I think it's just to prevent having a negative balance (owing debt to IG, which they can't legally claim back from you if you have negative balance protection).

This wee w!lly w@nker actually says, on camera, 'you can't lose money as long as you follow our instructions' https://www.profitaccumulator.co.uk/ Desperate times indeed ...

This isn't relating to Nasdaq but it shows a nice combination of 'fundamental and technical' https://www.babypips.com/news/daily-london-watchlist-20200909 Also, according to the same website, only 1 - 5% of forex traders make money. Hurrah!

A quiet day Josephine. 😴

Well, that didn't work out Zoom out to a bigger timeframe to get one's bearings! And as AndrewS mentioned, 50 day MA is support! 🤠

Almost there 🤓

I made money and was able to close my positions, but could not view charts or make new orders.

*parp!* Who has a windy bottom today?

I think you can just enter a trade without specifying a stop or a limit, using the web platform or PRT.

I haven't tried 'backesting' trading with pivots. The basic system that will give a 50% (slightly better or slightly worse) rate could be fully automated I think. Buy: Price > 200 EMA MACD crosses above signal line from below 0 PSAR is below price Stop loss: x number of points below PSAR Take profit: 1.5 times the size of the stop loss Sell: Opposite of above But this can be tweaked and modified, because on its own it's very unsatisfactory (it will leave you out of most long-running trends). I suppose you could have the basic system automated and delve in to do discretionary trading as well. I'm sure I could automate and backtest that very basic system using the Pine editor on TradingView 🤓

The platform went off specifically between 14:30 and 15:00, a perfect time to stop people from taking new short positions while the U.S. indices tanked. Exactly the same as happened in March, but in March the platform was worse because the downward move was bigger

Nasdaq has kicked off!

Hmm!

Could be another short brewing here ...

Not yet

I would love to know if PRT or IG's other supported platforms had the same problem that web platform did yesterday at the U.S. open.

Considering shorting the Euro as well.

GBP is in the sh!tter though!

The Aussie dollar found support and is poised to counter-thrust against the U.S. dollar 🤓

A tricky one, Geraldine

Not there yet, look again at 11am 🤠

I was 'trading in the zone' on 15 minutes time frame last night and made a wee bit extra profit 😘

Copper has found support, and at the completion of bullish or neutral candle taking it above the pivot at 10am I'll be going long. Gird up thy loins Samwise Gamgee 🤠
