Hello everyone,
I'm trying to work out how much I should invest in short term trades, buy and then sell within days and weeks rather than hold for months... I have never done this before but I have been doing a lot of research and getting advice on which stocks I should trade.
Now I know that...
hi
while i've been waiting for the market to start to rise again, i've been studying how to trade in other directions (i need the money , so that's why ). i came across one of Hull's systems designed for falling and sideways markets (short term trading). do you anyone tried it b4? reckon...
Hi guys i was wondering everyone's point of view about holding positions over earnings releases, when trading a short term discretionary system. Do you hold the position or find it too risky and sell in the lead up?
does anyone trade shares (short term, end of day) in horizontal (ranging) markets successfully? bedford (author) reckons one could opt to not trade them when the market is going sideways while Hull suggests his 'breakout' method. I'm guessing it's harder to make profits during these times, or...
hi
for people who trade shares short term, they tend to use advanced charting software to scan for share candidates. what if we are shorting dma based share-cfds? should one conveniently use the same software to scan for share opportunites (in my case, downward moving shares), but then just...
Hi,
I have been short term trading for about 3 months.. have clocked up quite a few trades, most of which last between a day and a week. Its not strictly day trading ie buy and sell the same day. I aim for that but sometimes Mr Market does whatever he wants :rolleyes: and it takes a little...
i've been day trading, but holding for a few days, using the stocks that have most high gains reported for the day.eg medusa a few days ago, ten, quantas, and other. it seems that it's not too hard to make money. i'm getting profits. am i missing something? i thought it was really hard to make...
A tactic I've used for a few years, I did not invent it but I have added my own twist to it. Accuracy is so-so but gives great risk to reward ratios. Trades the short term move on end of day bars. Counter swing trade for those brave enough to jump in on it. Not easy when you are going long very...
Hi guys, I'm a newbie and I had a look through some of the sticky threads but couldn't find my answer there.
What I don't understand in short term trading is how people avoid paying huge amounts of brokerage? For example I have some shares I bought a while ago using Nabtrade for buy-and-hold...
Hey, new member and beginner here. Have read a few books on mid and long term trading, however now would like to study shorter term trading. Something using daily charts whereby shares are usually sold within 1-4 weeks of buying them. Does anyone know of such a book that is good for new and...
Wanted to exchange information and ideas about how short term traders trade.
Rather than only a couple of experienced people contributing and everyone else asking them questions on their entires and exits, i'm thinking more about what study/research and homework people who are still in the...
I've had a few too many this year where I get caught with the unexpected capital raising, resulting in a sudden decline in share price while the instos get their fill of cheap shares.
Can someone suggest a way of filtering out possible cap raising candidates? I don't want to have to trawl...
Hi all,
I'm usually a swing and position trader so my knowledge in this area isn't as strong.
I'm trying to understand the shorter term mindset, and I'd just like to know what are the main types of trading strategies for short term traders.
As far as I can tell there are 3 or 4 main...
I'm not sure if this will escape the local censorship board, but it dawned on me while posting in the MQG thread, that there are currently a number of opportunities around for short term trading of big name stocks. This enables a reasonable return without having to visit the more speccie end of...
