Greetings from Far North Coast NSW.
Have been educating myself over the past couple Months.
Using incredible charts , and hub charts.
Downloaded Ninja trader today and worked out how to get ASX 200 on there.
So far only paper trading ,and currently literally paper trading as the Stockwatch site seems to have gone !!
Anybody know why?
ASX Game is also finished
Shame about Stockwatch as my first day on there{last Tuesday net $1900 gain beginners luck] Was the first day of My Newly developed Strategy. Then Stock watch Dissapears.
I did join the ASX Game on ANZAC Day and quickly dropped nearly $3k in 2 weeks. No strategy or Technical analysis before playing. Then almost got back to square before the game ended .
This was after some reading and trying out some ideas. CWY and SUL FPH ALL all helped towards the end.
Learned valuable lessons about brokers fees and how to allow for them in different size trades.
Broker would have made a fortune if the game was real.
Does anybody know of another paper trading site for ASX??
I believe I can use Ninja Trader to simulate trading and that was the main reason I downloaded it.
Seems all DEMO Trading platforms in Australia are for CFD trading. These are all margin accounts and I have no interest in Market maker CFD trading demo. I guess if that's all there is I can still use them and ignore the Margin?
Bye

Hi all,
Im new to this trading game. My occupation is a mechanical engineer and live in the Ocean Grove area of Victoria. My hobbies are fly fishing and RC model aircraft. Should anyone require mechanical engineering advice regarding how something should be designed, manufactured, what material it should be made from, how it should be heat treated etc im happy to offer support gratis as that is my love and profession. Im looking for a mentor who can guide me through the maze of information towards my first trade and help me distinguish the facts from the bull****.With the bit of research ive done regarding trading i believe i would be interested in trading using options. Im hoping to meet someone on this forum who would be happy to step me through the process of learning. Looking forward to the experience. Thank you
Regards
Ron

Hi I'm new to trading,
I currently work in the corporate travel industry and hope to start trading next next month on SelfWealth. If anyone can give me a really good place to find where I could download or view online live stocks on ASX that would be great, I'm assuming will have to pay for the service as usually free ones are around 20mins delayed - thanks

Hi everyone,
Great forum for a newbie like me. Live in Sydney, 66 years old male and want to make some money actively trading. Played the ASX share market game, learning everyday, but have a long way to go.
Any advice info will be welcomed.
Cheers, John

Welcome, John.
You've come to the right place - except: Don't expect "advice". The vast majority of us consists of fellow travelers like you, not allowed to give advice.
However, everyone has opinions and experiences to share, and most are very willing to answer questions on that basis.

Welcome all, this is a good place to learn in my humble opinion. Although I wouldn't consider myself as a beginner, I am always learning and it finding ways to improve my strategies. I agree with the comments from pixel above and I also don't like to advice people to do this or that, only make suggestions if I can see that I can help someone (based on my own experience) improve their investing / trading. I also find it helpful to learn from others and I find ASF has some experienced old timers that have guided me in the right direction. This is why I have decided to post a journal of my investing journey here (see "medium/longer term stock portfolio"). More recently I've started journal for "speculative stock portfolio".
Wish you all best of luck with your journey...

A beginner in some areas. And since I logged in and looked it had been almost 8 years since my last post so I should probably re-introduce myself.
My background is in mining and exploration, primarily gold and base metals. Worked as a geo for 6 years in industry throughout SE Asia and Australia and now involved in mining law. Have been investing for almost 10 years and discretionary technical trading for about a year or so.
The area I am brand new in is quant trading. At the moment working on automated strategies and learning Python. Slowly getting wins on the board, main areas I am working on are developing a long term trend trading and swing trading strategies based on momentum and mean reversion.
If you guys have mining/exploration related questions, always happy to answer.
Interestingly the last company I posted on was PDN. Which is now in voluntary admin. That last post was probably one of the high points of the uranium boom.
Always funny looking back at stuff in hindsight. But around that time there were a lot of people on this board that did very well out of junior explorers and mining companies!

Good to know. I do buy mining hopefuls and speculative junior explorers from time to time in my "speculative stock portfolio". So it's great to have someone with experience in this area to ask questions especially if I come across some technical stuff such as quantities in resources/reserves kOz/mOz, grades in g/t, ppm etc.

Hi guys.
New member to the forum and wanted to introduce myself.
An ex Oil and Gas Mech Tech now working in Operations in Queensland.
Had an account with commsec for quite a few years now and must say I've been pretty terrible at all things to do with the stock market
I am currently looking into setting up some investments for a special needs trust (my son's) and I'm compiling a list of LIC's and ETF's to invest in, trying to keep the list to around 10 - 12 stocks.
Would love to post the list up upon completion to receive any feedback, positive or negative.
Regards,
VCrusty.

Welcome VCrusty,
I'm more of a "WA-rusty", a rusted-in Sandgroper
If you wish to receive feedback on some ETFs or LICs, I'm sure there will be plenty of members who have an opinion to share. If I can find a chart for an instrument, I'm also happy to post my tuppence worth.
Good luck with your studies - no need to tell you how important the safety aspect of capital preservation is, especially for a "Special Needs Trust".

Hi All,
I'm a complete newbie and looking for advice while reading books and learning some new skills. I have yet to decide if this is online gambling or investing with my knowledge base. Time will tell
I hope I will become a contributing member of the forum over time, but to start off I will have more questions than answers. So for my first question
Which forum is the best to post a question about online trading platforms.
Good luck to those that need it and congratulations to those that don't
Cheers

Hi Bally, welcome to Aussie Stock Forums!
Threads about online trading platforms should be posted in the Brokers or Software and Data forum, depending on which platform you are asking about. However, before you start a new thread, be sure to do a search to see if there's an existing thread on the same topic. If you can't find a suitable thread then by all means start your own.
If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Other that that, please enjoy the forums!

In answer to your question
Gambling ----- if you don't know how to trade and how to create a positive expectancy.
You'll know when you can trade and invest profitably.
Until you do your gambling.

As time goes on that you will realise that everything is life is a gamble.
Crossing the road is a gamble, a relationship is a gamble, the stock market is a gamble.
The key to winning is to keep the odds in you favour.
The casino is still here after centuries, as are the bookies.
Playing games where they have a guaranteed edge.
The government, the brokers, the market makers and the traders.
Financial markets are the same each participant has their own game to play.
Learning and trying to improve decision making for your own situation is a step in the right direction.
Having said that, ironically
Good Luck!
