If you can find one, get a good mentor; someone who will pull no punches and keep you in check. I made big losses to start, but got turned around by a seasoned trader who spends the time.

Im new to tradinig, so some good info on something i know very little about, but know a bit more about now.. Thanks

I wasnt asking a question, just making a point that noone seems to know what call to make on NRK? even bloomberg got it wrong friday, dont know his name, but the guy from cantor (with glasses) normally gives some sound calls; easyjet was easy money thursday, and RBS was easy money wednesday....

I watch bloomberg for most of my inspiration (for now) where to lay my bets down,and last friday at 7.35 the top tip of the morning was Northern rock to lose at least 5 more points by end of day, but 7 points gained!!! so yes, noone knows I think.. if i were to make a call on NRK, now, im going...

Cardiff area for a mere novice with little to no experiance???

Im with IGindex, and the spreads there are quite large... but if you got any good tips on trading US shares would like to hear them.. I try and scalp on them from time to time as the price does tend to jump around quite wildly on the larger companies; trouble is, it makes the heart rate go wild...

Me Shares thing is, do I sell or not??? With some prospective buyers pulling out but others offering better deals, I dont know what to do? I thought when 2 top runners pulled out friday the shares would plummet, so i nearly made the call to sell, but held on to see them end up 7p on the...

do I still have the shares, and they have to gain value again, or do i just loose my money because i have no more shares?

I got a few shares in northern rock, if they get bought out,all well and good; hopefully they will go up and i will get my money back. My question is this! what happens to my shares if the company is nationalised? Thanks Kev. ( yes, i know, should have ditched them ages ago!)

Hello out there. Been talking to a senior member about Fibonacci levels in trading ( don't understand at all), but he says you need a little knowledge of them to make good profitable trades. Thats not my point, been reading through the nightmare that are Fibs and came accross a company called...

Hi all, just looking for some help. Im having trouble with the ORDER TO OPEN ticket on IGindex. Basically I want to open orders at the opening price no matter what it opens at. Today futures were down before open, so wanted to go short on banks, but my order didnt open because it opened lower...
