    very interesting!

    @lollerseddie I have had this question asked many times. I should have made myself more clear. The sell order at $29 is called a “stop-loss”. This is not your profit sell-order – it is your protective sell-order in case the trade did not go in your direction. remember that there is always a risk involved in trading, and therefore you need to decide when to exit in case you made a wrong call.

  3. lollerseddie says:

    hey…doesn’t that mean that you sell your stocks at a loss? Why would you want to do that? If I want to sell my stocks at a profit do I just put 35dollars at the “sell” part instead of 29?

    @jahanzeb360 Thank you Jahan. I appreciate it.

    @derekeskelson Thanks again Derek for your very kind comment. I would be happy to help you further in any way I can on my facebook fanpage (link is under my vid).

    @derekeskelson Hi Derek – thanks for your question. Unfortunately I do not trade CFDs. I do predominantly spreadbetting, share trading and options. So I am not the best person to answer your question. My advice is call up your CFD dealer/broker and ask them direct (from the dealing desk). Cheers.

    @zw0ecool Hi there. The answer is yes it is possible to buy a stock and hold as long as you wish. You are NOT forced to trade everyday (in fact this is, in my view, highly inadviseable). Btw – you’re correct, I should stop saying “essentially” so much. lol

  9. jahanzeb360 says:

    really nice video

    essentially essentially essentially LOL jk this video is great… I’ve been looking for a video that explains how to do this for some time now. I would also like to know if you have to trade when you sign up for these online broker accounts, like are you forced to trade everyday, is it possible to just buy a stock and keep it for as long as you want?

    dear alessio, i have a question, maybe you know: i made a cfd (conract for difference) with royal bank of scotland, on the 19th of may. it’s my first time, so i donno some details. i made it for 30 days, betting 150 $ that the crude oil price would go up. when i check my acct, it says that the position is open. when the 30 day period is over, do i have to do anything? such as close the position?

  12. alessiorastani says:

    @derekeskelson Thanks very much. I do my best. Cheers for watching. Al

    @cerebulon Hi cerebulon. In regards withdrawing your profits from your account – it is very simple. First you fund your broker account with your deposit, then as you make money (profits) you just click withdraw funds and they will wire your money direct into your bank account. As for your 2nd question, no – there will be no confusion.

  19. cerebulon says:

    Hi alessiorastani, when you profit from a stock and sell it, how do you actually get the money that has been earned? Do they send you a check, a direct deposit? How do you pay for the initial purchase? Credit card?

    Also, regarding the “stop loss” and the “one triggers other: stock”, if you have multiple stocks, does the online broker automatically understand that the “one triggers other” refers to that same 1 stock? Is there any chance of it being linked to a completely different stock?

  20. alessiorastani says:

    @theracemixer With respect I am afraid I am unable to do that. For 2 reasons: one is that I am not legally allowed to give financial advice on the internet. The second is that even if I did tell you which companies are doing well, it would be meaningless, as there is no certainty that those companies would do well next month. My advice is: before you invest in a stock, first invest in yourself and get trained. Meet me on my facebook fanpage so I can recommend you a useful stock market course.

  21. theracemixer says:

    @alessiorastani
    could you please send me a list of company that are doing well
    thanks

  22. alessiorastani says:

    @theracemixer I would never buy a stock based on speculation about what’s going on in the health industry (or whatever industry). You need to know how to properly research your industry. Feel free to join my facebook fanpage (which is my online trading community) by clicking link below video. I usually post very useful info about which industries are doing best on my fanpage wall. Cheers.

  23. alessiorastani says:

    @Globe3333 Yes it is 100% safe. They need your passport details for tax and security reasons.

  24. alessiorastani says:

    @vashdastampedet As long as your stock is liquid and has good volume you’ll be able to sell it quite easily. This is why I avoid buying penny shares because most penny shares lack volume and liquidity. You don’t have to worry about someone buying it – just press the sell button. As to how long it takes to have your funds, this is something you need to ask your online broker (usually with 4-5 working days).

  25. alessiorastani says:

    @422082sp You can try Optionsxpress which does not have a minimum deposit requirement. To be honest with you, my advice is that if you are a beginner and you want to “experiment” with stocks, you may as well keep your money safely in the bank and not experiment at all. The risks involved in trading the markets are huge if you do not have adequate training.
