  1. Good afternoon. I have recently started my diploma work in my university about trading robots on stock market. There are a lot of books about stock markets and automated trading systems, so i really need help here... I have started with Pardo and Barry Johnson's books and technical analysis by achelis. Are these bookes good enough? or can you recommend other books about strategies, indicators, theory or any other info, that would be helpful? Thank you!

     

    You can't expect to learn this stuff from books.

     

    People writing books have absolutely no clue about that. None who is making $$$ with this stuff would ever think to waste a minute to write a sentence for a book :crap:


  2.  

    I know this topic is highly subjective, but I am looking into other options..just trying to get some good input..thanks in advance

     

    Commodities tend to fluctuate quicker than indices and currencies (longer "waves").

     

    If you are contrarian (doesn't seem you are), commodities, especially energy is better.

     

    Bear ETFs when have a high peak tend eventually to have a very long slide down, which can be easy $$$.

     

    :crap:


  3. Hello all- Questions from a 'newbie', hoping someone here can help answer the following: ...

     

    Thanks for any help or providing some suggestions as to where I can find this info.

    Hope you all are having a profitable season.

     

    Use options to recover margins (and also protect).

     

    Now have also been introduced the new "mini-option" which are quite convenient

    (with a 10 multiplier)


  4. > Technicals or Fundamentals

     

    Neither one. Trading is not about prediction ...:crap:

     

    Most short term traders trade on technical data because the fundamental data is too slow. I would rank ability to read tape and technical as more important for most trading styles. However, it pays not to be a "one dimensional trader"... that means understanding how larger institutional traders may be viewing the market based on global macro news and events.

     

    The dichotomy between technical vs fundamental is flawed. You need to know what drives your market..
