how is everyone doing on the ftse today ? so far I'm down 10 points which is absolutely wonderful.....

how much does a personal data feed cost ?

shortorlong, you appear to be around the same experience as me, and I believe that to gain very good foundations on which to trade, you should have a very good understanding of price action/volume/support+resistance. With this good knowledge you should be able to trade on just that, with help of...

yeh I noticed the no PL on a single transaction, its pretty annoying. So annoyerd about lack of volume, going to have to use charts from elsewhere !

I just signed up with CMC and I really like the platform except that I can't seem to get volume onto the charts ? On the built in platform chat with the helpdesk, they said their charts don't feature volume ? Whats that about ? Seeing as all indicators are pretty much derivatives of 2...

he provided an answer, but not an answer that will make you millionaire ! http://www.trade2win.com/boards/showthread.php?t=26050&page=5 Fair enough to him though. I wouldn't reveal my secrets that easily either. But then nobody wants secrets of "how to steadily lose ten points a day" :lol:

well just out of interest anyways, which answer to the question would be considered lower risk ?

well CMC markets and capital spreads only appear to have one type of account, presumably a credit account because that is the norm isnt it ? only a few of the not so great SB firms have limited risk accounts.

Hi all, Due to being a student various SB companies have rejected me an account. All of them ask the quesiton "for what reason will you use this account?" and the 3 answers are "hedging other investments" "speculation" or "both". Whats the best answer to give to imply that I am lower risk ? Or...

Does anyone know of any other SB firms other than IG that do limited risk accounts ? I'm a student (with no income and high debt) and for that reason no firm will give me an account unless its limited risk. I've been using one with IG, but I trade the ftse mainly and at a 4 point spread (due to...

Done ;) , by the way sorry about the annoying question in the dax forum the other day "how do you make 500 points a day?" or whatever it was. I can see how questions like that can **** people off. One day I'll rub shoulders with giants, be making 500 points a day, and people will be quoting...

I've only ever traded indices....how does it compare to forex? I hear its more "trendy" than indices which i suppose would make it easier to grab points, especially with the ftse being a bit unpredictable at the moment anyway.

very quick question for anyone to answer, what are your usual stops on your average ftse day trade ? I mean do you try and keep your risk/reward ratio constant, or do you focus more on keeping a constant stop level ? Thanks I'm just trying to improve my stop strategy, I feel it's whats letting...

Hi All, Just a quick question, with regards to patterns - eg. double tops, double bottoms, head+shoulders top, rising wedges, falling wedges etc etc What kind of time scales can these be used on ? I've only really ever seen them used in case studies across a few months - but can these be used...

whats this crossover method that got you 700 points a day ? If you've got a system like that up and running, I dunno why your faffing about scalping !!!
