Sticky Introduce Yourself

Hi, I am a full-time trader who started my career in 2009.
I feel that counting elliott wave is sometimes very puzzling. If we use the 15 minutes time frame, i get one result. if 60 minutes time frame is used,i get another result.
is there a "best time frame" in reading the candlesticks? if YES, what can the best time frame for an overnight trader(overnight trader means buy the stocks today and sell it the second day)?

Thanks for your suggestion!
 
Hi guys, im a value investor who has recently had his interest piqued in trading after reading Dr. Alexander Elder's books.

Got 75% of my portfolio in a few long term value stocks, mid caps, ftse 100s, small caps, everything apart from aims. have returned a decent amount, sold a losing position recently which freed up roughly 20% cash to play with, and decided would have a go at trading.

As yet i have only made one trade, which was a speculation in silver prices (leveraged silver etfs), got in around $44, missed the boat at $50 only to watch the price fall, fortunately i bit the bullet and sold at $43.50 so not a big blow. I know this was not a clever trade, just a bit of a gamble.

Was going to have another stab at silver, expecting it to make a smaller second peak and then bear for a few months till winter, anyhoo, got kind of busy and was spooked by the fact that Halifax dont provide any kind of stop loss on leveraged silver etf, and i wouldn't be able to be at the screen to watch it. Was supremely tempted but didn't give in, guess ill miss this rise. The volatility scared me.

As yet that's the only entry in my trading journal. I am not certain of what vehicle to use to trade, the only one that appeals to me is dma cfd, however i have not found a truly dma cfd broker yet.

Hoping to learn a lot from you guys. SI, bye.

Hey everyone, I'm new. I'm basically here to find more information on certain brokers and mainly their charting platforms as I attempt to broaden my horizons in the search for one that fits me the best.

I currently use NinjaTrader and ThinkorSwim, but am open to peoples thoughts on both (mostly cons that I haven't realized are a con) and comparisons to others.

Also, after some research, I've decided I'd like to learn more about "CQG Trader", "Rithmic Trader", "TradeMaven", "Multicharts", and "Vision QST".

Please reply/email me if you have any thoughts/information on anything I've just listed.

Much Thanks,

HuskyTrader

Hello Everyone, I am brand new to all of this.
After 25 years in property, my portfolio and all of it's equity has now disappeared - thanks to conditions not seen by anyone in my working lifetime or anyone I have known from previous generations ( and the senior partner of one of my previous firm's qualified in 1925).
The first step in my next 25 year journey starts by joining you all here.
I would like to thank everyone in advance for the knowledge, patience and guidance you pass on to me. In return I am more than willing to answer any property related questions. Thank you all.

its great to see someone have the fight and spirit to pick themselves up after a knock, a character trait that would come in handy trading.

Hi Everyone,
I have been trading forex with DBFX for the last two years. I trade off the daily interval bars and their daily chart time ended at London close. DBFX forex division was sold to Gain Capital (Forex.com). I would like to find a forex broker whose data feed time stamp on the daily bar chart is at the London close.

Thanks for your help,
Troy
 
Hello everyone,
I'm new to this site and forex. Planing to start with forex and I ran in to this site searching for information about it. Now what I read in here really is informative and useful. Hopping that I could start soon to trade. But now when learning I want to find good platform to trade too. MT4/5 seems now to be quite difficult, but I can't find in it where I could trade commodities.

Hopping that I will get know people in here and learn a lot about forex
