Hi all, I have been trading forex for a while but have just started looking at US stock/index/EFT options (I know there is an options forum, but I think this is more of a stocks question!). I am interested in the concept of writing covered calls, which of course would involve owning the stock...

Hi all, Looking for some insight from some of you on here who may know more about the Asian session than I do! Currently, being from the UK, I trade during what has been established to be the "best times to trade" i.e. during London/NY. Things are going ok at the moment although I have been...

Thanks for that timsk. I'll get my teeth into that thread over the weekend! Indeed I hope things carry on along the path they have......of course, there are no guarantees, but one must have a positive outlook!!! Thanks again AC
