    Where has the 'Anyone taken a position at TCA' Thread gone??

    Woodhead was at Pyne originally, had one good month, then went back to his normal poor trading. TCA offered him a job as a mentor, which he took, he then 'stole' the TCA idea, failed at that with Headway and is now back at Pyne trading his own money with no backing. He literally just hits the...

    your most memerable trade?

    My mate who had just been fired (for being crap) sent me a picture message of the warehouse on fire at the Olympic site, probably a couple of years back now. I lifted a load of schatz and the news had yet to be released on the wires. Schatz started ticking lower, I started twitching then it...

    TCA Markets

    Not disputing that.... However, think how many idiots are taken on board and due to their own incompetence as a trader never have an up day and blame everyone else!? I know plenty of traders that have come and gone who lose an entire months account in one stupid session and then blame the...

    TCA Markets

Technicals and fundamentals can take you to a very decent level, but you also need to have a feel for the market and have a feel for what's...

    S&P 500, EuroStoxx 50 or German Bund

    I very much doubt that you're going to be scalping - scalping is tricky at the best of times, let alone at home on a standard broad band connection. You'll be position trading in either market you choose and not over a long time period, anything from 5 mins or less to half an hour. And for...

    Why do you not trade using news?

    I think you can trade news but only things that are unexpected, such as an ECB member dropping a clanger - you jump on the schatz. Other more run of the mill news is often priced in or leaked (ZEW and the Germans springs to mind), so it's barely worth trading it. Stick to the charts; the day...

    S&P 500, EuroStoxx 50 or German Bund

    IMO trade the Bund, more of a technical contract to trade. It has a lot about it in the sense that many other things impact upon it and thus there is a lot to learn, which is great if you're interested in it. "Bund no movement" - WOW! S&P very very choppy, especially with the stops that...
