The fact that you posted that line..."This strategy is proof, I have seen enough to convince me that charts make the news, not the other way round. Crazy as it sounds, thats what I believe." …leads me to believe that you simply have not been trading long enough. You are only believing what you think you see, not what others know. Charts CANNOT drive markets. Only the future can influence the present. That is why the markets are tanking right now...Because the future looks bleak for any more rapidish-expansion. Now that guidance is being curtailed, the markets are giving no quarter with the current valuations. (Dig deep into the word "quarter" in this context, it has nothing to do with calendars or earnings.) Your best trading partner is yourself. Since you say you have very little experience with both commodities and trading mechanics in general, then I give you the same advice I give anyone new who wants to try it live in commods… Trade CME's MGC (micro gold). Only $1 per tick. Try your strategy on it with one contract. You will make or lose the smallest amount you possibly can with each tick in a commodity future, but you will still see the price action you are looking for. If you want to try it with FX futures, there's also the M6E, but I am not as familiar with it. I am sure it is quite similar to MGC. And also, please invest the money into a trading package that has charting capabilities. Stockcharts.com, barcharts.com, and all these others....Nuh uh...You need a trading package with charts you can trade from. Go big or go home, spend the money on your trading business. Invest in a trading/charting package. You need real-time access to live market data streams at the tick level, not some web-based "chart system".
Why, where u going? Bit like a trainee surgeon saying 'Look mate, i don't have another 5 years to learn this crap, just give me the knife!'
