let's be careful out there... Lots of Guru's, lot's of snake oil salesmen.....

Review copy Hi I would like a free paperback if still available? Thanks

Chris, you could have a look at http://www.trade-ideas.com/ It gives realtime alerts and can be configured to give you what you are after (so they say). I've been using it for a few weeks now. They have a sort of free trial but unfortunately it doesn't give all the alerts but does give you an...

Humble input Sometime back, I joined this site. Wanted to be a daytrader. Found a snakeoil salesman on this site who was happy to take my money, I tell you, the snake oil cost me far more than the extortionate fee I paid! It took me off in the wrong direction, a bit of time to recover, lost a...
