SOunds like you may have been "just lucky" with a nicely behaved market! Try it again, but with small amounts so it doesn't hurt so much when the method fails. I find that most of the time there either isn't a trend, or there are several, depending on the time frame you're using. If you're...

Watching live traders I don't see why they hold on to retractions as long as they do. If something takes you up to +50 and retraces to +20, well as far as I'm concerned you should have closed at about +48, and reopened at +20. But the habit seems to be to hold on. A guy the other day was $8K...

I'm interested in swing trading because it's slower than day trading. Unfortunately I don't understand what you're trying to show in your charts.

If frustration is better than boredom, then try Day Trading. Try watching Day Trade The World Live on youtube (starting at about 1 hour before NY exchanges open.) You can win or lose a lot more than 1% a day. They almost entiirely use the Support and Resistance Levels on the chart, and one or...

There is the matter of practice too - or (not) realising the skill and limitations of you and the tools you have. Watching "Day Trade The World" live on Youtube, I'm bewildered by how good they are at succesful scalp trades from small movements. I stay away, for now.

I'm not wishng to offend anyone but iif someone wants something from me, which rog1111 does, a little information wouldn't be inappropriate. @Inquisitor The profile information is unhelpful. Number of post only, as I said. Perhaps if YOU had put in some diligence you would have realised that...

If you open using £1000 at 3000x and the currency moves 0.2%, you make £6000. Kerching. If it goes all wrong (seems unlikely) then you could lose your £1000. Run away.. What am I missing? What assumption? I said what the volume was - Volume would be 3000x the margin, which is £1000...

Diligence produces "Rog1111" and "Established member" which doesn't tell me very much.

What help will you offer? I don't need help in making another losing trade, I'm really awfully good at it :D . Seriously 1) Who are you? 1) this sounds like a bit of a scam, to be revealed later. . . . 2) what's in it for me? Are you going to tell me to learn chart dynamics, company...

I assume that's "fxglory" , "gloy" was a nasty glue we used at school (gloop + joy?). Are you contemplating the 3000:1 leverage? Can you (or anyone) answer a silly question? When you know the interest rates are going to be changed , and you know which way they're going to go, then you know...

HI I've been trading fror a couple of months. It started ok... for a while. I'm finding the platform I'm using is getting in the way, though it has some good points. I've been watching "Day Trade The World" for day trading and seeing what they use. I'm using Trading 212 I've written a bit more...

Why do you post in captal letters, It's considered shouting? What's SBV? 75% accurate? How accurate would it be to say the market will do today what it did yesterday? Better than 50%. You'd be 100% right , many days in a row. I have a medium undertstanding of charts, levels and whatnot, but...

Yes I have looked though some of those, but my experience is, so far, that you only really find out when you use the platform. Fo instance, with Tradng 212, they have an INV platform, where you get narrow spreads though they don't show them. You pay the 0.5% tax on UK shares, but not on CFDs...

It's wrong abaout AVAtrade, I'm pretty sure. There's no $9 fee. They have no trading fees like that.

Hello. I've been trading for a few weeks on Trading 212. It has some merits but I need a less clunky platform. The spreads are mostly reasonable I think, but they split their platforms into 2, which is a pain, They're full of bugs, and there's no volume information, and so on. I follow Day...
