I have been trading the after lunch session using Interactive Brokers - currently a simulator account, in addition to Bracket Trader front end. the last couple of days I was still trading the March contract - maybe I shouldn't be - not totally sure when the contract roll-over is. Anyway an...

Hi My preferred market is FTSE, BUT working in the UK means that as I still have a day job it is difficult to find the time to trade. I was doing 8am till just before 9am, scalping on a 5 minute chart (with a difference). I like the movement - it fits my style well. Given the lack of time to...

I would just like to say that I've been trading for over an hour, and since the last 30 seconds have found Larry's course to be excellent. Just kidding - it's all tripe. Wonder how many more accounts they can setup. It's a bit like invasion of the body snatchers.

Timsk - thankyou - about time this mess was sorted out. I hope all the new members can provide lots of info for us 'in the dark' traders. Second - I wouldn't bother subscribing to Larry's service - I don't think he needs it as he has so many already. These must be the 5% of successful traders...

Wow - how many new memebers can we get?? As someone who is interested in trading, I don't think I would launch into any course without prior research and / or love for markets. Personally I am a part-time trader but joined many moons ago now. I think it is VERY odd that so many subscribed...

Interactive Brokers doesn't offer spread betting to my knowledge. And no - I haven't made any progress on this issue. Is there anyone UK based that trades through Interactive Brokers here? And has more than £10,000 profits in a year so they actually have to pay tax. Thanks,

Does anyone know of any good references to learn about Tax on futures trading. My trading is intraday, using Interactive Brokers, but I am based in the UK. Many thanks for any info.

Well my 'system' isn't rocket science, but it is based on pure price action - and it is an always in the market system - so I always have an either +ve or -ve bias. Now depending on how I trade based on that +ve or -ve bias will be how successful I am. At the end of the day I go back over the...

Andycon - true. I suppose it could be thought of a bit like tennis. There is only one tournament winner. The rest are technically losers, although probably did alright financially. If you read a book about technical tennis theory it won't necessarily make you a good tennis player, but playing...

It gets me a bit when people say that in other professions people need time to train. could you be a doctor in a few months without training? Well the main problem with this horse**** is that trading is essentially gambling. There is nothing to learn other than risk management. that's it. Now...

The sport thing is to demonstrate how competitive you are. I must admit I am not at all competitive in some aspects. I have, however, stuck with this trading lark for 13 years studying almost every day and wiping out a few accounts. Play me at chess and I couldn't give a toss.

Thanks for suggestions. I have tried the US last 1.5 hours but the volatility drops off quite considerably. It hasn't proved to work for me - that was my first choice. I also have to say my system demands a certain type of action. I need volatility, but also a market where the 'candles' don't...

I've actually come back from the NQ to the FTSE just because of the movement. My system relies on the market moving a certain way. for example it is good for the market to break, and it it retraces to not do so pass levels of large volume. The FTSE generally obeys this rule more than other...

Alright - thanks for the input. I love the dancing banana. it rules.

Nobody?
