    Day Trade Fun

    Re: Day Trade or any time frame free tip Investing that kind of money just doesn't sound right ... Trading needs to be a totally simplified process in order to make sense of it as there can be so much information to process. When you think about it all you want to do is what the masses are...

    Recommend me a mentor

    Noobietrader, If I may be so bold as to share what works for me. I trade indicies. Remember KISS. Something that works more than 50% of the time is one moving average on a chart nothing else. Try SMA 70. Criteria : wait for extremes on the 4hr charts according to MACD either in OS or OB then...

    Simple Trading System

    Hi Cryoplasm, The system is based on the "cross" as the signal it is a basic and very old way to trade. If price action goes sideways it doesn't matter as long as you are getting in as early as the cross up occurs for a long and a cross down for a short. The signal is the cross. Pink line...

    Breaking Your Rules...

    Fri Marrch 13 th 2009 I broke one of my rules " to never move my stop after I've set it" Well it has once again shown that breaking any simple common sense rule will result in losses. I'm convinced that trading is easy only the trader that makes it hard !
