    Traders from Australia?

    Trading is one of the most simplest of endeavours, all you need is good technical knowledge and the right mindset, spruikers wouldn't have a clue about the mindset let alone pass it on to someone else. To be honest it has taken me 25+ years to evolve to where I am today in my trading and I don't...

    Traders from Australia?

    With options I specialize in the FTSE, also do futures on the indexes. These days only in contact with 2 other options traders from back in the day, one does the FTSE as well and the other ETOs on the ASX.

    The Future of Discretionary Trading?

    It's all good mate, I'm happy to agree to disagree.

    Trading Without Charts?

    Hi, Out of curiosity I googled up Dionysus, found him on Buzzle, thank you I nearly fell off the chair I was laughing so hard. The greek god of wine and festivities, he was also the patron diety of agriculture and theatre, but this is the bit I like:clap: "inspirer of ritual madness and...

    Trading Without Charts?

    Thank you for the compliment re "All style," very observant of you. Regarding "no substance" the only way you could know that is if you are all knowing, so I ask you "are you all knowing?" A god complex or perhaps just a complex god. Interestingly, after being off the forum for several years...

    LOL I can visualize the stamping of the foot and the loudly exclaimed "he's being mean, he won't give me what I want" that accompanied the rolling of the eyes, doesn't reflect much personal growth on your part since the last time we met. Cheers John1 :lol::lol::lol:
