information
for new or prospective User Group members
What do we do?
At
our User Group meetings we talk about BullCharts software, and trading
styles, techniques and situations. And we try to talk about the state
of the market as well (if time permits)!
When do we meet in 2013?
In 2013 the Melbourne face-to-face meetings are usually the second Wednesday of each month except January. See the User Group flyer for a list of future meeting dates (if the old document is displayed, you might need to "Refresh" your browser window). The webinar meetings are usually one week later.See the current schedule of User Group webinar events.
Do you have BullCharts already?
You don't have to be a BullCharts user to attend. You are quite welcome to come along to just view the product and see how it works.How to Trial BullCharts?
It is possible to trial BullCharts for 2 weeks for free. No obligation. Full version of the software. Trial includes End of Day data downloads for two weeks. See details here.Are you an investor or trader?
It doesn't matter. Many of our user group "members" are only part-time traders or investors. Or they are just starting out and still learning about it all.Fees or obligations?
Being a user group "member" carries no obligation - we don't charge fees, there is no commitment. Perhaps that is why there are lots of people who are interested in the meetings.How big is the meeting?
The Melbourne meeting regularly has between 15 and 25 at meetings, so it is a good number for round table discussion, and the Webinar meetings tend to have about 5 people.User Group - Member BENEFITS

User Group - Latest UPDATE
October 2012 - PLEASE NOTE: The Melbourne venue (Leighoak Hotel) has been charging a room-hire fee since late 2010. We did consider a venue change, but the BullCharts company in Sydney (BullSystems / Weblink) have offered to sponsor this cost. And they have agreed to do so for 2013. So we are currently staying at this venue.
The Australian BullCharts User Group (Melbourne chapter) has been running since July 2006, with 12 meetings each year - the market does not stop over Christmas, so we don't stop either.
More than 80 people have registered interest, and we
often have about 20 regulars at the monthly meetings.
This is
a nice
comfortable number for round table discussions, plus questions
and answers. A week after the meetings we have the "Remote
Users" webinar session.
The meeting discussion/agenda typically includes things like:
- “Favourite Indicator” presentation and discussion. A bit of theory about a technical analysis indicator, and how to use it, and the optional settings in BullCharts to customise the indicator. Past indicator topics include: RSI, Bollinger Bands, MACD, Stop Loss.
- Trading styles, attitudes and strategies (BullCharts includes more than 30 built-in “Author Strategies”).
- Using BullCharts for Scans (for stock selection).
- General discussion on technical analysis.
- Recent trading successes (“hot stocks”? and how did we find it?).
- Real live BullCharts demonstrations, including useful tips, on things like BullCharts Toolbars and Toolbar Buttons.
