@nit2wynit Sorry to hear that :(  I do not trade in real shares at all now.  If I did it would only be ETFs.

Yes, though i don't know anything about ETF's I'd have made considerably more by Spread Betting PINS Instead of buying Shares.  As soon as they're either back up to Cost or in Profit I'll be selling.

Well, that's it from me then for this week.  Even though I've been missing the 1.30pm US Open for the entire week, my  £500 Small Account balance is up £103.  However though I did start with £1877, I only traded with £500 or Less Margin.  I've made a total of £405.67 and Lost a total of £303.24, leaving a profit of £102.43.  On the whole I'm up 25%, but I've given away far too much and actually didn't take profit as quick as i should have.  I Estimate I'd be up about £250 if I'd played the way i know i should have.

@DSchenk where are you?? :O :D

Not the best start back in today.

 

Watchlist

Trades

Was trading well in the beginning on IFRX.
Then tried to make some gains on CHS, which didn't work out as planned.
Raised the stakes a bit and went back on IFRX. Got too cocky in the end and booked a big loss on a $0.10 flush out.

Glad I'm still on Demo :D

I've been continuing with my Fail Analysis; re-enforcing why and when not to trade as well as Time of Day etc.  Learning what Not to do is proving far more difficult than What to do! :O  But it all leads to the same result.

 

I've got my account down to £507 so from tomorrow it's all serious.  I'll be putting some time to understanding all of the options in the Trade Ideas Scanner to fine tune it.

Future starts tomorrow for me.  :D

5000 shares??  That's not right, is it?  100,000 isn't it?

What do I know though lol.  I'm a bit late trying to figure this out again.

Won't matter much anyway. As you see most of the tickers gapping up have more than 50k volume anyway. Just don't want to miss anything. As long as the scanner only spits out 10-20 tickers or so all good.

I'm still struggling here.  Put some Filters in and only 1 stock has shown lol.  I'll figure it out later.

Was going well for me today

 

Started off on the wrong foot on SFET. Leading gapper, but was selling off

Then one trade on GTT, which was a break-even

Then I saw ASLN popping up on the screener. Just up 50%.

I jump in and ride it nicely.

Total profit: £581.20

 

I got to give it to you @nit2wynit, this US market open gap and go play is insane :D:D 

Actually think this could work.

My funds in the account are now little over £1000 already, how long should I play on the demo? Until £5k?

Weeeeew, Fantastic result bud well done.   Everyone seems to think winning on the Demo 'Isn't Real'.....but i beg to differ.   Though this is one of the more Rare opportunities that occur; High % Gains above 10%

I couldn't possibly tell you when to go Live, but I would personally wait for at least 20 Trades and take stock of Loss and Profit findings.    Find similarities in Why and How they worked.  Make sure your P/L is a minimum of 1:1.  No point having 10 winning trades of £20 and 4 losses of £100.
 

Other than that.....BRILLIANT :D  Imagine that was a 20k account...............

Popping up 50%+ on the screener. :D 

That's one for Ross's "High of Day MoMo scanner"

You what he's gonna say: "And then I saw ASLN popping up on the scanner - and I'm thinking, wow, this is gonna go with or without me. So I jumped onto it for the break over $2 and then added at ..." :D Same story everday

So turns out Ross traded ASLN, but lost $60 on it.

However, he made like $3k on PNRL. That didn't even show up on my momentum scanner.

Will need to have a look tomorrow why it didn't show up. Would've been a nice opportunity as well.

 

He also mentioned from next week he's gonna focus on the small account challenge, so we should have a better way of matching performance.

Right pal @DSchenk What's on the table today?   I'm late again and still put Zero Time to learning the scanner settings.

I've brought up TI and gone to the left panel and selected Pre Market.  All Windows are Empty of info!

Also, can you move the windows around?  I  can't.  I can Pop Out but can't move what's on screen.

    • Let’s take a closer look at Ethereum’s recent market performance and what traders are expecting next. Current Ethereum Price & Market Overview Current Price: $2,364.72 Market Cap: $9.42 billion Ethereum price has been moving within a defined range, holding support at $2,250 and facing resistance at $2,490. Traders are closely watching these levels to gauge the next move. Ethereum’s Performance vs Bitcoin  Ethereum hasn’t seen as much enthusiasm around spot ETFs as Bitcoin. Data from Glassnode highlights that: Bitcoin ETFs account for 8% of the spot volume. Ethereum ETFs contribute just 1% of the spot volume. This indicates that while both cryptocurrencies have ETFs, Bitcoin is clearly benefiting more from their introduction. Macro Impact on Ethereum: Inflation and Interest Rates Recent inflation data came in higher than expected, dampening hopes for a 50-basis-point rate cut at the upcoming FOMC meeting. Initially, this economic news affected the entire crypto market. Ethereum briefly dropped, but it managed to bounce back to the mid-$2,300s by market close. Bitcoin also recovered and was trading just shy of $58,000, though it's still down 0.47% for the week and 1.89% since the start of September. Traders Are Bullish on Ethereum According to CoinGlass, there’s growing confidence in Ethereum’s upward momentum: 58.15% of top traders are holding long positions, while 41.85% are short. The Long/Short ratio is currently at +1.392, which signals a bullish outlook. This data suggests that traders believe Ethereum is poised for an upside rally in the coming days. Rising Open Interest Signals Positive Momentum Another key indicator of bullish sentiment is the increase in Ethereum futures open interest: Open interest has gone up 2.3% in the last 24 hours. This marks the fourth consecutive day of rising open interest, indicating that more traders are betting on higher prices. Analyst Predictions: Is $4,400 Next? Crypto analyst Kaleo has shared an optimistic forecast for Ethereum. According to him, the current price patterns indicate a possible move up to $4,400. He sees the formation of a local bottom as a strong indicator of this potential rally. What’s Next for Ethereum? Support Level: $2,250 Resistance Level: $2,490 With bullish sentiment among traders and a positive technical setup, Ethereum could be gearing up for a significant rally. Keep an eye on the key support and resistance levels as the market continues to evolve. Final Thoughts Ethereum has shown resilience despite recent economic headwinds. With traders leaning towards long positions and open interest on the rise, the outlook appears positive for the cryptocurrency. Stay tuned for further developments, as a breakout could be on the horizon.

    • Stock Market Indices Overview: S&P 500, NASDAQ 100, RUSSELL 2000, DAX 40, FTSE 100, ASX 200 - Featuring Elliott Wave Technical Analysis Our latest analysis focuses on the key global stock market indices, including the S&P 500, NASDAQ 100, RUSSELL 2000, DAX 40, FTSE 100, and ASX 200, through the lens of Elliott Wave Theory. This approach provides insights into market trends, helping traders identify potential setups for both entry and exit points across these major markets. Elliott Wave Analysis for Major Indices: As we approach the upcoming Federal Reserve meeting in just six days, all eyes are on the U.S. economy. The upcoming PPI (Producer Price Index) figures represent the final significant economic data point that the Federal Reserve will consider before making its next rate decision. The market's reaction to this data could set the tone for how the major indices move in the short term. At present, I am analyzing two possible wave counts for the indices: 1. Wave (2) Low in Place: This scenario suggests that the corrective wave has completed, and the market is now poised to rally higher. 2. Wave (2) Not Yet Complete: Alternatively, there is still room for further downside before Wave (2) concludes. Currently, I lean toward the bullish scenario, as the price action in leading stocks like Amazon (AMZN) and Microsoft (MSFT) suggests underlying strength in the broader market. However, I remain flexible in my outlook, awaiting further confirmation from key market movements and the PPI data to finalize this wave structure.
