Find a share that's 'guaranteed' to keep going up, such as Microsoft.    Bet that it will go up (by a small percentage).   Repeat & rinse.

 

 

(I've only been doing this for 3 days, so don't take my word for it lasting.  Lol.      But it appears to work so far).

My first share I bought 1,000 Argos shares, they rose within two weeks 100% doubled in values, that was the poison pill  , doing nothing , knowing nowt  and making £2,000  in 14 days.The story of most stock traders.

If it's actually shares not SB or CFDs you're talking about, then I made £5000 on one share in the period of a couple of weeks (in my pension).    Lost it all coz I failed to put a stop loss on.  Thought it would only last a short period going down...     It didn't, and I lost all that I had gained.   But then again, that was in the very early days;  I've learnt since then.

To become a more successful trader you will unfortunately have to experience what its like to lose money on trades.  You will then learn from your trading of what just happened and change your strategy to become better next time.  You can always practise from a virtual or demo account - but be realistic and input figures and trades you would have actually traded for real.   

 

Always only invest money you can afford to lose - assume when the trade is placed, you lose 100%.  Do not place the trade if you cannot accept that.    Anything you gain then is a bonus. 

 

Understand the fees/charges your broker charges and possibly try different platforms to see which one works best for you.  If you are trading you can end up spending a lot of time at a pc screen(s).  It would be wise to invest in a comfortable seat and take regular air breaks throughout the day - step outside for a few minutes.

 

How to make money from trading is simple BUY low, SELL high!  Through time you will learn how to get it more right than wrong.  I have my own trading strategy that works for me but everyone else has their own methods and ways of trading.  You learn and use your own then you will be dedicated to learn more.

 

good luck whatever happens

Hey there! I know this is an old post, but I wanted to chime in and say that I completely agree with your advice on trading. It's definitely a learning process, and it's important to only invest money you can afford to lose. In the meantime, I discovered one way to make some quick cash. Basically,  I recently stumbled upon an article about the bingo for cash app legit. It might be worth checking out as another method for making money online. It's always exciting to discover new opportunities for supplemental income. Thanks for the great advice!

Hi - This is my first post to this forum - so hello everyone.

I make money using my IT skills (built up over 40 years). I'm "netcurtainsAuto" in the stockchallenge competition. I've developed an application that picks out all the low PE ratios, big Dividends, great NAV, big cash piles etc etc. Then I sort them into giving me top 10 lists. 

Two days ago I had my first "novel" published on amazon (so excuse me if I'm a bit over-excited). In the novel, in one of the later chapters I explain in a bit more detail (although not much more) how I built the system and some of the shares I picked with it.  This is the link to the book: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Kill-coder-lowest-score-Hawthorne/dp/B0BZFP38V8/ref=sr_1_1  Amazon allow you to view the first ten pages before buying so that gives you a flavour of the book.

Thanks - hope you all do well with your investments.

 

Cheers Agent X.

Making money through trading involves analyzing markets & making informed decisions. One buys assets at low prices & sells them high.To break it down, traders study charts, news, and economic indicators to spot potential opportunities. They use technical analysis to identify patterns and trends and fundamental analysis to assess the health of a market. Timing is key – traders aim to enter and exit positions at the right moments to maximize profit.Also, there are some tips on how to make money fast – they're out there, and they work. But remember, trading isn't a guaranteed shortcut to quick cash. It takes discipline, risk management, and continuous learning.

Trading is simple

Let me clarify - Learning a strategy that works more often than not is easy to find and learn. The problematic side is learning to manage and keep your emotions in check. In my trading group, I have developed a system for managing emotions mindset and developing great habits as a trader.

You can have this for free, no catches – so long as it helps.

Just to be, I run a live trading room where all trades are done live and recorded, and we all use this, and it works. No obligation. It's yours for free – I hope this helps you.

