RIGHT ON Paul and Andrew ..:thumbsup: .. and that's THE single biggest disadvantage of using IGIndex as a trading platform for FlagTrader IMHO. I would like to discuss this aspect in more detail privately .. ideally WHEN Guy C eventually gets this promised exclusive forum off-the-ground ...

Proposed FT Forum Hi Everyone - but especially: - Jchohan (June) - Pjchalmers (Paul) - Chris_P_D (Chris) - Martinl (Martin) - Andys280176 (Andrew) - Swisdom - catpurley (from NY) - MarciaS (Marcia) - smudger21 You may be interested to learn that I very recently held quite a lengthy and...

Agreed Marcia - could always do both of course. For instance, I visit a US-based traders' forum on a fairly regular basis .. as a non-subscribing member, I must add. There's the majority "Rabble", like me, who visit the site in the hope picking-up info and maybe post the odd uncontroversial...

Wise words TheBramble ..May The Force Be With You! .. any thoughts, comments, my fellow fledgling FlagTraders?

HA! .. :lol: .. Thanks for your candid reply! .. :thumbsup: FWIW .. I believe most (me included) are inclined to think along the same lines as you .. and I'm referring to all your remarks in your main paragraph above. In other words, we'll see .. time will tell, one way or another. Like Abe...

Yes TheBramble, I'm sure you're right, although apart from a typical Yahoo! Forum [.. yuk! ..:thumbsdow] I personally wouldn't know where of how to start a social group. Could one be established here for instance? NB - I'm a relative newbie to the site .. as no doubt you can tell from my posting...

In response to Smudge [post #120 above]: as you can see from previous posts in this thread, I’ve been trying to get some sort of members’ forum off the ground for a while now. The more I think about this, however, the more I think it should be for the exclusive benefit of bona fide FlagTraders...

This something that I tried to get off the ground over six weeks ago Chris. See my post #100 - earlier on this thread - dated 13-May. Anyone else up for this, eh? - A weekly round-up from all of us newb FTers should be hugely valuable for all concerned, surely? Ideally this could be conducted...

I think it's good that we can exchange views & ideas like this; it's a learning curve for all us newbie FlagTraders at the end of the day. Thanks for the update Andrew - COO was one that I also spotted, but I'm glad that I decided not to trade it. I agree, taking early profits during uncertain...

Update Hi again everyone I’m still experimenting with the FlagTader system. Just virtual trades in the main, with the exception of one small ‘real’ trade that I placed with IG Index on 7th May. Why am I still just mainly paper trading? .. you might well ask. Answer: 1. Because of the...

Andrew, in summary, as I see it, [and I am definitely no expert BTW): Solid red candlesticks means today’s close is less than the open, and today’s close is greater than yesterday’s. Solid green candlesticks means today’s close is less than the open, and today’s close is greater than...

Good work Andrew - thanks for your detailed explanations, which all make perfect sense to me. Yes, I think you're dead right to keep tight stops, especially in view of the apparent current downturn in overall market conditions; we of course mustn't forget the bigger macro-economic picture. Guy's...

Hi Andrew - I'm now also a fully paid-up FT user - although I have been away and out of the country since February-12, and only returned home last Wednesday, April-01. Before going abroad I meticulously went through and studied all of Guy's videos, but didn't feel comfortable enough at that...

Okay Richard - It's prolly still too early for me to answer you question with any conviction, as my paper trades are all only a few days into the action. But provisionally this is how they look: Bear Flags (4 x US): All four trades have been triggered and filled; all of them are now heading in...

In response to your question Richard; well, I am fairly new to the system myself and therefore I'm still navigating my way around it all. In short, I am no expert. Indeed, I've only just started paper/virtual trading, so I still have an 'open' (maybe still slightly cynical] mind on the whole...
