The A.I. trailing tools, such as TSL, Trailing Stop Buy, and Trailing Stop Short, enable clients to set stop losses and buy orders based on specific market movements. 

For instance, Trailing Stop Buy tracks the price down and places a buy order as soon as an uptrend begins, while Trailing Stop Short tracks the price down and closes the short as soon as the price starts to rise. TTP allows traders to set their TSL to trigger only after reaching a certain profit, minimizing risk, and maximizing profits.

Car Enthusiast Urges Drivers to Assess Value of Private Registration Plates Following £73k Auction Sale

0

An expert in the automotive industry is advising drivers who possess private registration plates to evaluate their current value, especially in light of a recent auction sale that reached an astounding £73,000.

According to the latest data from the DVLA auction, a registration plate bearing the characters “5 PS” was successfully sold for the staggering amount of £73,010 on Wednesday, May 17.

Comparatively, similar plates were sold for significantly lower prices during the 1990s. For instance, the registration plate “4 PS” was purchased for £5,100 in April 1993, while “6 PS” fetched £5,800 in July of the same year.

Jon Kirkbright, the sales director at PlateHunter, emphasizes that the notable difference in these figures highlights the potentially lucrative nature of investing in private registration plates.

The expert explains, “I consistently advise that private number plates have the potential to double in value every three to five years. Investing in a private plate is an excellent financial opportunity since their value often appreciates over time.”

The recent sale of “5 PS” for £73,010 by the DVLA this month serves as compelling evidence of this phenomenon. In contrast, “6 PS” was sold for a mere £5,800 in July 1993.

This suggests that similar number plates, previously sold for a fraction of their current price, could potentially achieve similar or even higher valuations.

“Without comparing such instances, many customers may be unaware of the substantial increase in value their plates have experienced since their initial purchase several decades ago,” adds Kirkbright.

He further emphasizes that such evidence of increased value and sound investment choices can greatly influence potential buyers.

The following table showcases a few additional examples of registration plates, their auction prices, and the corresponding dates of sale:

Registration | Price (Auction) | Date
1 PS | £22,000  | January 1995
2 PS | £5,600 | October 1993
3 PS | £6,000  | January 1993
4 PS | £5,100 | April 1993
5 PS | £73,010  | May 2023
6 PS  | £5,800  | July 1993
7 PS | £5,750 | November 1993
8 PS | £6,200 | March 1994
9 PS | £4,200 | June 1994
10 PS  | £13,000 | September 1991

PlateHunter takes pride in being the most affordable number plate supplier in the UK, offering over 56 million personalised plates for sale. Prices start as low as £25 plus VAT and transfer fees.

Furthermore, the company provides a convenient online service for free registration valuations, ensuring a hassle-free experience for interested individuals.

Mr. Kirkbright urges owners of private registration plates to inquire about their potential current worth.

He remarks, “We receive approximately 250 valuation requests daily. Our team carefully reviews each request and provides customers with the price we would offer for stock, as well as the expected retail price.”

Data indicates that shorter number plates are in higher demand during auctions and tend to yield higher returns. Earlier this month, a registration plate with the characters “82 O” was sold for a staggering £70,000.

Other plates sold at the auction included “41 0VE,” which fetched £37,510, and a plate displaying “180 Y,” which was sold for £37,060.

When it comes to purchasing private number plates, people often seek plates that resemble their names, initials, or meaningful words. Additionally, they may choose numbers that hold significance, such as birthdays or other special occasions.

Mr. Kirkbright adds, “Our unique selling point is offering the most affordable number plates in the country, starting at just £25. People have various reasons for desiring private number plates. Some wish to conceal the age of their vehicle, while others have encountered issues with cloned plates resulting in frequent parking tickets or speeding fines.”

PlateHunter boasts an impressive trading history of 11 years, standing out from the competition with its excellent customer reviews and down-to-earth, highly experienced team.

Cahootz Group Ltd has revealed its forthcoming launch of an innovative fractional property investment platform. The platform is designed to enhance accessibility to property investments by eliminating entry barriers and reducing the challenges associated with traditional buy-to-let investing.

In collaboration with innovative property developer Knight Dragon, Cahootz has chosen to launch the platform in the UK by offering fractional ownership of rental properties at Greenwich Peninsula. This £8.4bn development represents Europe’s largest regeneration project, transforming over 150 acres of land into a new urban neighborhood featuring 17,000+ homes and 48 acres of green public space. With over 5,000 residents already residing in the Peninsula and many more to come, this riverside destination presents a prime investment opportunity.

Investors will have the opportunity to explore property listings and invest in high-value London rental properties with minimum investments starting as low as £2,750 (£5,500 for first-time investors). Cahootz will handle all legal and financial purchase processes as well as ongoing property management on behalf of investors, who can monitor their portfolio through the Cahootz web application.

“At Cahootz, we are dedicated to providing complete transparency,” added Petri Kivinen, Co-Founder and CCO of Cahootz Group Ltd. “From purchase costs to a detailed breakdown of monthly rental income and expenses, investors will have full visibility of their properties via their portfolio dashboard.”

Cahootz offers a unique opportunity to invest in high-quality rental properties in the UK, catering to both first-time property investors and experienced landlords seeking to diversify their portfolios without increasing their time commitments.

Initiative Calls for Greater Inclusion of Male Teachers to Enhance Diversity in Education

0

MCTJ (Male Childcare & Teaching Jobs), a groundbreaking platform connecting male educators with inclusive schools and nurseries, is urging education policymakers to prioritize gender diversity in classrooms.

MCTJ is dedicated to promoting diversity in our education system, creating an inclusive environment that nurtures the holistic development of children,” says Claudio Sisera, Head of Diversity at MCTJ.

Research highlights the underrepresentation of male teachers in early childhood, primary, and secondary education. Despite offering unique perspectives and innovative engagement methods, the contributions of male teachers often go unnoticed.

MCTJ aims to bridge the gap between male educators and inclusive educational settings, raising awareness about the need for policy-level changes. These changes include adopting gender-neutral hiring processes, providing inclusive teacher training, and launching campaigns to challenge gender stereotypes within the teaching profession.

Claudio Sisera urges policymakers to embrace a more gender-inclusive approach in education strategies, stating, “Our platform is just the beginning. We need systemic changes to make teaching an attractive and viable career for men.”

“Having positive male role models in education is crucial to inspire more young men to join the profession,” say Julie Robinson and Mandy Worsley, hosts of the Lancashire Bee Mindful Awards.

MCTJ remains committed to driving significant changes in the education sector. Their mission extends beyond connecting male educators with inclusive employers. They aim to reshape societal perceptions, dismantling barriers that have historically discouraged men from pursuing teaching. By promoting gender-inclusive learning environments, MCTJ seeks to enhance classroom dynamics, provide diverse role models for young learners, and create a true reflection of our diverse society. This approach not only enriches the educational experience for all children but also paves the way for a future where educators of all genders are equally recognized and valued.
