    So you want a system that actually works?

    Hi JonnyT I'm not familiar with a couple of the terms you use, can you explain a little further. What do you mean when you say you compile hourly charts, is this on excel spreadsheet or is this on your trading platform, does this mean you only ever trade on the outbreak on the hourly bar...

    Running your own fund - FSA Regulation

    Usually, your friend would be sponsored by a firm of brokers or investment house before attempting to become authorised by the FSA. The required study courses are very rigorous and normally takes about 3 years to complete for study time, examinations (many). If time permits and he is really...

    T2W and Broadband

    Using IE seems to be very slow on this BB today, so I've been trying Opera.com as an alternative browser and it does appear to be quicker getting between threads. Sharky, have we got the new servers yet or is it just my PC or my satellite broadband giving problems, every other sites accessed...

    Dow swing trades

    Davelong & Wanderer You've said what many newbies and perhaps, not so newbies maybe thinking, but dare not rock the boat. I was wondering just how many of these, so called, experienced, full time traders actually do trade and/or make money. If they are still trading, how come they have so...

    Dow Intraday charts 08/09 12/09

    Chartman, Is there somewhere in your previous postings where you explain 'targets'. How do you arrive at T1, T2 etc? Can you run through the process if it's not explained elswhere. I've read that some people use % of movement, others use ticks (points) of movement to determine targets. More...

    Closing out?

    I do sympathize with you, I've done exactly what you did but as it happened it went in my favor. Sometimes mistakes cost you lots but I'll guarantee you'll never make the same mistake again! I still use D4F but now I only ever trade using CRB. Yes I know it costs me 4 extra point if I bet on...

    Dow Intraday charts 02/09 - 05/09

It said I did OK with 115 and described me as an 'Inventive Inquisitor', "a creative thinker and uniquely good at teaching others through experience, unusual distinction of being equally...

    Anyone heard of Stu Whisson?

    Sound like this guy's another VS! Before you decide, have a look at a guy called Hugo Lawrence's site. You might be interested to know his mathematical strategies predicted the Dow was a 'BUY' on 7th Aug @9061 and a 'SELL' @ 9454 yesterday! I'll leave you to work out the points. I did his...

    Norton Internet Security

    My thanks to everyone who posted a reply, especially Ronvald for taking time out to help. Still havn't succeeded in getting it working - according to BT satellite broadband it has something to do with their connections but they don't know what!!! Even after allowing 'permit' of all of their...

    Norton Internet Security

    Hi Guys & Gels, Having used Norton anti-virus for some years, no probs, I've just updated to the new firewall protection, cos my membership was due to run out next month, but..... I can't run CMC feed with the firewall turned on, it just stops the feed. It's even blocking symantic own updates...
