HI,
I have been reserching stocks and different trading styles for a shorttime now and stumbled aross this web. WOW what a wealth of knowledge that the peopleon here share; I wish I found this years ago. I am investigating option trades and I am now begining to understand that I have missed out on potential dollars over the years. if anyone would like to guide me towards learning the option trade I would appreciate it. or is there any trading courses that are widely accepted thanks

Hi Patrick

There are plenty of books out there you can learn from. And I'm sure there are lots of free material on the net.

- Keep it simple at the start and learn the basics on how options work. Dont bother with books that explain how gamma, theta, etc are calculated.

- Then just pick a few option contracts and Watch how the option price moves in relation to the stock price, and the option expiry date.

- When you're more familiar with it, you can start reading up on the different strategies that can be used (spreads, covered calls, etc).


good luck with it!

hi

not exactly "new" to trading. my first attempt at making a living at eod trading ended with my breaking even and taking a break of five years while i concentrated on other things.

well, i'm back, and this time i'll be taking no breaks.

hope to learn a lot in the meantime on this site, and from others.
 
Hey guys.
I am new to the forum and shares.
Hopefully I as many of you will gain some knowledge here and eventually share some (no pun intended).
:)
 
Hi All,

I have only recently starting trading CFD's for only about 6 months and definitely consider myself a newcomer to the game. I love the thrill of trying to pick the market & price movements and ultimately trying to make some money in process. I have been struggling to find myself in good trades lately and I am becoming continually more frustrated by my lack of success. Can't seem to take a trick at the moment with getting stopped out of trades etc, not sure if I just need a change of luck or just been getting myself into bad trades, probably both!

Anyway decided to join up to the forum so I can swap ideas, technical analysis ideas and information with your guys and hopefully swing back the favour to more good trades!
 
:DHowdy folks .I nearly bought an AUSSIE ROBB system until i found ASF.
I have been werking my way thru the maze of posts and trying not to get a brain cramp.
Then i looked at TI and gleaned from the wise ones that give of their time to help us newbees.

Just wanna say that i appreciate your posting your (achievments)+ mistakes so we try and not make the same ones.
Cheers.
 
Hey everyone! I'm new here.

Currently here to learn as much as I can so I can start trading(and hopefully make some money from it). Stumbled across this forum by accident, but have found it to be such a great learning resource that it is taking up alot of my working hours, hence the time of my post right now!

Looking to learn as much as I can!
 
Hey great forum.
I enjoy reading everyone's comments and it helps with my own research.
Like many I have only just started so I am as fresh as it comes.
I opened an account with Bell Direct and I have been researching as much as I can over the last few weeks on where to start.
I am very excited and looking forward to the ride.

Cheers guys

Hello :)

I have just started to learn the basics about Day Trading, Swing Trading, Investing, Money Management, Fundamental Analysis, Technical Analysis and legally reducing TAX.

I'll soon be reading up on property Investing later this year.

I'm currently doing my very first simulated trading, using the ASX share market game under the user electronicmaster.

One day I would like to day trade while also investing. But I still have a lot to learn.

My current goal is to see if I can average a simulated $1000.00 return while day trading alone. Thats not to say that I will try and do that in real day trading. But I will see if it is possible or not, by the end of this year while using proper money management skills.

I also have an interested in a project I found on Youtube. It is a challenge to trade with a starting capital of $500.00 US. Apparently this requires and tests the money management skills.

Hi guys

My first time here, hope i don't get to lost.....I'v been trading for about 7 years and some days i do wonder why...lol...

Certainly does your head in sometimes.....:banghead:
 
Hi. I'm new to here and new to trading too. I've started the learning curve, reading and doing the free online ASX courses etc, but I'm hoping to learn a lot more. This looks like a great place.

I also think that trading is something that I could enjoy (as well as hopefully make a little money from).

Hi All

Like others on this thread I am new. But perhaps unlike a lot others I am retired and receive an allocated pension. The financial adviser and the Macquarie Wrap arrangement that the adviser has put me in charge me in excess of $1000 per month to operate this (although since their fees are based on a percentage of the funds under management, there fees have been falling!!!). For reasons that are probably obvious, I am moving to a SMSF which will contain a significant number of Aussie shares. I am going to start another thread in the hope that I can link up with other investors in a similar position.

Cheers. Am finding great info on this site in the short time I have been browsing.
 
Hi,

I used to be here under a different name "AnalysisParalysis", but due to a change of ISP (thus email account), I had to sign up again.
