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: 31st March 2025.   Trump Confirms Tariffs on All Countries, Sending Stocks Lower.   The NASDAQ continues to trade lower due to the US confirming the latest tariffs will be on all countries. In addition to this, bearish volatility also is largely due to the higher inflation data from Friday. The NASDAQ declines to its lowest price since September 11th 2024. Core PCE Price Index - Inflation Increases Again! The PCE Price Index read 2.5% aligning with expert forecasts not triggering any alarm bells. However, the Core PCE Price Index rose from 0.3% to 0.4% MoM and from 2.7% to 2.8% YoY, signalling growing inflationary pressure. This increases the likelihood that the Federal Reserve will maintain elevated interest rates for an extended period. The NASDAQ fell 2.60% due to the higher inflation reading which is known to pressure the stock market due to pressure on consumer demand and a more hawkish Federal Reserve. Boston Fed President Susan Collins recently commented that tariffs could drive up inflation, though the long-term impact remains uncertain. She told journalists that a short-term spike is the most probable outcome but believes the current pause in monetary policy adjustments is appropriate given the prevailing uncertainties. Although, certain investment banks such as JP Morgan actually believe the Federal Reserve will be forced into cutting rates. This is due to expectations that the economy will struggle under the new trade policy. For example, JP Morgan expects the Federal Reserve to delay rate cuts but will quickly cut towards the end of 2025. Market Risk Appetite Takes a Hit! A big factor for the day is the drop in the risk appetite of investors. This can be seen from the VIX which is up almost 6%, Gold which is trading 1.30% higher and the Japanese Yen which is the day’s best performing currency. Most safe haven assets, bar the US Dollar, increase in value. It is also worth noting that all indices are decreasing in value during this morning's Asian session with the Nikkei225 and NASDAQ witnessing the strongest decline. Previously the stock market rose in value as investors heard rumours that tariffs would only be on certain countries. This bullish swing occurred between March 14th and 25th. Over the weekend, President Donald Trump indicated that the upcoming tariffs would apply to all countries, not just those with the largest trade imbalances with the US. NASDAQ - Technical Analysis In terms of technical analysis, the NASDAQ continues to obtain indications that sellers control the price action. The price opens on a bearish price gap measuring 0.30% and trades below all Moving Averages on all timeframes. The NASDAQ also trades below the VWAP and almost 100% of the most influential components (stocks) are declining in value.     The next significant support level is at $18,313, and the resistance level stands at $20,367.95. Key Takeaway Points: NASDAQ falls to its lowest since September 2024 as the US confirms tariffs on all countries, adding to inflation concerns. Core PCE inflation rises to 0.4% MoM and 2.8% YoY, increasing the likelihood of prolonged high interest rates. Investor risk appetite drops as VIX jumps 6%, gold gains 1.3%, and safe-haven assets outperform. NASDAQ shows strong bearish momentum, trading below key technical levels with support at $18,313 and resistance at $20,367.95. Always trade with strict risk management.
