Has the $2trillion helped the markets? Pundits were saying stocks have gone down now it was agreed!
Looks like MCRO stayed up well, Ocado bobbled around and others rose!

I see Prince Charles has tested positive for the virus- and has to self isolate in a separate castle, with Camilla in an other wing.
( and the staff they took with them somewhere else!).

And the Queen isolating in another castle with Philip.

Good job they had castles to spare!

Saw your message, thanks. MCRO going the right way, I'll keep an eye on it!

V

Thanks T,
I'll get there!

Was going OK on Ocado last week then I bought too early ... but will be fine soon!
Cheers

I am not happy selling at a loss, and as you say, keep waiting thinking the price will recover.. but half the time I HAVE sold on a loss just so I can trade ... was doing so with Ocado until I bought too early so waiting a while.
Other fault of mine was to "chase the fall" and kept buying MCRO as hey fell .... fell .... fell... now as no dividend to help offset the loss, just holding on to them!

At least looks like MCRO, OCDO and others are rising just now...

Ocado new low .... 1198 .....

T
I'd like to think so! ( MCRO ) They stand me at over 600 ... so well down at moment but if they DO move up it's worth a look!

Argh , it's one of those HL glitches ... must be an auction? Sell 384, buy 302 !
Sorry Brigade!!

MCRO having a surge! Chart says buy!!! at 384

My Sunday night post on today's predictions was well off!

Last week made a couple of 2-3% increase in shares trades on Ocado, after losing 20%+ on sale so was starting to recover... but in a hole at 1432 now .. trading out it isn't working for me!!!

Going to sit and watch Ocado and Mcro for a while!
See what I can do on Diageo ..but 30% down on shares too so far but with a £1.50+ range most days my well work out!

V

PS had a message on HL when I logged in that they are very busy!!! I guess trades will be hard to get there then??

I feel a rise in many share prices Monday morning ... bounce from Friday falls.

Was it these?

BAA plc, a former British airport operator, now called Heathrow Airport Holdings

S,
I can't see the HL stochastic chart offering sell/buy prices, it offers indication when the lines are in certain relative positions.
It's set for 1 minute update ( others are 15min, 30, 1 hr I think).
I'm using the fast stochastic chart mainly, W%R is set up and shows same coloured sections when action suggested as the stochastic.

Hi G,

on the HL platform, there is a tab fo charts and performance, with lots of options in 3 drop down lists. In the lower indicatiors drop down there is a chart for cyclical analysis - fast stochastic . This has an average/trend line and an activity line, and when they cross in certain regions ( above 80, below 20 ) it suggests a buy or sell. There is a help (i) button on top of the graph to explain .
Basically if the pink line is below 20 and blue line crosses above it it suggests a buy, and reverse if pink line is over 80 and blue line crosses below - suggests sell.
Ohh, I can copy / paste the help!
"Stochastics indicate the point of a security's price within the price range of the current period. They are useful to gauge sideways-moving markets. Indicator %K crossing above %D while %D is below 20 generates a buy, while indicator %K crossing below %D while %D is above 80 generates a sell. Fast stochastics are not smoothed (like slow S.) and thus get more market noise."
Can't paste the chart.

Ocado saying buy now!! 1412

HL Stoic doesn't say buy MCRO.
But had just said buy OCDO @ 1397.

Bought in Ocado @ 1425, about 3.2% more shares than mid week ( but still less than 2 weeks ago! ).
Watching charts and price drop, may have bottomed now??

Found them! Weird, wouldn 't refresh had to reload page!

Where have the pages after 43 gone??

Does your trading platform ( IG ?? ) let you see buys, sells, over the last XX days? If so print them off or d/load and put into a spreadsheet.

It does get messy if you buy several tranches of shares before a sell, then buy and sell again and again but you should be able to list all buys in each stock on a spreadsheet page ( a few columns ) and all sales of that stock on same page below the block of buys it relates too ( in columns to the left say ) or even just a total buys total sales and value, - how much detail do you want - no. shares/price/total cost / fees, or just total cost?

If you need it for capital gains tax it would help.
That won't worry me this year ( CGT!) since I crystallised a couple of losses to free up capital to trade!

Well S,
I had a "learning occurrence" today with some historical shares in Diageo.
Seem volatile, usually over £1 range in day trading. Were £32 a couple of months ago.

Now the paper share has been transferred to HL I can trade them. So sold on what I thought was a spike ( limit trade, I was out shopping for food for the son when he comes back from Uni this weekend! ) 2300 .. of course it climbed to highest for days 2380+.
Got a limit buy at 2200 for the morning...

Exciting here innit!
