    How much can you rely on technical analysis alone?

    I take tech over fundamentals..... that is unless I have feeling to fade the fundamentals 'cos the world and his wife is looking at those and using them to justify their book and beat me round the head as to why cable can't go any lower / higher .....

    How much can you rely on technical analysis alone?

    much less than 50% - you can give two technical analysts the same chart and they will get two differnet views...they probably couldn't agree on how to draw a trend line....having said that I personally like techy analysis - but only in that it gives me a starting point on something to agree or...

    Why can't I stop myself from jumping in???

    I cant seem to learn my lesson - is it greed, boredom, lack of motivation, lack of enthusiasm, all of these??? Mate - I dunno - do you feel bored when you put a trade on? do you feel like you are lacking in enthusiasm? do you feel like you are lacking in motivation? I dunno - is it all...

    £200 a day trading

    Good luck with your endevours James - no reason why you can't make money if you put in the work and stay focused. May be an idea to not set too rigid a target on what you will aim to make - (because you should be looking to run your profits) - but look at money management and know in advance...

    £200 a day trading

    James - why £200 a day.....why not £100....or £50 ...or the other end of the scale £1000..... £200 is acheivable but wondered why this specific amount..... And one other thing - how much time will you be able to devote to taking this £200 quid a day out of the market ...I may be wrongly...

    Cable opinions...

    DavieG - have you thought about setting stop profits at predetermined levels and splitting your position so that you can run half and take half a profit at a target level? Alternatively split possy in three - set longer term level for stop profit, run one third and ona shorter time frame...

    Advice for new member

    Akisha - from your earlier post it seems to me that you have made your mind up already that this is a good idea for you and I can only assume you are asking specifically about the company and not the pros and cons of the set up? I know nothing of this company but I have my own views on handing...

    The fate of a trader

    Didn't Depth Trade state in his original post; "There's a 180k traders on this site, yet not one of them can make money using the same techniques or analysis." So, by that reasoning how can the Headless Duck say Dino is telling porkies when Dino says he makes money from 10 min charts.... if...

    Positive Attitude = Win at Trading ?

    depends on your attitude - I place trades intraday - but I am not looking to job the market - which I personally found was a waste of energy....but if you have a tested plan, decent stops and disclipline you should be able to scalp for pips without it becoming stressful...back to the confidence...

    Positive Attitude = Win at Trading ?

    I make RWB right... I think "pma" can often be used as an excuse for not putting the hard graft in....and shouldn't be confused with the confidence that comes from doing reserach, having a plan and good money management ....how many people buy a lottery ticket with a "PMA" knowing the odds are...

    Anyone Trade Reversals using Orders?

    Does work if you trade aligned with major trend and place orders within supp/resist. Tried it with cable on the way up and it works but does require a reasonable sized s/l. Squeezes in cable subsequent to new highs being made - provide oppurtunities for orders to open to get hit and get in at...
