    Brexit and the Consequences

    Project Fear unravels .......... http://www.cbi.org.uk/news/manufacturing-demand-strengthens/ UK manufacturers’ order books are at their highest level since August 1988. A CBI survey of 464 firms found a “broad-based improvement” in 13 out of 17 manufacturing sub-sectors, with food, drink and...

    Today's outage

    I understand what you're saying - I used to be a network critical IT manager in a large government agency. My simple point is that what Sharky's got at the moment is perfectly adequate. If T2W goes down it's hardly a matter of life and death is it?

    Today's outage

    Actually, I'm quite impressed. For a site that gets no income from its viewers you've not done badly to get up and running again within a few hours. I know of one motorcar forum site a few years ago that hadn't got proper backups and it never recovered and is now extinct. Of course, you...

    Could easily become the start of the end of your friendship.

    Where is the boundary between analysis and subjective conclusions?

    You can't predict the market but you can make a pretty good probility-based estimate. Yes, it is a bit fuzzy with trendlines etc - that's why successful, ie proftable trading has never been and never will, be easy. DbPhoenix's thread has some good instruction in this area. It gets easier as...

    Reliability of technical indicators?

    Price is the only true indicator. Use it in conjunction with DbPhoenix's straight-line clarifier and you will become a profitable trader even though not all your trades will be profitable. The only practical use I have found for any other "indicator" is to scan for a situation where...

    Ireland

    The Irish have historically been subject to some very rough deals. It always has impressed me how resilient and decent the vast majority of Irish people are.

    How to Profit from the EU Referendum?

    Ok Timsk - take your point. But...... I still think your question is too simplistic. It could be a "hung" result with possibly another vote later. Now that would present traders with a dilemma! Anyway, back to your lead: what should we do for "In" and what should we do for "Out".

    Brexit - in or out

    Just a thought for the "stay in" team – when did Dave last pull a crowd like this one with Boris yesterday?

    Brexit - in or out

    But that may not be the case when Turkey is fully admitted.

    How to Profit from the EU Referendum?

    What about the Black Swan scenario? – Dave loses. Conservative party goes into terminal split over who should take over. Shenanigans result in general election by end of year. Corbyn wins. Disaster. Best option then? – Emigration?

    Brexit - in or out

    Agree. Boris intends to be next PM. Other contenders are supporting Dave to stay in. If Dave loses, he'll be reqiuired to step down thus leaving Boris a clear field. If Dave wins, Boris is still in with a good chance and may change his tune - in the best Churchillian tradition. Boris reaches...

    Interviews Member Profile: CityTrader

    Excellent and very interesting article. Good to hear "professional" views from someone who's been there and done it for real.

    Is market turning for a rebound?

    Where did i say that? I may be mistaken but if your mindset is to draw conclusions not backed up by evidence then you will have extreme difficulty with the market. You have previously asked if others think that the market has bottomed out – presumably you are uncertain of your own opinion...
