Who all else is trembling in excited anticipation of the next big drop? Go on my son! 🤓

Too late now, my bonnie wee bairns. Wait for 'the inevitable pullback'!

That fellow knows too much

How come none of the great TA geniuses told me about this.

Yeah, I did a bit of research on this and people have been asking about the absence of tick volume in PRT since at least 2016, so basically the answer is that IG can't be arsed.

Ah, a movement like this perhaps. Good luck trading those big-**** swings up and down.

I like your work. I am a retard so I don't understand 'volatility' in the same way. To me volatility means chaotic movements in both directions, which is less desirable than a sustained move in one direction (the direction that you have bet on). This is why more people have success with betting on an individual share price than day trading/minute trading on the 'great casinos'.

Sounds like a 90s hip hop music lyric.

Interesting but not surprising ... we already know that big profits are driven by exploitation of the developing world and through 'financial engineering'.

lol! Do you think such an enormous counter-trend move will take place in the 'next few days' or have I misunderstood you. (Very likely that I have, as I am a retard.)

By 'willing to put in the effort' you mean sustaining five years of losses? In that case, I can't afford it. How can anyone?

What looked like a hammer was really a hanging man? Looks like this stock is primed for another drop.

When it 'crashes' you take the opportunity to buy more. I have no 'facts'. Not a single person here has shown that they are a consistently profitable 'trader'. As for the 'logic' - most of it is truly laughable.

Buy and hold this for five years ... not spectacular but better than five years of pain and misery. Plus a quarterly dividend yield of 1.5 - 2 % for reinvesting.

Five years of losses can only be manageable if one trades infrequently or mostly on the demo, I don't think it's unreasonable to expect better - putting money into savings or holding stocks will certainly be better than that (don't forget dividends), so it would not make sense for anyone to bother trading with real money.

Apropos of which, IG's latest video on Youtube is called 'how to short a vanilla call option'. (Even the title confuses me) Why the sudden interest in options, if they can't be arsed letting us trade them?

If you are willing to put up with five years of losses (when you could have made money simply by buying and holding some well known stocks or ETFs, or just putting your money into a long-term savings account) AND attempt to control your emotions (good luck with that - I have bad news for you, you're a human being and your emotions are the result of hundreds of thousands of years of evolution) then you really are a dedicated soul. I see lots of people here stating that one should not come at trading with preconceived notions, and they then proceed to ignore what is staring them in the face because the pattern does not conform with what they expect from their 'system'. There is an enormous amount of bluster and hypocrisy, but scant precious evidence of success. Bon chance!

IG's web platform is shaky and unreliable enough as it is ... if they added call/put options it would overload their flaky system entirely. 'Championing our trading' - yep

The only thing I can think of is that coming forward (i.e. showing evidence) would give some people greater confidence in subscribing to/paying for that person's newsletters, forums, etc.

There are probably as many people who day trade for a living as there are people who play poker for a living.

Phew, what a stinker Let's see if the earnings report next month does anything.

The minimum deposit for coffee is very high. Is it worth it?

50% retrace then drop

WOW. Was not expecting that. So glad I didn't open a long position on this company's stock.

If they already have guys who can provide the 'tuition', why don't they get those guys to actually trade and make money instead of training newbies? This always confuses me. A good trader is someone who can make money trading, not someone who can only show you charts of completed patterns and tell you what they mean after the fact.
