Nasdaq monthly 10 year trend channel Aggresive call buyers made it go "thru the roof" Will the parabolic move continue or is it back in the channel again? I would say back in the channel, but with all the stimulus and manipulation going on who knows? As long as the upper trendline holds (support) i suppose buy the dip continue?

They say that stocks take the staircase up and elevator down Lets see how fast the elevator can go when the time is right? I guess puts are going to be expensive? https://sentimentrader.com/blog/massive-surge-in-speculative-trading-again/

SpreadBets - Trailing Stops & Guaranteed Stops
Kodiak replied to heyho's question in IG Technical Support - Platform and App Help
And they change the min G stop distance sometimes (see nr 2 from help) " Why am I unable to edit my guaranteed stop? Generally, guaranteed stops can be edited after you add them. However, there are some scenarios in which you won’t be able to edit your guaranteed stops: 1. The market is closed When the market is closed, you can only move your guaranteed stop further away (increasing your guaranteed stop distance). You will not be able to move your guaranteed stop nearer. 2. An increase in the minimum guaranteed stop distance During periods of increased or expected market volatility, we may increase the minimum guaranteed stop distance as compared to the initial guaranteed stop distance. In such situations you will have to adhere to the new guaranteed stop distance when amending your guaranteed stop. -

With all the stimulus and money printing the bubble can grow much more Maybe some dip if Biden wins the election? (or before if it seems for sure) or maybe if the Robin hooders all sell and short at the same time😉 https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/robinhood-june-darts-beat-td-ameritrade-schwab-amid-market-volatility-2020-8-1029488598#

City Index also had some problems in April "Financial trading and spread betting service provider City Index has informed users of a breach of their personal data, including names, dates of birth, gender and bank details." "In an immediate response to the incident, City Index sent an advisory to affected clients suggesting that they reset their City Index passwords and consider also resetting the password if it is used for other accounts the client may have elsewhere." https://www.infosecurity-magazine.com/news/city-index-data-breach/ money never sleeps = criminals never sleeps -
