nvidia came up at the open yesterday, showed a doji, so I sold, then showed a wick below and a doji, so I flipped to go long. Then flattening off on 3 min, so I closed out. Then showed an upper wick at the level it had reached earlier, so I sold, but it went on up. Two wins and one loss.

Where do you trade these, though? They're not available on IG or t212, only OTC markets.

So what? Of course it happens. Doesn't mean that you can predict it. Here's my trade on nvidia from 31st. It came down and didn't come back up. Some days it will reverse all the way. Some days it won't.

Now at 127. So it has proven to be about a 1%pa bond, not a "20% bond". Same story - "All you've got to do is this, it's easy". Doesn't work. "Try this, how can anyone not do this?" Doesn't work. All of your ideas sound simple, but they are not reproducible in practice. Often it's just a case...

From Mark Douglas Trading in the Zone: "our minds cause us to perceive what we know, and what we know is part of our past, whereas, in the market, every moment is new and unique". So if every moment is new and unique, how do you "backtest"? You do talk some nonsense. Groupon is a US company...

I fancy Groupon today. Was it in the ttv email? I don't know, who cares?

The ttv analysis which you refer to is mainly about premarket movers. And you're saying that this is useful for the "mildly intelligent" to make money. So it would seem to be a reasonable thing to think that following the premarket movers is what you are suggesting. But as I said, this seems...

Got back from my morning lecture on galaxy formation which is part of the MSc in theoretical physics which I'm doing, and decided to give this a go, this afternoon. I figured that you can't just follow the premarket movers because that would be too easy, if you could just do that someone would...

My summary of the 19th century history of Andorra was free too!

Details are here https://www.ig.com/en/help-and-support/cfds/fees-and-charges/why-is-overnight-funding-charged-and-how-is-it-calculated-. I haven't done any sort of comparison of it with other options.

It always puts in some sort of disclaimer. The spread is 0.6, so 0.01% of the £100K, 0.2% of the money you put in as margin. There are no account maintenance charges, but you'd lose the interest you'd get if you had the money in a bank of course.

Well spotted earlier this week. So many reasons why the company isn't worth this much though...

Lummis made the suggestion on 15th November. Just before gold started coming up...

Loomis? I don't think Trump has actually suggested selling gold, has he? According to the FT, this new Treasury Secretary is quite anti-tariffs, so that would be anti-inflationary, so that's a reason for gold to go down. I'm out of it now, anyway. Edit: I'm not sure that I'm that persuaded by...

Could be true. If you invest £6000 and it goes down to £5900 you won't think too much of it. If you take out a CFD and it's showing minus £100 you might get rattled by this and decide you need to get out. In either case whatever your reasons for buying were, they probably won't have changed.

No, as I say, it's calculated per dollar. So if the price goes up one dollar and you have a £13 position, you make £13. So it's as if you have invested £13*2700. Margin requirement is 5% of that.

Don't know. For a £13 position on gold (per one dollar) I paid 20Nov24 02:57:26 Daily Financing Adjustment - FX Interest for 1 day Spot Gold £4.90 20Nov24 03:00:30 Daily Admin Fee - FX Interest for 1 day Spot Gold £0.94 I don't know how this compares to elsewhere.

Why do you want it in an ISA though? Spread-betting is tax free https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/business-income-manual/bim22015

A bad day, I guess. Commiserations. I know you bought ten days ago, but what happens if you are in a 3* leveraged ETF and the value of the underlying drops by over a third? Do they close it out? Or are you in the position that you won't suffer any more losses, but still have the potential for...
