Stock market dealing

[Justin Passing]

I had a pretty small amount in gold. Turned my back on it and it hurts!
It wasn't FT.
TRump hasn't a clue about anything to do with the economy afaik. He said he wants to build a bitcoin mountain (not in those words). I think he has the idea that that'll put the price up then he can pay off the national debt with it.

Have had visitors for the weekend so not had time to read and digest all the helpful information that’s been posted in the past few days. Thanks for all the insights.

I’ve had a play with the shorting today (still using T212 app for now). Marginally up on the day but also some valuable lessons learned.

The default take profit and stop losses seem to be a bit random and I didn’t consider the value of the share relative to the amount being traded…triggered a stop loss of 1.1k by not adjusting that sensibly on Microstrategy

All fine when it’s fake money…

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

THeir default sare miles out od scope, but eToros are further!

Have you realised yet you can click the opening price bar box (avoid the [x] cos that's an instant close) and you get SL and TP tabs you can slide up and down.
In the Sim, try putting the SL close ish. Every now and again it'll stop you out for an unjustified loss.

If you're range trading between levels, theTP is a dogsend. It saves your nerves and it's a lot quicker than you are.
