Where do you trade ETF's? That's instant (and free) on Trading212, but they don't have a huge range. Elsewhere (ii. IE. HL. AJB.) they hang on to your money for a week. 10% a year? That's not very ambitious!

Well done to both of you, good for Forum Spirit. @1nvest, I'm sure many of us would appreciate more info about the strategy which was used. Would it be possible to see that document you kindly sent to Robert. I've read through the thread, and I'm sure I'm missing something. So far for the Long...

Hang on, it all depends where you go. You can pay through the nose if you pick the wrong place, but somewhere cheap may not even have the asset you want. Then there's the platform's usablity and features. Invest Engine is cheap for the what they have, but no shares, and they're slow for ETFs...

Certainly there have been great individual stocks but the attraction of India was that there's some diversification, away from US tech . Many of the bigger Indian stocks are financial, but with a number of other sectors. Unfortunately the market there is looking expensive now, the dollar and...

Not with you @ChelseaR Spreads - small on a long term position Swaps - accounted for & queried Volatility - is the position more threatened by volatility than simply putting 100k in the instrument unleveraged - no? Unless you use up your margin. No slippage if you're just holding RM - same as...

Thanks @timsk. I see it would only take a modest dip at 5:1. Is it possible to use SB at lower leverage? How about using SB with better tempered instruments. I need to dig, I'm being lazy and hoping someone has been round the loops. Perhaps the future's orange, but I don't suppose it's on any...

SB is regarded as "gambling" so tax free. Apparently 'they' could, but never have, chased anyone using it as a career. While the Spy is running say 25%, you could bet eg (ignoring extra margin requirement) 20k on margin at 5:1 Your 100k becomes 125k in a year. With a swap rate a couple of %...

An equivalent can. (Same for YINN vs KWEB) T212 don't make anything obvious, they just take your money! They dropped TQQQ a while ago, but they still do leveraged etfs in Isa and Invest. Where they have someting like SOXL in CFD the margin is 100%. As far as I know only a very few things are...

For Day Trading, TraderTV Live (youtube) is worth looking at - or having on all day because they give news/results/imbalances feeds. It's a prop firm in Canada There are 3 or 4 characters with different styles. I'll let you decide which you do/don't like! One is rather noisy. Basically they...

Hello @retired. I'm retired too ;) I'm working my way through the thread, with pullbacks, to try to follow. Bottom line, are you profiting from the analysis?

@NejemEddine You hear that a lot. Of course you need to practice, but the statement is really misleading. Unless you can analyse what went wrong, opening a hundred trades a day will give you consistent losses forever.. You need to go learn a lot about the basics, and then put into practice what...

Bloomberg Termnal is about $20kpa I believe. I get a certain certain amount of their output free on my phone. Interesting but not actual advice. I was referring to the likes of Zacks, or Motley Fool, there are many.

I mean the Zacks, Motley Fool, Trade Ideas or the magazine variety, which purport to name a stream of good stocks to buy, for various periods. It feels like, between them, these companies recommend every single stock on the market sooner or later. They charge a fair whack for doing so, as they...

Thanks for the full answer, D. I have been dicouraged by wide spreads, and swap rates!

It depends how you define swing trading, I think. I have never seen how the "the economic model used by the Central Banks." operates over a few days. Can you elucidate? Are you referring things to the likely upcoming support of the Yen by the J bank which may boost its value?
