4 times as many losers as winners and 20+ losers in a row makes it difficult to follow. Results don't include slippage or commissions. If you were spreadbetting this, a 10 point bias/slippage/spread would drastically cut profits The spreadsheet results took into account gaps (I saved their...

I have attached some results (all trades, sample equity curve and metrics) from testing out the popularSignalwatch DOW daily commentary from www.signalwatch.com for the period July 2002 - June 2003. Brief summary: Overall Performance (26/7/02 - 30/6/03) Net Points...

Is there a general day trading thread on t2w like those on ADVFN or MoneyAM? Not something specific like Chartman discussing the DOW for example, but more general e.g. European stocks, US stocks/indices, currencies, commodities etc. that runs each and every day here.

What is this 25p fins charge? (I am using d4f) Just a few questions about fins: What are the spreads like on US daily/rolling cash? Is the minimum bet 1p for everyone? I have read that it's only 1pp for the first 8 weeks then the minimum bet goes up to 50pp Thanks.
