I trade equities (companies and national indexes) and forex (currency)
I tend to make around £300-£400 a month depending on the month
However not all months are profitable

Thank you :smile:
Equities are like pieces of a pie .
I can buy shares in Coca Cola
That is an example of an equity purchase
Hope that helps

I've recently sold off a majority of my positions that I bought in the 'Corona dip'
Expecting markets to drop 3-5% in the not to distance future before continuing to ATH's

I sold all my airlines a few weeks back right before they started to dip again. I think FTSE 100 will be on a slow decline over the next couple years and generally most UK stocks are dogshit right now apart from PZ cussons which could be interesting.

what's your best stock ATM ? mine was royal Caribbean up 160% but sold that so it's now zoom at 50%. the rest of my portfolio hasn't been doing too well recently but my big stock I'm holding is whitbread , I think they will start to rise soon

yeah lol
FTSE is a worthless piece of ****
My biggest bagger was SHOP and TSLA
I sold them a bit earlier but more than a happy with 200% returns
Currently still holding $V and $PFE which are both up
Alongside having an investment portfolio , I regularly trade forex to get some 'side income'

Haven't heard this one before
What books did you use to learn ? Also, what indexes do you follow ?

That's why you created this BS AMA. Maybe, first, you should look into how fees are structures with pretty much all legit brokers, maybe also google execution lag, minimum order size, etc. before you start posting trash like this.
