Welcome friend

If you plan to open a trading account with some broker, then you don't need to buy data. Data feeds from a brokers terminal is just enough at beginning.

Don't bother. Its just a term which is product specific. If interested check AFL Amibroker http://www.acronymgeek.com/AFL/Amibroker_Formula_Language

Don't bother about data and technology. First thing you need to start with is, learning markets and market analysis using charting.


Oh...do some research...google Sorry I don't have numbers


Many sites are there. To start with check this page

Don't be too quick. Check this forum, there are some great threads, from which you can learn things. Take your time.

That's said. Don't be too quick. Take care

Thanks gsalvadi, for explaination

I'm just a beginner - ard 6 months old. One thing i've learnt is not to try and guess which way the market would go (atleast in the early days). You'll always notice that the markets behave unpredictably just when you are a 100% sure what is gonna happen (take for instance inflation data, GDP data, downgrading of banks, opening of foreign markets et al).

I like to look at this in 2 ways:

1/ Markets react way too faster before you can react - before you're done looking for the reasons, the market has already factored it in!!

2/ Market's way of reminding you not to think of yourself to be smarter than than the million others fighting it out.


Hope this helps! - as i mentioned, im a beginner myself (one who's lost money made over weeks in a moment's madness) - one who'd like to caution a fellow beginner.

Best wishes
Ravi
