So how do you profit from that rather than take massive losses? Let's talk about that and more right now. Hey there traders, it's Andrew Mitchem here at The Forex Trading Coach with video and podcast number 481. Today's video and podcast A big list of things to get through today, including the big crash in cryptos and how you can profit from that. I want to talk about my 2022 long-term predictions that I made last year and how those have come correct. I want to talk about our Black Friday sale on this upcoming Friday, on the 18th of November. I want to talk about Blueberry Markets as my preferred broker. So let's get into that. A massive fall in the Crypto market this week So cryptos; they have been tumbling. If you've been following cryptos, if you've been trading in cryptos, or you've been holding cryptos, you would have seen that this week we have had a massive fall in most of the crypto markets. So for a lot of people that's obviously really, really bad news. But for us as traders, Forex traders but we can now trade cryptos in the same way because my strategy works across all markets and all timeframes and that does crypto pairs as well. So luckily for us, we have the ability of course to trade short or to sell something. We're selling something that we don't own. Unlike going out there and actually buying Bitcoin or Ethereum or something, we're not doing that. We have the advantage of riding the market down if we're selling it and profiting exactly the same way as if we were buying it and the market was going up. Now, that's one of the main things that attracted me to the Forex market getting close on 20 years ago, was the ability to sell something and watch it fall and profit from that, unlike say traditional buying shares or buying property or something like that, where of course you buy, hope, hold, hope it goes up kind of strategy.I wasn't overly interested in that and that's why I like the ability to make money, providing I'm on the right side, whether a market is going up or down. That's the beauty of the way that we trade. Crypto Cash So with cryptos, for example, we've seen this week the likes of Bitcoin go from $21,000 down to $15,000. A massive, massive drop. We've seen Bitcoin cash go from 120 down to $86. We've seen Ethereum go from $1,600 down to $1,080. So massive, massive drops. Sure they might come back a little bit but the beauty is, as mentioned, we can trade them if they're going up or down. We're price-action based and that works across all markets without fail. That's the beauty of it. So that's why I like to trade the Forex market and now other markets. Trading Battle and my 2022 predictions have been correct The Trading Battle is a group online who came to me just over a year ago and I did a trading battle challenge on their website on a live feed that goes out on YouTube and other platforms. At the end of 2021, they asked me and all the other people on there to make a video without predictions for 2022. If you go back and watch my video from November or December of 2021, I was saying that my 2022 longer term prediction was for the New Zealand/US and the Australian/US to fall. That was based on what I could see on the longer term monthly charts. If you go and have a look at your charts from the beginning of this year to right now,

China reacts viciously to reports of former President Lee Tung-hui ailing. Then we move on to a special three-part series on further signs of support for Taiwan. Part one is the Australian-US joint statement, which is a mixed bag. Part two focuses on a visit to the US by Taiwan representative Hsiao Bi-khim. The US side said ties are the "best ever," but it's what the US did on her visit that says a lot more. Part three: a US Congressman introduces the Taiwan Invasion Prevention Act, and this could be a very big deal if passed. And of course, up first is some headlines.

David Lowe (Australian Policy and History): Trump tumult and the Australian-American alliance in historical perspective The Trump phenomenon has caused many governments to think hard about the nature of their relationships with the United States. In the case of Australia, amidst the shock and confusion, it may even trigger the sort of questioning of the ANZUS Security Pact (1951) that historians have thus far been unable to stir. To date, ANZUS and the oft-recalled memory of 1 million American soldiers passing through Australia in the Second World War, have constituted mnemonic foundation stones for thinking about the intertwining of American and Australian security. But just as the numbers of US war veterans have rapidly dwindled, so too does ANZUS suddenly look fragile. While it would be rash to say recent events have opened up a new space for historians in public conversation – such has been the continuing bipartisanship on the virtues of the American alliance – they have invited greater reflection. I suggest that historical perspective has much to offer at this time. Through analysis of Australian foreign policy-making and Australian-US relations at different times since the creation of ANZUS, I venture that, far from a stable ‘insurance policy’, the security pact has often shifted ground for Australian leaders. This has produced both anxiety and opportunity. The imprecision in the Australian-US security relationship has encouraged Prime Ministers to narrate its importance in ways that strengthened their leadership. The arrival of Trump might break an executive hold on the story, and enable a healthier sense of historical perspective that informs policy thinking about next steps in the relationship. David Lowe is Chair in Contemporary History at Deakin University and co-founder of the Australian Policy and History Network. He has published widely on Australia in world affairs and modern international history, including the recent book with Carola Lentz, Remembering Independence (Routledge, 2018) and the edited book The Unfinished Atomic Bomb: Shadows and Reflections (Rowman and Littlefield, 2018) with Cassandra Atherton and Alyson Miller. He is currently working on three projects: histories of Australian overseas diplomatic posts; a history of Australia’s foreign aid program; and an international history of the Colombo Plan for aid to South and Southeast Asia.

Author Johnny Ruddick sits down with Alex to discuss his new book "Make the Liberal Party Great Again.

After a rocky start to their relationship Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull is now on a visit to the US to meet with President Donald Trump.  Is the Australian / US partnership really as strong as Australian leaders would like to think? How is this alliance impacted by the rise of China as a regional and global power? Dr Keith Suter explains all points from an historical and present day perspective, and looks at how the future could pan out. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

EON speak to Michael Aked from Research Affiliates about Fundamental Indexing. Fundamental Indexing is an alternative to Market Cap weighted indexing using sales, dividends, growth and book value to weight the stocks in the index.  Research Affiliates introduced Fundamental Indexing as a result of the Tech Bubble in the early 2000’s.  They could not understand how companies with no revenue or profitability could be held by an index purely because of the market value.  They took this information and developed a Fundamental Index that, according to Research Affiliates, has outperformed the S&P 500 over the period.  The genius in the methodology is the inputs are measured over 5 years, reducing turnover and therefore costs. The Fundamental Indexing approach used by Research Affiliates can be adopted across all markets and has produced strong returns in Australia.  The last 12 months have benefited from larger positions in resource stocks, contributing to a return of 19% for the index, ASX code QOZ. This is a great episode for all trustees looking to invest in Australian & US markets. Compound your wisdom!

