You need to use ProRealTime in order to be able to do this.

'Consistently profitable' FX traders seem to be few and far between. Most people who claim to be such are actually trying to sell you stuff. Maybe such people do exist but they are very discreet about it.

It's still sinking my bonnie loon 😨

Go shorty! Go shorty!👹

Zut alors, Samwise Gamgee? 😵

Nice round of bloodletting last night. If you were up late and on the ball you could have put in a cheeky wee short after that evening star appeared and made some money on the way back down.

Private company greed aggravated or caused the devastating wildfires in California. https://www.cnbc.com/video/2018/11/14/pge-shares-plummet-after-company-discloses-electric-incident-just-before-california-wildfires.html

Quality of life is more important than continually making money, but that's what we all have to keep doing whether we like it or not. Really sad to see what's happening to Australia.

U.S. indices have been rising for decades. Think about all the evil **** that happened in the 20th century. Put it this way. For capitalism to continue to exist, there has to be continually compounding growth. That's what the stock markets are there for. Capitalism also requires huge amounts of credit and debt to function. You're really asking the question: will the world order continue to be capitalist? Because if it is, it simply has to keep growing and the indices and levels of debt will indeed keep rising forever. Until the day the whole planet looks like Australia does right now - hell on earth. Enjoy

Missed the gold boat again. Will need to raise the order level 🤪 💡

Next Wednesday the 8th is Christmas trading report - let's see what happens then 💡

I'm very undecided when I look at charts for shares. It seems like the only way to trade is to put in a nice big stop (usually beneath large/gapping up green candles) and leave it to run it course (future-dated contract). I can't see any other sensible way of doing it, considering short-term gaps and in this case the astronomical spread. Even then it might just be better to buy some of the shares for real, where they are relatively cheap.

Look for the RSI divergence - in late 2018 it failed to make a new high when price moved higher (albeit very slightly) then dropped beneath 70. But hopefully you're using that as an indication of when to take profits, not to go short.

Well I decided to go in long at minimum bet size, very small amount of margin requiredm and put a stop around 400.

Probably more interesting than the FTSE 100, minimum bet set 0.5 and spread of 44 means I'm paying IG £22 for the privilege of putting on a bet. And it costs > £1000 of margin even at the minimum bet size. Is this the best IG can do?

Apropos of which, I must stop in by a Greggs at some point and try one of these. I wonder if meat substitutes have any of the good things about meat (protein, vitamins and other essential minerals)? If not, then what's the point - except for the purposes of virtue-signalling? 🤨 https://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-greggs-vegan/greggs-follows-vegan-sausage-roll-success-with-meatless-steak-bake-idUKKBN1Z10QX The spread on Greggs is still really big (16 seems to be the minimum, so if you want to SB on Greggs you pay IG £16 for the privilege - you pay less in commission if you just buy the shares outright) and it costs too much to bet on the FTSE 250. It ain't great

😎 I prematurely went short on the big indices pre-New Year, but they aren't finished rising yet (so I went long again, and recouped). It will happen at some point though. (A correction of 5 - 10% apparently.) Would be nice to be able to catch the correction, AND then buy the dip at the bottom. That's my goal. I'm not at all greedy

Hmm. It all looks so straightforward now. Short it back down? 🤨

🤔😕

Zut alors, Samwise Gamgee! 😻

Bernard Sanders for President 🥳

Well, looks like it's heading up again. I keep missing the gold boat. Aussie dollar appreciating too.

Me too 🤩
