Sorry to know you lost money. Your post made my day ('Monday). I made losses playing the penny dreadful, until i nearly Iost half my portfolio.
There is no way i will save the money so i change my strategy only buying into shares that are running up on the chart, like Kate says moving average, stoc, rsi etc. i have now recovered half my losses.
Still some way to go but beats saving slowly. I dont buy into stock less than 40c at the moment until i can afford to gamble. I might get back to penny dreadful but i dont think so if my current strategy works.
Play safely, HC still very useful to make your entry and exit and learn about the FA and TA.
