@TrendFollower All true, but I'd like to know if PIA First actually trades on its own signals (the above example suggests that it doesn't). If not, then why is it considered good enough for clients but not for PIA First itself? Seems deceitful.

Only to an extent. Most people should only be actively investing (including SB/CFD) a small proportion of their savings. Otherwise extreme highs and lows are very bad. If they are so bad that the economy crashes, you will have social issues that damage your quality of life even if you are a Mr Moneybags. We should always hope for a society that is plentiful for all and stable.

Chilling out and enjoying the fine weather? You should be hunched in front of a computer, fat and miserable and losing money like the rest of us.

I watch the PIA First trading suggestions quite closely and notice that they often don't act on their own trades. Below is one particularly egregious example among many. It should have stopped out a long time ago at 11170. There was also a PIA First suggestion to short gold yesterday at 1417, which did not occur. I am beginning to think these 'signals' are not their real trades but designed to encourage 'punters' to make trades ... on very bad advice on occasion.

Apparently oil is both plunging and rebounding at the same time ... in the mad scramble to find something to write about, its journos are constantly contradicting themselves!

High time! Long may it last

Could we? I hope so because I put a bet on 😊

That big green line is the target.

Will it pull back to the 200-day SMA (40 week)?

Breaking below a near-three year uptrend with steadily lower highs and lower lows. Could we see a fall all the way down to $300?

'Even the M15' lol. 15 minutes is about as low as I would contemplate going, and even then I feel it gives me signals to exit far too soon.

Well, on the plus side you got some exercise, enjoyed the weather and lived a good life. On the other hand you missed the misery, bitterness and utter futility of day trading on financial markets.

IG's platform always endeavours to get you the best price that's why haha 😚

Missed a cracking wee opportunity to go short on oil.

How did you trade it though? The one on the left shows a break above R1 then a fall back down. The one on the right shows a sustained break for one candlestick period. So, if you are trading a breakout from R1 you lose 50% and win 50%. Not great odds really. If you wait for a pullback, then you miss all of the substantial breakout and get very little. Tricky. Difficult to call.

86% of punters long in this dying market!

Maybies up, maybies down ... maybies nor up nor down ... maybe the Grand Old Duke o' York knows

Are there people out there willing to string you along, making you think you can be a successful retail trader, while doing their best to get your money into their bank accounts? Why, yes - there are. What a surprise!

Yep. Turns out Reuters was talking **** again. I forgot my rule to 'ignore the ****' again.

Still using Flash? lol. Almost as bad as PRT using Java. Yuck to horrible legacy technology.

How low can the yummy non-bacon buttie go, Jo?

JD looks like it's on the verge of breaking out above 650! 😱
