Right you are nine, I rarely bring out this chestnut for trading these days despite it being a nicely profitable system in itself. I trade of price alone these days, with more success, but thanks for keeping things open :)

Other ... as I trade currencies primarily, use a broker such as Oanda who allow trade sizes of any order, trade the same system and adjust the trade size accordingly. Let the "winning system" prove its worth and add to your capital at the same time. (sounds good in theory)

1) Check out http://www.mataf.net/en/analysis-correlation_MarketVsMarket.htm to see the correlation between pairs, you'll see at the moment, the hourly correlation is actually very low, but the daily is somewhat higher. 2) Don't forget the spikes just before the announcements as well, they are...

I've own both of those in the last couple of years and have to say they are neck and neck, the Toshiba is what I am currently typing this on and I have bashed it to death with it still going strong, but then again my wife still uses my old Dell and it is still going strong as well. Might come...

Thumbs up to you if you have the record you say, seems to me the solution to your exit strategy perhaps is not in what indicator or technique to use, but rather developing the ability to understand the market as you say you do to your exits just as you do to your entries, i.e. mental rather than...

There is some truth in that wasp for last week, however how is a trader to know that a cross is going to have a huge week like the NZD did, in terms of consistency in movement week after week, you can't go past the majors on yearly historical basis, hence why traders gravitate to them.

I think the answer is two-fold; 1. All the majors are against/with the USD, so if you trade all the majors, you are not really diversifying at all most of the time, the USD tends to be the dominant currency in the partnership, so if one goes down, then the other goes up and vise-versa, the...

I trade CFD's with the Aussie arm of IGMarkets, I believe they are a UK company, at least listed on the exchange there anyway, I think they have 0.1% commisions, they have a newer browser based charting package which is better than it was and have Level 2 available if that is your thing (it...

Hi Gavin, Firstly sorry to hear about your friend, it is shocking news for all concerned I'm sure. I am in a great position to comment on this one as I have just finished (literally a week ago), the last of chemotherapy treatments for a cancer called Burkitts Lymphoma. I am 30 with a 1.5 year...

thanks for the special credit lkthomas :) ... now to figure out why ;)

Gann's work is an interesting one, some of his teaching I think are a smokescreen for what he really used. Gann angles do work, squaring of price and time also works, and after banging heads with other Gann enthusiasts over at http://www.beginnertrader.com/forum2/ there are some other methods...

I am not too sure of it's accuracy, but I have a list of the major currency dates (and a request for others to help) here: http://www.beginnertrader.com/forum2/viewtopic.php?id=71

Wow what a read, and what a journey this thread was, it really showed the contrast between beliefs of traders and people in general, from plain nasty to very helpful. As for Delta, I've read the book, studied the charts, solved the odd market for delta points, but unfortunately it doesn't seem...

Thanks for the kind words rols, if anyone feels that need, please send it to the nearest disabled charity to you, they need it more than any of us, do let me know though as it would make me a happy chappy. I am no expert, market maker or trading guru, just a trader trying to beat the game like...

Bugger I should have charged £50 ;) ... not a problem, it was as much benefit to myself getting it all out on paper (well virtually) as it seems to be for others.
