Airlines usually request for a doctors report(sometimes called Fit to Fly) for pregnancies between 28-32weeks at the time of departure, most airlines will not allow any pregnant woman beyond 32weeks to board. You need to find out the guidelines for the airline you intend to board to the U.K.

Cool bro. I was hoping we will get a crypto tread so that we don’t derail this as I don’t know if this is acceptable here. But I will just keep it brief and ask that I am permitted.

I use a site called (gate.io). It an exchange but has some features that makes it good for this type of daily trading.

There is a tab “Top Gainer”. This is a list of coins making profit at the minute (not all coins in the world, but all that is on the exchange itself). From my research I discovered that there are coins (I call them magic coins). They just pop on the top Gainers list at the top (between 1 to 4). This coins happen between 3 to 5 days in a week. They can start with a position of say 0.001 and go as high as 0.03, sometimes not up to that. Maybe 0.001 to 0.008. Using the last example that is already a multiple of 6x+.

Because this coins are magic coins they go high and drop within hours to say 0.002 or there about. Now after hitting that 0.002 - 0.0025 range, they will do a little upward movement again to maybe 0.003 or 0.0035. Now you will notice this is a 50% movement if you entered around 0.002 to 0.003. This process will repeat for about 2 to 3 times within 10 to 15hrs and the coin will finally crash. Sometimes the coin doesn’t crash, it keeps moving up to maybe 0.005. I don’t advice new people to wait for those run again as this then required knowledge of graph and lines. I only advice you pick your 30 to 40 or 60% and go your way. I call this a student pattern of trading and I will explain to you why I call it that.

For you to get this process, you have to monitor and watch the coin (atleast for a first timer). With time you know how basically the coins work. Yes, there are alerts you can set to make it easier, but sometimes the alerts don’t come fast as these coins do magic runs. As a student what I did was, when any coin comes up, that is when I start to cover material that I missed, so I start to do my school work and monitor the coin as well. I try not to get to carried away with the book as a little deviation you don miss the good entry point. With time you will know when to check for these coins and basically the times they appear (I will leave that for your learning).

If you have seen me write anything about trading, you will always see “eliminate human greed”. That’s the only thing that comes between a money maker and loser. I have been using this pattern for quite some time now so I know when to possibly enter. Sometimes I set my entry point so low that it doesn’t get me into the market. I let it go and don’t chase the coin or I just wait for it second fall.

It’s as simple as that. If we have a tread I could do a live trade one day and share images of entry and exit point for the whole period of that trade.

Warning:
1. This pattern of trading is not something to be greedy with like MMM where you won’t to make all profit. There are possibly millions of people working with either same or similar tactics, so it becomes who comes out first.

2. Crypto trading is riskier than most investment. You can loose all in a blink of an eye.

3. What I have described is a trading for just getting things to move on with life. Like investing $100, then get $20 or $30 to feed as a student (why I call it student trading). Yes I make more cos I actually invest more than that, but i strongly advice to try with little amount of money.

4. Make sure to have an idea about crypto trading before you try this student trading pattern as I call it.

5. For your first tryout, you don’t have to put any money. Just try on assumption. Like in your spirit you enter at a particular point, you record it and the amount you have supposedly entered with, then when you pull out, you record and estimate what it would have been.

If we have a room. We could do a live trading and show some things that are important that I may not have added now. I have skipped all those trading jargons and graph and all that. Those I use for proper trading. This is just let us get a $30, $200 dollar feeding/upkeep money, depending on what you have invested.

Also the gate.io site is a Chinese site, and it has a chat room “news” be careful what you read there as people tend to lure you into investing in a coin telling you it will go 100x in few minutes. I advice you stick to why you are on the site. After some time you will join them in the chat and add your own and take their own knowledge too.

Please my compatriots, AVOID GREED, get some little percent increase and move on to the next coin. Don’t tie all your needs on one coin. It might end in tears… All I have said has an easier way to do then (like setting up alerts and using graph and all that), but I have found this rugged way to be a way of improving one’s knowledge about the trading and exposing you to newer things that even I may not know.
Thanks once more my brother. This info/strategy will definitely go a long way in shaping my trading going forward.

