    What is Volatility in terms of trading please and other basic questions

    Lita I would agree with you about importing data from Sharescope into Omnitrader which is why I did not recommend it. If I was in a position of trading full time, I would change immediately! However, I am at a stage where I am 'playing' and learning (I really am a complete novice!)and am...

    What is Volatility in terms of trading please and other basic questions

    Lita What I do is update data in Sharescope then import it into Omnitrader - To be honest it is lots of fiddling around. I import the FTSE350 with no problems but can't import all the indices. If you want to know how to do this - send me your e-mail address and I will send you details...

    NeilM16 I have Omnitrader 2003 stocks, pre-release 7 and a very kind man from Signal Traders has helped me set it up for the UK market, including a couple of nifty profiles, which apparently are suitable for trading on the FTSE. I only got it last week and so I have lots to play with but I am...

    Glenn and Skimbleshanks Thanks both of you for your explanation - I am gradually getting the plot! :D Skimbleshanks was correct in realising that my knowledge is at such a basic level that I don't understand alot of the information in the various books I am reading- so that a very basic...

    JayGee Thanks - that does help me and your term of ''paralysis of analysis'' is exactly what I am suffering from!
