yes jcd, I agree market structure and reading "internals" provide the greatest value but this stuff is for advanced traders so I don't think we should dismiss classical chart patterns like H&S, like cup and handle etc etc. Traders have to start somewhere and we need to gently encourage further study which frankly is never ending imhe. Very good guidance you give there but even vix, breadth, volume and cot can sometimes be overridden by those who have great priviliges :-)

you would never catch out Subway because he will say "if xx is taken out then the high probablilty move will be y" etc. That is the correct and prudent commentary for analysis.

NZD and AUD similar strength to CHF on yer meter catnip

Its all waiting for 13.30 GMT now.

catnip, you could always download any forex broker MT4 demo platform which will give you the forex spot. MT4 is very user friendly and some forex brokers also offer some cfd's like crude and us indices. The CMC do not have an MT4 option and often the spreadbetters are slow changing to front month contracts. Just check first the broker has a good range of 40 or more pairs plus gold and silver spot. You have enormous choice out there with many rogue non regulated brokers to avoid. I run about 8 brokers. You might take a look at GoMarkets in Aus and AlpariUK. GoMarkets are an ECN whereas Alpari classic account are dealer desk. Their pro account is ECN but minimum volume applies. You could still deal through the CMC account but use your demo MT4 to compare data. Just thoughts!
