Thank you, MMS! I deal primarily (exclusively) in stocks. Those with a history of large, dependable dividends: AGNC, EVEP, NLY, Etc. I'm "scanning the globe" for as much information as possible so as to make sense of the various dates involved, so I don't have money tied up when I don't need to...or, worse, miss out on the divvy entirely. That hasn't happened as of yet!

 

Thank you for the welcome..Best wishes to all! J.

 

I trade stocks too ... NLY is one of my current holdings. Great dividend but a little worried about their business model when interest rates rise. From your note are you dividend scalping? How is that working out for you?

Hi folks,

 

I'm brand spanking new to TL, just joined today, and this is my first post. I've thought about trading the markets for quite sometime, but only recently decided to take the plunge and start climbing the learning curve.

 

I think I'm at the point where I'm beginning to know what I don't know, which is probably a pretty good place to be (certainly better than not knowing what you don't know).

 

Anyway, I look forward to learning from all of you.

G'Day all,

 

Another newby, this time from Australia (i've noticed a few Aussie's on here already).

 

I've been learning for about 3 years now, and am currently working on my mechanical system, which will be (at least initially) focussing on equities on the ASX.

 

I have the structure of the system sorted, and am now testing and refining the concepts.

 

Have already read some great material on TL, and am looking forward to learning from the crew here. Hopefully I can occasionally add another view to the topics discussed.

 

Cheers!!

 

P.S. - Love the TL lab flask logo.

Iwshares, I read a new book called "The Gartley Trading Method".. Ross Beck has written a book to which I wish I had read 4 years ago when I started trading, it would have saved me Thousands of Dollars and years of time. Through the writings of this new book, Ross Beck has removed the complicated misunderstandings of Gartley, Elliott and Gann and combined them into a simply trading method that is easy to understand even for the beginner. The book compliments his low cost video course now available with the opportunity for anyone who wants to succeed in the trading business with a reliable mechanism. This mechanism is one that has reduced the risk of failure and increased the opportunity for success more now then ever before. I know of no better method (mechanism) on the market today that could even remotely compare to this one. Without question, Ross Beck has shared with the world a method of tremendous value and I cannot praise him enough. The author also provides a strategy for entry and exit for this success to happen.

Hi Guys

I have been trading for a while losing money and making it back, basically a back and forth scenario without being consistently profitable. I hope I can learn from all of you and take my trading to a new level.

Thanks

Hi !

 

I have been trading for last 5 years, have lost quiet some money. Trading on Demo a/c for last 2 years. I seem to have a startegy in place but many times feel "trigger-shy". Have to get rid of this and then do the same when doing real trading.

    • Date: 10th May 2024. The BoE To Cut Rates In September. US Employment Data Falters!     The UK economy experiences its strongest growth since August 2023, with Monthly GDP increasing 0.4%, four times higher than expectations. The Bank of England saw 2 out of 9 members vote for an interest rate cut. The dovish members of the BoE are Dr Swati and Sir Ramsden. The BOE Governor, Mr Bailey, said two rate cuts are likely in 2024 as “one cut will keep us in restrictive territory”. However, he advises there is a higher chance the first cut will come in September. The UK’s FTSE100 declines close to 0.20% as the UK’s GDP reading indicates an interest cut is less likely to take place in June 2024. GBPUSD – The UK Economy Moves Out of a Technical Recession! The GBPUSD over the past 24-hours has been influenced by three factors: the monetary committee’s votes, the Governor’s guidance and the UK’s latest GDP figure. The GBPUSD first fell to a 2-week low due to the higher number of votes for an interest rate cute. However, the GBPUSD has since risen 0.77%. Therefore, how can traders view the price movement and the latest developments?   A large factor influencing the pricing is whether the regulator is likely to adjust its policy in June or September. A rate cut in September would support the GBP as it would keep rates higher for longer compared to the Eurozone and other competitors. The Monetary Policy Committee votes indicates the BoE is almost ready to cut rates. The Governor also said they wish to steadily move away from a restrictive policy. In the UK a restrictive monetary policy is 5.00% and above. The reason for the price increase is the Governor indicating that there is a higher possibility the regulator will cut in September not June. In addition to this, the strong economic growth confirmed this morning further lowers the possibility of a cut in June. This is because there is less pressure on the BoE to support a stagnated economy. Therefore, a rate cut is now likely to take place in September 2024, which is on par with the Federal Reserve’s guidance for its own policy.   The Federal Reserve and The US Dollar The US Dollar on Thursday evening was considerably pressured by the Weekly Unemployment Claims, which normally has a limited affect. The US Unemployment Claims rose to 231,000, higher than predictions of 212,000 and the highest since November 2023. Therefore, the US has seen lower NFP data, higher unemployment rate and now higher unemployment claims. This has investors questioning if the US employment sector may be weakening for the first time since raising interest rates. If so, the Federal Reserve may consider a cut in July. Currently, the CM Exchange’s tool shows a 30.8% chance of a cut in July, if this figure rises, the US Dollar could potentially weaken.   GBPUSD – Technical Analysis Technical analysis indicates the price of the GBPUSD may rise to the previous resistance levels between 1.25650 and 1.25936. However, if the market continues to price a Fed rate cut in September, it is improbable the exchange rate will reach the resistance level at 1.26340. The exchange rate currently trades above most trend lines such as the 75-Bar EMA and is above the 60.00 mark on most RSI periods. The price has slightly retraced since rising after the GDP announcement. For this reason, the buy signal has turned into a neutral. However, if the price rises above 1.25362, the buy signal may materialize again.   Always trade with strict risk management. Your capital is the single most important aspect of your trading business.
