    Pro Swing Trading

    FXAdvice - I had a look at the Forecfactory thread you referred to and I can see you're one hell of a trader, well done you have clearly mastered the market. Apart from the timeframes and references to s/r though, I notice you don't give much clue as to your decision making process, do you have...

    Hi FXAdvice, Is the intent initially to show that what you do makes Pips, then go on to share the ideas on the decision making process? Regards, Mike

    TCA remote trading

    Hi Josels, I've been a remote trader with TCA for over a year now so can give you first hand advice. I'd agree with others that day trading (or any trade that goes against you often enough) isn't an easy option and going with TCA or any other company/mentor isn't a guarantee of success. I can...

    Is it really possible to make money in this trading lark?

    No, I said my initial capital was £2000, but I have now increased that by adding a lump sum to make it £25k. It's 5% of that total sum I was referring to. There are lots of comments on these boards which refer to what is risky and what is not, but everyone (I presume) has different levels of...

    Is it really possible to make money in this trading lark?

    Hi Goshort, I actually subscribe to a website (www.poweropt.com), feed in the criteria I want (essentially I'm looking for good, large companies which are in the lower half of their yearly price range) and only ever look to the forthcoming month. I stick to a 5% max profit from selling a call...

    Is it really possible to make money in this trading lark?

    Being a regular reader, but rarely a contributor, I thought today I'd change the habit and put my views forward and invite comments from you all. I don't day trade, but I am an 'active' trader, doing very nicely to top up my income, with a view at some stage to move away from the 9-5 - but with...
