New Thread Just posting a link to a new thread I started on this topic... time on my hands.. so anyone subscribed members will notice.. http://www.trade2win.com/boards/showthread.php?p=175238#post175238

I thought I would start a new thread on Market Neutral Swing Trading... the thread I started last year turned out pretty interesting and I was wondering how any others were getting on with it in their various ways. For myself I am only really interested in the swing trading element of the...

My wife actually handled it and she is away right now but I think it was originally the ICC bank and later the Bank of Ireland.. dont recall too much trouble with it.. cost was around 30 euro or so but I will ask her and post if any of the above is wrong

I do John... I use wire transfer which is the quickest and easiest, does not cost too much and usually is there within one working day, maybe two.

Wireless Broadband Just an update on broadband access over here.. we are very nearly connected now to a local group data scheme wireless broadband service! Fortunately there were enough like minded people in my local village to set up one of these new group schemes that are govt assisted and...

Deal4free get a lot of stick here and that is understandable as many have commented.. but I still use em, albeit it in a strictly limited fashion.. I only ever have used the cfd's so know nothing of spreadbetting which does not interest me.. I agree that their requote system is definitely...

Not likely Hugh.. if only! lol They are rolling it out at the speed of a slow slug and now available in several cities, altho not even all of galway yet which is plain nuts.. more broadband in malaya than ireland.. I am informed by eircom engineers also, that despite their claims, eircom...

Its good to read of the various approaches to this strategy, its definitely clear that there are numerous ways to tackle it and great to hear peoples thoughts on the topic.. I may have said this earlier, but anyway, one thing I have noticed is that as my confidence and success in my own...

Thanks BBB, I shall certainy keep that in mind... while I am pretty happy with progress thus far and familiar with dealing in us stocks I am always interested in other approaches which may work better or could be switched to at a later date if this stall at some point.. so grateful for the...

Bramble.. you make some perfectly valid points about time frame, but for me its my 'perception' that matters.. it may well be all of a muchness in reality.. but my perception of the shorter time frames is that the noise level is higher.. such as, it may well be perfectly fine to look at ma's on...

The way I am looking at it is really not possible to backtest.. way too complex and amorphous.. I looked into the corellation method of finding pairs.. and can see how there may be value in it.. but for now I am relying on basic ta to select stocks.. in my case pullbacks to trend...

Can't say I agree with that at all bramble... there sure is a difference between 1hr and 1 week.. in many ways.. Also the point is how do you hold say 10 pairs over a few hours? Why would you want to you might ask.. but that again is the point in a market neutral strategy of the type I am...

Any other traders using market neutral for portfolio trading? I do not mean intra day pairs, but holding multiple pairs in a portfolio for days or weeks or months, and dollar neutral with sector based pairs.. If not sure what I mean there are other threads here concerning market neutral.. do a...
