Here’s the second video in my “back to basics” series. We carry on where the previous film left off, and look at my concept of the trading triangle. I explain what the three corners represent, and why they are essential to your success.

Reminder: This [...]

Here’s the first of my view-style videos. I’m starting this series by going right back to basics. It’s too easy to get tied up in the detail of charts and strategy. I think it’s good to go back to the beginning every once in a while and remind ourselves of just what we need to [...]

The wonderful thing about trading stocks, is no matter what’s going on in the world, and in the markets, there are always relatively simple and predictable trades to be had.
When non-traders find out what I do for a living, they usually ask me how I cope with the unpredictability and stress. I simply tell them [...]

At last, a new video! I’ll spare you the details, but I’ve been mostly ‘off-line’ these last few weeks, with internet connectivity problems. I’ve been able to beg, borrow, and steal connections from friends etc temporarily, but nothing beats having your own proper permanent connection.
Anyway, all sorted and back online, so here’s a video of [...]

We certainly live in extraordinary times. The markets are just getting more and more profitable. This last couple of weeks has been really exceptional, I don’t think there has ever been a better time to be a day trader.
After the last few ‘long only’ videos, I’m back to normal today. As it happens, all of [...]

Here we go again, another day, another crisis, and the mainstream media are having a field day.
No wonder I’m getting flooded with emails all asking basically the same question: “is it over for day trading?”.
In a word - no! In fact, it’s rarely been so good. Volatility = opportunity, and right now we have more [...]

Today’s video is short and sweet. Well, kind of, except there’s no “short”. As with the previous video, I’m on a mission to prove that even with temporary shorting restrictions in place, we can make a profit.
So here’s just over an hours trading for you, condensed into under 5 minutes of video, and only taking [...]

Ok, so they’ve gone and banned short selling, temporarily, and for financial stocks only. By the way some of the press has reacted, you’d think it was the end of the world!
I like to short, and it’s an annoyance than this perfectly acceptable practice (IMHO) has been suspended. But guess what? We can still make [...]

The BBC are calling today ‘Meltdown Monday’. The Wall Street Journal say the market has been ’shaken to it’s core’. Harvey Walsh says, another great opportunity packed day for day traders everywhere!
Don’t get me wrong, the news over the past few days has far reaching consequences for the markets, pension plans, jobs, etc. I truly [...]

As the institutional traders start trickling back into their banks, volume is picking up and there are ever more great trades just waiting to be had.
Here’s my selection for today.
