Shew! So very daunting and exciting at the same time Orca. The first few weeks are going to be a roller coaster ride.
Looking forward to your updates and feedback as you move along the journey and your experiences.
Good luck.

That's some messing around I did trying to answer the same thing you're pondering in a way.
Check out the Lazy trading system video on justonelap.com. Trading the indi, finis and resi in up and down trends.
I'm also back trading that strategy on Google finance to compare the performance between the 2methods.
Will update when all the data is captured

Probably due to the price fluctuation. Rand cost averaging. Please post it if you find it.
Back to the subject. Perhaps you can do some technical analysis for Junz on this one for a buy trigger?
I would just buy now in lump sum and continue investing monthly over and above if it's long term till I hit said growth number being 25x annual expenses

You going to be trading it or investing for the long term? Lump sum once off or monthly for the long term? Really doubt you can trade it too much with it not being as volatile as normal shares. If you got a 3-5 year or longer horizon start now why wait. Who can time the market accurately anyway.

Not sure what you mean by that, but you are able to add MA's to the charts. On bigcharts.com you can add a max of 3 MA's, be it SMA's or EMA's. Google finanace allows more than 3. Reuters only allows one. Google looks like the best at this point. Im currently back testing, trading the Satrix Indi, Resi and Fini using a 15,30 and 60 day EMA's based on Simon Browns updated lazy trading system off justonelap.com.
What do you mean by adding a MA to RSI indicator?

I'm keen to hear what the active day traders here use too.
I believe MetaStock and AmiBroker are the preferred choices, with a data subscription from Investor Data.
But, the most logical question in my mind, and a question I've asked myself too, is whether it's all necessary with whats freely available on the web and what you'd get with some of the brokerage companies you choose to partner with? If you're going to day trade and sit glued to your screens every minute of the day perhaps. But I doubt it's warranted if you're going to only do a few investment trades p/m for the long term investing on end of day prices.
Here's what I'm currently using to learn, look at charts etc.
Www.bigcharts.com
Www.reuters.com
And what I've just started using www.google.com/finance. Really like this one as has a lot of historical end of day data for the shares that are available. Setup up portfolios, track individual performance and total portfolio perfromance,do cash deposits etc. It also charts the total portfolios performance with the cash deposits. Only down side is some share data isn't available yet. Perhaps will get resolved, but it looks like the majority is there.

The Investor Challenge / Re: Blog post: Those $%@#$^ fees are blatantly robbing you
« on: May 14, 2014, 10:45:28 pm »
Nice one Patrick. It amazes me how easy it can be if one just sat down and did some simple calculations on how much that shiny new stuff is actually costing them as well as on the fee's on the investments.
BTW, apparently there's a way to transfer your STX fund to the likes of another broker before Satrix charges you their annual admin fee then transfer it back again to benefit from their low transaction charges.

If I were you and I had 25 x my annual expenses now with my young child I would probably hang it up now.
If you love your job then as they say, you never actually work a day in your life if you love what you do, different story altogether. Unless you have other stuff to occupy your time with and it enables you to have a sense of social responsibility then great. But you may end up bored eventually. I think as humans we need to constantly be striving for achievement in what ever aspect of our lives in order to feel fulfilled.
Why not take your family with you and add to yours and their life experiences bucket together and build that stash even more if its an option so you're always close by to your son.

Played with it last night. Very cool. Historical data goes back a long way and allows you to export to excel.
Nice for checking stocks with divis at a glance and allows you to track your portfolios.
