    Great point re the NSX, now that is a brilliant machine!

     

    No license needed this side of the pond for auctions but I would never buy there, it is a dodgy game unless you really know what your doing as there are so many dogs sold esp the better cars, unless its something like COYs when they are so rare and exotic they go for millions!

     

    I'm not fussed about making money on cars if I was I would have been a motor dealer, just want to enjoy quality motors for free! :)

    I think thats a really hard one... I think that the 670-SV will be because its the last of the Murci's and its the most hard core version yet.

     

    Honestly I don't see the Scud's or 16M's appreciating that much...

     

    I think the Carrera GT is a steal right now (prices have been dropping during the '07 collapse and are starting to bounce up again). I think its an iconic car and its limited production and current prices all lean towards good appreciation.

     

    Maybe the Enzo... the Bugatti and Reventon's are out as far as i'm concerned because I think the pricing is ludicrous as is - let alone thinking they will appreciate that much beyond where they are right now.

     

    Agreed on the SV long term although shorter term dip imo. Also agree on the Carrera GT and Enzo for sure.

     

    The Vyrons, Reventon, One 77, Pagini and Konig are all just mental and price is not even worth talking about.

     

    My thoughts were Ferrari 550, 575, 355, 456, Porker 993 esp turbo / RS spec.

     

    I guess what im thinking of is future classics, and sports cars you can use and lose without paying for the pleasure in hefty depreciation.:)

    Ok heres a Q for you guys, i know its a slight diversion of the thread but.....

     

    What cars are going to appreciate going forwards and are desirable, I should say excluding already stupid priced exotics such as Ferrari 250 GTO and so on.

     

    I have a few ideas of my own but interested as to others thoughts.

    us poor us folk never got the 996 gt3rs stateside... and hell even normal gt3's are still around 60k here. Still a 20k premium over a turbo!

     

    Gutted thats a bummer.:(

    Bingo... was sooooo close to going the E46 route but the subframe issues scared me not to mention it seemed like there were TONS of normal maintenance things you had to do... RTAB bushings, shims, etc.

     

    I second the 996 vote. Only thing you have to watch out for is RMS leaks, which are easy to spot ahead of purchase and if the clutch has been replaced most likely it won't be an issue anyway. Other than that the entire car is practically bomb proof.

     

    Seems like the best bang for the buck. Personally I just can't get over the front bumpers on the 99-01 C2/C4's... I'd have to up the ante to a C4S or Turbo... Normal mileage turbos can be had for under 40k.... Thats a 100-120k discount off sticker folks... and it is a true supercar. Don't know of much that can touch its performance potential out of the box for less money.

     

    996 gt3RS are only circa £50k that is a lot of bang for your buck.

     

    All 996 are cheep due to the ugly light/front bumper combo.

     

    Edit, to add also Porsche is no longer a rare super-car marque and now a mainstream to high end mass producer.

    It is not a question of "IF THIS SETUP OR ANY OTHER WILL WORK", it is whether or not after having carried out the required research , testing, establishing entry/exit rules, that the trader sets about acquiring the skill, discipline, patience etc TO MAKE IT WORK

     

    Brutusdog pointed out the inverted hammer 3 bars back, yes that is a valid setup, this time the trade is stopped out, then we have another immediate setup, again this is a valid setup, now as BF points out, is the trader still wringing his hands, moaning, banging his head against the desk, kicking the wife or the dog whichever happens to be in the vicinity over the loss on the last trade or has trained himself after having proved to him/herself the consistency in profitability of that particular setup over time, to be mentally prepared and available for the next trade.

     

    As to the placement of stops, again this is getting into tactics as BF stated, there are just so many variations, the logical stop is normally over the previous swing high or low, but for some this could be too wide.

     

    great post bb exactly what i was getting at.

    good memory wasp!

     

    in my case always done both, maily cable and dow. dow is my main now as i can get a few solid hours in each night.

     

    the onset of full time trading will see me exploring fx again, probably just the main ones and on a larger t/f than im operating on now. great work on the 1000 pip btw well done....probably makes the events of earlier in the week seem distant now. you still taking a break?

    Nice early morning drop here. I would say the initial trade worked or was stopped depending on stop placement. If stopped, a re-entry may have been valid. That part depends on the money management aspect of the system.

     

    it would be interesting to hear how different traders would enter these trades....

     

    i assume the traditional would be to enter on a break past the pin/spinner with a stop past the high/low of the bar. however this might be impractical in terms of r/r....also there is the issue of when to exit at a fixed point or to close 1 lot at a fixed target and run the remainder with a trailing stop at the 9 or 20 ema.
