Stock market dealing

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 of 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.

Watching ATOS. I've been nibbling while the price has been going up. It was dying, down at 0.22. Now 1.55. French gov is buying the co.
I've just sold, witing for another dip, orobably at end of day.

There's an impressive AI share valuation etc thing at ii. It you have an account then there's a community app, where it's described. I know some sneer at these things, but others pay a fortune for them. I kept looking for the price until I realised it worked without paying.

TradingView is a service used by many for "charting" which means keepng your own pictures of charts with your lines comments etc, plus a screener and other facilities.
Compared with the free version, the paid version doesn't offer very much more. They get you to sign up for the paid version very cheaply this time of year, and then auto-renew at the full rate, next year, at about £800. They really make things difficult if you don't want to renew. When next year comes (now, for me) they try to stop you using the cheap offer again. The Ts and Cs are very ambiguous, and they have the right to change them any time. If you use the same pc, they tie up any different email/identity you use. The only way I can think of to avoid being re-charged, is to use credit cards which are about to expire.
Not having it. There are plenty of free services around. "Trading" is a real focus for unscrupulous basterds offering generous referral payments, to get people to sign up to what become 200, 300, 400 and more per month subsciptions.
The Bloomberg info service is $20kpa.
Getting an account somewhere is a much better route to getting tools to use. They typically give you real prices that EG TradingView charge for, and watchlists with your own charts. If you don't mind the ads, Yahoo etc do stuff too.

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