Thank You I would like to thank everyone for your very helpful responses and information. This is exactly the kind of info that I needed. The very first post re 'mountainsolutions' looks like an ideal solution....I like the sentence on their website about it being "designed for the...

Hi, I wonder if any of you more experienced users or 'techies' can help me out with this backup query. I heard that it is possible to buy a separate device (or hard drive), which I can connect to my PC via the USB port, and by simply pushing a few keys, it will backup the PC (or laptop) in its...

Merry Xmas I would also like to thank both Chartman and Trader Tony for their daily posts and commentary. Chartman's feedback and encouragement have been invaluable for me. And Tonys' regular posts have given me the inspiration I need to continue following my dream. Thanks also to all the...

Trader Tony: Thanks for sharing your story with us. Your hard work and discipline are already showing in the results you post each day. This is also providing inspiration to the rest of us who are prepared to put in the time and effort- regardless of how long it takes. With such determination...

Finspreads offer online contingent orders....D.

BBB: I'm not upset at all - I like to hear other peoples' opinions. Besides, you never know....I might even learn something !.........debs

I thought that the SB companies made their money through the spread they charge. They would want customers to win so that they keep trading - which means more 'commission' via the spread to the SB. I also thought that some SB companies hedge their exposure. I read somewhere that one company...

Orky and DIN: - Welcome to the thread and thanks for joining us. It is good to see more people posting their trades / experiences. I am very grateful to Trader Tony for encouraging me to do this - the feedback on my posts has been very helpful. I may not get much time to watch the markets this...

I might not be around so much in future, with the pressures of work and a newborn baby I am finding it impossible to daytrade and do all the other stuff in life as well. I thought I might look at taking longer term positions on the Dow or maybe trading shares rather than indices but I would...

CM: Sorry for being dense, but can you tell me where the LHS is on the inv H&S ? Is it an upward sloping inv H&S ? I'm assuming the 'lowest point on the inv head' is 10420 and the 'lowest point on the RHS' is 10430. Is the lowest point on the LHS 10425 ? If so, I think this 'person' is a bit...

Typical ! - I had a day off today due to other commitments. But what a great day for people who got in on the right side of the market. If I had been trading, I would like to think I would have entered a long on the PB to ema at 12:14. But I think it is more likely that I would have entered a...

TT - after the frustration of the last 2 days, it is good to see you are back on form. I know you trade the futures and I follow the Dow, but the first trade looks very similar to mine. Was your exit at 10:03 or 10:15? I look forward to seeing your chart.....D.

WED 8 DEC 9:59 ENTER long at 10466 (ema-10462 sl-10442). Entered on PB to ema. 10:39 EXIT at 10483 for a gain of 17 pts. I had previously marked 10484 as a resistance area. There is always a conflict in my mind between the phrases - ‘cut your losses and let your profits run’ and ‘a profit is...

CM: Thnx for pointing this out.. At the time, I thought I was avoiding being reckless by not chasing it, but now I can see that the breakdown (thru support and '32') was very clear. kind regds, Debs

Gollum & TT: Thank you very much for your posts. It is nice to know that I'm not the only one who has disappointing days. I try to think of the lost points as the price I have to pay for my education. TUE 7 DEC 11:02 A possible short entry here – Dow has pulled back to ema and it looks like...
