What I'd like to see is a tear-off ticket from which I can close an open trade.
Don't forget the KOs are still being developed and we are waiting for the 'inner' stop loss function that we were told IG was working on when the KOs arrived on the platform.
-
Not an unreasonable suggestion @Tancredi but I suspect it would be a case of either/or rather than both side by side. You can see where IG are coming from though, they need an options type instrument to satisfy the new esma regs while trying to lure those used to the SB format.
-
That's an interesting one @Kodiak, haven't seen anything like that myself but it would indeed be interesting.
I can see the attraction for trying to make the KOs perform more like a spread bet and less like an option but they are an option at core. The ability to place a stop loss inner order would make a big difference, hopefully that is still coming.

Interesting Bloomberg podcast on stocks and bonds with Farouk Jivraj, head of Investment Strategies Research at Barclays, about cross-asset correlations and what causes them to change over time.

As mentioned in the APAC Brief Dow continues to crawl on towards the highs while FTSE, mired in Brexit uncertainty is trying to put a support level at 7200, currently at 7286.

Interesting pin bar double bounce off recent support for both Dax and FTSE daily candles while Dow also tested support before heading back up.
Super Thursday tomorrow with EU and BoE rate decisions and mon policy statements.
FTSE and GBPUSD will continue to be at risk from Brexit statements and increasing Tory rebellion against May's leadership.

Hi @Tancredi, trading 'options' style takes a bit of getting use to at first but IG have made the KOs relatively accessible to spread betters giving set entry value options and hopefully soon an inner adjustable stop loss.
To get use to the different format you might try running the KO and the spread bet chart side by side while you practice and get more familiar with the KOs.

Hi Guest Turnip, no there is no options type trading on mt4, the KOs are only available on the new web based platform.

Another interesting video from Nick Radge on 'Equity Investing With Relative Momentum'. Presented in his usual statistically backed way the trend following, trend riding strategy, which is presented in detail, is a long-term strategy that won't suit everyone but there are still a lot of takeaway ideas. Interesting, quite simple and clearly laid out.

Thanks James, very interesting short video, I was going to add it here too.

The recent disconnect between the US and other DM continues while EM continue their slide. If this is all down to trade wars it's seems clear who must be winning but that's not the whole story. A while back in another thread I relayed a report I had read about the improved repatriations of US company profits back into the US thanks to Trump's cutting of corporation tax. I'd seen a report that the figure had risen from $38 Bln previous to nearer $380 Bln for 2017. But a few days ago I read a Bloomberg news report that repatriations were $380 Bln (up from $50 Bln average over last 5 years) for Q1 of 2018.
Admittedly I may have misread along the way but whatever, there is a lot of money coming out of other markets back into the US economy.
So looking at the weekly charts again, from a technical stand point. Dow is looking to test the highs 26166 and 26703.
Dax looks to test the low of 11690, FTSE the low of 7094, Nikkei the low of 21834 and 21451.

Just another day for Tesla; shares down another 7% pre-market, 2 executive resignations and the CEO is smoking legal cannabis and talking about how we are living in a computer simulation on a podcast, while being investigated by SEC. LOL.
