What other good books are there on price action? Not much else comes up on an Amazon search.

Why is there no need? Are the UK markets liquid enough? They only really seeem to get busy in the final few hours before a race.

Do you use charting like CQG, need to watch for news on something like Bloomberg, or listen out to a squawk? How do you factor in company earnings, or do they not affect your strategy? For my spreads, I primarily look at overnight earnings announcements as they can cause spreads to gap overnight

Hi, Does anyone know why I can't post on the New Online Betting Forum? I wanted to ask if anyone knew how UK punters can punt the Hong Kong horse markets. That thread is very inspirational.

I use stellar. But it doesn't give very good fills.

Yes. That's what I trade. as wel as stoxx/cac and smi/ftse and a few others. There don't seem to be enough people on here discussing the spread, and there isn't too much I can contribute to discussions about trading outrights. I did my first outright bund punt and managed to take out 3 ticks...

Nice dog. Does it make a lot of fat paw errors?

Do you guys just punt the outrigts? Or spreads such as eurostoxx/dax30?

So do you tend to have working orders in all day? Or only place them when you see an opportunity about to occur? I tried placing a load of working orders into the matrix once, working various boxes manually, but got confused and went to sleep. I much prefer using an autospreader. Also, what...

Hey, Here's a challenge for any arcade traders with 10,000+ limits in the bund. You need to have a limited company for this to work too. You go long 10,000 bund before NFP. I'll go short. One of us will be a hero. The other will bust their account, but it's limited liability anyway. We'll...

I prefer to spend my evenings playing with my tank engine.

This is continuing to fascinate me. Especially as I'm looking into doing some horse trading of my own. I was wondering if you'd mind posting an equity curve chart. I don't want to see the numbers you're trading, but think it'll be interesting to watch as you smooth it out and get more...

If you want to get that precise, then just flip a coin and pray.:p I normally do NFP wearing a lucky cap. And my neighbour uses a lucky golden cat. :)

It depends on what you mean by "size". If you're an individual, then making a grand or two a day can provide an excellent living. But if you're a fund, then a grand or two is barely going to cover IT costs. If you can find a few strategies that aren't scalable individually, that doesn't mean...

Hi, My pension is with Virgin. It used to be my work pension. But I'm self employed now. Anyway, they want to charge me 1% a year. It's in a FTSE 250 tracker, and I'm 28 years old. Is there somewhere better I could move it to? Also, I have some cash in New Star Higher Income and UK Alpha...
