Hi all, I have a question regarding the AAII Magnet Simple Screen. I recently saw this on the website and it seems to get good returns. Does anyone know the criteria for the screen? Secondly, has anyone managed to implement this screen in something like ProRealtime? Or can anyone see a way of...

As far as I'm aware, property has dropped massively ~50%? Equities dropped ~70%? plus other local classes.I starting to think that the only way the japanese would have been able to invest for proper appreciation would have been in foreign markets. So maybe the answer for us with a possible 10...

Hi all, long time since I posted last. A short stint in afghanistan to deal with. I have a question regarding the last 20 years of no growth and asset slump in japan. I am trying to conduct some research to find out what asset classes did actually appreciate during that time. Im sure that there...

Real Estate 'Investment' - Is a house an investment or a place to live.... discuss... tons of stuff to cover there including financing topics (interest rates, credit, risk, tax, etc), ecomonics (supply and demand, production, productivity, rational and behavioural, etc), business studies (the...

Well ive been stopped out. I was basically hanging for a range trade. The pair have been bouncing around for a few days. Was planning on shorting after the resistance around 1.2900 last night. The german news came in this morning and I got into the trade as it started moving down. My stop is a...

Hi Hotch, Can I ask you what made you go long on EUR/USD at 11:15(BST) today at 12842.2? - What were your reasons, where did you see the pair going? - What was your Stop value and what was your take profit if you had one. If you didn’t have one what was your plan for the trade and how were...

As I understand it (and please, someone, correct me if I’m wrong) Another simple example of real world hedging… You run a British auto parts company, company A, who manufactures components in the UK but buys sub-components from Germany and the USA, companies B and C. A large car manufacturer...

I was thinking about this a while ago when I was having a look at strats stress free trading techniques and he said that he never ever used the high and low of the candle to create his trends from and always used the close. I can understand this maybe in EOD equity charts but forex it just...

Re: JDTRADER £97 to Financial Freedom Yeah, could you highlight your reasons for entering the trades? just to understand your decision making process. I quite like your premise of starting with a low account and trying to build it up, should be interesting. Cheers Fin

Hi Belize, Im impressed you’ve started a journal so early in your career and are willing to take the wide range of views your postings are sure to bring. I hope to soon start an online journal and back date it to keep it up to date by posting up my offline journal. Just a 2 cents from my own...

if i remember bullbearings do a virtual stock market but im not sure every stock is listed... Other than that a piece of paper and a pen usually works really well (MS Excel as well). Create a spread sheet with your trades and add in a rough costing of stamp duty and commisions and youre away!!

I agree with the majority here. 13.5 million private sector full time workers..... we can split the national debt between us and expect to pay it off for a number of years, on top of your mortgages and other debts (if you have any). not only paying off the national debt, we few, we happy(?)...

great explanation... simples.... not about hedging against each bettor but hedging each bettor against each other and then only needing to enter the market if there is a short fall between the longs and the shorts... Hence another reason they have historically had limited options for bets (ie...

Totally agree with B and C, but im not 100% sure about A. not that I don’t agree, just I don’t fully understand. As far as I understand, when you place a bet with an SB you are not buying anything from the market (DMA) you are just betting with a bookie in the same way that you would on horses...

re. BNP: im sure that thats not what 'most' people want but then isnt politics about having someone in the decision making process that takes your point of view. if we had a proportional representation system and a few BNP did get seats then that would ultimately mean that they had supporters...
