My trade or rather my speculation on a swing to earnings did not materialize, my limit sell order at limit sell order at €1,850 was not triggered 😂🤪

However, the position of 5 shares (buy-in €1,424) will remain in the portfolio for the time being, I will take a look at the next few weeks, the sell limit for the sale of the position will remain in place.

Edit May 2ndOne of the two buy orders still running was triggered this morning at €1,400. Another one is still at €1,380

The position is therefore almost full. Now the market can take up the good results 😁
