Traders' Roundtable

To be honest probably so,

In the unfortunate event this happens, I would be very glad to post any lessons learnt so others may avoid a similar fate..

I have never had so much confidence as I have now, Something to to with trusting myself to do whatever it takes in any given market situation..
I ...

I am still quite young and irreverant, however, I have just become the proud owner of a seven figure year!

In the beginning of 2007 I lost a hundred and fifty grand in three days of hell and torture in the european S+P/MIB..

I met Ed in a London hotel bar when I was eighteen..

He is the most amazing guy you would ever meet seriously, very nice down to earth bloke.

After making a total turkey of myself by way of flattery, we had about a five minute conversation before he had to go and give a two hour lecture.

He said ...

I have posted two charts Dow and Ftse100,

This proves that: SUPPORT BECOMES RESISTANCE AND RESISTANCE BECOMES SUPPORT.

This phenominon happens time and time and time again, with ALL markets and ALL time scales...

This helps when say, you are buying off the trendline along with other supporting ...

BARLI,

I feel that upon re-reading our recent conversation, I seem very patronising, though I didnt mean to, SoZ.

I do understand historical potential, however I just dont trust the data mate.....No trusto un data'o

1+2+3---Sliip--- =62.555....etc

I wish there was a few chartists here though ...

Laters.

Dude!!

Thanks for the short reply!

I do not wish to disrespect your methods of testing, However, (sucks in a long breath!!), I agree wholeheartedly that the MACD does NOT work using the mechanical perameters you have set.

I also never implied that it did so...If you just buy on the signal line ...

Hi Barli.

In relation to what you said, I suppose you could say time decay is the risk you have when trading options, I mean nobody makes money in a sideways market.
You might say well with futures or shares you have more time to become 'right', but that sounds like wishing to me.

My point was to ...

Hey Dude,

In relation to historical testing, and computer code.
I am unsure if a computer could, for instance, combine volume, momentum, volatility and cycle analysis.

I am also confident that backtesting of historical data works to a degree, But I cannot see how it would, for example, manage ...

I know you can only fold a cloth seven times equally in half..

This is therefore, a mathematical hypothetical..

If you fold a cloth napkin- (1/32 of an inch thick)- upon itself once, how thick is it?

Obviously its (1/16 of an inch).

Folded upon itself a second time, its thickness measures (1/8 ...

Hang on..Hang on.....Just a minuuuute..

Guys its not the same...I am shocked :shock:..See!

Option gearing allows you to gain exposure greater amounts of shares for less initial cash outlay..

Example:
Glaxo shares are trading at 1773p per share, and you think the shares will rise... So you buy ...

Yeah, it accually is the truth, though im refering to options and spread betting where it is quite commonplace to run £400.00 into £4000.00. This is due to heavy gearing..
I wasnt trying to compare this to the annual returns of George Soros or Warren Buffet.. DO you guys understand gearing?? I ...

Hi'ya Again folks..
Thanks for your comments.. After looking over my posts again I will concede to having being a little garbled , And for which I appologise...
I assure you though that my intents are completely innocent and just. May also say that I've been using charting since last year and I ...

Hey Forum Mgmnt,
I have read about how two mechanical systems, using the same selection criterior, starting on different dates can produce opposite results..How can this be?
How, for example, does one know if the mechanical system is performing poorly, or if market conditions have changed ...

Hi Turtle40...
Yeah you are quite correct and thanks for pointing it out. I have checked and apparently most swans are white , so when one sees a black swan it is a suprise hence
the analogy...
I think I was confused by the shape of a swan on my chart!! Dont laugh !! Oh well we all know what a ...
