Investor's business daily. I think this is based on the CANSLIM entries. You probably think you're making 10-15% on almost every trade, but that could be just your selection bias. I suggest you review the charts/prices for each of your previous trades and if you can see an edge which lasts a...

A few pointers Firstly, Michael Covel's books may be an interesting read, but I'm sure there's nothing in his expensive courses which can't be found for free online. I've never met anyone who has been pleased with these types of purchases, nor with those seminars. I wouldn't go as far as to...

www.quantshare.com is in beta testing and so is currently free. I've just downloaded it so haven't played with it yet but it looks intersting. Appears to have portfolio backtesting too...

A bit mean. A non-native English speaker perhaps? ;) I like your site anyway. It's worth a bump - some useful resources without being nagged to buy something. I'll print out the list and definitely work through it. I seem to be endlessly preparing to not trade these days though :yawn: cheers

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm working through the essentials of trading journals. i suppose I have quite a few loose ends to fix. One problem I have is with equity curves. My tested curves look awful. Lots of big drawdowns and years of treading water followed by a few spectacular years. The...

Could you post a link to that study? I did something similar myself a while ago but with less markets.

I've been successfully actively managing my retirement account for a few years now using a long-term trend following strategy I developed myself. I gauge my success by both religiously keeping to my plan and returning acceptable results - although it is a very basic strategy since it's tax-free...

You could try prorealtime.com It's free EOD, has backtest, screening, paper trading and other useful modules. I've been using it a few years and find it has more than everything I need.

I live in Seoul, and there's been so much shame and news coverage regarding the Korean gunman. Koreans think of themselves as one big group and they are taking all this very personally - as if the gunman were their own son.

Thanks for the useful link. I need to trawl through those functions to teach myself to use excel better.

I wonder what happens next? http://www.speculativebubble.com/

I understand that when you hold a stock CFD, you are typically paid 90% of the dividend for a long position, and you pay 100% of the dividend for a short position. I also understand you don't take part in any dividend payments when you hold a spreadbet - so how does this affect your trading...

I like Sharecope's data mining as a tool to look for fundamental/technical setups before investigating a share further. I'd like to be able to run data mining filters up to specific points in the past. For example - how can I run a data mining screen for data upto 4th Decmeber 2006, or any...

Many people's trend following systems trade the futures markets, sometimes also the stock index futures. Why don't many people seem to trend follow individual equities? Is it because they are more likely to trend for short times or trade in ranges? The very long term trend for equities (as a...

Can someone please comment on some issues I have regarding self-select ISAs. I'm particularly interested in ishares ETFs Can someone please help me with some of these questions? I've had all sorts of confusing emails from various brokers. -Are all ETFs free of stamp duty in the UK? -Are...
