Hi all, If your spreadbetting company only allows trading 8hrs per day and you leave a trade open overnight, what happens if the trade goes against you during the night but then goes back into the green again so that you're up by the morning? I assume any stop losses that you set would be...

With an individual company I can see why trendlines should develop ie because everyone is looking at the same company, so they are all seeing the price do the same thing (such as hitting an existing trend line) and so enough people buy/sell at that point to make it a self fufilling prophecy...

Hi all, I'd like to copy my chart set up from one computer to another. (indicators and trendlines) Is all this information stored in the template and profile folders? I have tried to copy these folders (from the computer that I want to copy the set up from) to the second computer, but it...

If that is the case then is it really worth doing it?

Hi all, I realise that most people have a stop loss close to where they open a position. But what if you are making short term trades over a time frame of minutes and you open a position expecting the price to rise but instead it goes down. If over a larger time frame(say 30 mins) the trend...

I'm using igforex, seems ok

Hi, I read your trading method thanks for sharing. I was just wondering why this is the case? "Never go long if the price is below the 1min 89expon ma, and never go short when price is above the 89expon moving average." Thanks.

Hi, For a price quote on a currency pair (for example EUR/USD) I thought that it should be the amount of US dollars which is equal to 1 Euro....say 1.2850 I've just opened a demo account with IG Forex though, and the EUR/USD quote is 12326.5 What does it mean? Thanks.

Hi all, I was wondering how trading forexes compares to trading in stocks and shares in terms of complexity. Does the fact that you are only dealing with a handful of currencies rather than potentially hundreds of stocks and shares mean that it can be less complex?

What about swing trading, where you're holding the stock for anything from a few days to a week or more? Would you say it is possible to get anywhere with only a couple of thousand when doing that sort of trading?

Hi all, When buying a stock using an online broker, is it possible to change your stop at any time during the period that you hold the stock, or is the stop fixed when you buy the stock? Thanks.

Hi all, I want to start trading and would like to hold stocks for a few days. The problem is that I only have limited funds. Is it possible to begin trading with just a few hundred pounds. The problem is that if I buy say 5 stocks and put £100 into each, the profits are so low that it...

Hi all, I'm interested in finding software that will automatically alert me when a stock reaches certain levels( that the user specifies) on different technical indicators. For example when the price reaches a certain percentage lower than its moving average. This will save me having to trawl...

Thanks, I thought there was something wrong with my computer :lol:

Hi all, I have just logged into my investopedia stockmarket simulator account and it says that the market is closed. Why is this when it is 15.20 on a Monday here in the UK. I get this message: "The current time is 10:31:47 AM Eastern Standard Time (EST). The market re-opens at 09:30 EST...
