Frequent trader qualifications


Recommended Posts

Not impressed with IG initially - Online Chat went unanswered so I tried the phone and got the same result.

I needed the answer quickly because I had a power cut at home and could not complete the 2 trades I needed before trading ended for the week. The first one had gone through so I still needed one more.

My only hope was the hour that ASX would be open on Sunday night (UK) though it would already be Monday in Sidney!

If anybody on here knew the answer they did not reply so I gave it a go and sold a few shares on ASX.

IG's strength showed through immediately.  I was able to sell 40 shares for £2 which was a surprise (given the minimum trade in London is £90 unless it is closing a position). And the trade was timed as 28th Feb 23:30 hrs

and , bless them, this morning I was offered a trade on aimat £3!

Not their fault - but the stock I wanted issued a 7am RNS and thereare no shares available because it was well received!   I'd anticipated a rise which is why I wanted frequent trader status back after forgetting to keep it in December.

IG are near perfect - they allow trades in my Share dealing account and ISA to be combined in the trading count, have not done it yet, but my stock on ASX can be held in my ISA (this is not true for every ASX stock - so please check with IG before you decide to use this).   I enquired when contemplating a Bed and Isa from my Share dealing account which has some ASX shares.

The one small problem I have with them is the London office's handling of a share issue. I had a battle to order excess shares and still have no sign of my option shares which are available at a fixed price for 2 years!

The Aussie office got it right and my options appear in my portfolio as expected. I just need the price to more than double to make the options worth buying on ASX , a 50% rise on AIM will do it.

 

Over and out - thread closed.

    • Cardano (ADA) has seen an impressive 9% increase in price, rising from $0.3251 on September 7 to $0.3545 by September 15. This surge is linked to the announcement from The Artificial Superintelligence Alliance that their FET token is now live on the Cardano blockchain. Why Cardano? The ASI alliance chose Cardano for its strong security, fast transaction speeds, and low fees. This decision has reignited interest in the Cardano ecosystem, and many investors are paying attention. ADA Price Target Looking ahead, analysts believe ADA might aim for $0.5 in the coming days. With a positive Relative Strength Index (RSI) supporting this prediction, the ADA price target of $0.5 seems attainable. A boost in buying volume could help ADA break through this level, and if it does, the next target could be around $0.6. Ecosystem Expansion Cardano is also growing with innovations like the Iagon bridge, which allows asset transfers between Cardano and Ethereum. Additionally, ADA holders are considering investments in promising projects like Rollblock, currently in its 6th presale and promising potential returns of up to 200x. Conclusion As the broader crypto market rebounds, will Cardano continue its upward trend, or will it face challenges ahead? Stay tuned!    
    • Soybean Elliott Wave Analysis The soybean market is currently retracing within a long-term corrective structure that has developed since the peak in June 2022. While short-term upside potential appears likely, the overarching trend suggests that a significant sell-off is poised to resume, potentially driving prices toward the lows seen in 2020. Long-Term Perspective Before the decline that began in June 2022, soybeans experienced a robust bullish impulse wave starting in May 2019, which propelled prices from approximately $806 to significant highs. However, over the past 26 months, the market has surrendered more than two-thirds of those gains. From an Elliott Wave standpoint, the current corrective phase is forming a three-swing pattern, a typical structure within corrective waves that indicates a complex retracement. Daily Chart Analysis On the daily chart, we observe this corrective structure unfolding at the primary wave degree. Wave A reached its conclusion at $1,249 in October 2023, followed by Wave B, which peaked at $1,398 in November 2023. Presently, we are witnessing the formation of Wave C to the downside. Within this unfolding Wave C, sub-waves (1), (2), and (2) of 5 have already been completed. The market is now experiencing a retracement in Wave (4), currently trading above the significant level of $1,000. A key question arises: how high can this Wave (4) rally extend? H4 Chart Analysis Zooming into the H4 chart, we find that Wave (4) has completed its first sub-wave, denoted as Wave A. The bullish reaction observed since September 11, 2024, suggests that Wave B may have concluded. For confirmation that Wave B has indeed ended and that we are transitioning into Wave C, the price must break above the high of Wave A. Should this scenario play out, we could expect Wave C to advance toward the $1,070 level. Alternatively, if the price fails to surpass the high of Wave A, it may indicate that Wave B is set to make another minor leg down, dipping slightly below $1,000 before establishing a solid support base to initiate Wave C.
