The Contributor of the Month for December RESULTS

Recommended Posts

The Contributor of the Month for December is now over! I would like to thank everyone who contributed this month to help bring the Community to life. This is the second time in as many months that we've given away £500 worth of prizes (over three places)  and we're looking to do it again for January, and you can see the original posting here

 

Hopefully the more veteran members here will have seen activity and discussion increase over the last couple of months on the back of this, and we hope this will continue as we slowly integrate Community into the wider IG ecosystem. 

 

small.pngAs before, the decision making process was a tricky one. We didn't want to focus purely on post count, and instead we were looking for the Community member who helped bring the community to life. This would include posting interesting trade ideas, helping others, answering questions, and adding interesting rich media such as picture, videos, and links. 

 

1st place goes to  for some great posts and trade ideas on a number of different markets. The Santa Rally thread was in depth and well discussed, whilst things like the Twitter post gave an interesting trade idea. Community requested help on trade discussion here and here, MC involvement, and fundamental trade help seemed well received. I shall drop you a line with how we now proceed. Congratulations and keep 'em coming.

 

2nd place goes to  for a number of reasons. Not only where there a number of significant posts and trade ideas surrounding blockchain and crypto currencies, but other asset classes such as commodities and longer term trading share themes. 

 

This month the 3rd place was slightly different and reserved for someone new to IG Community.  was the winner of this one on the back of the query regarding the large end of year Tom Next which you can see here, along with some in depth follow up questions. The post received almost 700 views in 5 days and was promoted as one of the top 3 questions at the top of the help and support portal for a couple of days. I shall drop you a line with how we now proceed. 

 

Thank you very much to everyone who participated, and I'm sure you'll all join me in congratulating the above winners. Don't forget a total of £500 (split over three prizes / or the equivalent) is up for grabs once more in January!

Wow! thank you very much, IG, it is quite pleasing to be given this title!

 

Congratulations to  ( -  I shall go and read your post this evening) and also to .

 

I am glad there was so much interest in the Santa Rally 2017 thread, there were many different ideas coming out of how to approach this trade. This trade worked for me, and we now have to wait 12 months to play it again. :smileyhappy:


As to 'Congratulations and keep 'em coming.' Indeed I will (I am not at my screen all day so my posts are often in chunks) I find the platform lends itself very well to posting. I have ongoing threads in SHP - which we are running as a dummy, but 'live' trading idea and  TWTR  and William Hill (which I think is in for a really positive year) so please I invite people to join me on those, and a new thread I am currently drafting  concerns some large cap stocks, which Community members are invited to contribute to and share their thoughts on these stocks.

 

Best,

Wow, I really haven't done anything to deserve this, but thank you so much! :smileyvery-happy: Very much enjoying being part of the community, and really appreciate the time you put into responding James.  Congratulations to  @rimmy2000 and @TrendFollower ! Off to read your posts now... (Ooh and something on crypto - great! I'm just trying to get my head round that at the moment.)

    • Just recently, I wrote an article about how a Solana blockchain art project (Artrade) is helping artists raise their earnings and even further transforming their physical works into RWA essentially NFTs. With that in mind, I came across Rarible, a marketplace that focuses on digital art and NFTs and the similarities of the platforms caught my attention. Rarible allows artists to sell their creations as NFTs, essentially digital certificates of ownership and cuts out middlemen, connecting artists directly with buyers. Beyond trading, Rarible offers a somewhat user-friendly interface for creating NFTs, even for beginners.   The platform unlike Artrade is built on the Ethereum blockchain and uses its own token, RARI, for governance and rewarding active users. In the long term they seem building with the goal of becoming a DAO in the future While it’s still early days, I have no doubt Rarible offers a unique approach to buying, selling, and creating digital art, and the recent listing on Bitget will further expose it to new communities and potential investors.     Do you think RARI's approach will be sustainable as a marketplace for NFTs?
    • Soybeans Elliott Wave Analysis  Function - Trend  Mode - Impulse  Structure - Impulse for (5)  Position - Wave 1 of (5) Direction - Wave 2 of (5) Details - Wave 1 of (5) completing with a diagonal. Wave 2 bounce is emerging before the price turns downside for 3 of (5). Invalidation now at 1226’6. Not much has changed since the last update.   Soybean Price Analysis: Elliott Wave Perspective Signals Continued Downward Trend   In the realm of commodity trading, Soybean has recently undergone a significant downturn, marking a nearly 7% drop since March 21st. This decline appears to be part of a broader trend that commenced back in June 2022. However, before this recent descent, there was a brief period of respite characterized by a corrective bounce starting in late February.    Delving deeper into the price action, an Elliott Wave analysis sheds light on the intricacies of Soybean's movement. The daily chart's decline since June 2022 reveals a corrective pattern, delineated into waves A-B-C, as denoted by blue annotations.   The initial wave, labeled as Blue Wave 'A', terminated at 1249 in October 2023, exhibiting a distinct diagonal pattern. Subsequently, a modest rebound ensued, marked by Blue Wave 'B', which concluded at 1398 in November 2023. However, the ascendancy was short-lived as the bears regained control, manifesting in the ongoing development of Blue Wave 'C'. This wave, evolving into an impulse wave, has currently progressed to wave (5) following the completion of wave (4) in March 2024.   Zooming in on the H4 chart, a granular analysis reveals the sub-waves of wave (5). Wave 1 of (5) concluded with a diagonal structure, followed by a corrective phase as the price undergoes a temporary upside correction to complete wave 2. Despite uncertainties regarding whether wave 2 has fully concluded or will undergo another upward leg, the overarching trajectory remains clear – a downward break is anticipated to continue wave 3 of (5), leading to further downside movement.   In light of this analysis, the prevailing sentiment favors sellers, who continue to assert dominance over the commodity market. As long as the price remains below 1226’6, the outlook remains skewed towards further downside potential, with the possibility of reaching the lowest price point since November 2020.   In conclusion, the Elliott Wave perspective offers valuable insights into Soybean's price dynamics, signaling a continued bearish trajectory in the near term. While short-term fluctuations may occur, the broader trend suggests that sellers are likely to maintain control, shaping the commodity's price action in the foreseeable future.   Technical Analyst : Sanmi Adeagbo   Source : Tradinglounge.com get trial here!
