here's a big number-

197 456 897 234 000 000.

Not quite sure how I'd trade it, but it looks like a good short to me.

Have you ever noticed how 'Big Numbers' often become:
Very Strong Resistance and then Support?

Why would we have called 4180 as a BIG Number?

Ask Nick Radge, we did & I will explain.....

Yes Basilisk, well done
Round numbers are in the group of what we call 'Big Numbers'

no reason Bronte. It's been the high for the day and sounds impressive when you put BIG NUMBERS in bold before it. Isn't that what this thread is about, BIG NUMBERS.

To take it even further, I predict that every single turning point today on the nikkei will be at a round number ending in zero. Today's low has been 18050 and it's high 18150. On track so far!

I've had my fun now.

Carry on people

Many of the 'Great Masters' knew of and traded these 'Big Numbers'
For example: Edwin Lef'evre wrote about Jesse Lauriston Livermore's
use of them for trading the ticker tape in the 1923 book:
'Reminiscences of a Stock Operator'
One of the greatest traders of all time and a really good read.
