    Which book helped you the most with your swing trading?

    That one has a freely downloadable pdf on the net. Ebay has for about half the price of that title, "Study guide for"...(that title) from India. Anyone know what it is? Is it a knockoff reprint?

    Does any ISA account allow to trade TQQQ?

    Though I haven't set up an ISA on T212 I can switch to that tab and apparently , QQQ5 is there. Typing "leverage" in the search box brings up a range, NVD3 etc.. TQQQ is not there, and TMV is "View only". They've been making more things "View Only" for a while. T212 were allowing things they...

    With T212 you can't short unless you use the CFD platform, which has fixed (typ 5x) leverages, and egregious overnight fees for going long or short. They've just increased the short fees eToro doesn't separate the two the leveraged/unleveraged the way T212 does , but they don't charge for...

    T212 CFD is getting better. It's quite amusing really, it's development by patch following consumer complaint! Many of the problems are speed associated, which won't bother you if you trade only monthly. They have sorted out many of the impediments now. They don't have instructions, so there's a...

    Trading212 have now discontinued the platform which was discussed before. They released a complete mess, and are using customers to test it. It has had a MASS of alterations so it's like a patched road now. Many many things don't work properly. The staff don't know how it's supposed to work so...

    Something right - like fleecing their customers with a site which trips people up ?? :) T212 have just released a changed platform , with a TradingView front end. TV with most things stripped out. No dealing with it. You can't save charts or templates, and many indicators are missing, it's not...

    T212 have started using a half-new platform, for them. They've adopted the Tradingview charts, sort of. At the moment it's in Beta and is a mess. E.G. you can colour your chart the way you want so you can read it, but you can't have templates or any way to store the chart layout so if you click...

    I use the T212 Invest platform (distinct from their CFD part) with no problems. They do have eg some leveraged funds there which EG eToro don't. Really searching on HL, they have a lot - probably more. That's NOT the T212 ISA platform, haven't used that. Getting money in and out is quicker than...

    Traders up for a pint in London

    In support of the bonhomie, I'll say I met Vimal1 for a coffee, and got a lot out of it. Not sure he got much!

    I notice eToro have moved to QMMFs too. My wife and I have etf's all over the place, due to historic reasons. They all have higher fees than say Interactive Investors or Invest Engine, with varying other qualities, such as good or otherwise comparison tools and customer service. I had ideas to...

    Small Cap Stocks Day Trading Journey ($25,000 Challenge)

    UK - many are small cap! Hope you noticed SDRY (UK) sometime Friday morning. 128% ... All day risers tend not to continue next day according to SMB propshop, but this one had the takeover catalyst so worth a look Monday, there may be more news. For a UK screener, Hargreaves Lansdown FTSE All...

    Alternative Investments

    It's "well known" - unless you don't, that India and surprisingly Turkey have given good returns recently. Look at ETFs. Jupiter India is one. From memory about 40% over the last year Hidden Gems are all very well, but when there are a few under everyone's nose?:

    Is a-trade legit

    Try taking your money out - all of it. I found this: https://globalfraudprotection.com/scam-recovery/atrade-international-review/ I have been "invited" to copy trade two people I'd been communicating with. Both were scammers. One is often seen giving sage advice on X - . He had a scam website...

    ES/NQ/YM algo

    @skychemist5 Hover your mouse over the name (ELab) and it says "Start Conversation". It's possible you have too few posts - but I don't have many either. @ELab - what platform do you use for your algo trading? I haven't looked into it but it sounds interesting

    Rob's EURUSD trading journal 2024

    I hadn't looked much at the Ichimoku indicator before - quite interesting. How wide is your spread, may I ask, mine's about 6 pips.
