    Bloomberg terminal?

    As Jules190 said they are much of a muchness speed wise. Rarely could you tell them apart just by looking at them. You're paying for a lot more than just speedy data releases though. It isn't some magic map to free money. It'sjust a news/information source and isn't going to immediately pay...

    Learning tape reading

    No one was telling him not to do it, just giving him some good, realistic advice to help him make some important decisions afterv giving him some advice on trading from the DOM earlier. It wasn't much different from what you've just been repeating. The Wyckoff book you reccomend is indeed...

    Learning tape reading

    For a comparison it took me two years of working 10+ hours a day to really get anywhere and that wasn't because I'm stupid. So how long do you think it will take with only one hour per day with a non professional set up and other important things going on in your life?

    Learning tape reading

    Just a thought. It's unlikely you'll be profitable scalping by then anyway if you're just doing it part time from home so just suggesting you concentrate on one thing at once and give yourself a bit of spare time to enjoy your youth. Give it a go if you like, you'll only learn but don't do it to...

    Learning tape reading

    Actually, you can make millions trading with the DOM as the central focus of your attention, as you can with other styles of trading. Although you should still know what else is going on technically/ fundamentally etc to make sense of what you see. If you're going to do this you really need...

    Learning tape reading

    Watch, watch, watch for a very long time and think about what people might be up to and then you will. ;) Sorry, dcraig1, I don't mean to pick on you but this is all wrong. You obviously don't know much about what the OP is asking and so have ended up being quite misleading. As far as the...

    Would profitable traders participate in online forums?

    What were you hoping to achieve from this thread? -A number of people on here claim to be profitable. -You don't take their word for it so start a thread asking if profitable traders participate in online forums. -On your thread you are told of those that claim to be profitable here.... but...

    Full time trader corner

    Your options could be better. There is a big difference between trading full time and trading for a living. A lot more people trade full time than make a living from it.

    Proprietary & sales trader urgently WANTED

    But £150 is sod all in terms of setting up a trading firm. A legit company would just pay this themselves. But I guess a legit firm would also be using professional clearing services in the first place so would have no need for traders to open accounts with online retail brokers. Also, why hire...

    When a market gaps down, whats causes price to go up?

    If the market opens way out of line from where it should be relative to other similar markets (i.e. someone put a big order at quite a high/low price in the opening auction) then it will naturally move back in line with the other markets through a combination of people taking advantage of the...

    How much can you rely on technical analysis alone?

    Really the best way to sort the wheat from the chaff is just to think things through properly for yourself, spend a lot of time at the screens and think for yourself what seems to fit and how and why. As long as you're honest with yourself, remain open minded, independent and don't get married...

    Know your market!

    DONT USE ANY SIGNALS!!!!! They will divert your attention from where it needs to be and will slow your progress in working things out for yourself. As others have said, the only way to really get to know a market is through screen time and lots of it. It's also important that you really think...

    How much can you rely on technical analysis alone?

    GammaJamma hit the nail on the head. You need to use all the information available to you to form as full a picture as you can of what is going on and act accordingly. Using T.A. alone is like driving a car, looking at nothing but the rear view mirror. It seems to me that too many people think...
