[richgit69] 06/12/2002 00:05

rates unchanged thats bad IMO

[dieng] 05/12/2002 22:08

Hilary ... just wondered which TA software you use.
Asking as I need to change. Updata (don't all laugh at once) is a waste of my valuable time.

richgit,

I like bearer of good news :-)

[richgit69] 05/12/2002 21:43

intel results look good shares up afterhours they added another 30c from close ;-)

[axdpc] 05/12/2002 21:42

hilary, Big Al, thanks.

Will keep you informed of my oil findings, if any.
One year UKX to SHEL average ratio is 9.92, standard deviation of 0.47.

With oil and banks having very high weighting on FTSE100, no wonder FTSE
doesn't move up much when banking and oils are under the tosh ...
ob/os or not, with DOW down so much, it will be long faces tomorrow :-(

axdpc - on oil prices. Personally don't watch them as BP & SHEL are so out of any comparison with the oil price IMO. I think I said this the other day as well. You might try this, but it is far from real-time - sorry!



Found this though whilst searching around



forwood - sorry you're not donig well. I'm still lumbering and like many finding things rather difficult to read. Keep missing the really good buy/sell signals and trying to play catch-up. Extremely difficult and confidence still very low, which doesn't help.

tbm - you are correct according to Elder, which is what I used as my reference. I am however finding ever more problems with that theory, but then I've been finding many "classic" signals are becoming harder to rely on. I find myself reverting to the absolute basics like support/resistance and trends.

Good night all!

axdpc,

I use 3rd party TA software which expresses ob/os conditions as a percentage and runs an algorithmn from eod ohlcv data to give support and resistance levels for the following days trading.

I'm not saying that mine's a perfect system (I've been whipsawed in this market a fair bit just lately), but it's a numbers game and, if you adhere rigidly to the strategy, overall you'll be the right side of the market more often than you'll be the wrong side of it. That's the important thing, imo.

[tonyjackson@ireland.] 05/12/2002 20:05

forwood,larch etc.I reckon today was a very tricky day because of where the ftse is.Its too near the bottom of the range to short because the risk/return ratio is too high.Likewise its too early to long because it hasnt turned up yet.So I didn't trade and I reckon I was well out of it.Tomorrow may not be much better,but I'LL trade what I see in the morning, more likely to go long than short. Good luck all,got to go out now,will look in after 11.00.

[axdpc] 05/12/2002 19:06

Help needed.

Can anyone suggest how I can automate the download of ADVFN intraday charts
every night. It is time consuming and tedious to do it manually.
Don't mind learning a bit of programming to do it if someone can tell me what I
need.

Thanks.

howard, have you found anything??????

[skinny] 05/12/2002 18:40

Forwood - you are not alone - these are (for me) difficult times - with all of the current volatility, it should be a day traders paradise. I am not only calling wrong 3/1 but am mistiming entry/exit on the good calls and thus missing much of the potential gains. As Robbb posted above - for me its back to small punts with tight stops - and I'll have red tonight :-)

[axdpc] 05/12/2002 18:15

hilary,

What indicators do you use to determine whether the share (eg.ISYS) is
over-bought or over-bought?

[axdpc] 05/12/2002 18:08

Howard, I think UK share futures expires on 17 Dec ...

[jgp212] 05/12/2002 18:06

Next triple witching will be third
friday in Dec (I think)

[hilary] 05/12/2002 18:00

Woody,

Re ISYS.

1) It's been looking well overbought.
2) It broke support yesterday.

My personal strategy would be to trade it short now until either

1) It broke resistance, or
2) It looked oversold and there was an opportunity to bank profits into an intraday fall.

It's each to their own though.
