Well this is annoying, my previous long trade with UDG Healthcare got bought out today at 1016. I know you cant trade on hindsight, but I definitely had the wind in my sails with this one.

Thankyou tiddlywinks. I have just taken a brief look at this and it looks like a fantastic resource. I have come across his name twice now, so that's also reassuring to hear. Do you have an opinion on this one, for the record I am long at 219. If my theory is correct then this latest...

Ouch 7 losses in a row. Feeling the pain of a draw down from last week. Can anyone recommend any material on accumulation and /or distribution please? There doesn't seem to be alot out there on the subject. Ta

Tough week closed out 5 trades in a row, losing any gains I have made so far. I really need to fine tune my win/loss ratio. IG Index tells me I have a 50% win ratio. When I ran my demo account for 6 months this was running about 65%. Which was pretty good I think, hence why I'm doing this...

The power of volume, I only opened this trade yesterday in LSE: BAB because of the volume that was associated with the downwards price spike. Clearly some inside activity here as it gapped up this morning yielding a tidy profit. I closed this out for a quick £64 profit, however as I type this...

1 Loss with LSE: YCA 1 New position opened with LSE: BAB Really like the setup here with LSE: PPS, put an order in looking for a run back up to 115. Is this accumulation in the stock?

Fair one, your right. I guess I needed to vent my frustration, what I should have said was I have clearly read the price wrong on this.

Annoying loss in LSE: SBRY of -£22.05. Not 100% sure if I made the right choice closing this one out, but I would rather keep the losses small. Probably small numbers to a lot of people on here, but if I can get the strategy right, then my positions sizes will just increase along side my...

"Trade from "price alone". Every additional variable reduces your winning trades and profit opportunities. You should "recognize" the trade even before you KNOW the volume!!" I have a small issue with this for the following reason. Volume is printed alongside the price, volume is not the...

I should have trusted my instinct here, just had a quick look at LSE: MCRO and it has burst out of the gates and I didn't put an order in :( Although not on the volume you would expect on a breakout, does this mean it didn't take much buying to move it up to a new price level? I have also...

Thoughts on LSE: MCRO? Since the start of march we have declining volume from left to right, with very tight price action. Is this supply drying up as a result of accumulation? if not answers on a postcard please.

"You mentioned trade duration of between 2 days to 3 months. I'm not sure of your trading style and what and how you are going to achieve this..." That is a good point, what I have learnt from attempted to trade in the past is that I either need a higher win / loss ratio or a higher win %. What...

I think what caught my attention was the quick spike up in price on low volume, looks like an anomaly? and would this be considered a low volume test? I.e. is this a test to see if there is any supply? its an idea I have been exploring. Turns out I have actually removed that order the other day...

After carrying out my end of day screen from friday, it became clear the was a huge amount of selling in the UK market due to Covid fears. Anyone else spotted this? Is this likely to be a short term blib or a more of a prolonged turning point?

New post up on the blog, couple of orders placed. The short I am comfortable with, this one from LSE: TCM creates all sorts of uncertainty though. Completely wild price setting from the market makers, is this a tree shake to clear out the weaker holders?

I never knew anything like that existed, that's really helpful, thanks!

I would also like to add this following chart as well to showcase the power of volume against price. but before I do, I just wanted to make it very clear about when these annotations were completed. I have no reason to lie hear, I have not made this up. These annotations were entered on the day...

I would question that theory, but only because of what I have learned over the last year or so, and the may answer lie with manipulation. If you think about how a price is constructed with both buyers and sellers pushing through their orders, if its fairly balanced then the price will hardly...

Interesting, first of all can you expand on why its lagging? I know how something like MACD would be a lagging indicator, but I am curious to learn how volume lags? This is 1 out of the 2 variables I am using. Volume and price, so not a good start to my strategy if that's true lol Sean

Greetings fellow traders. I have been a long term investor in the UK markets for over 12 years with moderate success. Over that period I have read dozens of books, each one giving me a little bit more knowledge and accuracy with my investing, however my time has turned to a more shorter...
