Hello users of Traderslaboratory,

 

After reading several informative threads on this site i decided to open an account as i believe this forum would benefit me during my journey to become a trader

 

I am a fairly recent graduate from London currently working as an accountant with no previous trading experience. I do follow the news and have verbally predicted movements in stocks, which usually are correct. This is the reason why i have opened a brokerage account with my bank and wanted to start my journey as a 'News Trader'. I believe this fits best with my lifestyle as i do not have sophisticated software and analytical knowledge in trading to become a swing trader for example.

 

I am not naive and do not hope to make millions from this and definitely would not blow my account doing stupid trades. However, i believe this would be a great experience for me even if i do make loss; i'd rather loose money with real time experience trading and see it as tuition for my education instead of paying for seminars.

 

I also want to start a career working for a hedge fund or investment banking as a career in the future so just to note i do take this trading experience very seriously.

 

So my question is, is there any traders from London out there on the forum, or anybody who trades in the london stock exchange who can help me in my journey. Also any 'new traders' who would like to give tips etc.

 

thanks in advance

Tradealot, welcome to TradersLaboratory.

 

Don't be afraid to ask questions.

Actually I have been reading the free E Books on Wyckoff. Just when I thought I had read it all up pops another book. I plan on reading both books as I have skimmed over them, and they look very informative. The office trader and the tape reader. I need to go over some of the threads since I do study Wyckoff, but to be truthfull I never looked at how he really traded. Just hints here and there, but it looks like, from what I have been reading on your site and some of the material, Wyckoff followed the trends, ranges and corrections very closely And not like VSA which I have also studied.From A PDF called ("The straight line approach.")So that in it self is a big change in what I have learned on Wyckoff so far. Thanks!

I have been seeing this quite a bit lately. SLA and AMT. What is this meaning, excuse me for being ignorant on this subject.

 

The SLA is the Straight Line Approach. AMT refers to Auction Market Theory. See this pdf.

Actually I have read that PDF. I find it very interesting. I am trying this method in my trading. I plan on re reading it. Very different from traditional indicators, like MACD, STOCH and SMA's and EMA'S. Actually no indicators just trend lines. So far I have found it rather easy to use, but only time will tell. Thanks!

    • Date: 28th March 2025.   Market Selloff Deepens as Tariff Concerns Weigh on Investors     Global stock markets extended their losing streak for a third day as concerns over looming US tariffs and an escalating trade war dampened investor sentiment. The flight to safety saw gold prices surge to a record high, underscoring growing risk aversion. Stock Selloff Intensifies The MSCI World Index recorded its longest losing streak in a month, while Asian equities saw their sharpest decline since late February. US and European stock futures also signalled potential weakness, while cryptocurrency markets retreated and bond yields edged lower. Investors are scaling back their exposure ahead of President Donald Trump’s expected announcement of ‘reciprocal tariffs’ on April 2. His latest move to impose a 25% levy on all foreign-made automobiles has sparked fresh concerns over inflation and economic growth, prompting traders to reassess their strategies. Investor Strategies Shift Market experts are adjusting their portfolios in anticipation of heightened volatility. ‘It’s impossible to predict Trump’s next move,’ said Xin-Yao Ng of Aberdeen Investments. ‘Our focus is on companies that are less vulnerable to tariff policies while taking advantage of market dips to find value opportunities.’ Yield Curve Signals Economic Concerns In the bond market, the spread between 30-year and 5-year US Treasury yields widened to its highest level since early 2022. Investors are bracing for potential Federal Reserve rate cuts if economic growth slows further. Long-term Treasury yields hit a one-month peak as inflation risks tied to tariffs spurred demand for higher-yielding assets. Boston Fed President Susan Collins noted that while tariffs may contribute to short-term price increases, their long-term effects remain uncertain. Gold Hits Record High as Safe-Haven Demand Rises Amid market turbulence, gold prices soared 0.7% on Friday, reaching an all-time high of $3,077.60 per ounce. Major banks have raised their price targets for the precious metal, with Goldman Sachs now forecasting gold to hit $3,300 per ounce by year-end. Looking Ahead As investors digest economic data showing US growth acceleration in Q4, attention will turn to Friday’s release of the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index—the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation measure. This data will be critical in shaping expectations for future Fed policy moves. With markets on edge and trade tensions escalating, investors will closely monitor upcoming developments, particularly Trump’s tariff announcement next week, which could further dictate market direction.   Always trade with strict risk management.
