Find a share that's 'guaranteed' to keep going up, such as Microsoft.    Bet that it will go up (by a small percentage).   Repeat & rinse.

 

 

(I've only been doing this for 3 days, so don't take my word for it lasting.  Lol.      But it appears to work so far).

If it's actually shares not SB or CFDs you're talking about, then I made £5000 on one share in the period of a couple of weeks (in my pension).    Lost it all coz I failed to put a stop loss on.  Thought it would only last a short period going down...     It didn't, and I lost all that I had gained.   But then again, that was in the very early days;  I've learnt since then.

To become a more successful trader you will unfortunately have to experience what its like to lose money on trades.  You will then learn from your trading of what just happened and change your strategy to become better next time.  You can always practise from a virtual or demo account - but be realistic and input figures and trades you would have actually traded for real.   

 

Always only invest money you can afford to lose - assume when the trade is placed, you lose 100%.  Do not place the trade if you cannot accept that.    Anything you gain then is a bonus. 

 

Understand the fees/charges your broker charges and possibly try different platforms to see which one works best for you.  If you are trading you can end up spending a lot of time at a pc screen(s).  It would be wise to invest in a comfortable seat and take regular air breaks throughout the day - step outside for a few minutes.

 

How to make money from trading is simple BUY low, SELL high!  Through time you will learn how to get it more right than wrong.  I have my own trading strategy that works for me but everyone else has their own methods and ways of trading.  You learn and use your own then you will be dedicated to learn more.

 

good luck whatever happens

    • Sainsburys full year earnings and Unilever’s first quarter trading update both say the same thing, UK consumers are in for higher prices. The war in Ukraine, supply chain issues and the effects of ongoing Covid all to blame.      
    • US Dollar (DXY) Daily Price and Analysis US Q1 GDP may stall the greenback’s advance. A 20-year high nears for the US dollar. The multi-month US dollar rally continues with the greenback printing a fresh high today ahead of the first look at US Q1 GDP at 12.30 GMT. The US dollar basket (DXY) has been boosted by renewed weakness in the Euro and the Japanese Yen, as investors move from lower-yielding to higher-yielding currencies, while safe-haven flows continue to benefit the greenback. The US growth release later in the session is expected to show a sharp slowdown from the robust Q4 figure of 6.9%. The markets are currently pricing in growth of just 1% for the first three months of this year, with the slowdown mainly due to a reduction in inventory accrual over the quarter. This release is unlikely to move the greenback, unless there is a large miss or beat, as the Fed believe that 2022 US growth will be robust enough to let them tighten monetary policy sharply without damaging the economy. The latest US Core PCE data – the Fed’s preferred inflation reading – is released on Friday and this may have more effect on the US dollar than today’s GDP data. For all market moving economic data and events, see the DailyFX Calendar. The ongoing US dollar rally has been aided by weakness across a range of G7 currencies including the Euro, the Japanese Yen, and the British Pound. The Euro continues to battle with lowly growth expectations, exacerbated by energy concerns, the British Pound is mired by weak economic data, while the Japanese Yen is in freefall as the BoJ continues with its ultra-loose monetary policy.   The US dollar continues to press higher and looks set to break above 103.96, the March 2020 high. Above here the US dollar would be back at levels last seen nearly two decades ago. The March resistance will likely hold in the short-term, especially with month-end portfolio rebalancing at the end of the week, but US dollar strength is set to continue in the months ahead.
