Hi Guys, I joined this group several months ago with the intention of trading and learning the market.
I semi-retired and expected some time on my hands, but I have been busier than ever and not got around to the market ( I did buy and sell 4 stocks). You know, come home at dark, unload and reload the van for tomorrow, eat and browse a few posts but really too tired to concentrate.
Anyhow I think these 2 projects that are all time consuming will end in the next month (probably 2), so I plan to organise/setup during this time to trade.
Back in the 90's I used a program Insight Trader mainly to filter stock to view in detail. Currently I have no program and find it very hard to sort through the ASX to find a buy that I think looks worthwhile. Broker tips generally look below par and when checked later were usually duds.
I try to do TA rather than fundamentals but mainly are limited to trend lines that are trending up to be honest. This is the area I wish to learn and develop.
I see this group as being helpful and friendly and like to think this will be extended to myself as I know I will need it.
My SMSF will be looking for mid term stocks with dividends and my own money will be trading shorter term. Saying that I think I will sell my SMSF stocks if I see weakness in the stock, indices or the general market.
Firstly I need to purchase some software and data (providers) and learn how to use it.
I would appreciate some recommendations that I can sort through to see which I prefer.

Hey peeps, I'm new in this city of forum. Pretty good one in my first sight. I just love equity market, enabling me to join some forums today to learn, share and guide with the traders/investors here. I've got experiences in trading, but you can't be lonely for that.

Hi Austwide. Welcome to the forums. I tend to rely on FA and use the charts to look for momentum, value investing opportunities. It might be a good idea to seek advice in the software and data forum.

Hi Aussieper and trader.rossi Welcome to the forums! A lot of members here are active traders and others like me are longer time framed active investors looking for a mixture of dividend and growth opportunities. It is a good idea to keep those differing time frames in mind when reading through different people's comments because some are looking for opportunities for quick trades and others might be thinking in time frames of years when analysing stocks.
That's cool and I personally can see that out there. Thanks for your friendly and warm welcome, and your advice as well. Nice to know you @tinhat

Hi Traders,
I'm based in Melbourne, originally from the UK where I worked at a prop firm in central London. I now work at a brokerage and trade on the side when i can. This side of the world has a lot of liquidity challenges so i've moved over to trading futures and CFDs on global indices. Overall my P&L is positive but EM markets have been getting hammered recently and there's a lot of choppy price action.
I'm keen to meet up with like minded traders in the Melbourne area. There's not that many prop firms here that i'm aware of that aren't heavily into their training business, really looking to work for a P&L based prop firm in Melbourne if you have any suggestions?
If i cant find one then in the new year i'll look to set up a Trading desk for Melbourne based traders to trade together. I'm even considering doing nightshirts so i can trade US stocks, anyone else doing this?
Please get in touch if you know of any good Melbourne prop firms, are based in Melbourne or would be interested in setting up a trading desk.

Welcome CrewBear! It's great to have you on board. I'm sure you'll meet some like-minded traders from Melbourne here.
If you have any questions about how things work, please don't hesitate to ask. And don't be afraid to get involved in forum discussions, just jump right in and start posting if you feel you have something to add.
G'day,
Browsed for a few days and decided to join and introduce myself.
I was invested in a mutual fund through half of my twenties and thirties, sold it all and bought a house in Sydney, had some kids and am now starting the investment road again to build some wealth.
I am predominantly an indexer however plan on using around 10% or so for some stock picking because I just can't help myself.
Looks like a plethora of info here so looking forward to reading through many of the old scrolls.
Cheers,
Chris.

hi I have been running my own super and a small share portfolio for several yrs now, using the advice from the intelligent investor group. I retired about 9mths ago at 57. I have always wanted to give day trading ago, and improve on my ability at having a better understanding on how the market works. From what Ive read so far my nature doesnt suit a daytrader and im destined to fail, however im still keen to learn,even if it does take me 2yrs before I place a trade, or I only learn when to get in and out of the market. I have a friend who has been day trading for about 15yrs who basically sticks with a couple of shares and trades them on and off when it suits him he doesnt make big money but I would say he is keeping his head above water. At any rate Im glad I found this forum even if I only sit on the sidelines, from the short peruse Ive had, there appears to be a wealth of knowledge here. john

Welcome John!
Day Trading always seems like a full time job to me whenever I have spoken to traders. I knew one trader fairly well and he only traded BHP all day for one and two cent rises. He carried a massive margin loan which he closed off each close of trade. He made a comfortable living as I understand. There is a host of information tucked away here and plenty of people to offer you good advice and a kind word. Please stick around and enjoy!
