Hi guys,

I've been paper trading for the last 3 months. Even in a falling market, i've managed to make around 20% return on my investment, (probably just luck!)

Keen to learn heaps from this forum!

Cheers,
Majesty

Hi there,

Is this a stockmarket forum? got into shares years ago but I don't really post much on forums, I told my brother the other day I like the short term news with oil and gold, and I like the new trends with tin, aluminium and iron ore.

Go for it, get 20 shares of each!

Hi,
I just joined this site, but have been trading on the Asx with Comsec for around 5 years, and cfd's for just over a year. I have subscribed to all kinds of newsletters for advice, and quite honestly most of it was a waste of time. I'm just starting to make trading descisions on my own, and only have the cfd account for the ability to go short. I have found it to be a very useful tool, for this reason only. I wouldn't dream of levering up anything more than I am comfortable with, especially a long position as the commissions are pretty shocking. I have tried 3 cfd platforms, my favourite being MF Global, DMA CFD's. Their customer support and phone broking service is just amazing. My favourite trading style is 'pairs' and in this environment, probably the safest. Have been sticking to this for months. At the moment I'm watching IBA health (IBA) for any upward momentum. I'm also researching the ingredients of Hybrid car batteries, and other developments in battery technology. Quite simply, anyone mining these minerals, will be doing alright in the future. I will post any findings.
All the best.

This is not financial advice.

Great another ROM goose!!!!!

:bazooka::rippergun


:horse:

 

[DennisTheTrader]

ok. being new here, can someone enlighten me on what ROM means??

ROM = Return - On - Margin.

the only ones that ever quote such rubbish are yet to be severely burnt newbies & and scammers flogging trading systems to the above mentioned!!!!!!

 

[DennisTheTrader]

huh??! are you ok Trembling Hand?

I'm new and therefore dont know the rules and etiquettes of this forum, but I didnt expect such an aggressive response and be blasted as a goose/spammer/newbie, etc. (all of which are not true)

I have no problem removing the link from my signature and stop ROM's if you wish?

And someone please tell me, is this is the normal reception I can expect in this forum?

 

[debaron]

Hello all,
been hanging around this forum for almost a year now and this has been one of the best sites around to learn! - this and reading lotsa finance blogs.
Learning to invest/trade is not hard what i find hard is to keep te drive to learn and the perseverance to endure difficult market times.
I come from a business background but in general i'm interested in anything that generates income.

 

[Trembling Hand]

And someone please tell me, is this is the normal reception I can expect in this forum?

Yes because any one that trades with leverage and knows how to use it would never mention such metrics.

Yes its normal to be BLASTED for mentioning the ROM??! interesting.

Well I can assure you I have been trading for a few years now, but that trivial thing aside, wouldn't a simple "hey buddy we dont mention those things in this forum" be sufficient? ....thats what I meant by "reception in this forum"

 

[Trembling Hand]

Maybe if I was in a better mood but I hardly ever am.

And not so sure why anyone would mention ROM while linking to a blog which sells training course with the usual high win rate................doesn't put you in good company.

But anyway welcome.

 

[DennisTheTrader]

ah ok. thanks for clearing that up.

with the ROM, thats just what i'm used to coz that's how I've always tracked how i'm travelling. And I agree about the suspicious looking training course. I wont deny that. But it's what I started with so I included it.

All that aside, I do have some deep battle scars from options trading. I also got into the super-fast, heart-pumping Binary Trading (fast profits, fast losses. haha ). But now I'm finding more stability with CFD's.
