mate, short £ is the most crowded trade out there - the market's been pricing in a hung parliament for months now, and we could even see a rally on the back of a confirmation of a hung parliament....

pazazu, professional, high frequency traders devote their entire and constant attention to the markets in front of proper hardware setups. (ie, often they'll have 4 screeens minimum). to be honest, from what you've said, dabbling as an uninformed novice on a mobile phone seems like a very easy...

:thumbsdow Frankly, endlessly posting these figures with no explanation of how they are generated is of limited value. Even on his own website he makes no allusions as to how he generates his signals. The targets and stops are arbitrary 30,40,50 pips away. Having looked up some of these charts...

How do you generate your signals??????????????

what a load of nonsense this is. always be wary of these sellers, with huge webpages listing endless figures and selling you the dream with no indication of the signal's underlying dynamics. obviously it isn't in his interests to list these, but this further proves he's selling a dream, not a...

How do you generate your signals??

Hi vnchanger, I'm following what you're doing here and commend you for taking the time and effort to post your trade ideas up here. Can I ask how you generate the signals? And the stops and profit target levels seem to be arbitrary 30 or 40 pips away either side. Also, I see your cable trade...

[B]4. Prop trading is NOT a natural stepping stone into a bank. Although I know of one person who has managed it... most banks will NOT touch you once you've been in a prop trading house (rightly or wrongly). I just met up with someone at the Trader Monthly event in Harrods tonight. He was with...

These guys seem very dodgy. Their advert on efinancialcareers.com had spelling mistakes, as does their initial intro document they send you once you register an interest. They aren't at all selective, given that I was offered a place on their programme after a 2 email correspondence. They didn't...

There seems to be a lot of nonsense posted about FUTEX on this thread. I had the assessment tests with them yesterday, and felt they went well. I was impressed with the FUTEX operation, and the honesty of the FITA manager, John. They did not go for the hard sell, outlined the enormous barries to...

They're another one of these train you to trade firms. Alond with Amplify, Headway and the (allegedly bankrupt) TCA Markets. Nothing wrong with paying to learn, but they do seem like an easy option for the company in that they need not risk a penny of their capital whilst taking £3500 of yours.

Oh ye of little faith, pedro01 and jos12; they're right. I am a crude oil day-trader for the simple reason that the intra day volatility is fantastic, it churns out reliable technical signals and if you have the stomach for it, it can provide you with great profit making opportunities. I...

One of the best books I've ever read is 'Come Into My Trading Room' by Dr Alexander Elder. I know you didn't ask for advice on books, but this really is an excellent book on Trading, and helps you clarify your reasons for trading and what you hope to acheive. Best of luck, dude.

ah, a shame, I go away for a couple of months on July 23rd, though i am definitely keen to socialise with other local traders in the future, keep me posted and good luck!

Silverpuma, with respect, you seem pretty clueless. Thats perfectly understandable as a newbie. I'd recommend reading 'Come Into My Trading Room' by Dr Alexander Elder - it is the single best book on trading I have read, and will really help you. Also if you are interested in trading, you need...
