Thanks for an enjoyable day yesterday.

Must say I enjoyed Sputnik and Ruth & Jeff's spots.

Perhaps sitting at the front gave me an advantage but I fully understood everything you were trying to get over Ruth. It was great to see and understand. Thanks for being prepared to share your methods. Much appreciated.

H.

Ruth,

Will bring my own chip-buttie.......seems only fair....:-)))

SC

Thanks to everyone for making it such a good day. The best-behaved audience we ever had... :-)

Right, sorry for posting so late. I really did enjoy the day. Highlights for me were definately listening to the traders.

Tom H - always gives such a great presentation, thanks for talking about your stratergies etc and explaining them so well. Your enthusiasm for trading is great. I learnt something!

Sputnik - really well presented, it goes to show, simple charting techniques really can make you money!! By the way I also use MAs for support and resistance but tend to keep a check on them and change them to fit the situation as some trends use a 15 or 25 ma one day and a 10ma the next.

Ruth and Shogun. I have to say I really appreciated your efforts, ok so the market wasnt that great for you, but I know you are winning traders anyway, the fact you werent able to trade didnt bother me. It was how you traded and the set ups that I found really interesting.

Ruth I really wish I had longer to talk - it was unfortunate I had to rush back to Cumbria. It was really great to meet both you and Steph and put faces to names which I have seen on these boards daily for 4 yrs + now. I would really like to talk trading some more, (I am very isolated up here form the trading world!), particularly about a L2 set up which I have been using with charts. I always get inspired on the rare occasions I ever get to talk to another trader and I love to comprare stratergies etc.

I will send you an email as soon as I am back at my desk!

Thanks again

Adrian

Thanks for a great day....But I thought that all of my mis-conceptions were going to be highlighted and ridiculed.
They weren't,In fact I did not learn much more than that which I had already learned the hard way already. (Education is so much more poignant when there is a hundred quid to be wasted at every mistake, on the table). Even so I have never made anything on the markets.
So I know it all _---and still lose money!!
Well what do you think of that?

I actually mentioned this to Alan in the bar early on after the meeting, acting as the devils advocate so to speak.This was before the taxi arrived on time for once so I had to go.

Great day many thanks to all.

Most enjoyable, despite discrimination against us southerners by Manchester air traffic control, who wouldn't let us leave Southampton for ages and almost made me late - said the weather was bad - did you see any bad weather on Friday? bet they let all the other airy planes in.

Hope Ruth and Shogun can do it all again in a more accommodating time slot.

All the best and thanks for your welcome north west.

Cheers
Tony Lee

DSS - the market is less about how much you know and more about discipline in applying that knowledge.

Isaacs
Very good and very right.
The fact that you said it all in 17 words says all of it ...ta.

Hi All,
Glad you all had a good day.
Great to hear you would actually have liked to hear more of Sputnik and Ruth and Shoguns' presentations, after all, it is supposed to be a "TRADERS DAY"....Sorry Bully.....(Not Really!) You know I LOVE you really!


Graham, tried to e-mail you but it bounced back. Have you changed your details?
Please let Ruth know your current details.

Hey it was a great day.

But I'm not going anywhere near yorkshire puds next time - you didn't have the chippie fire lady in your lap Ruthie :S

Really enjoyed the day and many thanks to all that took part.
For myself Tom Hougaard was an in inspiration.Ruth and Shoguns slot was perfect,missed the kick but the discipline.........priceless!

A good day. Good company. Looking at the markets with renewed "positive expectations" this morning.

Well what a good day it is always good to meet like minded people .

Unfortunatly the slot ruth and me put on did not go as planed as time was against us, i can only apologise and say both ruth and myself were as dissapointed as you must have been,

Who was that mad woman who was harrassing everyone after the event, she scared peter(script) to death and then latched on to poor CC.

Shogun - That's Steph's new friend and pupil you are talking about. ;-)

Shogun - I seem to remember she thought your conversational skills needed improving. What she really meant was that she wanted to give you some tongue action ;-)))

CC, dont get him going, hes still having nightmares:-), as you can imagine weve taken the piss out of him all day today, were sending him on a course on how to tell someone to piss off poiltely instead of his usual 4 letter rant, and to a lady as well, no manners hey:-)

Steph gave me plenty of warning so I was careful to turn around and walk in the other direction went that woman started approaching. Very weird.

Shame your dad had gone to bed, Scrip :)

LOL!

Sorry my review of the day is so late....but here it is.....

Of all of the Traders Days MoneyAM hosts over the year, none quite matches the North West event for atmosphere and enthusiasm.

This year the event, held on Friday 11th November, moved to Manchester, in order to cater for the ever-increasing numbers of investors who like to come along, meet their peers and take part in what is a series of highly informative sessions covering many aspects of trading and investing.

The change of location this year proved not to detract from the tradition, attracting a record turnout, with visitors from every corner of the UK making the trip.

On the menu was a broad selection of presentations from a number of leading service providers and MoneyAM users themselves.

The proceedings were kicked off with an overview of the benefits of Level 2 data from Mike Boydell, along with advice on how to analyse it and make use of the information available to assist in trading shares successfully.

There followed informative presentations from Jon Scott of E*Trade on using direct market access and Gary Thomson of CMC Markets giving advice on Forex trading.

Tom Hougaard of CityIndex was on hand to give his unique off-the-wall analysis of the international financial picture always an eye-opener and always delivered with a perfect balance of humour and aplomb.

A new subject for Traders Days was presented by Sunil Jaswal of Reality Expansion, with an insight into how he created a lucrative property portfolio. Judging by the clamour of people who rushed to see Sunil during the lunch break, his ideas certainly struck a chord.

James Alexander of Zopa continued the alternatives theme with a fresh look at what makes the financial world go round and an insight into why Loan Exchanges are gaining in popularity.

MoneyAm Bulletin Board regular, Sputnik, gave the benefit of his experience as a swing and momentum trader, using examples from his own activities. Sputnik has been a successful private investor for many years and always has sound advice for his fellow BB users.

Regular Shares contributor and Global Markets Training lecturer, Peter Webb, treated the audience to an interactive session illustrating how he uses Betting Exchanges and maintains a success rate of between 90% and 95% by treating Horse Racing and Football betting in purely financial terms. He also outlined how his methods can also be applied to betting on indices. (During the break it was impossible to even see Peter as he was completely surrounded by the intrigued and the interested, eager to learn more.)

The closing event of the day was presented by Bulletin Board stalwarts, Ruth and Shogun, who provided a live trading session to demonstrate the methods they apply while jointly trading on a daily basis at home. Although it was a quiet time on the markets, they were able to illustrate their methods and decision-making processes. This was probably the most animated session of the day and proved a big hit with everyone.

There was time during breaks in the day for friends to meet and new acquaintances to be struck up. I was pleased to have had the opportunity to catch up with so many of the MoneyAM regulars and exchange experiences.

The feedback was great and will ensure that MoneyAM Traders Days continue to thrive in the future. Next years events are already being planned a return to Manchester in 2006 is guaranteed.
