took you to learn the method and how profitable do you find this method to be? I have no idea if this method would work in a sideways or bear market. kind regards, Andrew

Hello Spydertrader, Happy New Year! I have decided I want to take a closer look at Jack Hersheys material but before starting it I expect I will need to prepare myself by doing some background reading. I know Hershey makes some reference to volume although I am not sure to what level...

Baruch, If possible could you at some point repost your strategy as it has clearly matured since the beginning of this thread, then I can easily see what stage it is at without having to read 180 pages. If you like you can also post the known weaknesses of the strategy then people can...

I agree bgp , baruch is a nice chap

Baruch, To just to be nice and clear what I am saying is that I think you could try and manage your initial profits exactly as you have been doing so far, but once you have something like say 40 or 50 pips (or whatever figure you select) then you can use my 40% rule to lock in profits. So...

Baruch, I have found that 40% is the optimum balance between locking in some gain and avoid being stopped out. Any higher than that figure and one is more likely to be stopped out. This is important as the best profits in my "opinion" are earned via riding the bigger movements. regards

Baruch, Sorry I did not illustrate that example well enough. What I am suggesting is that after you have got for example 40 pips of profit you might try to then lock in 40% of the maximal gain after that. So for instance after 40 pips of profit you move your stop loss so that 40%...
