Tom looks like you had a really busy day, very busy well done on all those trades. Good luck with Bo ho its a difficult share to trade as its always gapping all over the place ..... Yep keep putting those stops on

Ok GS thats one mystery solved ... So £10k up, well done GS that's some increase and the drinks are on you then, and the burgers!!............ Task Lansdown do you mean Hargreaves and L . Why use them they are so expensive... Ive been with
X-O.co uk (Jarvis investment) for ages they are fast and only charge £5.95 per trade with no inactivity fees.

Doing bulk of my spreads now on Core spreads .. Yes chat down on this site most of the day i was getting withdrawal symptoms.
Yes task a very odd and difficult day today everything was flipped but good for the ftse.

I had some massive gains in my P/F like easy Jet up. 190 ... 35% but its hardy made a dent in the overall losses of my total P/F from March of this year..... still not grumbling . I wont trade now until tomorrow afternoon see how the morning plays out

Crazy day today...... All my share shorts hit my stops instantly fast and furious first thing this morning. they were gone at 8 am........... Picked up 2 shorts on GA last night
My beautifully planed GA long off the daily trendline had flipped the other way this morning so no trade there. My EG short from Friday got stopped out only to resume almost straight away.. On the plus side got a few quid back going long on RR but didn't hang around long ( but wished i had . Then. this afternoon i shorted the EJ more than once on 2 min and 5 min S/R from a top down approach taking small positions off as profit . Then shorted the ftse from 3.30 ( that wasn't easy)....

Sold all my Aston martin shares for a small profit.

My P/ F looking a lot healthier........ All in all a more or less break even day grateful for small mercies

stagecoach its difficult to say depend if todays bounce can continue

Interesting article GS........... Who is Bobby?

Yes not easy at the moment best to just chill find a film on Netflix and open a bottle wine

PS congrats on getting married and buying your first home ..

HI tomc1 dont worry, nothing much shocks us in this game and we have all and continued to have losses.

Its often just like playing roulette. Ive just taken a look at your FSJ trade on the daily candle and i can see why you went long as it had touched and held on support three times and you were unbelievably unlucky it dropped like a stone from that support. ( probably due to fundamental news)

My thoughts are ( and basing this on the daily candle) when you are going long from from a three time touch support wait until you have at least one full day of a green candle.

This shows that buyers have at least entered the market . it doesn't always work but it has much more chance.

The other idea is to put a 200 day EMA on your charts this gives you the trend direction. If the 200 EMA is sloping down you are best shorting from the the highs as it gives you more chance due to the trend sloping down........ Only ideas and thoughts tomc1 plus remember to put your stops on, take the loss and live to fight another day. Oh and don't beat yourself up the market is fickle and partly based on luck..

tomc1 of course we want to hear and i am sure GS will be posting his welcome back as soon as her gets on the board.

Blimey GS you sound like a proper pundit with all those thoughts and questions .

Ill be mulling them over ( but problem with buying out Cine World) is the huge debt pile isnt it? .

I guess Amazon or Netflix could afford it but would have to pay the premium of $8 Billion of debt.
They are more likely to wait for it to go bump then hover up the assets from the Administrators..
PS did I say $8 billion of debt yep i did........... Incidentally Rolls Royce had $2.6 Billion of debt and they do have a functioning business

Hi guys put up a post last night but don't know what happened to it.

Any way nice work Task on your superb run of winning trades keep them up!

Gs look s like you are right about Tesco i might have missed the boat but next stop is 217 . I went long on Chesnara this morning and short on Ryanair this afternoon ...............

B&M has brokeen right out of its resistance posting new highs ( the city loves this company).....

ITV at a crucial technical point I bet Hot will be holding his breath..... US election result still not known for sure !!

gutters sorted............ Hi Task looks like you have been busy all day and have done well . I still am not trading still other stuff going on . Might get back on on Thursday. Yes i bet those spreads are wide on election night, take care some gaps could be dangerous........... GS you are the logistics foodie share person ...... Tesco i will take a look

up on roof today gutter issues and slipped tiles ( how many more storms are we going to get) any way coffee break over. back up the ladder

Hi Task I cant trade today and that's a pity( other commitments) it would be nice to ( confirm ideas ) and run a trade together !

Plus everything I did last week was 100% spot on near perfect and everything I've done this week has been 80% rubbish

I just spotted that first trade Task, right off the double top wicks ( on the daily) and it carried on all the way down

Hi Task looks like you got on after 6 well done on your profits . ive not been on at all today and only just scouring through my charts and email . .

found this from Investors Chronicle.......... Royal Dutch Shell (RDSB) has increased its investor pay-out once again. The 16.65c is still meagre compared to last year’s 47c September quarter payout, but represents a 4 per cent increase on the June dividend. This will become an annual increase if cash flow allows it, the company said...... Good for me as i am holder for divi s......... Also we need to be careful on Tuesday / Wednesday US election its expected that circuit breakers will be put in to the market. Ill stay well clear until its all over ...... PS ill take a look at that Dow now

Hi Gs good to hear from you and sorry to hear about your continued after affects of covid. I hope those senses return to norm at some point and you continue to by well. ........Ditto re Lgen holding in Isa for long term.

Task re RR don't know is the answer i tried to trade it but wasn't get in anywhere ... DAX was manic this morning and at one point i was in at £20 a point It was frightening! ....... The rest of the day I was much more reticent and scratched back in bit £50 using 50 p a point and a £1 a point so ended up 90 down.
nice work on EJ

waiting to see if it Dax bounce off of S2 ( so over sold

blimey what a morning got nowhere with RR then been stupidly chasing the dax all over the place got stopped at £144 loss

beware massive spread on RR
