Any punters living in Birmingham Area interested in a Pie, Pint and jaw, one evening in a pub in Birmingham area.
Personally interested in small time investing(gambling), developing an appetite for CFDs. Also developing an interest in Charting or TA.

mg - I moved from cable to BPM5 a while back - check it out - it's like forex thru SETS, so you can make market. Trades 23 hours a day - so time to take a pee, and can hedge with FX if u get a sharp movement whilst closed. Currently trading 15 or 16 points lower, converging for end of June. Spread typically 2 points. Trading costs (through etrade) mean you need less than 2 points to make profit.

Enjoyed the evening and looks like we all got home OK.

Will have a gander at ITQ sometime today MG.

I see the Monster MOB Is up another 6% so far today.

Same time same place next month Is fine by me Fred.

55011 - 25 May 2005 10:28 - 57 of 1427

Good morning. Tuesday 21st June is OK with me.

I see oil is creeping up again. Over 49$ this morning. US stock futures weaker. Not boding so well..........

Fred1new - 07 Jun 2005 10:10 - 58 of 1427

OK next meeting at

Tuesday 21st June at 4.30 pm.

The Anchor.
308 Bradford Street,
B5 6ET.

Still thinking about stop losses.

Anybody any ideas of topics. Can print some charts if wished

Stan - 07 Jun 2005 11:32 - 59 of 1427

Yes the 21st June at 4.30 pm. Is fine for me Fred.

I know for well that I should use stop losses and stick to them

for everything but still find that hard.

No topics spring to mind yet, but nearer the date perhaps.

55011 - 14 Jun 2005 16:27 - 60 of 1427

Time to bring this back onto the front page, to give folk a chance to get it into their diaries.

Things not looking too bad overall, FTSE at or about 5050. And the chance to enjoy a week of L2 on the house all the while.

Fred1new - 14 Jun 2005 17:00 - 61 of 1427

55011 Yes things are looking a bit brighter for the last couple of weeks. The puzle for me is my portfolio tends to be going up more when the market goes down a bit. Strange. I have recently printed out the Holdings in my portfolio according to weight of holding. Surprise me a bit. Might be a topic for a chat.
I am not certain how much the exchange rates against the dollar is playing a part in the recovery or the effect of the demised of constitution vote and EU Friction.

Any other ideas.


Have a look at CSN, BRW, CASH, PDC, SEO? and BPRG, got a feeling the latter will have broken out of down trend by then.


I any want a graph printed for the meet let me know.

Have a nice and """properous Week""" or two.

Fred1new - 14 Jun 2005 17:09 - 62 of 1427

Any of you use Trix momentum Indicator?

Stan - 15 Jun 2005 11:10 - 63 of 1427

Never heard of It Fred, what are there claims?

Fred1new - 15 Jun 2005 17:27 - 64 of 1427

UUUUUUUUUUUU Not sure but it looks pretty. Actually is the average of the average with another average acting as a trigger. Seems crazy but when I apply it to holdings it does tie in with SP movement. Not sure.



"""""""""""The TRIX indicator is a momentum indicator displaying the percentage rate of change of the share price after applying three successive exponential moving averages. The aim of the TRIX is to track trends that are at least the specified period in length.

The TRIX tends to be plotted with a 9 day signal line to help in its interpretation. There are a couple of popular methods used to interpret the TRIX.


To buy shares when the price turns up and to sell when it turns down.

To buy shares when the TRIX rises above its signal line and sell when it falls below the signal line.

As with many such momentum indicators, the TRIX indicator works best in trending markets.

Well, not bad week all in all. Another few bob up, and if the crude doesn't get out of hand, maybe a bit more to come. See you on Tuesday. If the weather stays as it is today (almost 30 degrees) we'll be hammering that tasty mild.......

Stan - 20 Jun 2005 18:42 - 66 of 1427

Just bringing this to the top for any new Interested parties... getting thirsty already 55!

Fred1new - 20 Jun 2005 20:06 - 67 of 1427

mg - 21 Jun 2005 08:31 - 68 of 1427

Sorry guys. Won't be able to make it tonight. Have one (or two) on me.

Hope you've all got a shedfull of MDW - rady for action next week when all the Willy Doctors get together to hear about MDW's PSAWatch and the company announce a big deal with the US ;)

Fred1new - 21 Jun 2005 15:12 - 69 of 1427

Thank MG.I will put the drinks on your slate.

Stan - 22 Jun 2005 09:28 - 70 of 1427

Another enjoyable meeting, hope you all got home OK.

Fred1new - 22 Jun 2005 09:50 - 71 of 1427

Yes I think I am home.

Enjoyable evenening, put the world to right once again, move over Tony.

Will check the calendar later to-day.

Have a nice day.

55011 - 22 Jun 2005 10:32 - 72 of 1427

Yes, another cracking session. The end of evening sprint was well justified,as I got the train with just two minutes to spare, and snatched a quick "last orders" and fish 'n chips (in lieu of pie!) at Leamington Spa. The Banks wasn't quite as good as the tasty stuff we enjoyed in the Anchor, though. World seemed a bit slow to start with this morning.......


Still, passing FTSE 5100 as I write. Stan should be happy .....

Regards

Fred1new - 22 Jun 2005 17:16 - 73 of 1427

Stan Reflecting on chat last evening I said last night that I thought FT 100 owuld be 6400 I think I meant 5400 by this time. Ah well.

Stan - 22 Jun 2005 17:20 - 74 of 1427

Yep...5400 sounds more like It to me Fred.

Tempted to cash In my MOB today despite the fact that I think they will break that 320p hump sooner rather then later.

Only reason being that I don't want to be holding over my Hol. period.
