anyone out there palying the indexes and using spreadbetting

cac40

gann
rsi

MarketMaker is what I've been practising with. Very good bit of software, I'm quite impressed.

Thanks for the t2w tip. I hadn't come across that one before. It's amazing how much free information there is out there on the net.

Doug

hi doug,
the other site that is free and with tons of info is called
www.fillyaboots.com

give it a try and keepm your thoughts and ideas going on this thread

Why don't all of you stop following the 'Muppet's Index' i.e. the Dow Jones and start following a real trader's index like the S+P or the Nasdaq Composite ??

As for not using technicals and concentrating on sentiment indicators, I'd add bulletin boards and chat rooms to the list of indicators worth following - just do the opposite once everyone is an expert as to why it's going up/down !

All the above sites look ok although get a bit fed up with all the adverts all over the place !

Magician,
It's rare to get a consencus on a BB.
Having said that the number of bears on
the US Traders thread is amazing considering
the direction of the Dow & S&P so your hypothesis
has a lot going for it.

magician:
can you give ideas as to where can get good ( free sites) to get Ta analysis etc. AND you are quite right in your comments as we all at timesw conform to "herd mentality"

Hi Zarif !

In my experience you get what you pay for ! I've found that on a lot of the free sites the info's not actually that helpful or too vague etc.

For TA I'd start with the charting package on E-trade's system - it's a reasonably basic system - if u want something a bit more advanced then ESignal seems to cover most things. As for financial sites there are tons out there, but most are #### ! 1 i've found useful over time is the harry hindsight service - it's not a tip site - they trade their own money - that's what i like ie not just sitting there spouting crap ! Site has good technical levels and analysis of what's going on. Think they still run a free trial then u have to pay monthly. Having said that - they've saved my skin a few times now so don't mind paying.

M.

dear M,
can u give me the URl for the harry hindsight service.

The market is bullish.

Check this out The bullish percent Index: http://stockcharts.com/def/servlet/SC.web?c=$BPNYA,uu[h,a]daclyyay[pb5][vc60][iLl14]&pref=G

The Dow broke above the 55 day high yesterday.

snoball:
brilliant information and i think that you must put the site address for all
the newbies and oldies to bookmark for charts etc. I have not done it as it is yours to give them.

thanks again

I find the Charles Schwab Europe site quite useful for TA. The charts are a little small but you can display multiple indicators and shares on the same graph. There is also a basic glossary of all the indicators which gives you the theory behind their use.
