Thanks porcel for this brilliant thread. I have read this, and 'Making Money Trading' by Trader Dante, and have finally succeeded in understanding the basics of this system. I started trading with it 12 days ago and am currently 15.4% up on my starting balance.

I agree about keeping it simple. I think we can blind ourselves by learning too much about sophisticated indicators and techniques.

Interesting, thanks.

What are you betting on, and with which instrument, and what's your strategy?

Fascinating thread – a system so simple that you’d be too busy trying to think of something more complicated to notice that it’s right there staring you in the face! I’ve done some quick, visual back-testing of this on various charts and it seems to be spot-on! It’s so easy to spot once you’re...

Okay, I'll look into the ETF. Can anyone recommend a good site for buying ETFs?

Basically I want to put about £5,000 somewhere that it will increase in value at the same rate as crude oil. I've read about ETFs but I'm not keen, mainly for the following reason... http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/10_31/b4189050970461_page_5.htm

There's a rather good web site called bullionvault.com that enables people to buy and sell gold. Is there anything similar for crude oil? I'd like to buy and sell crude oil as a means of accumulating wealth, but I don't want to use spread betting or any other leveraged device as large price...

I love Pork pies but I would sooner work my way slowly through one, savouring the experience as I went, than stuff loads in to win some competition... Or is this question actually a metaphor for "how many mrptraderman posts can you read in five minutes?" :whistling

What's the best approach to take with trading? Have one system and apply it to many different things such as stocks, indices, commodities, currencies, etc., in other words, be an expert on the system and use it diligently to take profit from a variety of different markets on which you have...

I think the responses here basically reflect my own feelings. It's good to get confirmation from others though!

That's interesting. I'm using Firefox on both computers because on the G5 running Tiger the whole IG platform would freeze-up in Safari. By default I have used Firefox on the MacBook Pro running Leopard, so maybe I should try Safari on that!

Laptop1... We think alike! (Almost) I took a spread betting account balance from £400 to £1300 over the period of a few months a couple of years ago by using a very similar system on the FTSE100. The only difference, in my case, was that I would buy on the Monday if the 1st fell on a weekend...

A search brought up loads about automated systems, but it all seemed to deal with comlicated specifics rather than answer my basic question. All I want to know is... is there an automated system that's known to T2W's sensible, serious traders which they can testify works? As I said before, I'm...

I occasionally stumble across material selling automated trading systems and I was wondering... Do these systems actually work? Am I right in thinking that they do all of the trading for you - you simply put your money in and out comes regular profit? If such a thing really did exist then...
