Hello

 

I am new to the site, and I was just wondering if there's any where on the site I can get info on trading UK stocks?

 

Cheers

 

Brian

 

Brian - someone might argue that trading is trading, regardless of what market it is performed on. If that's the case, then the entire forum is at your disposal. If you want to talk UK specific stocks, I don't think you'll find much of that around here at this point.

I know a few members are located in UK (or Europe)...

just look at the box on the right hand side of the post, you can see their location.

 

If you start a thread, I am sure it will get the ball rolling.

Many thanks - I am mainly looking for FTSE 350 stocks to trade at the moment, using the Channel Breakout Strategy. I'm new to the theory and I was just looking for people that might be getting into similar trades so that I can check to see if the orders I place are based on sound technicals. By the way, how are the Browns doing this season (I am a Vikings fan, 34-20 I believe the score was in week 1...)

 

Cheers

If you want to talk trading strategy, that is all over this forum. Start a thread, post screenshots and off you go. Again, the instrument being traded is not important. You can post screenshots of the stocks you are trading and others might post other instruments. But if you want to get it going, then you need to start it.

 

PS

The Browns suck this year which a quick look @ espn.com would tell you that. So if you're just looking to take a shot, then you can place me on ignore and I won't offer my suggestions.

Yes, I understand that thanks - my point was that I was just trying to find a peer group to discuss trades on the FTSE 350, but there looks like there's a lot of useful information on this site so I'll take a look and act on your suggestions if I need advice on specifics.

 

Sorry to touch a nerve with the Browns, it wasn't intended as a shot, just a bit of friendly banter. I wont mention the NFL again (especially after the Vikings loss today). Hope you don't feel offended and accept my apology.

Hi

 

I am new to trading. Would like to try day trading eventually but going to have to swing trade for while cause I have very little capital. Traded with IRA for a year or so and turned it over to be done professionally. Going to be reading and learning before I put a good lump sum into day trading.

 

Any good places with a glossary of terms anyone can recommend?

Try investopedia. This should give you a good starting point.

New to the forum. I've had a Scottrade IRA account for 5 years, and the best I can say is that I learned how to not lose my money, But I have yet to make any significant profits tradeing.

 

I'm hoping to find some answers here.

 

Thanks

Bill

Hello everyone,

 

My name is Nick and I'm starting out trading with a mix of fundamental/technical analysis. I'm based in the UK but I would like to start trading on the US stock markets. I've been told it's much cheaper for beginners because of the way the broker fees are structured. Does anyone have any opinions on this? I saw Brian was looking to trade FTSE 350 - are you paying a flat fee per trade?

 

Thanks!

Nick,

 

Which markets are you looking to trade? Stocks? Futures? This will help in getting you info on the broker fees. You might want to check around to some different brokers to get a better feel for the fees. Here's a few that you might want to look into if you are looking into stocks and futures:

 

-Interactive Brokers

-Tradestation

-thinkorswim

-tdameritrade

 

Not saying these are the best or only options. Just a few of the popular names out there. They will all have the fees laid out on their websites.

Thanks cuttshot, helpful stuff! I'm looking to trade stocks. No plans for futures, options or anything like that right now. Want to keep it as basic and straightforward as possible! How did people do last week? Anyone else trading the NYSE or NASDAQ?
