aye thanks for pointing that out. i think no one can disagree that systems are difficult, else we'll have seen more chatter and interest than talk about head and shoulders or whatever. i think i was just a bit angsty the other night. :lol:
I think I'm asking in the wrong place... oh well.
anyway, it's hard to say which is cheaper for your question. I'll probably go with futures given that for spread and interest on rollover it's going to cut less deeper than interbank. that valid?
Seriously, this thread is as alive as a dead fish. Can someone tell me where to go for some lively serious discussion about systems trading, instead of questions all day long that go like 'Can mechanical trading make $$$$$?!?!?!'
:yawn::frown:
erm, well I have one time... was bored in town waiting for a friend. I really can't imagine how anyone used those things but I now recall the power of supply and demand, now you mentioned it... :lol:
maybe we should rack our brains on how to make mechanical sex rather than trading... i suspect...
haha, i don't think we can all be too old-fashioned. letting some circuits and electricity take over totally is just wack... i still want to be involved no matter what. can you imagine if we had automated sex? :lol:
And they say in poker, there's more money to be made in a room full of weak hands than strong ones... thank goodness we live in markets without a shortage of these rooms :lol:
Weren't they running some adverts on here some time back? Anyway, I used to be one of their clients, nothing 'award-winning' about their platform, just plain ol' vanilla.
There're quite a lot of good books you can start with, depending on your background. Generally most books that touch on trading in general will apply for CFDs as well. If you're totally new, you might also want to pick a book that covers more than just trading methods and analysis to include...
