Trading Big Numbers

What are Big Numbers?

6000 in the ASX / SPI
$5.00 for Telstra etc
$1.00 for any Stock.

Any more?
 
here's a big number-

197 456 897 234 000 000.

Not quite sure how I'd trade it, but it looks like a good short to me.

you wanted big numbers I gave you one.

Maybe you should clarify exactly what the point of this thread is.
If you want a big stockmarket number, here's one-
46 452
 
This could turn out to be a lot of fun :D
as well as very educational.
 
Have you ever noticed how 'Big Numbers' often become:
Very Strong Resistance and then Support?
 
This is a joke thread is it :confused:

Shouldn't it be merged to the one that already exists?

Just have a look at $5.00 for Telstra

6000 on the ASX200 / SPI

Majority of Stock charts.
 
Why would we have called 4180 as a BIG Number?

Ask Nick Radge, we did & I will explain.....
 
no reason Bronte. It's been the high for the day and sounds impressive when you put BIG NUMBERS in bold before it. Isn't that what this thread is about, BIG NUMBERS.

To take it even further, I predict that every single turning point today on the nikkei will be at a round number ending in zero. Today's low has been 18050 and it's high 18150. On track so far!

I've had my fun now.

Carry on people :)

I can understand 18000 or 18144 or 18500 or 19000 :)

What about 90210 i hear thats a BiG number and a GGGGGREAT show (yeah right lol) So what is the point of these numbers and their significance as i am not a mind reader and am not sure where this is heading (Except maybe to ZERO) Bye now :confused:
 
Many of the 'Great Masters' knew of and traded these 'Big Numbers'
For example: Edwin Lef'evre wrote about Jesse Lauriston Livermore's
use of them for trading the ticker tape in the 1923 book:
'Reminiscences of a Stock Operator'
One of the greatest traders of all time and a really good read.
