I've been trading BP for quite small margins (I hold a large amount, even after I've been reducing it all this year).
BP is not part of my "Trading" portfolio so small percentages still give me quite large amounts.
Every time I've begun to trade it, it was 'accidental'; I had reason to sell and then it fell so I bought it back and it rose again so I did the same (this is how I began trading UKOG really, after I'd bought in with the idea of holding £1000 to see what happened after a few years - thank god I didn't see that through, lol).
I took£10,000 out a couple of months ago in case the fuel crisis got too sticky.
I did trade that a few times too but I last sold that at £4.11, so I'm out on that one now.
I change the aims of my trading portfolio each year, as it grows.
It's currently only trying to achieve £100 / day, which it is doing.
But what I've done with BP is from my "normal" portfolio.
It's more risk than I'd like but I'm comfortable with what I'm doing.
Certainly comfortable with what it's been making, especially since I doubled down at under £2.00 last Sept.
:)
Because it's BP, even if I get 'stuck' in, I'll still get the dividend (which is starting to rise again) and am happy to ride it out.
The divi I get from BP, on the amount I still have invested, is more than my annual spend*, without any other investments.

*Not actually using it for that atm.
