Yes, right off the bat. You definitely need more than one week on a demo account. You defined one of the reasons 90% of all traders bankrupt their accounts. Take time in putting together an excellent methodology. You have the rest of your life to trade live, and to trade for a living if that is what you wih to do.

Hello FiatDave,

Glad you decided to take action. Lots available to learn here. I have a thread here called Goldmine! You will see how I analyze price using the Andrews Pitchfork. I also share some tidbits along the way about other aspects of trading besides the technical side. Take a look, you might find it interesting.

All the best,

Hi, My name is Dave and I have been wanting to start a trading career for some time now. I currently work in the Auto industry and things are changing for the worst. So now I am motivated to take some action.

I came across this web site while searching for infomation about a FX trading firm that offers training for newbies like me.

I hope to learn from others the mistakes they made so I can attempt to avoid them myself.:clap:

Found this site via a person we know using the site - vince

OK I am a novice trader. I haven't started full time yet, still setting up accounts and had to decide which way we wanted to go Forex /Emini's . however I am positioning myself to do it full time, by reading all I can, visiting and learning from excellent sites like this.

Was introduced via LTG Gold rock ....... did not work out all that well so have decided not to continue with them and go it a lone .:clap:
Heres to happy trading days ahead - Patience, discipline, confidence, lack of fear and greed, and perseverance. Next comes good money management and a trading system that suits your temperament.

My immediate concern is how to use short term trading strategies to recoup my considerable long term capital tax loses,mostly due to BP,which are assets if I can generate short term capital gains. Two viewpoints have to be considered the winners and the losers. To gain a winning strategy you must understand both sides. In the philosophy of science this is called unification.The concept is related to Occums razor. At this point in time the only thing I am sure of is that I would prefer being out of the market or short overnight and weekends. Why? Over the past 100 years stocks on average have fallen 2-3 times faster than they have risen. It is also true that most of the time stocks have risen just not as fast.

Hi,
I started RH NT in Feb 10 but stopped receiving e-mail updates in June. Last NT update was 21 June 10 and last e-mail was 24 June 10 regarding stops and limits. Since then, nothing. Have e-mailed RH address given on last update report received but so far have not had reply. Have I missed something? Are any other NT users officially subscribed still getting updates etc ok? or is it just me.
I stopped doing pure NT at the end of May due to the markets volatility, which allowed me time to concentrate on developing my spread betting skills more fully on an intraday basis so am intrigued as to how the system has faired for June and July. I got the impression from some of the threads that June wasn't a good month - did NT have a losing month? Am still intent of going back to NT at some stage but not sure its the right time.
Started SB with Barclays but switched to IG shortly after Barclays trading system crashed for nearly a whole day and the phones were jammed for what seemed an eternity trying to cancel trades. Suffice to say IG is an easy trading platform but it requotes a lot whenever price moves quickly which is annoying. Have just joined ODL / FXCM which has no middleman so they claim will eliminate this problem, but have yet to work it to give any feedback. Will let you know it time.
Thanks in advance on info regarding NT

Hi I am very new to chart rooms/forum. I trade as a retail trader now for about 3months full-time.

 

[shalomj]

Does anybody know anything about Proprietary trading Cy Group, I am thinking of joining their cluub but I don't know whether they are legit or not because their offer is very tempting.

Hello everyone.

This is my first post. Not much to say about me. I've been '"live "trading for about 2yrs with no/little luck...

I have bought softwares and books and stuff but nothing seems to be quite good enough. I have a day job so all that I can do for the moment is trading the US Stock Market day bars. I am not trying to break-the-bank. A steady 2K a month on trading will do....so I joined in and see If you fellas can help me figured it out.

Welcome to the forum, I wonder about the software that you've bought,
and how do you use it for trading? Could you share with us on this.

Cheers,