A crypto thread headed by great minds like yours will definitely help many of us here with a need for extra income. One love!

I believe there are people on here who can add and make this strategy more productive for us all. Hustla has promised to create a thread for us all to share our idea.

Our Nigerian community abroad are not doing so well and we have to be honest, we need help. I don’t see any reason why you and I can’t share what we do to make something on the side provided it is LEGAL and not against any country laws. We have to help each other for us to grow as a community. When you travel abroad you will hide your face in shame or probably not mention where you are from. We can change that. In fact we are changing that already.

Nigerias contribution to the crypto community has grown. We are ranked 6th out of 20 countries contributing and involving in crypto worldwide. I believe someday we will drop our other involvement on internet activities and focus on the crypto since no one gets hurt technically.

God help us.

The offshoot trading thread for Chreze, should I create it in the investment section or in the travel section so other students can benefit?

You don’t need to create another thread in any section as there are loads of it already in investment section and I think business as well.

Travel section is the wrong section for such thread

How will your wife cope with studies? As it’s she can only manage to scale through first semester before giving birth, her visa will run out before the end of her course then all of you will pay again to get extension.

Hi guys, what are the chances of some of us studying courses that are not in the shortage list? Will it be hard or impossible for us to get sponsorship ? Also , if after the 2yrs PSW there's no sponsorship, which other ways are there to remain legally staying in this land ?

These questions have been answered before. I'll just add.

1. Nothing is impossible. Although chances to getting a sponsored job is less on the course you studied and more of what you know - experience, except maybe doctors, nurses and the likes. There's sponsorship for care jobs now. While you're studying courses outside the shortage list, learn something aside, maybe an IT certification and training or data analysis as a backup plan.

2. If after PSW and no sponsorship, let your spouse switch to study and repeat the cycle. Otherwise, do a PhD, start planning for it a year in advance. Another strategy is to get married to someone that already has parmanent stay.

After this post I had to search for the threads and I saw one created hours ago by REJNR. I asked if we could join to add our discussion and possible share some trading tactics. And the handle said we can proceed. So I guess we can join on the thread and start or continue our talks about crypto on there.

My people,

I have been a silent follower of this thread and UK student thread for months. I have read and keep reading to learn and channel my course from many experiences in this forum. Thanks to great contributors like Justwise, chreze, Fatimo04, Lexusgs430,Scoobydo, Lagosishome, HRguy, Dupshe and many others too numerous to mention (apology if I wrongly spelt ur ID)

Following my learnings from here, I have successfully entered UK (Glasgow to be precise) with my family via student (UWS, Lanarkshire) route. Currently in BnB as advised for next 2 weeks while searching for permanent residence. I am searching on openrent, Gumtree, Zoopla etc

My campus is in Lanarkshire, Scotland but my priority is best school for my kids (16,15,13 &10). In my search, Refrenshire has best schools but we like to have local/close to ground information that can guide me in areas to focus on while searching for accommodation.

My 1st intention for relocation is to get my teenager children into UK university without paying international fees as UK resident (getting best education at reasonable cost) and I guess to achieve that, I have to start looking beyond my 1-yr master program. I need a lot of guidance on this. I am open to work/setting up business (good in pastry, restaurant and supermarket)

I got a hint that as a student even if am a resident, my dependent going to university/college will still pay international fees. Pls I need confirmation on this for my guidance. My first child (will be 17 by Apr) is to enter final class in High school and should be going to higher institution later this year.

My husband is willing to support via his work back in Naija and be visiting for now. He’s open to changes as event unfolds.

Thanks in advance as I look forward to your sincere advice.

Welcome to the UK. I hope Scotland is not too cold for you.

Regarding the bolded, not sure that is possible as I believe You will still need to pay international fee for universities for your dependants if you are on student or work visa as you have stated in the 5th paragraph.
