O.K. so for a relative newbie with (let us assume) good money management, r/r, good discipline and mindset as well as an edge, is it realistic to expect to make say 1% per week or 4% per month on your account if day/swing trading? Thanks

I'm also interested in this setup. Please forgive my ignorance but am I correct in thinking an 'arcade' is simply a venue where you trade your own funds, the benefit over home trading being that you integrate with other traders and have a superior connection? I ask because I am very close to...

Hi I have had a modest sum (£5k) in my ISA for circa 24 months. This year I'll be adding the full £10680 allowance and adding a further £10k to a regular dealing account giving me a total of circa £20k to invest. I've done my research on the equities I'm looking to invest in but my concern is...

Hi I am looking for a bit of guidance on which software package to use for day trading. I am a relative newcomer to the markets but I have recently been enjoying some success with a simple system and as I am soon to be made redundant I am planning on taking my trading up a gear. My strategy...
