Ah ok thanks, we will think about this (the strategy and what we are actually looking for in the market) Thanks for all the help!

Definitely helps. Thanks. I guess I will start with the 1 - 3 months and see how that works out. And then try to go from there to 1 week or days. Because I guess you're right. very short term trading (day to week) seems hard to me. And also the costs and fee's concern me a little. You don't want...

Ah ok, thanks for that Barjon! Then I will probably ask more questions about the assumptions I make and what to do next soon :) Thanks

Yes I think you're right. Its the X and Y's that we were trying to find. But I guess Malaguti now made clear that you can find the X and the Y's in the chart staring at you. So I guess we will then focus on the charts with technical analysis.. I also read this somewhere. This is close to what...

Hey Malaguti, This is helpfull. If you say its for the most part in the chart itself, then I guess I will start with the charts first. Thanks again!

Yes I know, but we also want to make good/accurate assumptions so that in most cases our assumptions pan out. So thats why we were looking for underlying drivers of the charts. So why do we assume the chart to act in a certain way next month? We have to have reasons why we assume a chart is...

BTFD. Nice :). You should be able to see the dips coming right? I will keep this one in mind

My friend and I are trying to make a list of the possible drivers where we can base our predictions on for the stock charts. So far we have these; - Past stock charts performance (Patterns/trends) - News events - Market bias - Professionals opinions Can we add more driving factors that can...

Thanks TraderLT. This really helps us out. I guess we will then practice looking for biases in the markets to see if it will go up or down over the next 1-3 months. One more thing. Could you also apply this for the upcoming week? So look for a bias and then think about if the market is going to...

I mean for example today someone said he looked at the price compared to competitors. and then for this telecom company the price was at this point much lower than the price of the competitors and therefore he expected an uptrend in the chart soon. So in this case he predicted the chart will...

Ah ok, that's bad news.. I hear different opinions about if it works or not. But yes, In most cases I hear its very hard to predict how the market (traders) will react to a news event. But ok, if you cant use news event as a predicting driver for your stock chart? What other predicting drivers...

Hi Guys, I was wondering what actually is the essence of trading? I read this article that said; Want the essence of swing trading in two sentences? In uptrending markets buy weakness as it returns to strength. In downtrending markets sell strength as it returns to weakness. I would add to...

Thanks for your replies counter_violent and malaguti! Very nice. Ok yes counter_violent, nice to hear, because we were thinking in the same way :). Ok, maybe we should then really understand leverage first before we start with it. And ok, maybe we should aim for the 50% first :). Yes about...

Hi everyone, my name is Dave and I am a recent graduate and a beginners level trader. I have a question about time frames. My friend and I are trying to set up the perfect time frames and are doubting between these; time frame 1 week time frame 1 month time frame 3 months For long term...
