Don’t overtrade. Don’t panic sell. Don’t buy on the back of a big rise. Don’t get involved in IPO’s.

Have patience. Read everything on the forum. Try to keep deposits to a minimum until you’re sure on how the market moves. Always think in percent not pounds. Never be afraid to ask for advice on here, but your absolute top priority should be to enjoy the ride 👍 welcome to FI.

@ScouseSte Don’t be sorry for the negative vibes, it’s hardly a “panic and pull your money out” post, the forum needs healthy discussion!

For me, the fun certainly hasn’t stopped, but these offers are certainly diminishing it. I totally echo some of the other sentiments in this thread, the recent offers have caused me to trade less. The fundamentals of the product are brilliant, I have no problem with offers but the amount of offers and complexity of offers is putting me off.

Every time they say “Big surprise coming! 🚀” and follow it up with another offer that takes ages to digest it creates an anticlimax - and I’m not just hoping for a deposit bonus, it could just as well be positive news on Nasdaq or new territories, but instead it’s this super match day bullshit.

Perhaps us on the forum are the minority and everyone else eats up these crazy offers?

Can you not just do port value + balance, - net deposits?

@Martyn-B I actually think this is the most confusing part of the promo - why not 150?

Or do we think it is actually 150 traders, and it was just another proof reading gaff?

If this wasn’t such a fantastic product there’s no way I’d trust these jokers with my money. Appreciate some issues around ipo’s etc may be due to tech, but simply communicating offers effectively and proof reading mass emails before they’re sent should be absolutely basic for any company.

The email does say “Selected customers only” sorry bro.

I am a little confused as to what you win however? It’s a bonus for the footie passing 150k, yet they’re paying out 130 traders (why not 150?) and I’ve looked through the email and (please someone correct me if I’m wrong) it doesn’t say anywhere what the prizes are. It simply says Cash Reward.

I’m sure it will be a decent amount of cash, but if it doesn’t specify a value it could be any amount, even under £10 (I know that’s not likely, but if you’re pushing a promotion surely you want to put the prize money very clearly?!)

Really think Rashford - he’s bottomed our after the injury, but will sure rise and be talked about in the run up to his return - he has Euros and not far off half the price of Sancho. I can’t see him leaving united for a number of years and he’s still young and English - the only downside I see is your money tied up for a month or two, but surely it’s as safe a bet as you can make right now.

I listed 50 Mbappes recently (less than a week ago) and they sold relatively quickly, in the space of maybe two days. Hope that helps!

I would be concerned if United were paying £50mil plus for a “pretty average player”...

But then again, how much did we spend on Fred?

@Ericali absolutely spot on - playing catch up in a busy transfer window is dangerous for anyone, but for a club of Uniteds size, given that other teams know we need investment, is a recipe to get swindled.

Unfortunately I’m not certain we are the number one destination for a lot of top players either, so I’m quite worried we’ll get the next few windows completely wrong.
