Jump to new
Hi Guys.

I'm 34 in Melb, i was trading ( or that's what i was calling it ) a few years ago to make enough money to go overseas ( India - it's a 3rd world country, i did'nt need that much, awesome trip) but now want to get back into it, I'm looking forward to (re)learning it all.
 
Hi People,
David 48 from Lake Illawarra NSW.
Never traded, trying to learn as much as I can before I trade. Probably won't post much until I think I know what I'm talking about - time will tell.:rolleyes:
 
Morning all

Bought some shares on a tip from a fin planning wire service, then bought some more on a hunch (sic). Very wet behind the ears but keen on learning as much as possible before I go any further.

Good Day Ladies and Gentlemen -

Hello - i just want to introduce myself - i have been trading since Feb2007 - i am 40 years old - i have read quite a few books on trading and the different ways you trade (day trading / long term etc ) but i am still very much a novice.... its much harder to do when you start using you own hard earnt money . I really want to trade each day/week i am not interested in buying simply to collect dividends and wait for long term gain (im not greedy ...just impatient) ....TY for reading my 1st post

Hi Calc, sounds like your in the same boat as me, all be it i've been trading a little longer.

The biggest single thing i've learned from this forum and the good educators that post here occasionally...

Scew the numbers in your favor, the analysis only helps your win rate. Cut your losses short and let your winners run.

There are plenty of posts here, some of the best on trade management are from Nizar who has really applied that, sooner than i did.

If you want the best advice then pay the $550 and do Nick Radge's course, i wish i had done that before i started trading CFD's, i would be much better off now.

There are plenty of arguments regarding different types of analysis, but most of them will all agree that its trade management that will earn your profits, not the analysis. Don't try to be right, and learn to accept being wrong about the markets.

Cheers,
 
Im a noob

and i thought i started young at 18! well done and welcome, remember that most ppl are more than willing to help, even if it is just providing a link, so dont be too afraid to ask questions
 
Hi all, I'm new to these forums and also new to trading in general - hoping to learn a thing or to from the more experienced people out there and have a bit of fun while i'm at it!

I've been interested in the sharemarket (and business/econonics in general) for quite a while but only recently wanted to find out more and do some more research etc. I'm only 20 though, so hopefully i can get a bit of a start before any of my money gets tied down with things like home loan, family etc (still a long way off i think)!

Also, i think for starters i'm mostly interested in fundamental analysis and valuing of companies, so any posters out there who research fundamentals or anyone know of good books to read as an introduction to fundamental analysis, or any general tips at all please let me know!

Cheers
