    "Flux Capacitor" indicator

    I cannot speak to the comments about online marketing, vitamins, etc. I have the software, I've seen many of the company's videos in their Training archive and I believe that they put in a lot of effort into Trader education. They recently did a 6 part webinar series on creating a trading plan...

    Trading systems

    I have experience with MTPredictor and I think it's a fine system. I believe that there are many systems out there and it is up to you to find the approach to the markets that makes sense to you as an individual. That is the central lesson from Jack Schwager's famous book 'Market Wizards'...

It happens Monday, Wednesday and Friday, 3.30pm - 4.30pm UK time, 9.30-10.30am EST. Each session reviews how the markets have...

    STA Diploma

    I did the STA course about 7 years ago. The revision day was a great help because it is essentially a full day's worth of consultancy on being a better analyst. The tutors throughout the course are specialists in their field and able to answer any questions you have for them. As to adding value...

    Sticky Introduce Yourself

    In the book 'Market Wizards' Jack Schwager asks an important question "What makes people successful in the markets?". He interviewed many of the greatest traders and investors around during the 80's and 90's and came to a conclusion. They all used systems that made sense to them on a personal...

    Sticky Introduce Yourself

    I know nothing about the course or software but that looks like a good introduction. I guess that the best way to start would be understand that you cannot control the market, you can only control yourself. This is my take on the big picture of trading and investing. It took me a long time to...

Van's site - Trading Education. Van is a coach of traders so his work extends into psychological development and...

    Spread betting and Personal Income Tax

    This thread illustrates one of the aspects of the Internet and forums such as this, you can find multiple locations that will declare contradictory positions with an air of certainty. While Wikipedia and the like are fine for general reference they are not so useful if you want the information...

    Spread betting and Personal Income Tax

    Melissa, Looking at the first question on that page it suggests that it is possible to be in a position where you could pay income tax on betting (spread, binary, etc). I think a hypothetical example would be useful to imagine a scenario where this could happen. If there was a person who in a...

    Spread betting and Personal Income Tax

    I think your point about means of income or 'job' may be a key point. I found another website with commentary on this topic So is Spread Betting really tax-free?. This points out a number of different scenarios where tax may or may not be payable. From a philosophical viewpoint it does seem...

    Spread betting and Personal Income Tax

    Jon, It appears that a distinction can be drawn between the betting by an individual just for themselves and the same practice but for the intention of offering it to other people i.e. better vs bookmaker/tipster etc. I am not a trader, as of yet, but I have been studying its practice. I...
