    How many trades should I place at once?

    Tim is offering very sound advice if you are new to trading.

    Lloyds

    Well, I’ve taken advantage (or maybe not) of the banking schamozzle in the States with its knock-on effect here and bought a small starter tranche before the close today. I should perhaps explain that I am not following chart patterns slavishly, but those patterns do reflect my thinking and...

    Lloyds

    Looking back to the start of this thread I was a bit startled to find that a year later we’re playing in about the same ball park. Shouldn’t have been a surprise since they are in my long term portfolio. Nontheless, from a trading perspective the second half of the year had pretty trouble free...

    Recently come out of Lloyds after a near five month hold (my new time frame :D) and waiting patiently for a re-buy somewhere around 49/50 level.

    Skill or luck?

    :D Hi Tim and all, hope everyone is keeping fine and dandy and raking it in. You may have guessed I stopped day trading some time ago - lost the concentration and stamina for it - hence my absence.

    Skill or luck?

    Call it luck, call it skill, call it an art - it’s deciding when to get in, when to get out and when to cut losses that matters.

    Ukraine invasion

    Just what is it with you people. Watch the pictures, see the people, listen to the people, will you. I don’t care if the news is slanted towards the horror, because horror there is. Don’t for one minute suggest that it’s all staged - oh, yes wouldn’t you just like to think so. And who is...

    Ukraine invasion

    Tim, I have always enjoyed your company and I am not trying to find ways to have a go. I do suggest, though, that you go back the start of this thread and carefully go through your posts and the evidence you pray in aid to form and/or support your view. Tell me how much of it stems from...

    Ukraine invasion

    Ok, Tim, one (two) last words. 1. So far as your “evidence” is concerned you appear to rely on resources outside the mainstream which you regard as just telling lies (except when it suits your agenda of course viz Washington Post albeit that you then bend what they say and claim that is me...

    Ukraine invasion

    What slur? yes, I’m sure clutching at straws. Like this morning‘s photographs of civilians lying dead in the streets, bound and shot in the head. Oh yes, Russians are going easy (according to at) and I dare say these are all actors lying about and fooling the world’s press. It is, of course...

    Closing winning trades

    Hi, Tomo, It’s just a dream :) You could change your mindset and think “top of my expectation” rather than “top of trend” and think in terms of money rather than instrument price. So your plan could say “unless I”m forced out earlier I aim to take £x,000 from this trade” . If price gets there...

    Ukraine invasion

    Tim First of all I do owe you a sincere apology. I had never intended to suggest that you, personally, believed it was right to destroy the city and make its citizens homeless or, worse still, lose their lives. I was trying to point up that the overriding issue was that aggression. Would have...
