Hi everyone. I was wanting to find out how many South African traders are on this forum.

 

It would be great to see some comments on our local stocks and indices.

 

Please introduce yourself so that we can get to know one another.

 

I also hope that this is allowed on the IG platform

Hi friends. I'm also a day trader, call me Scalo. I've been trading top40 for sometime. The only problem is I have a day work now and only trade on Fridays. Hopefully I can contribute.

SAFAS!!!! So I've been watching the top 40 index and I've been wanting to start trading on it but it's seemed very choppy. So being cautious. Anyone have any ideas or input. When and what. Would apreciate it. Always nice to have a win on the first entry.

Hi mate and welcome to the South African club. Unfortunately the index has been range bound over the last few days. Do you want to trade the South African cash index?

 

I would start with the R2 mini contract until you get the hang of it. IG also offers a demo account in which you can trade the index to get some practice.

 

Unfortunately, trading the index can be very risky without having typed stop losses.

 

I would wait for the payroll numbers today out of the United States before trading the index.

 

As much as trading the index maybe risky, if you get it correct it can reward you handsomely.

 

What would be very nice is if we as South Africans can have a WhatsApp group or something so that we can quickly give ideas on trading. I am not sure whether this comment is allowed on this platform. I apologise in advance if I have over stepped the mark here.

That sounds like a fantastic idea actually.

 

Yes I'm looking to trade the 40 cash. I saw there is micro contract available. Which I might start on.

Currently accumulating shorts on futures, ideally would like to see gap under 45,500 close before entering more shorts, SL at a close above 46,200. Targeting 43,000 futures

Hi Guys.

 

Yes another Saffer!

 

I dont trade top40, too much risk for my liking.

 

I like dealing in the commodities like gold,silver, copper and brent oil via the JSE companies.

 

Would love a whatsapp group.

    • I have recently researched cryptocurrency exchange tokens with good potential that would be a profitable investment for the upcoming bull market. This is what I found so far. 1. Binance's token BNB, BNB is the biggest exchange token and has done well over the years. However, its performance this year has not been great and it currently trades at over $200. 2. OKX's token, OKB, is trading at over $40 and has performed very well in 2023. It may be a good addition to our portfolio for the upcoming bull market. 3. Bitget's token, BGB. The BGB daily chart looks fascinating and it currently trades around $0.40. Based on the exchange's growth in 2023, BGB seems to be the most promising exchange token I have researched. I will continue to research other exchange tokens, but for now, I would like to know your thoughts on these tokens.
    • If you have been into cryptocurrency over the time, you'd have noticed it has faced a lot of ups and downs, from several crackdowns to adoptions, ranging from China's ban, to El Salvador's adoption, including Tesla's adoption and others, and it looks as though in an ever developing world of technology, adoption seems to be the resolution for advancing companies and now we have another adoption, Honda Motor Co. Honda Motor Co., a well-known Japanese automaker, has made a surprising decision to accept digital assets as payment for its goods. By collaborating with the blockchain payment platform FCF Pay, Honda now makes it possible for clients to lease or buy their cars and power equipment using different cryptocurrencies, including XRP and the most popular doge token, Shiba Inu (SHIB). This partnership increases the possibilities accessible to customers who may now purchase Honda's cars, motorbikes, and power equipment using digital currencies like Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), Binance Coin (BNB), Polkadot (DOT), and other well-known cryptocurrencies in addition to XRP and Shiba Inu (SHIB) rather than conventional cash. The unique feature of Honda's offering is that it accepts a variety of more uncommon meme-inspired coins, such as Pepe Coin (PEPE), Floki Inu (FLOKI), Bone ShibaSwap (BONE), and Doge Killer (LEASH). Connecting the dots of various happenings in the crypto space and sudden adoption by various companies and even some economies, where do you see cryptocurrency in the coming years and what steps are you taking in preparation for it?
