Hi Mintoze TSR stands for Trendlines, Support and Resistance. I've recently been a day course here http://www.trade2win.co.uk/boards/showthread.php?s=&threadid=4991 the thrust of which was that TSR is all you (mainly) need and (picking my words carefully) it was suggested that the supporting...

Hi Helen Great post. Here’s another ‘circle’ and guess who its from ? Andrew

TA in a Nutshell – a review I went along to TBS’s course on Saturday and thought it might be worth jotting down a few observations in case others come this way and are wondering how to start…where to start…what does it all mean? Well, this one day course is a very good way to begin. If one...

Hullo RogerM Thanks for the reply. I have read your erudite postings before on this site (including an ‘interview’, from memory), latterly on the Options thread. You have put much food for thought on my plate – the table is groaning under so much information at the moment ! I’m trying to keep it...

My concern is that we are going to have another summer of boredom where we end up stuck in these ranges – hopefully not! Hullo TBS To echo others – excellent post. Many thanks. Some of these shares are in my ‘FTSE EOD universe’ and it was good to see your thoughts on support and resistance...

Hi FTSE Beater I’ve looked at these charts and not keen to trade any…yet. Here is what these charts are saying to me: AV. support at 340p resistance at 460p from mid Dec, seem to be in a descending triangle (I see a falling trendline) so, I’d wait and see if the chart made 410p if it breaks...

Hi NI Just checked with your post…we seem to have called the charts in the same direction (!?!) but you are definitely more aggressive than me on Barclays and M&S; this may be a function of time between analysis perhaps. Out of curiosity, what is your thinking for a target of 480p for BARC...

Hi FTSE Beater and NastyItch Hope you are both well. FWIW, here are my observations on the above charts (and so as not to be influenced by NI (!) I’ve not looked at his post…) Prices as of close today Barclays Following a failed inverse h+s, I can now see a rising neckline inverse h+s Long @...

Hi FTSE Beater Firstly, a public thank for your sterling work over on the First Steps board. Very much appreciated. Secondly, yes, I did place stop loss and target price ('limit order') as follows AV price last night = 410.25p buy or short; short stop loss = 450p limit = 350p and so R/R of...

Hi Sharky I’m playing this competition by looking at EOD charts and placing short or buy instructions for the following day. There seems to be a risk in this strategy, in that if the market makers open the price at something that is markedly different to which it closed at then… e.g. Aviva...

Hi Trader333 and Skimbleshanks Thanks for the quick replies. I shall send away from the CD as it sounds as it will benefit me educationally – i.e. improve understanding of trends, support, resistance and perhaps look at some indicators. Whilst looking at UK stocks at the moment, this is more...

Hullo Skimbleshanks Wise words. Quick question. You wrote: I am at the paper stage (yes, really!, although now my FINs account with £100 is open…) and am EOD trading by looking at charts on FT.com in the evening when I get home from work. Could you expand on what exactly TC2000 does? And...

Hi esiotrot (Peter G) I’m interested in a couple of the posts between Helen and TBS re: Options, especially the following bit:- This last sentence has me intrigued and IF / WHEN you have the time – and energy - any input would be greatfully received. Cheers Andrew (SoldierofOne)

A Soldier’s Strategy FTSEBeater – thanks for the table on timings. This naturally leads me to ponder how to select stocks that exhibit Postion/Swing rather than EOD characteristics. But this perhaps jumping ahead a stage… Hullo NastyItch. Excellent post and if I knew how to vote for it then I...

Hullo NastyItch and TBS Some excellent posts here. Encapsulates my thoughts exactly (I’ve printed off NastyItch’s and TBS replies for my notice board at home). Without regurgitating my NastyItch has eloquently stated, I see myself at (or just behind) NI in terms of researching trading and TA...
