Carvaggio:
Look at "beyond Candleticks" by Steve Nison who is also an author of
"japanese candlestick charting techniques"

I found his language and explanations very detailed and informative.

David Jones (Limpsfield Chartist) is the TA guy, I will ask him to suggest a few good TA books.

Could one of you please tell me a share that will go up at least 20% this week cos I lost a packet yesterday on S. Africa

Cheers

LITTLE WOMAN - many thanks for your reply

2002/3 Losses v 2003/4 Capital Gains. Do you know if I can offset last years 5 fig. losses against my gains for this year, once my CGT allowance has been used. thx.

Croc... you mentioned multiple monitors... any info on cost, software and supplier? As I am in my 1st year of full time trading is there an ideal no. of monitors I should consider. thx

Previous years losses are offset against current year profit before CGT allowances (Allowances are always the last deduction to be made when working out CGT liability).

Losses are also set off after indexation but before taper relief, so it is alway best to offset against assets with the lowest taper relief. But you can offset enough losses so that you can after taper relief claim the CGT allowance and c/fwd balance to following year. (Although there are other factors that may have to be taken into account)

Now you understand why accountants charge so much to work out CGT and guess what their fee is not tax deductable!

When is this new MoneyAM terminal going live do we have a date?

D,

Croc / little woman thanks for your quick reply. Its very useful having this source of help when u are sitting trading alone at home and not sure where to get the info. thanks.

Ahhhh!

Help! Anyone out there a previous Nothing Ventured user? They've sold out to Fastrade and we've all been moved over to that site.

What a mess - this Fastrade site is crap. I'm so pissed off I can hardly type this message. NV was such a brilliant trading tool and now we've got this. What the hell are they playing at. Couldn't those numbskulls at Charles Stanley see that the NV site was much superior to there own and use that instead and just stick their Fastrade badge onto it.

Any ex-NV users please let me know what your thoughts are today.

I have started a new thread to discuss the NV/Fastrade issue.

Please post your comments there as I intend to email them all to Fastrade to let them know how dissatisfied we are. This is the link:

or search under the epic code of NV.

The title of the thread is Nothing Ventured vs Fastrade.

Many thanks.

I have just sold a share and noticed on the moneyam live prices that whilst the details are spot on the sell is recorded as a buy,in view of this can we rely on live prices anymore as regards acuracy.

Thank You.

Stan
There is no such thing as a buy or sell on a list of trades. Ie for every buyer there is a seller. So the software which calculates the buy & sells has to make some guess if the spread is tight and moving.

Any reason why I'm not seeing any trades going through on my trades screen until about 20mins later?

I've had a look with various stocks eg LLOY shows last trade as 9:05 for me.

was ok yesterday.

thanks.

ricardopage - e are aware that tere is a problem at the moment, which we are currently working on.

Please accept my apologies for the inconvenience.

Dear Dil,

Stick to ironing. Rugby and shares obviously aren't your forte.
