Favorite Market Websites

[brownsfan019 17]

Today I finally joined the RSS feed world and downloaded FeedDemon. So far, it's pretty sharp. I've been meaning to do this for sometime and finally got around to it tonight.

 

Anyways, I was hoping we could compile a list of websites that you frequent for market info - whether that be blogs, news sites, etc. I am looking to compile my trading folder in FeedDemon.

 

Here's some starters of ones I found today in no particular order:

 

http://www.marketpsych.com/blog/blogger.html

http://bigpicture.typepad.com/comments/

http://traderfeed.blogspot.com/

http://traderpsychology.blogspot.com/

 

I know that's not much to start, so if you have others, please share.

 

Thanks!

Too heavy for the lazy.

I also wrote some things that I compiled from others and had some fun over a few months writing about their wisdoms of trading successfully. I only tried to add some personal comments to add myself and my creative side. It was enjoyable for me to involve myself in this process until I felt more recently to be more plagiarizing than being original. It is awaking more so, when you involve yourself more in anyway with the subject and forcing yourself to come up with something that adds value. Check it out what I shared and some may find some usefulness found with what I shared at: http://stockmarkettradingtips.net/

 

Not sure if I want to continue the website, but I gave it something, it is always there to continue when I feel compelled. Why do we start things and quit? I got discouraged and called a strike. It seems that the life force hits a wall and what causes it to falter or loose faith is unique to all. Gain from everything, it is not a loss, all the effort given to any endeavor that reached a saturation point. I gained territory that I can see and read. It is right there on the map. My map, not a map from someone else that was sold to me, but my territory! I like this fact.

 

Be a creator and not a competitor. Share.

Complete e-ignorance here but what is a RSS feed? I've never been game to try it cause I'm paranoid about viruses.

Nick,

Wow, I thought I was behind the times here.

It's a way to get info from your fave websites into one program. Instead of clicking around 10 sites to see what's going on, you 'download' the RSS into your reader and you can view the snippits of the stories and decide from there if you want to read the entire thing.

Anyone else out there view market related websites on a regular basis? Anyone?

hey brownsfan, I read traderfeed everyday. Some of those other ones look interesting but Dr. Brett usually post 2 long decent blogs a day. If you have never read that site its probly worth more to read the back blogs than even bother with other sites. I would buy his blog as a book if he printed it out and sold it, its fantastic.

Thanks darth, I've always heard good things about Brett and I think he posted here before. Maybe, I could be wrong.

 

He's got some great stuff that's for sure.

Hi board. This guy Bob I have watched for years, and listened to. He utilizes some great non-conventional methods that have good merit. He is particularly knowledgeable about creating spreads with futures trading - ever thought of that? When you chart the spreads you will!

 

The pay commentary is very good but the free commentary is excellent.

 

Hope you enjoy it. Oh yeah - - polytrendlines! He does some great analysis with these, and I've never heard of anyone else using them.

Until I stopped trading forex I used to check out http://www.dismally.com just to get some context....one of course could still use the information if they were trading currency futures as well...

 

oh, and it's not free, but The Economist is a good publication for one trying to get a birds eye view things in a concise format.

This trading chatroom is nice, and free. This is the only trading chatroom I have visited so not sure how it compares with other free chatrooms. I think it is an IRC chatroom, but you can reach it without installing IRC through you browser:

 

1. Go to: http://chat.othernet.org/ (you might need to install/enable Javascript and accept an out-of-date certificate warning. Results will vary depending on the OS and browser you're using.)

 

2. Once you're connected to othernet (this can take as long as a minute) type: /join #patterns

 

Though I want to add that the chatroom shows your IP address for everyone to see when you log on. I don't know how much of a security vulnerability that might be, but you might want to use a proxy to log on anonymously. One free anonymous program I know is Torpark (http://www.download.com/Torpark/3000-2356_4-10586816.html). It is simple to use but can be slow.
