Well done! I sold ORCL calls for 2% profit, bought & sold similar timing to Greg. Am I trading with the correct app? I’m with Trading 212 INVEST, should I be opting for CFD instead? Thanks in advance, Alastair
I'm not familiar with that platform, but I got in quick and the stock shot up minutes after I bought in. Always use limit orders and try to buy at Mid price or lower when you can, and sometimes you have to wait a minute for the price to fluctuate down slightly for the order to go through. Do the same thing when you sell always use limit and sell at Mid or above to get the best sell price, and sometimes you have to wait just a bit for the order to be filled. Buy low and sell high!!!
Thanks so much. Would you mind recommending a good platform? To allow adjustments i.e. selling at mid or above. My platform seems to have a basic press to buy.
I like TD Ameritrade and use their ThinkorSwim trading platform and I Highly recommend them even though they had terrible server problems Monday and Tuesday this week, I still have faith in them and Its back working like a fighter jet today. I have never had problems or delays before and I hope that doesn't happen again any time soon, and they charge .65 cents for each trade but to me Best isn't always free.
Some trades go great and some trades we have to wait. This is not a business for the faint of heart. Wait until the market demands us to start shorting. That is always an odyssey!!
Thanks Greg, sold ORCL calls for 14% profit!!!

Made 10% on this one minus trading costs

Ok, also out. I got 11.7% gain. Thanks Greg.
Nice
Thank you Gregory. I made my first trading profit 12.00 USD! I couldn't get in or get out when you did. Learning curve.
Ok, got out a little higher at 8.54% profit. Remarkable
Hi, I’m looking a recommendation for a good trading platform? Both for USA & UK.
If you have the money to put down I would use thinkorswim. They have a limit depending on what trading you are doing.
Many thanks!
You're welcome. Glad it worked out.
Thanks
Tried to get out high, couldn't. I'm still up, chart looks good, so I am going to try and squeeze a little more
