What will the Allshare Index do today?

MONDAY 19 JAN 2026 IS A TRADING HOLIDAY
So Monday is off day. But we will Post our trading idea for Tuesday for everyone's benefit.

Let us have a nice weekend.

Vest Investment is a very understanding Platform. You can always ask them anything that is unclear. The platform is always looking fir ways to make our trading experience with the firm an interesting one.

The fact that I can trade without need to worry about paying any commission is great. Just imagine paying $0.75 on every trade. On Vest, the only hurdle is the need to open the initial account with the equipment of NGN150k, after that the you can start buying stocks with as little as NGN1.00 Which you can never do on a platform like Trove. If you buy a $1 stock At Trove you will pay $0.75 as commission

Entrepreneurrr:
I was just charged $2 by vest, saying it is monthly charges.

I did not understand, please how does this works?

---------------------------------
You are expected to keep your account active and trade up to $40 each month to avoid paying any interest.

Looking at the brighter side, the maximum current charge is $3, so you must have scored some point which reduced your charge to $2. This charge is still highly reasonable compared to minimum of $0.75 or 1.5% from Trove. I would have comment on chaka too, there charge is 1.5% too but will come down down to 1% if you trade up to $50 on a month. But Chaka technically speaking at the moment is a bad trading platform, you cannot use the platform to monitor your account performance.

So[b], in conclusion VEST is a good deal[/b], You trade up $40 per month and you achieve the zero commission status. Unfortunately for someone like me. I only received notice telling me how many points I have made for the month to achieve Zero commission, so I have not followed up on them charging any commission since I always exceed the minimum point to escape any commission charge.

TARGET TECHNICAL ANALYSIS US MARKET UPDATE: 16 JAN 2026

TARGET TECHNICAL ANALYSIS- FORECASTS FOR ALLSHARE INDEX TODAY

TARGET TECHNICAL ANALYSIS-LIVE MARKET COMMENTS.
What is the chart telling us.

LIVE UPDATE STOCK MARKET 14 JAN 2026
Market can be unpredictable. I am looking at the current price level for NASDAQ/OIL, both are trading contrary to our expectations.

I tried to consider why our initial analysis went wrong, we are wrong due to news (if we regard news as a temporary phenomenon). But, news is temporary, it is possible situation returns to normal by tommorrow. This is one of the reason why trend trading will always win in the long term.

Yesterday, I bought an oil stock (temporarily as long as US/Iran continue to issue threats, Oil is not likely to fall in price) and with Trump expecting lower oil price to prevent inflation/lower interest rate oil price should still go back to lower prices, our charts will take is through the journey. Our recent messages should contain names like: XXXX, CVX, XXXX etc. I believe this may be a trade I have to manage tigthly and I am ready to sell once Iran issue is over (Iran should be a small problem for US to handle, I just went and check which Country did Sadam Hussain belong to, IRAQ, Sadam once overan IRAN in the past. So I do not see IRAN giving US too much problem, if history is to be followed!!!

Also, following charts and to avoid buying at high, we need to use that our 2 RSI (or any trading system you have), it should be telling us to buy although gradually (XXXX, XXXX, XXXX etc)

Wishing all a good day .

What is the likely direction/ movement for the all share index today?

JesuisAkonese:
Please, help with the process of moving from Chaka trading platform to Vest.

---------------------------
This is a tough question.The best time to move your account is when your trading platform initiates, just like is currently happening at "Trove"

The step commence with you writing to the new firm you want to move to. They will ask you for your account statement to see your portfolio, Vest will promise to refund your transfer charges (in this case. Chaka will charge you, but Vest will probably refund the transfer charge that Chaka will Impose on you) after you have moved your account. For me you may be better of selling the stocks or some of your current stocks in Chaka, and then send the cash to Vest to open a new account for you.

The transfer procedure is likely to look like this (swe below):

_____________
Hello Akonese,

Thank you for your interest in the outgoing ACAT transfer.

We kindly request you to reach out to the receiving contra firm and request their transfer
instructions. The receiving contra firm will need to initiate an ACAT
transfer from their end. A request will be sent to our back office for
review and approval.

Please be advised, we only allow whole shares to transfer. No
fractional shares. We recommend the client liquidate their fractional
shares prior to transfer and the cash proceeds will be transferred out with the
ACAT.

There is a $100 ACAT fee for Full/Partial ACAT transfer charged to the
client's account prior to transfer.

Here are our SSI instructions for the receiving firm:

DTC 3021
Clearing Firm: Alpaca Securities LLC
MPID:APCA

Client's name: Name on account
Client's Alpaca account number: xxxxxxxxx
Contact: ACAT/Transfer of Assets Dept.
Business address: 3 East Third Ave, Suite 214 San Mateo, CA 94401


If these requirements are not met, the transfer can result in a possible
DK/Rejection and the contra firm will need to resubmit the request.

