    EOD FTSE Trading Strategy. Tweaking Ideas Appreciated!

    Maybe you could include some kind of volume component which will obviously complicate the entry critieria but may reduce those big moves against you if they can be shown to provide some level of confirmation or not of any change in direction. Just top of head thoughts...haven't applied to your...

    Rumor has it the Senate are gonna act against companies that outsource to India blah

    Can someone help me here: I just need to check that I am on a website called Trade2Win (rather than TradeUKOnly2ProvideGoodsAndServices) and part of it's raison d'etre (typed in best Queen's English of course) is to bring together individuals seeking to profit from trading in the most global of...

    T2W hosting - question for Sharky and others?

    Hi Paul, As a regular visitor to T2W (but infrequent poster) I'd be interested to hear of your experience with Gradwell who I believe are the hosting company you use for T2W. The site seems to have good uptime, but that's about all I can tell from afar. I'm interested as my company are looking...

    Maths is not the key to trading

    While on the subject anyone having a liking for this kind of stuff may find the following like useful. http://home.golden.net/~pjponzo/gummy_stuff.htm It's the site of Peter Ponzo, a former maths professor from Canada. What he doesn't know about applying maths to investment and the markets...

    Flat Panel Screens 17"

    B, I may be wrong but I believe AOC are a relative newcomer to the UK market so there's likely to be little information on their product warranty available. Picking up on a point already raised....TFTs do not support the range of different resolutions that CRTs do. As such the default res on a...

    NTL Broadband in Surrey.

    Del Very slow in Bromley (Kent) last night. I have their 600k service and found 2-Wire bandwidth test reporting approx 90-150K last night. It has been a lot better in the recent past. Chris

    If you do NOT wish to receive pop up messages follow these simple Instructions.

    Shutting down the Messenger service in Win 2000 or XP will probably only prevent popups generated using Microsoft's Messenger service. Popups come in lots of different flavours, many just being simple (but equally irritating) adverts. These aren't triggered via Messenger so will still appear...

    Professional Day Trading

    I think there's another point here which we haven't touched on. Is spreadbetting actually "betting" in the true sense?Spreadbetting as we know it (not the Fixed Odds stuff) simply involves the purchase of a time-limited instrument, not unlike an option, that increases/decreases in value over...

    To the non believers.

    As I assume it's only the thread originator (or Sharky & Mods) who can delete a whole thread, maybe Jules didn't want to go public with his strategy after all !! Feel free to correct me Jules. Chris

    Professional Day Trading

    If you had the right mix of earned and investment income you could still get almost £12,000pa tax free since the first £4,610 of earned income and £7,300 (?) of capital gains (from share/futures trading) would be tax free. No doubt the savvy operators make full use of these in some way before...

    Finspreads prices

    "Why don't they just put message on home page, with details of what is going on?" Because it's so much easier to just pass the buck. I believe Fins have a history of this when their site isn't working properly. Chris

    dabs.com monitors

    When considering a different size LCD screen make sure you have a decent graphics card. LCDs don't seem to like displaying the range of screen resolutions available with a decent CRT with the same clarity. They are instead much more optimised for specific resolutiions e.g. 15" TFTs usually run...

    TRA Transeda

    Udo Muerle (spelling?), recently appointed as CEO resigned last week I believe. Maybe there more to this than meets the eye.

    Trading on a PDA?

    jls, Call into an O2 store and ask for a demo of their XDA device (uses Microsoft's PocketPC operating system which is easy for Windows users). It has built in mobile capability so maybe you can make the demo a "condition of sale" then try browing D4F's site from there. Of course on the...
