    Reading the tape

    clearing and exchange fees

    do all brokers have to pay these and if so do some of them not pass the charges on. Some openly say about it, some dont, some swear that all you have to pay is the commission (which can be a lot less than others charge for the exchange fee alone) Any advice, definite answers be appreciated...

Over time I have noticed the indicators start...

    Momentum reversals

    with momentum reversals , after the event its easy to see , yes they have definitely reversed . But when its live , they start to reverse, then maybe the price goes up again and the momentum 'stops' reversing and the line straightens out and maybe goes up again. So if you use it as part of...
