Three hundred odd years ago, Sir Isaac Newton told us that “no great discovery was ever made without a bold guess.” My sense is he didn't have the order book in Emini futures in mind, but his words do translate well to our world of financial instruments. In this short pod, I revisit the events of August 5th, a day when prices normally well discovered went dark. The implications are real and we ought to learn from this short-lived but real episode of instability. As we approach the “4 E's” – employment, earnings, the election and the easing cycle – there's a good deal to consider with respect to playing defense in markets. I hope you find this interesting and useful.
In the Balkans, governing elites who benefit from partnerships with democratic states and participation in the E.U. integration process are, in some cases, simultaneously furthering the autocratic agendas of Russia and China to leverage geopolitics to their advantage. Donika Emini, executive director of the CiviKos Platform and former Reagan-Fascell Democracy Fellow, joined John K. Glenn, director of the International Forum for Democratic Studies, to discuss how local enablers amplify authoritarian influence activities in Kosovo and the Western Balkans. Together they provide a framework for understanding the complex nature of local “Kingpins,” and explore how civil society organizations, like CiviKos, can respond to this significant challenge. For further insights on related issues, check out the International Forum's companion blog, “Power 3.0 Understanding Modern Authoritarian Influence.” You can find additional resources on the Countering Authoritarian Influence research hub and join the conversation with us on Facebook, LinkedIn, and X.

Futures are financial contracts that allow traders to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price at a future date. Futures are commonly used in trading stocks, indices, and commodities, and understanding how they work is essential for traders who want to participate in these markets.In the context of stocks, futures are contracts that allow traders to buy or sell a stock at a predetermined price at a future date. These contracts are traded on futures exchanges, and they are settled in cash rather than the actual stock. Futures contracts on stocks are often used by traders who want to hedge their positions or speculate on the direction of the stock market.For example, a trader may believe that a particular stock will rise in value in the future. They can buy a futures contract on the stock at a predetermined price, and if the stock does indeed rise in value, the trader can sell the futures contract for a profit. Conversely, if the stock falls in value, the trader can sell the futures contract at a loss.Futures contracts on indices work in a similar way to futures on stocks, but instead of buying or selling a single stock, traders buy or sell a contract that represents a basket of stocks. For example, the S&P 500 index is a popular index of 500 large-cap stocks in the United States. Traders can buy or sell futures contracts on the S&P 500 index to speculate on the direction of the overall stock market.In the context of commodities, futures are contracts that allow traders to buy or sell a specific commodity at a predetermined price at a future date. Commodities futures contracts are traded on commodities exchanges, and they are settled in cash or by the physical delivery of the commodity. Futures contracts on commodities are often used by traders who want to hedge their positions or speculate on the direction of the commodity market.For example, a farmer who grows wheat may want to hedge their position by selling a futures contract on wheat at a predetermined price. If the price of wheat falls, the farmer will have locked in a price for their crop, protecting themselves from a potential loss. Conversely, if the price of wheat rises, the farmer will have missed out on potential profits, but they will have still sold their crop at a predetermined price.Futures contracts on commodities are also used by speculators who want to profit from the volatility of the commodity markets. For example, a trader may believe that the price of gold will rise in the future. They can buy a futures contract on gold at a predetermined price, and if the price of gold does indeed rise, the trader can sell the futures contract for a profit.In conclusion, futures are financial contracts that allow traders to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price at a future date. Futures are commonly used in trading stocks, indices, and commodities, and they are traded on futures exchanges. Understanding how futures work is essential for traders who want to participate in these markets and take advantage of the potential opportunities they offer. Whether you are a novice or experienced trader, futures can be a powerful tool in your trading arsenal. Take our 1 Week Free Trial and you'll never look at trading the same way again.

