Making a little money with The Geeks Toys

[alanlee]

Hi all,

I downloaded the Geeks Toys only recently and it is a great tool. I played around with it again today and made a little profit again I've posted it up on my blog as below:

I do trade the financial markets, I was wondering if people use the charts in Betfair to trade in the same way using technical analysis as I've notice there are Bollinger bands and Moving Averages.

Check out this thread which is about moving averages.

Hello Lads,

for pre race horse trading what moving average periods do you think are most informative. I would be concentrating on the last 5 minutes before the off so wonder what the 2 periods you would suggest ?

For example Short term MA = 20 seconds ?
Long Term MA = 120 Seconds ?

Hi guys,
Another winning day playing with the Geeks Toy but it's so intensive that after an hour or so, I get really bad headaches and have to stop! Surely there must be a better way to trade these markets?!

Certainly 10 minutes before I couldn't take the headaches no more.. I found that I was making more and more mistakes... hence my cue to stop.
