[Day trading- 3 months later, my experience]

Maybe you need to read about Jim Simmons. In my experience too quant trading is the right and only way to make any money if possible.  

Please note Jim Simmons never revealed any of his trading strategies but he is considered better than George S and Warren B.

 

 

[Battle with Covid is over ?]

Well, I did understand your sarcasm , was just trying to make it little lighter, but do you know where the peak is?

[Battle with Covid is over ?]

I don't think so battle is over, markets are just always forward looking, it's just the volatility. Tomorrow indices can be 100s of point lower just to rise again! 

[WTH Happened? 8-9pm 13th July... FTSE 100]

Of course it will come up but after dropping few more 100s points!

[FX for actual use (property purchase)]

The odds with changing money with IG is they decide the rate, it could be better than the bank but can never be as on exchange as for example on Transferwise, if you want to check you can compare live exchange rate on IG and transferwise. What I'm presuming you're not after trading because say if you open a position just to convert the money and an instant spike can increase or decrease the original amount if you're open to risk you can take chance but 100k  just in one position is quite risky you might think of opening smaller positions but again you need to manage risk and need to check what conversion rate IG offers.

Also wherever you go your conversion beware of all the hidden charges etc.

 

Hope it helps.

use transferwise, exact exchange rate you just need to pay their fee. I have converted quite large sum in different currencies and transferwise is the best. you need to download their app. Its is EU regulated org based in Brussels, BE.

[open position at a point FTSE never reached]

Thanks very much, very helpful, indeed it did hit for ask while default is set for mid.

 

 

[open position at a point FTSE never reached]

Hi

 

I put a order to open a position at 5850 and IG opened that position at 5850 but FTSE never reached that point, max point  FTSE reached was 5849.2.

 

I don't see it right.

 

 

Thanks

 

[Unknown error when trying to close positions]

it happens with your live account too, closed positions don't disappear for a while. I just log out and log in again, kind a refresh!

[Indices min contract size]

thank you.

[Indices min contract size]

why indices FTSE and Wall Street min contract size has been changed? would IG be keep sticking with the new contract size? does any other market offer previous contract size?

 

Thanks 

[Stimulus Packages]

More people are dying and cases are on increase worldwide. The way market is going up it will come down in the same way. As you said all these stimulus packages are kind of a loan and need to be paid one day. But QE always results in surge of stocks like in 2008 etc. 

But this time it's different than 2008 this time collapse will be everywhere not just banks.

I'm just thinking may be markets are high on the prospects of oil price decision.
