In post basic experience creating an edge will give you the greatest leverage, keep it simple, there is little need to complicate things; test(back/forward) until you find a system you enjoy using and has worked over at least 200 trades. Once you feel confident regarding the odds being in your favor, paper trade it until your confidence in your system increases. Start small and increase your lot size as your confidence increases, (more…)

ever come across a chart like the one of USDJPY from today? [live stream from this day | Trade Log Here]

and your trades in this were only part of it or none at all?
(below the image shows the trades I have made myself on this move)

were you thinking like:

• WOW 132 Pips (1320 points)
• that would have been so much money i could have made
• such an easy trade, but why didn’t I take it?
• if i just held on longer that would be such a large gain

well bottom line is “YOU DIDN’T!!” and that is not a bad thing!

Trade Bitcoin the Right Way

Trade Bitcoin the Right Way

To say recent history has been an emotional roller-coaster for Bitcoin would be an understatement!

The market opened 2017 at a price of $966.0 and wrapped up the year at $18,960, carving out a whopping 1861.51% gain.

2018, however, has not been so kind. Deteriorating from its 2017 peak just south of the $20,000 mark to lows of $5858.6, the unit wiped approximately 70% off its value, as of current price.

ItÂ’s widely thought Satoshi Nakamoto was a pseudonym used by the unknown person(s) who designed Bitcoin. Despite the anonymity, the unit has since evolved into the most capitalized and traded cryptocurrency in the world. Current numbers demonstrate a market cap of over $143 billion. As of writing, 17,290,900 million bitcoins are in circulation, against a presently capped limit of 21 million.
