I am interested in technical analysis and trading over 2-3days max per trade. Where can I get chart and volume? and how do I setup a backtested system with alerts? Many thanks for your reply.

Thanks for the advice.

Hi, I am a newbie and this is my first proper trading session today. I have £100 in my account and I have been putting 20p per point on IGIndex. This is my log: DEAL 31/12/2010 JF8VKEAU Daily US Light Crude (Feb) 03-Jan-11 9122.5 £ -0.2 9142.5 £-4 DEAL 31/12/2010 JF8G2BAR Daily US Light Crude...

I'm reading a lot of bad comments about IG Index on this forum , any of them I should worry about?

Ok Anley, Thanks for that advice. I've done that, I have placed a bet on US light crude (March 11) to go up, opened at 9191.0 at 20p per point currently 9121. I have BP plc (Jun 11) opened at 473.6 at £5 per point, currently 473.80 Are there any others you can recomend?

Thanks for the reply. I would say I am more laid back and chilled. However, when I splashed out on IG Index account, I completely changed and the adrenaline kicked in, ended up losing it. So I need to have a good strategy second time.

hi oil tanker, im not winding you up. I made a mistake, a big mistake and learnt the hardway not to gamble. Now I want to start properly. Thanks for the links donovan5, but without indicators on charts. how do you decide on what point to enter or exit a trade?

Also I have a book called "Technical Analysis: Plain and Simple". Is it worth learning?

I totally agree, I can safely say I am that idiot... I am going to start a clean slate in January. Do you recommend keeping trades open for a number of days? What kind of instruments do you recommend? Currencies seem too volatile. Currently, I have a position open on BP Plc (JUN-11). opening...

You are certainly right about slowing the game down, £10 a point made some good money, then lost more. would you recommend keeping trade open over a number of days? and 50p per point? or lower? I have applied for a demo account at Capital Spreads. but I think it might be better to use a real...

thanks for the advice I wish i came here before I blew my capital. I have been looking at FSTE 100 as it was going up, and US Light Crude Oil. What kind of instruments do you recommend for a beginner? And what is a good strategy? I must say it is a good buzz but nearly a heart attack when I...

Hi, I am new to spread betting and trading in general.I opened an account with IG Index and am starting to learn technical analysis from a book. Is there any recommendations and tips for a beginner?

Hi, Sorry for my ignorance, I'm on this forum for educational purposes, what does this mean?
