"If everyone knew how to use Level II and in fact did so, then those who use it now would presumably lose their cutting edge. So you have to ask yourself whether teachers, trainers, coaches of Level II ( call em what you like ) are really sincere about teaching people how to use Level II...

Sorry to say that I have given up looking in here with a modem connection. I wonder how many others there are doing the same? On a positive note it seems pretty fast with broadband.

Everything you can ever need you'll find in an order book. The story of the tape tells all.

But are you an experienced trader consistently making profits? No I'm a rookie Bramble can't you see :-) I have tried system trading many many times, looking at various strategies, markets, backtesting etc.. but it's too boring for me. The past is a guide for the future IMHO however I prefer...

You have described the best way to trade IMHO, it's certainly the way I trade and it's perfect for my personality. Horses for courses. To call this approach "obscure" is obscure in itself. Are you new to the markets or just been around system traders all your life?? :-) Sorry Bramble: Fully...

PKfrer, As many have said you are not alone in your experience. I feel all traders go through this educational process until we find a way that works for the individual. If your education costs you 20k it's cheap IMHO, it cost me much more. What you will find even more frustrating, is when you...

A lot of wise words on this thread - students!!!!

JK, there is a slight difference in what we are saying :-) no little about how markets operate. (should be know!) and what you say: b) have a good understanding of the markets and Good luck :-)

Andrew, with all due respect take your money and go on a course. Spread betting companies are crooks and prey on people who have a dream and no little about how markets operate. To answer your questions: It depends if they are going up or down. However they will only effect the market if the...

SSRT has a scanner for uk stocks and I use various scanners for the US market (real time, EOD and pe-market).
