It means -- apparently -- "the hours before dawn", which was when I used to do most of my work as a student. The email address however has outlived those days, and I now comes back to haunt me, since I am no longer a night owl ... A.

Hi Martinghoul, Rhody Trader, Many thanks for the reply and my apologies for the somewhat "out the blue" question. I like to model strategies at the weekends but the missing link is usually: "So how would you actually implement it as a trade?" I'm increasingly conscious that this is a question...

Hi advfn, I would love to trade full time, but am not as yet (writing software pays the bills a bit more consistently, although after 15 years of this I'm seriously considering a career change, as you can see) That said, it might be helpful to have a coder about to do strange and exotic things...

First off, my apologies. I don't follow this forum actively, but I would be very interested in connecting with other speculators in the UK or abroad. I currently do NOT make my day to day earnings from the markets. However, my intention is to do so. I appreciate that this is very hard, but I...

Hi, Please forgive in advance my naivette -- I am not au fait with options, but I would much appreciate an answer to a pressing question, which is simply this: "If I felt bullish on the general stock market over the next 2 months, what would be the most aggressive strategy I could possibly...

I am based in Edinburgh and would potentially be interested in sharing facilities with you. I also work in Glasgow, and could consider that location as a base. Let's get in touch and discuss requirements. All the best, Alex

Thanks Amit, Tomorrow evening is fine by me if it suits you! Otherwise, as I said, I have the week off in Edinburgh, but will be back in London 26th October, and generally be in London Tuesday - Thursday every week for the forseeable future.

Apologies - cannot make Cloisters today Amit, I'm really sorry, I won't be able to make today. I do apologise for messing you around -- recently I've been asked to work Saturdays too, and for some reason I'd convinced myself I had booked our meet up for a Sunday. As a result, I'll still be...

18th it is then. Will be there. Any others who can make it, most welcome. Just to fix things (for a start), let's say Cloisters Bar on Melville Drive, 4pm 18th October. They've got good Ales on tap, and there are plenty of eating places around Tollcross (a few minutes walk away).

Thanks Amit, My day-life is IT contracting in London; I usually only get back to Edinburgh fortnightly, and almost never get as far as Glasgow (haven't been there since 2004; family are all based here). Let's see what we can do ... You make it to Auld Reekie, and I'll buy the drinks? Cloisters...

Thanks for the invite -- sorry, I've been a bit remiss here and only just logged in and realised you guys were meeting up ... and I've missed it. I'd love to come along ... to the next one! I'm in Edinburgh 5th Oct then 18th-26th Oct. If anyone can manage/would be interested in a meet up/drink...

This is going to sound really silly but ... I still don't know what's wrong. I've been using Interactive Brokers TWS (demo version) to paper trade the YM. I started doing this mid February. I didn't look at any other contracts, and I was just convincing myself I had started to get the hang of...

Metastock EOD Hi tsuntzu, did you sell this yet? If not, I'll buy it now, no quibbles. I also think I probably want the Intraday version, but I want to play around with Metastock first; so a budget deal on the EOD version is just perfect. I'll check the board, but here's my (spam-proofed) email...
