Hi Guys. Good to hear from you all. Sorry - been distracted by clutter lately. It's the hardest/funnest game I've ever played. I live in Lower Hutt (Wellington ish). Wd be gd 2 connect up with anyone there occasionally. Sorry- been too absorbed in taking my trading to the next level. Am using a simple 3 part system.
1/-21EMA as bull/bear line.
2/-10EMA as momentum indicator.
Boll bands at 20-2
Risk 1% of capital per trade, max 2% for day.
No countertrend trades.
Enter at 21, take profit at BB.
Repeat.

Regards. Craigus

To any fellow kiwi traders I am currently looking at trading pure Price Action from Support and Resistence zones.

A lot of it has been gleaned from Tess and Jocelyn's thread and the rest from Niall Fuller's course which I am an absolute convert of and big supporter of.

If there are any fellow traders around in my timezone who also like trading this way I would love to hear from you and we could possibly swap ideas and thoughts (and also alerts when we see potential set-ups) from our little back garden at the bottom of the world.

Bryce.

It's great to be able to phone them and they even invite you to visit if ever in Auckland. Their spreads are reasonable. Their platform is as good as any other ( I use MT4). They don't use a dealing desk so any movements in the graphs are the real thing.
Saying all that I just discovered a great little site called Plus500. They give you $30 balance to start with. Real easy to learn platform with come great features.

Hi all, another Kiwi here

LyallNZ - did you have any luck with Plus500? When I try to open an account I get "We're sorry but we currently cannot accept traders from your country."

LatitudeFX looks promising, but unfortunately their minimum deposit is beyond my budget at the moment

Hi guys,
I trade down here in NZ, most days. I find that the Asian trading often consists of slow creep, unless there is some very relevant data out - (NZ or OZ GDP for example) - Therefore, like others I try to focus on trading the European open. More often than not - seems the first move in Europe is the squeeze of Asian positions, and then the real move sets in. Agreed?

Master Koala - I guess, I use the LFX platform, find it good. Will check out the Plus500 gig though - thanks for that...

The official answer from Plus500:

Q:
I follow the instructions on your website to register an account but
when I
click submit I get the above statement saying you cannot accept traders
from
my country. My country is New Zealand. The bonus offer on your website
says I get NZ$30.00 free bonus, so... Just wondering why you offer a
bonus
in New Zealand dollars when you don't accept clients from New Zealand?

A:
Hello,
Thank you for contacting us.
I'm sorry but we currently do not support your country. The bonus exists
in NZ$ because we intended to allow trade for New Zealand, but it's not
possible due to regulations of the country's government about CFD trade.
It will be removed shortly.
Sincerely,
xxxx
Customer Support Representative

Good to know there are real people behind the website though!
