Run a stock screen such as Zacs & AAII in the US or Sharelockholmes & Stockopedia in the UK (there's are loads out there). There are plenty of standard filters including high yielders on all those sites but better still is to build your own filter around your prefered criteria. My preference is...

I think a lot of people would also do well to consider analysing the risk adjusted return of a strategy. The highest average absolute return may present very large drawdowns as well as the number of losing years. One needs to consider researching the use of Sharp Ratio's and standard deviation...

I've read a lot of investment & trading books by Graham, O'Shaughnessy, Greenblatt, Zweig, Piotroski, et al. Its a shame that Templeton didn't write a good trading book towards the end of his life. Essentially all the books make sense and adopt fairly simple strategies but its often not that...

Best of luck to you Ken. I don't know your personal situation but I think trading after retirement raises its own issues. The problen is that when you're young if your account gets wiped out you go find a job and save up for another trading pot. Once you are retired its not so easy. They say...

Hi guys, I am a consistantly profitable futures trader. I don't use systems, attend courses or seminars and I don't have a website, mentor or sell anything. I just trade as my sole means of income. I personaaly think 2% risk (as in stop loss pips x stake) of capital per trade is to high for...

I believe the underlying problem to hestitation is lack of commitment to discipline. To be disciplined one needs to elinimate fear and excitement. One way to do that is to eliminate winning and losing (both trades and money) from your mind. I found a useful exercise after back testing my...

Bagesh .... I regularly follow this thread but have never posted on it before. I do trade successfully and promise you I have no connection with WS. He has never heared of me. If you google Taiwan stock exchange day traders you will find a document of research carried out by the University of...

Grimesd Hi All, I've read through most of this thread and found it quite interesting. It has left me wondering how many of you guy make the 50pips or more a day consistently? I don't hear anyone here talk about their losing days, which must happen, and what are your average number of trades per...

I know fundamentals are not our thingy but just wanted to point out that USD index and Gold are both on a rising trend together. The first time since 1982. OK enough said... back to the charts.

Rollingstone .... that reminds me of Larry Hite in "Market Wizards". He never risks more than 1% of his capital on any one trade, so he doesn't ever have to worry about the consequences of a losing trade and always sleeps at night. The 1% is the risk not the stake, so the value from his entry...

Emotions are a double edged sword. You need them to excite you with an optimism to take a trade with an expectation of winning or making a profit. When your trade moves into losing territory negative emotions start to build up to varying degrees and cast doubt on your ability to trade...

Dan .... what a great thread. I have just read through 542 posts and have seldom seen so much enthusiasm and lack of negetivity. I have been trading a similar set up for just over a year with the same moving averages but with different CCI settings and timeframes yet still doing very well. My...