Following Nugan's death, Michael Hand disappears from Sydney. His lawyer fears he has been murdered. But Nugan Hand bank investigators discover he has flown out on a false passport in the company of a former CIA operative, codenamed 'Charlie'.Six months later, the story takes a stunning turn when Frank Nugan is allegedly seen 'alive' in the United States. Is it Nugan or someone else in his grave? The Attorney General orders an exhumation and a new inquest. Neither the CIA or the FBI want to assist the Australian investigators get to the bottom of the Nugan Hand bank's operations or help track down Mike Hand. The case becomes so political, the Australian government call a Royal Commission, which finds little in the way of new evidence regarding gun-running or a connection to the CIA. The original investigators brand it a coverup to protect the Australian-US alliance.The case is now so political, the Australian government call a Royal Commission, which finds little in the way of new evidence regarding the bank's involvement in gun-running and drug trafficking. It finds no connection to the CIA. The original investigators brand the Royal Commission a coverup to protect the Australian-US alliance.Three decades later, the author uncovers an intelligence document placing Hand, barely eighteen months after his disappearance, back working for the CIA in Honduras.The author then goes on the hunt for Michael Hand, whom he assumes has changed his identity. What he discovers becomes headline news around the world. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Podcast:In this video:00:20 Live trading webinar00:50 Hitting really good profit01:05 Understanding a very good risk reward ratio02:03 Strong support level02:41 Hitting absolute profit target02:59 Getting good trades on short time framesHi Andrew Mitchem here again, the Forex Trading Coach.Today is Friday, the 24th of August.Well it’s been another amazing week with the trading. This time, yesterday we had a really good two and a half hour live trading webinar. I hold these webinars every two weeks for my clients and I’ve got clients from all over the world. Thirty eight countries I have clients from and many of them log in every two weeks and we trade live on a live account, in front of everybody. I trade here from my office and one of my live accounts.Risk Reward RatioSo we have really good trades, I believe it took about eight trades live during the session yesterday and on top of that I had probably about another six or seven open trades live. And they went through;Most of them went through and hit really good profit. There were two actually on the four hour chart I think they got stopped out, but three others that took towards the end of the webinar all made. Now it’s really important to understand that when I trade I have a very good risk to reward ratio.So looking at somewhere between a one a half to two and a half reward for every risk, every one risk.So, for me I trade a half of percent of my account of risking half a percent per trade on a daily charts. And all the other time frames from four hourly, hourly and down to the fifteen minutes charts.I risk only a quarter of one percent of my account on any one trade.So upon risking a quarter percent and I have a two to one risk reward, that means that I’m making a half a percent gain for a quarter percent risk. So you can do the math and you work that I have for three profitable trades and two losing trades, you can see that the actual returns are really good.Buying trade on the SilverOn top of that, longer terms, I'm personally taking a buy trade on the silver. I took it at the end of last week. I actually forgot to mention that in last week’s video, but I bought some silver when it got to the twenty seven fifty level. It’s been a really strong support level and I’m not really buying that so much in terms of looking at the closing out of that trading anytime soon. I’m just taking that more of a personal buy and hold philosophy on silver because I think that silver has got a long, long way to go.Last year, just about touched fifty and theres no reason at all why over the next few month, possible years, that fifty plus that well beyond will be achieved – and that’s just a personal opinion.Buying trade that hits profit targetWhat else have we had?So on top of the webinar, we’ve had again a really good week. Have a buy trade on New Zealand dollar / US dollar that hit the profit target absolutely perfectly on Thursday, yesterday. That was the Thursday trade on the daily chart.Today I’m taking a short position on the Australian US, and a long position on the Euro Pound. And they’re open now as I'm speaking.So we’ve had some really good trades on short time frames outside of the webinar yesterday. The Euro Pound system, my Monday break out system, looks like it’s going to hit profit again this week. The last trade still in right now but it’s looking really good and its in good profit as I speak.Tournament for the weekendSo what else going on for me personally?I’m off for a Karate tournament now for the weekend. I’m a Karate instructor and I’ve got the next two days of Karate camp with all the instructors from around New Zealand meeting up together so effectively a good hard session of boot camp effectively but lots to learn.So,

Despite its focus on education, Sally Ninham‘s recent book, A Cohort of Pioneers: Australian Postgraduate Students and American PostgraduateDegrees, 1949-1964 (Connor Court Publishing, 2011), covers a lot of ground: the waning of Australian-British ties, the rise of Australian identity, post-war Australian-US relations, and much more. The book is also personal: it details her own family’s experiences as young professionals studying in the United States after the Second World War. The discovery of a cache of family letters led her to consider how and why Australians went to study in the United States, and how the experience transformed Australia’s own higher education system and politics in subsequent decades. For the Australian students, American education opened the prospect of an Australia less dependent upon the United Kingdom. For the United States, then fighting the Cold War, Australian students opened the prospect of closer ties to Australia, an important ally. The book, which is built on an impressive body of oral history interviews, personal letters, and memoirs, is both an important cultural document and a very readable intellectual history.