Here is the link to get it, as IG doesn't allow PDF's:

Link: https://harkoltd.com/collections/useful/products/the-importance-of-emotional-intelligence

Don't worry, no pitches at all. If I can quickly help, then I will. Feel free to ask any questions on your journey.

Regards,

Steve

Begin with a small investment to get a feel for the market. As you become more confident and experienced, you can think about increasing your investments.

Learn how to perform technical analysis of price charts and use technical indicators to make informed decisions about when to buy and sell.
Control your emotions when trading. Fear and greed can lead to impulsive decisions. Stick to your trading plan and remain disciplined.
Consider a mix of short-term and long-term strategies. While day trading can be profitable, it's also essential to hold some assets for the long term to balance your risk.
Approach it with caution and a commitment to continuous learning. If you're interested in making quick money, I came across some tips on how to do so that might offer you some valuable insights.

First you have to get rid of the common 'knowledge' about trading. Like if the trend is up there is a more than 50% chance that it will continue - it will not Or technical analysis will help you - it will not. Or 'pattern A' shows that the price will continue up - it will not.

Your best bet is to trade scarcely, try to enter at the beginning of the strong up/down trend, stay in awhile and set the win/loss ratio of the trade to at least 4:1. The Second chance is to enter short-term trade into a trend with great momentum and volume where it will be unlikely that someone will manage to reverse trade immediately after you enter, because people are eager to earn money. Move your stop to the entry point relatively fast. You will be stopped out many many times but you may manage to nail a couple of bigger winners.

For that to materialize you have to be extremely picky in selecting trades and times of entry.

    • Ahh the joys of trading WTI. The past few days have been interesting. Prices have risen 3%+ since Monday 17th June. The movement is principally price manipulation and speculation. It sometimes happens when traders take time off for a conference, or even taking a few days off for Juneteeth. The price has moved on very LOW volumes. The fundamentals of the oil market are being ignored, as hey who needs fundamentals when a rumour will do? Price action in of itself is a good thing, right? Unfortunately, the price of Oil is dictated by fund managers, a few trading houses (Glencore, Gunvor et al), in house proprietary trading from Oil companies themselves and countries and companies selling their Oil on the open market. Oh and a few thousand speculators, trading on leverage. Currently the market is being moved by speculation and vested interests(proprietary trading companies). The fundamentals are that there is enough oil. Demand is slowing down long-term, vehicles are more efficient and current demand is not as strong as envisaged, due to the state of the real economy. There is plentiful storage. Dare I even say, were certain large oil producers (Libya, Iran, Venezuela) allowed to  modernise and produce as much as they are able, the price of oil would be very much lower than currently. But no one wants that, heaven forfend! But there is a Cartel called Opec and their friends (ish) like Russia who conspire to maintain the high cost of oil. It's understandable. Looking after themselves is the main motivator. And fairness is neither an equitable nor desirable word in the Oil business. After all, it is a business based wholly on exploitation.  I digress, back to today and the price of Oil. Very low volumes and big price action strikes me as dubious. It's happened before. Doubtless will again. Be aware prices can come down as well as up, without provocation or logic.
    • Telcoin is a strong contender in the mobile money transfer space leveraging blockchain. Their focus on affordability and accessibility is a plus, especially for regions with limited traditional financial services. While it's listing on Bitget gives them wider exposure, it doesn't necessarily make them the only solution. It's more like a piece of the puzzle, as you mentioned. Hard to say whether Telcoin is the future though it has strong potential, but competition is fierce in this space. The key will be continuous innovation and user adoption.  
    • Interesting, the whole "Proof-of-Credibility" and "Human Capital Network" thing sounds like a step towards a more meritocratic online space. Whether Mande Network is the ultimate solution, I'm not sure. It's still early days, and there are probably other players in this space too. But ii seems like a project worth keeping an eye on especially since a tier1 cex like Bitget has listed it. As for your question, I think it's probably too early to call Mande Network revolutionary. It's a promising idea, but the execution will be key.
