Sold OCDO at 2069, bought back into CCL at 1223...

T
MCRO up to 430 already, missed the low to buy more, but hopefully sell the rest later!

V

That's an idea T, sold early as usual but wanted to lock some profit in! MCRO down as a strong sell/sell in HL data!

S - Plus are on the up carrying of rom yesterday!

V

HL was fine just now for me.

Sold CCL @ 2048, 4.9% profit.

Seems the shares have read Treacle's Tips - closed yesterday on a rise, ( CCL, OCDO ) open this morning up, very quick shake ( I guess auto sells being filled ) and then carried on up. So locked in CCL profit, if a proper shake later I can buy back in.
MCRO languisjing....

HAve fun!

V

Morning all
CCL started off well, now dropping back.
Saw this on the CCL LSE chat - "Carnival, easyJet and Centrica poised to drop out of FTSE 100"
Any thoughts?

Seasoned trader indeed!!!! Did indeed see your chat with L, and think you are right.
I still buy in too early, sell to early, but I am getting better at that, and as I said re: MCRO I may miss the peak, I can wait for a rebound, I am not insistent on a day trade! When the price is on a move, I do watch it intently, looking at the spread and when buy gets way ahead of sell I know sell price will rise...

Have to get over my fear of buying in on a rise .. I have got caught out a couple of times ( price fell right after! ) but also FOMO as these shares keep on rising ... if I don't buy in now I will likely not buy in when they are ££ higher ( e.g. Ocado, I was fine at £10, £12, £15 but loathe to jump in as they hit record highs, £17, £21 ) but have done so twice this week to a profit!

Yep, bit more towards the Tesla. Probably a smoke grey one.

V

M - well done, you're getting the hang of it ( says the 3 month veteran trader - me! ). The trading platforms can be a pain, as we have seen this week / last week on HL and IG.
I admit I sort of follow what T, S, others here are watching ( shares ) and have a nosey and look into them, as I quite like a volatile share with quick / large increase * and decreases !! ) so can profit or recover quite quickly, even if not same day. That, and the helpful explanations have guided me into trading... although I still have a few peccadillo's about selling at a loss and/or buying at a higher price than selling! But it does work!
I think luck comes into it ... and watching what the price is doing, the spread, any news etc.

Good luck

V

S - did you eat ice cream and candy floss? Did you bring me a souvenir?? ;-)

Odd day, lost first hour or more with HL prices, couldn't get a trade etc. so spent half the day looking at the prices and reading up on T line, EMA8, candlestick charts etc. My brain hurts!

I did buy into OCDO too early at 2025 as I was kicking myself for missing out on it's last few big rises and rises on CCL, ASC, and seeing how some of the other Brigadier's fave shares had big rises.
Then OCDO dropped into the 1960's DOH! / and I grabbed another tranche at around 1969.

Watched MCRO go up and down and watched it hit 464 and didn't sell, before it fell to 437! DOH!

Last thing, OCDO climbed quickly so I sold half my cheap tranche at 2033 for a profit, hoping the price rises back to 2100+ tomorrow and i can make a decent profit.

Last thing I popped into CCL at 1185 so lets hope that one rises tomorrow back to the 1300's!

So exciting in parts...

Night all!

V

MCRO well down now, but OCDO coming up!

I watched MCRO hit 463 ... intended to sell half my holding, didn't ... and fell back to 52 ish! DOH! as S would say.

"there's always tomorrow"

Hi L,

That's an idea, I don't want 2 accounts, but a fre one that worked with live prices and better charts would be useful.
I'l look into it this week!

Cheers

V

T - Indeed!

CCL was well into the 1300's, dropping a bit now.

I struggled first thing but don't think I missed/lost much.

As most shares seem to be rising currently I need to grab the nettle and dive in on the rise like CCL!
I am sure we'll be fine on OCDO this week.

As I am OK to hold a day or two if in a loss position I can wait, just means no trading in between!

Go whak some weeds!
V

M - sorry I confused you, I only pinched the info on candlesticks from IG, I use HL. I should be down to 5.99 a trade for next month as I have over 20? trades in may!

R, M - sweepstake on when OCDO turns the corner and SP goes up ... hmmm.. seems profit takers and money markets have decided ( as lockdown looks like easing ) to go hunt weak shares on the rise elsewhere and sold up on OCDO.. hence the >140p fall today! So I'd guess slow recovery next few days and maybe a rise by/after interim results on 7 th July? It's been a fantastic month/quarter for home delivery groceries and Ocado has done well out of it.
SO I'll say 1980 end of today, 2020 tomorrow, 2050 close of play Friday?
This does not constitute financial advice!

V

T
Yep, I bought into OCDO on the fall, but before the bottom. Where upon I bought more OCDO at 1969 I think. So need over 2000 to start into profit based on the average!
MCRO are teasing me .. bit of profit but not much, then drops again .... 450-460 seems a resistance.

The learning occurrence recently for me has been to BUY in after I sell even if more than I sold far ( I still have problem getting my head around that!! ) so that I can take advantage of the continuing rise ... missed out on Cine, CCL and previous weeks OCDO and DGE and look at their upward progress!

See where we get to today/this week!

Enjoy the sun and trading

Time to read up on candlestick charts - some good info on IG site!

OK, interval can be 1, 15, 30, hour - going to 15 min interval DOES give candlesticks that look right!

Had a play with EMA ( 20 day ) with period 8 on HL's interactive charts.
When I select chart type candle red/blue the chart changes from a line to lots of thin blue vertical lines ( very thin candles? ) which look Nothing like those in L's screenshots. Maybe HL doesn't do proper candle? Or I have a setting ( 1 min interval at the time ) to short?

I'll keep playing as the shares fall....

V

S - you and your T-line was right!!
Hope T was right and the drop is done for today!

V

In OCDO at last.

That was a battle.... price was well out, so I would have bought at 2045 when price was 2021... then quote was pulled, then no quote... then tried a limit buy and said no funds - so have I already bought ? No. It was as I already had a limit buy ( 1920 !! ) from days ago .

Finally got a trade! 2025

Let's see them soar!
