    what should I do?

    I have this stuck to the top of my screen. I think it was from.someone called Trader Dante (look him up): "Your only job as a trader is to identify your Edge and to trade it every single time it occurs." Simplifies things quite a bit!

    Best company to spreadbet on longterm ftse 100 shares?

    Thanks for your input. Do you mean CFDs rather than ETFs? Am looking to hold longer term positions on individual ftse100 shares and not the index itself.

    Best company to spreadbet on longterm ftse 100 shares?

    Thanks very much for the suggestions. Regarding etoro do you know what the overnight carry costs are (approximately). This is the big issue for me as holding a position for 3 months could be pretty painful!

    Best company to spreadbet on longterm ftse 100 shares?

    Afternoon all, Just wondering if anyone has any experience of this. I've looked at IG index and their overnight carry costs seem pretty large considering I'd be looking at trading off monthly charts so some positions could last a few months. Does anyone know a cost effective way of trading FTSE...

    Sounds like a good idea, I like the sound of those strength meters! Aah got it thanks for the link, the good old peanut market analogy:) It's still how I trade, have to say that sometimes I miss trend days because (using the language of the peanuts post) I don't recognise scenario 2 sometimes...

    That's very interesting indeed. Years ago I bought a course from a trader who basically did the same thing, albeit with a lot more pictures of boats and holidays so it's safe to say I'm still sceptical! Trending markets are quite rare as they need new and unexpected info/events to hit the...

    That Trader Tom bloke is a classic example of someone I don't think is a trader. He's a very slick marketing man who talks inspiration and generalities , does seminars and is very 'motivational.' If you can ascertain an actual intraday strategy from watching his videos then let me know:)

    why is the trading community so full of scammers and BS??

    It's a combination of three things: 1) The amount of money (the pot of gold so to speak) that is waiting for you if you can crack it and trade successfully. 2) Some humans are not pleasant and scam people out of money without a second thought. 3) The powerful mix of points 1) and 2) are then...

    Trump Presidency and the Consequences

    To be clear, I am no fan of Trump. What I DO react to is the blatant hypocrisy of people no matter what side they are on. In terms of the US election, ask yourself this simple question. If all of the stories regarding fraud had been committed in favour of the Republicans then would they be seen...

    What is the most important thing a beginer should learn ??

    Great observation. What's the point of having an awesome mindset if your knowledge of the market is poor and you're trading moving average/stochastics/who knows what else and losing money. How does that help?

    What is the most important thing a beginer should learn ??

    My main lightbulb moment over the last few years has been simple. Always have this in your head. On most trading days, there is no fundamental market changing news which can drive price to trade at much higher or lower prices. In the absence of this market changing news, price will simply move...
