TheBramble, True enough, I am aware of betting exchanges in the same way I'm aware of nuclear power, I know it's there but not how it works. I will certainly be investigating it further. One other point on Selecta7, it's a system which should work every racing day, but in practice, and the way...

pthorpe, Selecta7 is a standalone program which does not require any regular support. They will still answer questions when asked. As a way to make money it does go thru losing spells because of the way it works. Over the long term it makes a little profit. It's not a get rich quick, its small...

Hi pthorpe, yes the trades on the website are accurate. You are also dependant upon them staying in business to keep the data feed. Version 1 of the software was a lot harder to operate but did have the advantage of you being able to update the data external to the program. I'm personally not...

Hi, I've read a lot over the last year regarding Goldline and kept quiet. I purchased the system 18 months ago. Why? because I was using their horse racing program and making a small profit (£100/month approx) and was offered it cheap. Like a lot of people I've always been interested in looking...

I hope this is Finspreads, if you go to www.easy2spreadbet.com and enter your Finspreads user Id and password, Lo and Behold the Finspreads User Area appears!!!! Presumably this means to trade spot currencies online you need a separate account with easy2 as well as the account with Finspreads...

JT, I don't think anyone is disagreeing with your proposition, it's just not the way SB comapanies operate and therefore they should only be used in the correct way, ie holding positions for medium/long term, not day trading. It's unfortunate that a lot of people seem drawn into trading via...

It makes you wonder why we put any business their way! A lot of the indices and commodities went phone only for periods today.

As a means to seperate when the market is trending or moving sideways, I like Welles Wilders indicators, directional movement. In one system test I want to limit trades to trending markets and have the following buy signal (ADX(14)>25) and (Ref(ADX(14) ,-1 )>25) and (Ref(ADX(14) ,-2 )>25) and...

Classical Dow Theory always looked for confirmation between Industrials and transport. Both confirmation signals and divergance signals are important. If you follow classical Dow Theory! BGold is correct in that these cannot be ignored because theirs no telling how many trading Bots are...

If you want to get a feel for Joe Ross, then why not sign up for his free trading seminar, e-mailled in about 30 monthly parts. I've recieved three so far, totally free and interesting. Whilst I would not currently pay over £1000 to see him, that opinion might change by the time I get further...

Never read the book, its based on several ideas gleaned from bulletin boards and joined together.

David, Thanks for the reply. I am probably guilty of not looking at charts over a long enough time frame. Frequently I find that good looking trades from daily charts look less appealing on weekly charts. Must learn to also look at monthly. Last July I went for a job interview assessment day...

gbr, This is the sort of thread which will soon be full of alsorts of witty! remarks, so given that, I will attempt a serious answer first. You need to actually trade for a while and think, what would make this easier/more convenient. From my own perspective, I have a simple daytrading...

al. The only comment on forex, which I have to admit I have day traded using Finspreads, is that you need a volatile market. If you run TSimLite to give live IB prices (assumming you don't have an IB account) and also display the sb prices, you find they swing wildly around the IB price and...

DaveT, slightly off topic, but how did you discover the apparent correlation between copper and sugar? was it just lots of research/trial & error? Do you know the differance between sugar #5 and #11. These are both quoted on Finspreads for us sb'ers. Thanks Stephen
