April 12th could be interesting.
My negative side isn't convinced travel will be allowed, at a decent level anyway, from May 17th.
I wouldn't mind be totally wrong with my negative thoughts.

@Canary78

Multiply the current SP x 1.5 to equate to pre RI SP.

Holding up very well.
Gone the right way for many, but not for myself.
A drop early morning and a climb!
Maybe another day.

Off to meet friends for drinks and tapas, so a day off....

....but alerts set. :)

CFD,s / Spread betting I believe is where the 75% figure (losses) may originate. Out of my depth and I wouldn't want to chance things.

Yesterday's range was circa 7.5p.
A few decent entry points, with hindsight of course.

See what today's range brings.
I've been messing about with alerts, I've set one up for IAG today sub 206p (buy).
If the alert triggers, I'll monitor. May not trigger though, today anyway. If not, watch and wait time.

@Henrythecat
Yes, ok day / week trading when the markets are low. Sort of in the middle right now, with plenty of upside.
Depends on your strategy and what you do, or want to do with the profits.
I've only traded IAG from below the middle, to the bottom and back up (plus RI). If I only traded from the bottom (80-90p) and held to 220p, a fantastic % profit.
But, many must have bought near the old peak, held and still sitting on losses, unless averaging down or helped by the RI. Others may be at, or around break-even.
I only ever buy stocks and never short etc, this is a high risk area and perhaps where many lose money.

Anyway, wine and tapas Tuesday today.

Be lucky all.

I actually thought the 110p finish was quite strong.
I expected a retrace back to 107/108p.
See what tomorrow brings, but impressed with the resilience.
Still in the 200-220p range IMHO.

@MrLucas

I was going to go for 5p+, but it struggled @ 208p.
But, I decided on taking £100.
Guessing there'll be another drop.

Be lucky.

Sold @ 208.6p.

Back on board.
Small 3k tranche triggered @ 205p.
See where this goes.

I was looking this morning and hoping to see 205p'ish.
It didn't happen, so just playing about with alerts.
A nice little rise though for those who bought late Friday afternoon.

See what today and tomorrow brings.

I'm sitting watching IAG and other stocks.
Out of IAG, too early and didn't want to dabble around the 210-220p mark.
Although, with hindsight, profits to be made buying on dips.
I'm currently out of BP too, although I see that going north.
I may play about today, we'll see.
I don't mind getting caught low 200's, but not around 220p yet.
Many twists and turns to come.

GL

I'm currently out of IAG and watching.
Possibly look next week when things settle.
New range maybe 200-220p?
Although, the range has moved significantly these last few weeks, so who knows?

Well done to everyone and anyone who has taken money out of this stock.

I'm playing with BNC, BP and TSCO.
Usually a range with BNC and ok for day/week trading and no stamp duty. Holding BP and hoping for 325p+.

Good luck and yes, be lucky.

IG have screwed up again.
Their corporate side of things are disgusting!!

Multiply the current SP by 1.5 and you'll get n idea of what the SP would be pre RI.
At Friday high, almost 300p.

@Alwaysinclub
I always wonder about all the hype with bookings.
New money? Or credits being used up?
Imagining a mix.

Good luck if you jump back in.

Good luck.
I'm sitting out until after the results today and after Wednesday's budget.
I may have to enter within a higher range, but there's always a range.

See how the market takes the results today along with a drop with the FTSE Futures.
I'm expecting a drop, but wouldn't mind be wrong, with being fully out.
Watch and wait time for myself.

I've messed up a bit 'day trading' this year to be honest, but a lot going on in my personal life and I've struggled to concentrate at times!!
But, I'm out fully now and as they say, with gun powder (not lots at my level).
As above (TP69), there will always be volatility, always has been. There will always be ranges, sub ranges within a larger range.
Not always easy to predict a range right now as it can change rapidly within days!
Something that worked for myself a while back and maybe time to get back into that scheme, is to wait for the markets to drop over three continuous days, not individual companies, but the whole market (FTSE) dropping and then find an entry point.
Just my thoughts and I often get it wrong, but I'm not greedy and if I can pinch a little out of a range, I'm usually happy.
Still a lot of upside within this sector, that's for sure.

GLA, be lucky.

I'm currently out and admittedly got out too soon.
I'm still doubtful of when travel will commence at a sustainable level. Expecting a revised date, but Boris did help holders this week.
Results today and budget on Wednesday and then I'll look at possibly getting back in.
FTSE Futures down today and depending on results, a possible high % drop, but who knows?
Could be positive 'bad news'?
