    Starting to trade

    I actually bought that book a couple of years ago, was dissapointed with it being pretty basic and obvious stuff, and it's not really ''trading' trading is it; although I understand why you recommended it to me with the cr*p I wrote up top! I think at the moment I'm trying to do both the...

    Starting to trade

    Christ, I didn't realise how bad I actually sounded. Just got home last night after a few, turned the computer on, thought sh*t and fancied a whinge. Of course your right on all accounts, I've just rushed to get the cash invested somewhere instead of it just sitting there. I know I need a...

    Starting to trade

    Right, this isn't really a statement or a comment or a question, it's just a ramble. Actually it's probably more like me sitting on the couch.. Ok, apart for some spread betting forays before, I just started to trade on a 10k self select isa. I've been reading up on trading for a couple of...

    Candlesticks

    Cheers both for answering, much appreciated.. First for Vinicius, I can see on a daily time frame how open/close might have more of a meaning than usual, but when we're looking at parts of the trading day a big top shadow might mean a test and fail of a resistance in one 'partition' but you...

    Likely market reactions to war on Korean Peninsula?

    Well Fox are clearly gagging for another war, this afternoon they had a NEWS ALERT!!!!! - NORTH KOREA TRASH 50 YEAR ARMISTICE, when every other station had baby P and the football. So Fox gets excited and starts plugging everything patriotic and US; by now everyone's watching Fox anyway...

    Candlesticks

    Firstly I realise maybe this should've been placed in the technical analysis section but I thought maybe the answer would be a bit biased from there, so... I joined trade2win nearly 2 years ago, since then I've blown up a spreadbet account, sat on 10k of lloyds I'd had from a child while they...

    those guys off 'the apprentice' are awesome

    Is that that prick off of the apprentice on the futuresbetting.com advert that's on top of posts, and if it is, why would that ever be a selling point, along with that wanker off of cold feet or whatever it was going on about 'you don't think we'd leave it to you to work out for yourselves?' on...

    Is it too late for me to start a career in trading?

    I'm kind of in the same boat as you mate. Went to Imperial to do maths, didn't make the effort like I should have; got given the option to take a year out and repeat with the chance of a maximum 2.2, thought bugger this and left. The only place I found in London to take me in was Greenwich, any...

    Would I be right in thinking that I need to be working for a Eurex registered firm before applying to be registered as a trader, and would I be right in thinking I need to do this before applying for the Eurex traders exam? Cheers

    Short selling banned in UK

    Is it still possible to short through an etf or are these engineered with actual short positions? Don't quite understand how these 'short' funds converge to the actual value.... Dan

    What's the lesson?

    Sorry, reading that back it's obvious, of course I wouldn't have a problem with taking stops if they went on to lose. I sort of understand my problem here, so thankyou, I'll sleep tonight! Still curious about taking volatility into consideration with stops though...