Let us know if you have any further questions!

Thank you,
ACAT Team

So, looking at the above, the charge will be around $100 to be charged by Chaka, then Vest will refind the $100 back to you once your account is with them (but note that total value of shares you are transferring must be up to about $ 4 00- $500 I cannot remember the figure again.

So, contact VEST and they will give you the latest details (in case they have introduced some new changes to the procedure).

Wishing you the best.

FOR THE PAST 5 DAYS, NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS IN THE MARKET- MY PORTFOLIO CLOSES ON THE GREEN SIDE
If you follow up my post. I have tried many times to see how my portfolio can become more diversified, it seems I am nearly there!!!

Although the recent gains are sometimes small (I am taking of gain on the whole portfolio not just one stock), I am happy.

The only thing I missed are those crazy gains on Biotech stocks, for now I have somehow avoided biotech stocks, I want to take my time to try and "rejig" my trading system before I venture back into the Biotech stocks. And I can say, avoiding Biotechs has veen a good decision fir now!!!

Wishing all a good night sleep.

Market continues to be strong. The allshare index beat our forecast by a wide margin today. This is a sign that we may take more risk in the market.

Today is not a bad day in the market.Apart from regular bullish sectors. The Chinese stocks showed some good movements to the upside

TROVE TO JOIN ALPACA
We want to see what Trove will do with Alcapa.

Chaka has been useless and clueless!!!

Trove should not disappoint!!!

TARGET TECHNICAL COMMENT
The US market should be bullish today.

ALL SHARE INDEX BEHAVING AS EXPECTED TODAY +0.92 AS TIME OF POSTING

TARGET TECHNICAL ANALYSIS ALL SHARE INDEX DIRECTION!!
WHAT WILL THE MARKET DO TODAY?
In the local Nigeria slang, this bull is being led by "Ijaya Money", the kind of money that gives others "phobia" and Tax or no Tax, this money cannot be shaken, but there is a factor that can make the money to pull out. Also if the market decide to pull out totally, it will also creat a bigger bull.

No need to talk much. Let us see the usuals stocks that are always to lead in releasing Dec year end results (GTCO, UCAP etc), definitely they will do well and help in sustaining this trend at least for 1st quarter of 2026.

Wishing all happy bullish 1st quarter of 2026

TARGET TECHNICAL CLOSING COMMENT ON TODAY CLOSING FIGURES
Not a bad day. The Index closed within the expected range. Less sectors closed in red compared with yesterday.

TARGET TECHNICAL ANALYSIS. WHERE WILL MARKET CLOSE TODAY?

https:///2w9x5kuy

I LIKE THIS ONE WAY MARKET
The bulk of the action is in Ai. Data centre, Metals amitng others

https:///2w9x5kuy

THE MOMENTUM SLOWED DOWN TODAY!!! WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT?
The market holding or not will depend on the fundamentals of most stocks in the market. And for one of the major drivers of this bullish trend, I don't think they doubt the fundamentals of this market to deliver!!! This major supporter of this bullish trend is not even concern about Tax or no tax and if they are concerned about the tax and decide to move, that tax will be amended.

But for now we should just watch the market will do!!!

TARGET TECHNICAL ANALYSIS FORECAST
I am facinated by data based forecasts.

This is our expectations for Monday. BTCUSD should close between +1.42% and +2.10%

We have tested our system with stocks and I am sure it will perform on BTC. So let us see how Monday will be!!!

SOMETIMES I AM SURPRISED IF PEOPLE REALLY TAKE TIME TO READ THIS TREAD
I have decided not to worry that this forum is currently experiencing low traffic.

By the time the market pick up again we will start seeing comments.

There, is the question of people searching for the best trading platform for US stocks!!! Countless times I have mentioned that VEST Investnent is the best if you are a resident of Nigeria. However, I continue to get notifications about people opening accounts with my link at "Chaka". Okay I wish them the best. But note that 'Chaka" of today is not the Chaka of 3 years ago. Chaka is not a good platform at the moment if we are a serious trader.

Vest Investnent is the best, I will still insist that we get like NGN140k to start with Vest Investnent. The platform still has Zero commission as long as you place trades worth approximately NGN48,000 per month. This is easy. I easily achieve this by selling and buying between 2 to 4 times per month. So simple.

And the fact the we will hold your hands for one week and be your mentor if you register via our invite code still stands. Also, the platform process your Withdrawal within 3 business days, holiday occuring within your transfer period has no effect (except it is a weekend. For example if you have processed your request, and your 3 days falls on Christmas day, no problem you get your alert on 25th December no excuse.

At the moment, I will say you if you are transacting business with Chaka it is "at your own risk", I don't recon with the platform again.
