hi cosmo, what is the Top20 strategy? thanks :confused:

hello Rogueman, thanks for your reply. I would take out more contracts to make up for the shortfall of those 100/150 points. when a crash comes, I wouldn`t be able to sell my trading stocks and that`s why I need a hedge. If I place a stop sell order on a future contract about 200 points away...

is nobody ready when the crash comes?

hello folks, I have a long trading stock portfolio (not CFD`s) and I would like to protect my capital against any major fall. Now I can have a short portfolio, but its a lot more work, takes up a lot of capital (opportunity cost) and will probably lose money on it. Another idea is a far out of...

part of your name says ....nice, but there is nothing nice about your language. I`m sure you could package in another way and still get your message across???? :frown:

thank you blades for your contribution will have a look at the site. btw I was looking to hedge my long trading stock against a market crash and I might have found a very good answer. It wont cost 8%. I`m thinking about placing an order say 200 points away from the present price of the DOW...

hello folks, I`ve been thinking about a strategy for a while that seems interesting to me. the stocks to choose from would be the S&P500 or Ftse100 for liquidity reasons. Scan the S&P500 for stocks that have gone up the most in the last month. Look at the charts and buy the top 10 that have...

well good on you to be happy with your present system, but for me I`m not happy until I double my money year on year. Like you say, it is hard work to get a succesful system; you have to be quite a fanatic to get anywhere and to be sooooo disciplined Like I said before, I dont expect anybody to...

hey guys, JIllyB`s journal has added charts people could have a look at, but those dont seems to be available anymore...........anybody knows where to look for those charts? thanks :cool:

Hi f/walker, I appreciate you telling me your secret strategy, but if you don`t mind I`ll pass. I think there`s nothing wrong looking at 80%+ strategies, so if you have those in your tool kit that have a 80% success rate beyond 3 months survival, well I`ll just have a look. thanks for now ;)
