Fantastic stuff! Hello TD. I haven't been on the boards for a while. I am newish, and my lack of experience during the recent yank sub-prime shennanigans made me go away and ponder how burnt I could have got. Anyway I am back now. This thread has ben great. I noticed it started with great...

Doh! I spotted it second time round! I was a bit tired last night. Bit of a school boy error isn't it?

Lol timsk. It looks like a school project. I like the comment about graph paper. I haven't used any of that stuff for yonks. And how come is it every book published about TA tells you how to read a candle? I wouldn't be able to trade without them!?!

I am going to clear my account out tommorrow methinks.

Hey Jim. Thanks for your advice. I am looking to start paper trading fx over the next few months so it will be interesting to see how this works out.

This made me chuckle when I read it. Quality. Out of interest how does your friend determine entry and exits? Enter the trade if the wind is blowing North Easterly and the day of the week has more than two vowels? Exit the trade if a dog barks or your mum calls you up for a chat? The thing...

Here are a few recent ones... Easy to spot in hindsight. I rode HMSO to the bottom :p

Once you get used to it you will be suprised how easy they are to spot. There isn't much happening in the FTSE at the mo with last weeks shennanigans. When something decent appears I will post up what I find. That is one of the problems with only trading patterns, is that they aren't there...

Patterns can be a be reliable to trade. But like most set-ups or strategies they can go wrong. In my experience the best pattern to get to recognise is head and shoulders top. I have just been flicking through the FTSE 100 and there have been a few over the recent months I could have made a...

Hey Rhody. Thanks for the link. This is just the kind of thing I was looking for. I'm going to have a good read of it now. BTW I did just check out a broker who geared up to 700:1!?! Madness! Thank for the reply!

I would like to learn more about trading FX. All I know about the market are the very basics. So far my learning has gone as far as some of the learning zone articles and wikipedia. I will be putting an order in with amozon soon for some new literature. Would any seasoned(profitable) traders...

Hey everyone. Before I start, I must stress that I know absolutley nothing about this market. I have spent a long, long time trying to suss out stocks. I'm at the point now where I think I know what I am doing. During this time I have never given FX a second glance. I know what the market...

Hey forexpilgrim. Thanks for the link. I looked at this chart system a while ago. It looked interesting, but I didn't know what to do with all the funny colours and strange lines. I haven't properly read it yet, but the link looks good. Bags of info. There is an interesting part about...

Hey Daz. Stick with it man. You will be fine as long as you are a bit more sticter with yourself when placing future trades. I have got the the same t-shirt. My first couple of trading accounts didn't last very long. That was mainly down to silly mistakes and guess work. I agree with...

FAO Simon. Firsty I'm not going to plough though the previous 300 odd pages in this thread. This is the first time I have been in this thread and I really don't have the time. What I will say though is it is a nice touch bank rolling the guys and gals here with their charity account. This...
