Trading the stockmarket (NO Referrals)

No I will actually invest, although funds that would be going in to this would not be on its way to maxing the ISA which is my plan for the next month or two

I will start funding In to the market index at some point


Probably already missed a good opportunity

We are not your parents nor your financial advisors.. I don’t think anyone here wants that responsibility.

One thing for sure, most of us wished we started sooner.

Is is why financial advisors exists.. it’s not just the so called market advise but the mental support.

It is normal to be down just after you buy.

I find i am almost immediately down using t212 especially on US shares , no 1 the fx fee and no 2 with placing a market order you get filled at the best available price ,without level 2 info that can end up a big immediate spread if the price backs down (and you get filled at a higher than expected price)

China is talking to Spain currently, and wants to get much closer to Europe and just let America stew in their own isolationist juices.

@mattyfez that doesnt tell me anything it jusat tells me the type of junk they are exporting.

like the 25bil of electrical stuff we import from China.


How much of it is random named goods on amazon with random English or German sounding brand names.

are these goods ever tested for fire safety? I'm guessing no.

It's literally mass produced absolute rubbish, who are the high end chinese brands for electronics? how many of them use other peoples patents without permission?

no one ios competing with china on an even footing its all trash

From my own experience on t212 is the broker doesnt actually make orders for you but just matches them to existing orders, spent a week trying to buy a mmf by setting a buy order bellow the market price not ridiculously below, every single day there was market sells dropping candles below my buy order and it never filled not even a partial.

Point I'm making is it's not all trash, you can't make a sweeping statement like that with any kind of seriousnes....

Just one example off the top of my head... Edifier active speakers are chinese... I could spend all day listing things like that but I suspect you don't want't to hear it! :D
