Australian (ASX) Stock Market Forum

How long have you been trading?

I started in 2002, rather overconfidentally with very little knowledge, Have a history of taking profits way to soon and not taking losses early enough, leaving things sitting around waiting to return my cash :/,
starting to get a feel for the market now i believe only time will tell
 
My first trade was SGIO 31/03/1994
Made $93.70 in four days and was hooked.

I have day traded for the last ten years plus,
missing only a few days per year due to holidays.

People I trade with have seen my hand drawn day charts.
(Bingo's 1966, will take some beating)
 
Active in the market since August 2000 mostly in resources

Paper traded since 1997-98

Hey Battman,
Can we see some of you handywork please? I'd be real keen being a student of charting. Can you scan or photograph em and upload? What's that reference to Bingo 1966??
 
Interesting to read old threads that get bumped back up, hope it happens more often!!!

After completing some subjects at the securities institute course about 12 months ago I felt confident enough to get into the market (first purchase about end of Aug last year, so thats about 10 months, since then been reasonably active). have been interested in finance and economics for years.

Don't think I'd class myself as a trader, or an long term investor - probably a bit each way. Average holding for a few months, some still hold from original purchase way back.

PS; where have jetdollars and still in school gone?
 
Hi RichKid,
Bingo said that he started trading in 1966 (page one)

I have traded Futures for over 10 years
Mainly the Share Price Index (SPI)
I find areas of Support / Resistance.
Controlling a lot of money, I only look
for small movements.
The charts do not really show much.
They works well for us.

I agree with becoming an expert at something...
Successful people seem to do this.
 
First experience of any trading was in 1981 as part of an Accounting course (share market game). Spent many years investing in and out of bonds and debentures on behalf of an organisation whose business affairs I managed. Been teaching about it since 1997. Returned seriously to share trading this year.

Jetdollars,

You have confused a few of us here, please can you explain.You say you haven't traded since Jan 02, then you say you just made 50% on Mul ??????????


Your 2 quotes are below.

"After all T/A does work for my case....LOL

Sold MUL $0.036 on friday afternoon for a 50% profit which isn't bad for just 10 days holding."

I actually plan to get in at the begin of next year, but I believe I gained enough knowledge to start trade next month with small capital and will increase if I can profit from it.

01st of November 2004 is going to be my happy day."

I am sure there is a perfectly good explanation, sorry if I have missed something here.
