    Swing trading us stocks with IB from UK

    Trading the US Markets by Paolo Pezzutti. Swing Trading as a Part Time Job by Brett Brown Worden Telechart for market data, charts, etc. I did reasonably well trading US markets for a bit. Considering going back to it as I like the clear upward trend of the S&P right now. Good trading...

    Basic ideas are sometimes the best

    I'm thinking. "Life got in the way" ?!!! Sorry, Sefty, I don't mean to come across as hypercritical. Life does indeed get in the way sometimes and I believe it's a bad idea to attempt to trade when it does. But goddam, the sheer compound interest of it all ... And thanks for a brilliant...

    Lowest Minimum Bet Per Point??

    Ultimatus, I joined them quite some time ago and there was indeed some kind of teaser offer such as you describe. What they do for new accounts now I couldn't say.

    Stopped out by HOW MUCH?!

    And just to rub it in, it's happened again. Stopped out with the price just above the stop but within the spread. @rse. Lesson learned.

    Stopped out by HOW MUCH?!

    Thanks guys. First off, I got an immediate sense of 'Hey, it's not just me!' Irrational but true. Secondly, good points from tomorton, especially about round figures at SB charts. Thanks mate. Thirdly, some good advice offered, considering how little I explained. Thanks to all of...

    Technical indicators for spread betting

    ADX sometimes camouflaged by the name DMI. I think ADVFN might have it. If you're betting on stocks consider a market breadth indicator, New Highs minus New Lows or something, just to gauge the strength of the related index. Good luck.

    Stopped out by HOW MUCH?!

    What a gutter. Got caught in the recent pullback and got stopped out of a bet. So? Well, the low of the pullback didn't quite reach my stop loss. It seems I was stopped out by the width of the spread. Two things to do next time, perhaps: Firstly, what have we been told about setting...

    speculation are useless to society not true

    Speaking of making a useful contribution and of welcoming debate, we still haven't heard from the thread starter. I'm not keen on somebody just coming in with a rant, effectively saying 'let's you and you fight' and then buggering off. And Christiaan still hasn't answered my question: what's...

    speculation are useless to society not true

    Nevertheless, as MrGecko pointed out, speculation exists to offset risk to actual producers. Oh, and then there's providing liquidity to markets, i.e. enabling a large enough pool of buyers and sellers to do what they have to do. Did the original poster have a bad experience, then? ;)

    Lowest Minimum Bet Per Point??

    I use Finspreads. Minimum 50p/pt. Although depending on how little you have in your account you may find yourself priced out of some more expensive stocks. Better to have more in the account and give yourself some leg room, unless you're like me and playing for peanuts until I feel I can...

    Criteria to find trending/breakout stocks

    I like to start by assessing the strength of the overall market. Trend, ADX over 30, and I like to see New Highs minus New Lows. A graph of that can sometimes give divergences from the trend, alerting me to a possible change in trend soon. Then I consult my list of sectors ('industry...
