Potash futures how can I lose LOL.
I made a decent amount of money trading potash years ago. I was up about 1% a day when my money was in. My money was in 30 to 50% of the time. There was a predictable pattern at the time. Pattern stopped and I stayed out.Potash futures how can I lose LOL.
Looking for a pattern on whatever is actually a good move that I've contemplated but never used yet.I made a decent amount of money trading potash years ago.

I can't remember the actual numbers but IIRC I would buy when pot.to dropped below 100 and sell when it went over 130. Wait until it drops below 100 and start again. I rode that wave quite a few times. Sometimes, it would drop to 80 after I bought or 145 after I sold, but who cares, I had no way to predict those swings, I was happy with my 30%.Looking for a pattern on whatever is actually a good move that I've contemplated but never used yet.
used to be able to do that with Oil Hou.TO before it went pear shaped and ****** everyone who had anything in itI can't remember the actual numbers but IIRC I would buy when pot.to dropped below 100 and sell when it went over 130.

Oil has been very good to me this yearI am enjoying the ride with green & EV stocks. LI.V, GPV.V, BEP.TO, HPQ.V, GRN.V
I am kicking my self a bit for bailing at 10 but I wanted out of there bad as it had been so stagnant.Blackberry is killing it for me ... almost tripled my $ so far.
Btw, here's a technology I'm investing in when the opportunity presents itself. I'm pasting from the EV thread:
"Check out what3words. It's an app where the makers have put a 3m x 3m grid over the entire surface of the earth and each 3m squared section is assigned a 3 word address to exactly pinpoint where that location is.
It's going to be added to forthcoming GPS systems and will be essential for accurate drone delivery and autonomous driving where the drone/car needs to know EXACTLY where to drop off the package or pick up the passenger.
I can see that being added to the arsenal of tools of autonomous cars 1 day, especially after 5G."
I'm using Scotia tirade. I signed up when it was etrade and online discount brokerages weren't so plentiful. I'm not an active trader, I normally buy and hold so there is no big reason for me to switch.What platform are people using for trades? I've signed up with Wealthsimple.

RBC isn’t exactly a leader in this. Try TD direct investing.What stopped me from setting it up with RBC is their inability to make a working website. I tried to do their 10 minute signup at least 15 times before eventually giving up after multiple glitches, freezing etc. Don't even get me started on their terrible Online Banking site -- Disaster. Rather than calling and having to deal with them, I figured I'd do a little searching and came across this Online Brokers 2013: The best, and cheapest, online brokers in Canada which names VB as the top brokerage company. So I ended up, in a fraction of the time it took me to set up an account with RBC, making an account for this. I'll let you know how it goes.
RBC says this on their website
I'm guessing they charge per trade?
- All RBC Direct Investing clients enjoy a low commission of $9.95 flat CDN or US for each online and mobile equity trade[SUP]1[/SUP] with no minimum balance or trading activity required. Plus, when you trade 150 times or more per quarter, you pay $6.95 flat CDN or US per Canadian or US equity trade[SUP]1[/SUP].
Also according to the list on the globe and mail publication, Virtual Brokers' charges
31,203 dollars for every 1000 shares of a hypothetical 30 dollar microsoft share and RBC charges 31,191 dollars -- not too bad of a difference IMO.
Well... I mean, I'm not putting my money on the line to break even or to lose it all. Though I openly accept the fact that these are two possibilities and risks I'm willing to take for a potential smart investment.
That post was six years ago. Your comment may still be valid but the landscape has changed significantly since 2015.RBC isn’t exactly a leader in this. Try TD direct investing.
