    Stock market dealing

    Notwithstanding what I said about Truth Social, I saw that the price was trending up pre-market and felt that more (less professional?) buyers would come in during the day. So I bought premarket, intending to close out later in the day. Which I did, but buyers didn't come in, so that was a loss...

    He hasn't posted on it since he won, so maybe it was just a campaigning thing and he will let it run down now. I'll buy some meta, since Threads would be a bit of a competitor to Truth Social, and the price is relatively low.

    Closed out a couple of positions this morning for modest profits. Felt that the immediate election reaction was over. Kind of buy the rumour, sell the fact. Bitcoin had a great move overnight, but that looked done. 06/11/2024 NVIDIA Corp (All Sessions) DFB £61.40 DEAL DIAAAANNJB97QAJ...

    Stock market dealing

    I don't think IG have ATR trailing stops, but sure, you could use ATR to set the stop. Trailing stops have to be added when you open the position, but I could get into the habit of doing that. I'm very wary of providers just widening the spread to hit stop losses though, as we've discussed. I...

    Stock market dealing

    A trailing stop loss would have done just what your friend did with his nvidia. It would have closed me out at a loss at 3:20pm. Or, if not, at much the time that I did in fact close it out when it made the big move down to 254.

    Stock market dealing

    maybe I should have got out a bit earlier, but I can't look at the screen the whole time. i got out of gold at the start of the week as the fear of Israel bombing Iran seemed to have turned out to be overdone. DJT coming down now, as I felt it would at some point, but no catalyst for it, so I...

    Went well, 24952 to 25471, got out as it seemed to be coming down from the top of a channel.

    They need the money that they've got, for the mortgage and everything else, so they can't risk it. And they just don't have the time.

    You did mention an insurance stock a while ago, but no way to know which stock it was. " This one's 75% in the 12 months I think. Oops forgot the chart... But look there's a decent "Range" in a channel. The range is probably fading now, but you see what I mean. It's boring old Insurance, but...

    As I said, I just did it based on the email. I got in at 2:31pm. You seem to like bragging after the event about how easy it all is for you: "General Motors early for ~5% and Joby later for ~10. Both on premarket/ news. Joby via TradingTV Benzinga.." but my point is that it's not possible to...

    Stock market dealing

    Closed out DJT at market open today as I was starting to see reasons to short it. Haven't shorted it (IG won't let me anyway). Did OK on the long trade - long from 3026 to 3316. In retrospect closing it out looks a bit panicked.

    No idea what this is supposed to mean. I'm sure there are thousands of people wanting to sell me algorithms to do it, few if any of which work. But I'll go long cable today and see if I can refine my strategy over time. Let's see what happens. Edit: getting in early on SNAP, mentioned in...

    Stock market dealing

    The odds on Trump winning the election have shortened sharply over the last week without any improvement in the polls for him. It seems like someone has a lot of money to put on it, maybe hoping to influence the result. And if they're prepared to do that, why not put some money into DWT as well...

    This is what you said. There are no bonds paying that, except maybe junk ones. There are funds investing in bonds that have done that well over the last year, but that is something different. I can't see those on IG. All I can see there are bond futures, for which the charts only go back about a...
