    Historical Unit Trust Prices

    Does anyone know where I can get historical daily unit trust prices from? Some funds have them on their websites, but not all. But I would prefer a place that has prices for all unit trusts. I have spent an hour searching the internet but cannot find anywhere. Bloomberg, Reuters, Financial...

    Unit Trust Historical data

    You can get them individually from FT.com. If you know how to script, you'll be able to write something to do it for you. I'm vaguely thinking of writing a Matlab or PHP script to do it, but have not got round to it yet.

    Unit Trust, Single Priced

    Thanks for the thorough information! I guess I don't know so much about these products afterall. I looked at Skandia, but unforunately they say that you need a financial advisor to use them. While reading about Unit Trusts and OIECs I stumbled across Stamp Duty articles. The information on...

    Next Door neighbour - Worst trader ever?

    Your neighbour isn't too bad. I know a professional who loses about 200k a year on his own book. And loses about another 200k a year from his colleagues' books due to execution errors. He's been going strong for about 8 years. And is so good at talking that anyone who doesn't know his true...

    Investing £100 a month into India, China, Brazil

    I'd like to drip feed £100 a month into investments in India, China and Brazil. What is the best way to do this outside of an ISA? I read that it is sometimes bad to buy a fund from the fund provider itself, as a fund supermarket may cut the fees. Is that still the case? Please note that I...

    Will any Msc programs help with learning to trade?

    I'm thinking of doing an MSc to help me with my futures trading. Most quantitative finance courses appear to delve into option theory, but that is not really too relevant to proprietary futures trading. Does anyone here know which courses would be best suited to my requirements? I am looking...

    Market Profile - just another indicator?

    It was devised as a way to estimate the volume that traded at particular prices, as tick by tick data was not available when it was invented. And you can get free indicators for it on stuff like tradestation or metatrader. Having said that, I'm not defending it. I am merely analysing it at...

    Market Profile - just another indicator?

    I read Markets in Profile http://books.global-investor.com/books/71317/James-Dalton-and-Robert-B.-Dalton-and-Eric-T.-Jones/Markets-in-Profile/ He makes many claims. One is that if prices rise on high volume, then prices are more likely to continue. I've been watching intraday charts lately...

    Market Profile - just another indicator?

    I've just finished reading the book, and am wondering whether or not there is any validity to the author's claims. Does anyone know if there are any academic studies that analyse Market Profile?

    Index Pairs Trading

    That's not really true. If you want to trade spreads across different exchanges at an exchange you might need to put down a lot of risk capital to trade a relatively small size. And the software is about £1k a month, and you need it if you don't want to get legged. Trading fees are also...

    Market Profile Pac for CQG?

    I've noticed that you can download PACs of custom studies for CQG. Are there any for download that include market profile? I know there's a paid Market Profile, but I was wondering if anyone has written their own, and if it's available somewhere.
