Most people care when they compare themselves to the 'winning formula' people. We trade in isolation which is as unhealthy as comparing ones performance to the crowd.

I only trade fun penny stocks -the rest can go and do one!

Find your modus operandi. I'm rubbish with stocks, but do well with index options. However while I can tell you what trades I took in 2003 and I was profitable, I had little idea about trading. I understand options and I understood the mechanics of options, but nothing comes close to seeing...

As if this wasn't blatant sickmaking BS with the fascist party drooling over the prospect of more mass murders

I don't think Zimbabwe had many creditors- the trust had evaporated many years ago. IMF and World Bank were sick of Bob's antics. China is busy plundering raw materials there.

The Zimbabwean army were hired out to places like Eritrea for $75 US per day. Mugabe got wind of this and paid them in Zim dollars. They went on the rampage and demanded the army 'pensions' too. Bob was terrified and opened up the flood gates. Then they started on taking the white farmers' homes...

https://www.theice.com/marketdata/reports/265 The only index - FTSE is traded in £. You may find other products if you have a look around theIce.com Frankly I found no difference in bang for buck between FTSE and SPX in temrs of trading options in £ on FTSE against $ on SPX.

What kind of moron buys calls? Dumbest trade of the month. Cannot be bothered to look up the losses, I trade the UK only

Having lived in Zimbabwe I can tell you the intent was not to devalue the currency. Africa is a basket case, too many countries run by dictators whose only concern is emptying the coffers to buy shiny things. South America seems to suffer the same BS. Imagine a democracy with no natural...

Options can give you a free lunch with dessert!

I have traded both long and short futures in the same account but of course different entry levels. With options you could do this with timing -you'll get lucky 1 out of 3 times

CME has a strategy simulator and frankly all their stuff is excellent but I'm an old dog who sticks to what I know in UK index options. You have to register it's free and worthwhile- I only use this...

This is basic but might help https://optioncreator.com/stuskul

Spreads will eliminate margin -don't be cheap. I remember when Iron Condors used to work....

LOL- make a profit then worry about tax! If you think you'll hit CGT threshold you should be trading for a living and paying income tax . Spreadbets are not taxed but then 95% of people lose their money -just look at IG index

Have you factored in dividends? Also while prices appear on a screen they may not exist when you try to trade. I would never sell at the bid -you sure about those prices?

How you doing? You ok?

SWIFT is in Belgium, it's a messaging system and only Hungary (Poodle of Putin in charge) has opposed the move. Real sanctions would start with opening up every oligarch mansion in the UK to squatters. Next- all the stock market ramping up is Russian oligarch money that was sitting in traceable...

I have a secretsauce method that makes 50%+ p.a. Do I trade it? Of course not, I'm an idiot like most people!
