Hi, have been trading for about 5 years, on and off, mainly currencies. It's hard but satisfying when I get it right. Still learning in that I haven't made any money, in fact I have net lost. 

 

This will change.

 

I am looking at CCI, support and resistance and differing timeframes as my guide. D1, H4, M30 and M5

 

Am interested in systems and programming pro realtime to screen for precise conditions. Maybe eventually automated trading, but that seems a long way off.

 

Cheers

Hi and welcome every one. I am also a new user to the IG platform and, from what I can see, it is one of the better platforms out there.

 

I have been using a few different platforms, and have not found one as good as this one. I would be interested to know how many South Africans are on this platform.

 

For all the new guys that have joined, take time line and read as much as you can so that, you can have a good understanding of how markets work.

 

You need to follow the major world markets, this includes major news events et cetera. Once you get comfortable you can develop your own trading strategy.

 

IG from what I have seen has some great videos on YouTube and their website as well as some pole full re-sources for you to get started.

 

If I can be of assistance to anyone please feel free to shout.

Hi everybody

 

My name is Hadi. A beginner in every sense here. Unfortunately I am extremely busy so I cant use this tool too much and already envy you.

 

I am an oil and gas consultant and the reason I am here is because I know huge potential of oil and gas company these days.

 

I am trying to use CFD but it is a nightmare to me as I cant replicate the costs properly in my excel sheet. and I dont understand few terms like margin?

 

I am living in Edgware, London, and I can offer a nice chat about oil and gas business, a drink or lunch for anybody who has some spare time to show me how he/she is using CFD properly.

 

My email is hadi.parvizi@gmail.com

 

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

hadi

A few of thoughts that just randomly popped into my head on reading your post  :

 

  1. Margin is basically the coverage you need in your account for any position (spreadbet or CFD) that you open.  You also pay leverage cost each day your position is open, you are basically taking out a loan to make the trade, hence the term leveraged trading.  The IG site offers a number of learning areas where such things are explained much better and more accurately than I can
  2. Some people on the forum are interested in Oil and there are some threads on this where your insights would be most welcome but it is a hard market to trade as I'm sure you will be aware of so random thought #1 is consider other easier markets in addition to Oil.  While it is normal for people to gravity to what they know (or think they know...) this may not turn out to be the best strategy.
  3. Why CFDs?  I have used CFDs for individual share trading because they mimic actual share trading in that you buy a certain £ value of shares.  CFDs are taxable (also means losses are allowable for tax return) whereas spread betting, being classes as betting (correctly in my view) are tax free.  I have found that spread betting is easier to comprehend as a vehicle for indices, commodities contracts and FX.

Good luck and please do contribute as much as possible to the debates on the forum.

Hi Dan,

I am very new to IG and investing.

I decided to take a punt on Fastbrick Robotics (FBR ASX) as my 1st dip in the water. Please so far as I have made 347% on my investment with I hope still more to come.

If I am wanting some advice on certain shares from the community where is best to post?

Cheers

Claire

Hi My Name is Craig

 

Just thought I'd introduce myself. I studied in South Africa. A farmer originally. Studied accounts and honors managements and investment accounting in South Africa. Currently living in London. Working as a model so I have allot of time on the shares. Trying to build so good strategies.

 

They say the best way to learn is trial and error but I think that's tough in trading so I hope I can learn from others and there experiences here.

 

Hope to hear and find out what strategies are going around.

 

Have a great week trading

Hey Craig there is a lot of strategies on trading that non work all of the times. The best strategy is to try a few with very small positions and see for yourself what suites you and the time and money on your hand. You have to try it at least over a dozen times to get a realistic results.

Hi I'm fairly new to trading. So much fun! Wish I'd discovered it years ago. I only trade the SA40 at the moment and so far have managed to hang on to my initial investment! I really hope to one day make this a full time occupation!

    • Movement (MOVE) introduces the first MEVM (Move + EVM) ZK Layer 2 solution on Ethereum. It combines the security of MoveVM with Ethereum’s liquidity and user base.     Key Highlights: Lightning-fast speeds: 145,000 TPS Subsecond finality with low gas fees Secure, cost-effective smart contracts     Could this be the future of blockchain scalability? You can join as we explore on BingX.
    • Bitcoin has reached an unprecedented $104,000, marking a significant moment in its history. The surge is attributed to institutional adoption, such as BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF success, positive geopolitical developments, and the deflationary effects of Bitcoin's halving cycle. These factors underscore Bitcoin’s growing importance as a global store of value and financial tool.   Fractal Bitcoin complements this growth by expanding Bitcoin’s scalability while adhering to its core principles of decentralization and transparency. The bullish momentum of its FB token, backed by it's active community got the project to be bullish, and since after it's listing the price of FB in the market has been performing extremely well, and most investors in the community are using their DCA strategy to ape more tokens.   FB is trading on bingx spot market, coupled by an ongoing carnival event that will be shared among traders that consists of 1,666 tokens for the community bullish and have decided to get their hands on some free tokens.

    • With Bitcoin finally surpassing the much awaited $100k hallmark, all indication points to the much-awaited bull-run. I attended an X space recently and one of the speakers highlighted that the bull-run has already started when Bitcoin surpassed it previous ATH. He noted that is normal for many people not to notice it since Eth is yet to reclaim Ath but with the like of Sol, BNB, BGB and setting a new all-time high show make it clearer. He highlights that the most surprising token was BGB, which rose from $0.5 to $2.7 and still showing signs of hitting $5. He made few assumptions that made the token achieve that hallmark before swiftly making some bold predictions that once Eth reclaim ATH then we should expect much volatility in the industry . One of the speaker claimed that the bull cycle is always short while the bear cycle is mostly longer. He said that Bitcoin normally set an all time high after swearing in of new US presidential candidate and he predicted that with the new president full support for Crypto we might see the longest bear market in the history. I have seen a lot of predictions that the mother token could hit over $200k in 2025 but what factors could push this.
