Gold

Apologies for the off topic question? Thought I’d ask the question as it been mentioned in this thread

I’ve only just got back into investing again, largely due to the volatility in the markets.

Which platform do you experienced traders use to execute your trades.

This is a question that has possibly been asked before.

I like IG for it’s charting capabilities, and I use it to execute CFD long positions. Is IG not liked amongst traders here?

If so so, and what’s the better options?

Thanks
All responses v.much appreciated

I closed my short on the gold at the 200 ma yesterday and went long....hopefully will bounce big now...fingers crossed..

Great post Libero....
You have to beat the dow and IG markets to win....never going to be easy....odds are always against you...hence why 70 or so % loose....

I don't like trading indices either tbh...but get tempted now and again....when big moves are happening...

These companies are really sneaky....my Daughter at University was asking me about trading....after a s/b-cfd company done a pitch/presentation at the Uni...

How can they be allowed to target students...when most of them will be on student loans!
shocking imvho...

I honestly believe that your trade might have been the correct one, just a mixture of volatility and a rather tight stop could have ruined it!

I'm watching from the sidelines... Did I believe the dow would crash (as would the FTSE and just about anything else)? YES!

Did I make huge gains from it? NO!

The swings are just mad - and these bookies know what they are doing. You could have the perfect plan, but if the goal posts are shifted (artificial points, super wide spreads), and maybe even removing the goal posts (telephone or "X" icons), then what chance to do we have?


I did once wonder, if i had a choice, between getting a million quid, or seeing IG and the like go bust, which option will I take?

I'd rather they bust than get a million quid - because them going bust (along with betting firms) would give joy and good mental health to millions of people!

(but that might be just me, so I'll go back to work - suffice to say, I'm enjoying the ChartsView revival!)
