I mean the bot buys and sells automatically for you, scalping. So you'd set a threshold to buy at and a profit margin to sell at and it's all automated.

If such a thing existed, do you not think everyone would be using it?

Well they do exist, Cleo bot for example.

Cleo

Is that what Cleo bot does? It buys/sells stock to make a profit?

I thought it was just a budgeting app.

I'm going to try a 1 month £50 scalping challenge.

Scalp volatile stocks or CC's a few times a day and see much you make at the end of the month.

Is this what youtubers are calling day-trading now?

Buy the dips, and all that.

Good stuff from aviva today.
More dividend increases, solid results. Share buy backs.

It's a good job as I'm flat on ezj. And aviva is 50 percent of my Stocks&shares

Not a big enough crash for me to buy in yet. Be looking at 10-20 percent crashes

How much upside do you expect to miss out on before this 10-20% crash comes along?

I'm just trading ~2% swings at the moment. Ultimately I am in long-term, just making a little extra gravy on the way.

I just find it's impossible to have any idea of crypto swings. It. Could backtrack 5 percent. 10. 50.no idea

If get out at 20 and it flicks up. You've lost on down and up.

You just can't tell

Just follow the easy rules

Is it going down ? Buy x% at x price increments on the way down
Is it going up ? Sell x% at x price increments on the way up

Have some patience

And only buy things you'd be happy to hold incase the price doesn't go up in the time period you hope it will (see having patience)

You quoted me, and I wasn't talking crypto, and this is the stocks thread
