Hi everyone
My name is William. I am 22 years old this year and I hope that I can get some help understanding Australian tax and accounting system.
So, I hope I can find my best solution here :D
Thank you
 
Hi there all
I am new to this site just found it tonight. Hope to learn new information. About to start trading soon. I have been studying trading with *************. I have been having problems getting trend lines into my head. Does anyone know any information about Atlantic Pacific Securities (APSEC) for a trading company?
Any information would be great
Thanks
 
Hi Everybody!

Great to meet you all, Bill from Perth, long time ivestor, first time poster.

Thought it was time to find a place to bounce ideas off other like minded people.

Getting towards retirement so I like my high yeilding, income producing 'Blue Chips'. Always up for a bit of a punt on the pennies though! :) That currency stuff can get stay right away from me!

I look forward to engaging in some good, through provoking conversations.

Hey guys,

New to stock trading and i have decided to do my research before i jump into the market. The more i learn the more i realise how very little i know and how far i have to go.

Unfortunatly i have no finace back ground and although I am good with numbers i remember very little of the math I used to study in school believing it would be of no use later in life (how stupid i feel now).

I live at Newstead, Brisbane and would love to have a coffee/meal with with someone who has been in this for a long time and would look at taking on the role of a mentor to a determened 24 year old way out of his depth.

I am currently playing the ASX stock market game under the name DavidCarlton89.

There is nothing complex about invest in good business and you dont need more than high school maths
Mostly you can do with simple algebra... mostly I use + - / x and a simple calculator.

Most smart people aren't that good at investing, it all common sense, patient and have strong money foundation
such as compounding principles, a part of all you earn is your to keep etc...

Know these 5 laws and know them well is a good start :)

I agree, it doesn't have to be complex. A guy I know who reads the financial pages regularly (and that's all he does) liquidated almost his entire SMSF at the end of 2007 on the back of what he was reading. He then re-entered gradually in 2010. He has smashed the performance of pretty much every fund manager and most PhD quants on the planet with one deft move. There's many ways to skin a cat. You don't necessarily have to know your Greeks inside out to win. But you do have to be observant.

Hi to all the ASF people out there.

My name is Mark. I have been sifting through these pages for a short while and love the technical content. I have traded before back in the begining of the last decade but was hampered by business and lack of trading capital.

I have read enough books to understand the principles (well that was 13 years ago so re reading now).

My intention is to trade the ASX Mid to Small cap stocks primarily with a MA crossover with Volume parameters. Also like trading ranging stocks with breakouts along with triangle style patterns.

My main weakness is making my Trading Management spreadsheet. I have one or 2 styles but would like something better.

Also i have just bought Amibroker and will decide in next day or 2 on EOD or Real Time.

Anyway, great to be hear talk soon

Mark
 
Hi All,

It's been almost a year since I joined ASF so I figured it's about time I started posting and getting involved in the discussion. I've had an interest in trading for many years but have not yet opened a live account. I've spent the last 6 months studying these forums and wanted to say thanks to everyone for sharing your experiences & knowledge, the information contained in these pages is priceless for a novice like myself.

After looking at many different trading methods, I've found the style that appeals to me the most is intraday futures trading. I'm currently SIM trading FDAX and CL for a few hours every night and am slowing starting to see some progress. Hopefully I will soon have the consistency to take the plunge into live trading.

Looking forward to the journey ahead.
Cheers!

Relieved and Disappointed

Hey everyone.

As the title of this post suggests I am relieved and somewhat disappointed to discover this forum.

I was very close to dropping a large sum of cash into a company's lap to train me in Forex trading etc. My relief comes from the fact that there is information here on this forum about them and it probably wouldn't be the wisest choice to have done that. (Yes they've changed their name again). So I'm very relieved to have found this forum because it would appear that it has already saved me from making my first mistake in trading. :)

My disappointment comes from the fact that I won't be making 400% on my initial investment in the first year as promised by said company. :)

Any way glad to be here. I'm an ex business owner who has worked hard for over a decade establishing and growing the business, but have recently sold my little empire because there has to be a smarter way to create income and wealth. I'm here to learn.

Hi BigM,
Welcome to ASF!

So glad you were disappointed! :p:

To protect newbies, some of us try hard to expose scams.
There are sufficient traps without them.
