Not too sure about Belfast. I would suspect Dublin might be the place but it will be tough. I think by nature traders keep a low profile!

I think you should spend some time reading up. Like I said, after several such books, if you are still left gagging for more info maybe stocks are for you. However, it requires patience and should not really be seen as gambling. And as shano pointed out, you do need to understand charts. There...

Paddy, I dont make a living from this but I have a very keen interest. I actually love doing it and making a living from it would be a bonus. I wrote first on this thread to try to find guys in Ireland who were doing it. Unfortunately, there were no similar replies and just a lot of squabbling...

Without willing to get involved in all this bickering, offensive posters should be removed. References to "potatoes" on this thread are downright bigotted and similar comments should not be tolerated. Back to the subject at hand. CYOF, thanks for the info you posted. It is a fair bit too...

As for my personal shares, I gather that unless I dispose of my holding for more than 30 days, I am...

Hello, Maybe somebody knows the answer to this? I have a limited company which holds a sharedealing account. Does anybody know what the CGT allowance in the UK is? I know that for private investors it is £8,800 this year. Anybody know what it is for Ltd companies? I also have one other query. I...

Will try that. Many Thanks!

Maybe somebody can help me as the help in Metastock is rubbish! I am only seeing the last 2 years of data on Metactock 8 even though I have 4 years of data. I am displaying OHLC. Anybody able to help please?

Thanks for the reply. Will check it out. I have found that sideways trading and 5/20 does not work! I have not seen the ADX/DMI before.

First posting for me on here so hello to all! Probably a silly question but im just starting! I am just new to TA having always been a fundamentals man. I have been checking out different methods for spotting possible risers. I have seen that the 5/20 MA crossover looks like a good sign and...
