Click on the Traderpaedia link at the top of the screen and have a look in there. I say this, not to be cruel, but to get you used to doing your own research FIRST before asking questions.

...might have a bit of trouble with 'scapling' tho....

Besides which, MrBad has been reading quite a few books on the different trading styles so I'm surprised he's asking this question, and in more than one forum.

Not feeling your usual helpful self, Tony?

Here you go Mr.Bad - but as others have said, do a search first, and not just on the forums. There's more information on this site than you can poke a stick at.

Dear TheBramble ,

I read few books right , but believe never read the word "Scapling" in any .

once i read an inetersting sentence that is " there is no stupid question but there is a stupid answer " , so i think every one should ask and learn and never be afraid if his question was stupid or not ,because finally he will get an answer . trading is a big world for me and am just starting .

Appreciating your reply .

Regards .

Great. Glad to hear it.

But beware too many christmas cracker anecdotes. A lot of people think they have the right to ask questions, stupid or not, and that this is an appropriate alternative for doing their own research and thinking things through. It's not. Don't get me wrong - This is a great place to ask the right questions.

But the benefit you will personally derive from squeezing the max out of what you already have before going 'outside' to get more will be directly proportional to your ability to use and respond effectively to what you will be presented with by the markets when there isn't going to be anyone else around to ask within the timeframe in which you must react.

My previous post, which may have seemed to you a little harsh, was merely the surprise I felt at you asking a question which you would not have been expected to ask had you read, and understood, all those books you mentioned you had read to in another post in another thread on this same topic.

And if you're looking for stupid answers, you've come to the right place too. The inadvertent and unintended comedy that often passes for genuinely intended serious response will leave you rocking in the aisles in due course, I am sure.

That's quite true, although a little over used at times, possibly what TheBramble wa alluding to is that trading is a very demanding profession, especially if undertaken for yourself. You will have no boss, no-one to hold your hand, the ability to research on your own will be very important. Clearly the books you have been reading throughout the last year have left something to be desired on the basics. There is a lot of information on this site for you to read.
Here's another site that will help you with definitions of simple terms such as "scalping"