Day trading is a popular form of trading that involves buying and selling securities within the same trading day. It is a fast-paced and exciting activity that requires a high level of skill and expertise. One of the most important skills that day traders need to develop is the ability to understand multiple time frames.Understanding multiple time frames is essential for day traders because it allows them to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the market and make more informed trading decisions. When analyzing the market, day traders look at different time frames, including daily, hourly, and even minute-by-minute charts. Each time frame provides valuable information about the market and can help day traders make better trading decisions.The daily chart is the most important time frame for day traders because it provides a big picture view of the market. Day traders use the daily chart to identify trends and major support and resistance levels. By analyzing the daily chart, day traders can determine the overall direction of the market and make trading decisions accordingly.The hourly chart is the next time frame that day traders look at. It provides a more detailed view of the market and allows day traders to identify intraday trends and key support and resistance levels. By analyzing the hourly chart, day traders can get a better understanding of the short-term movements in the market and make more accurate trading decisions.Finally, day traders also analyze minute-by-minute charts to get a real-time view of the market. This time frame allows day traders to identify short-term trends and make quick trading decisions. Minute-by-minute charts are especially important for day traders who engage in scalping, a trading strategy that involves buying and selling securities within seconds or minutes.Understanding multiple time frames is important for day traders because it allows them to see the market from different perspectives. By analyzing different time frames, day traders can get a more comprehensive view of the market and make better trading decisions. For example, if the daily chart shows an uptrend, but the hourly chart shows a downtrend, day traders may decide to wait for a clearer trend to emerge before entering a trade.Bottom line, understanding multiple time frames is essential for day traders who want to be successful in the market. By analyzing different time frames, day traders can gain a more comprehensive understanding of the market and make more informed trading decisions. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced day trader, mastering the skill of analyzing multiple time frames is crucial for your success.
Day Trading can be an exciting and potentially lucrative activity. With the rise of online trading platforms, more and more people are getting interested in learning how to trade stocks, options, futures, and currencies. However, new day traders often make the mistake of trying to learn everything there is to know about markets. This approach can be overwhelming and counterproductive, as it can lead to information overload and analysis paralysis. Instead, it is better to simply focus on one thing and learn to do that one thing very well.Why do new day traders try to learn everything?New day traders are often eager to learn as much as possible about markets because they believe that knowledge is power. They think that the more they know, the better they will be able to trade. They also believe that by learning about different markets and trading strategies, they will be able to diversify their trading portfolio and reduce their risk. Moreover, new day traders are often drawn to the promise of quick profits and the glamour of the trading lifestyle, which can lead them to overestimate their abilities and underestimate the complexity of the markets.Why is it better to focus on one thing?Focusing on one thing, such as a particular market or trading strategy, has several advantages. First, it allows the trader to develop a deep understanding of the market or strategy, which can help them make better decisions and avoid costly mistakes. Second, it allows the trader to develop a trading plan that is tailored to their strengths and weaknesses, which can increase their confidence and consistency. Third, it allows the trader to track their progress and evaluate their performance objectively, which can help them improve over time.How to choose what to focus on?Choosing what to focus on can be a daunting task, especially for new day traders who are not familiar with the markets. However, there are a few guidelines that can help. First, consider your interests and strengths. If you have a background in finance, for example, you may be more comfortable trading stocks than currencies. If you are good at analyzing charts, you may be more interested in technical analysis than fundamental analysis. Second, consider your resources. If you have limited time or capital, you may want to focus on a market or strategy that is less complex and requires less research. Third, consider your goals. If you are looking for quick profits, you may want to focus on short-term trading strategies. If you are looking for long-term growth, you may want to focus on value investing.How to learn to do one thing very well?Learning to do one thing very well requires dedication, discipline, and patience. Here are a few tips:Start with the basics. Before you can master a particular market or strategy, you need to understand the fundamentals. Read books, watch videos, and take online courses to learn the terminology, concepts, and principles.Practice, practice, practice. The only way to get better at something is to do it. Use a demo account or paper trade to practice your skills without risking real money.Keep a trading journal. Write down your trades, your thought process, and your emotions. This can help you identify your strengths and weaknesses and improve your decision-making.Get feedback. Join a trading community or find a mentor who can provide feedback on your trades and help you improve your skills.Bottom LineNew day traders often make the mistake of trying to learn everything there is to know about markets. However, this approach can be overwhelming and counterproductive. Instead, it is better to simply focus on one thing and learn to do that one thing very well. By developing a deep understanding of a particular market or trading strategy, traders can increase their confidence, consistency, and profitability over time.

The US Dollar has long held its position as the world's reserve currency, a title that has granted it considerable power and influence in the global economy. However, if the dollar were to lose its status as the reserve currency, the repercussions would be significant and far-reaching, affecting everything from international trade to geopolitical power structures.The Reserve Currency StatusBefore we explore the potential consequences of the US Dollar losing its reserve currency status, it's important to understand what this term means. A reserve currency is a currency that other countries hold in significant quantities as part of their foreign exchange reserves. These reserves are held to facilitate international trade, investments, and financial transactions.The US Dollar has been the dominant reserve currency since the end of World War II, thanks in part to the United States' political and economic dominance at that time. The dollar's status as the reserve currency has given the US a significant amount of power and influence over the global economy, as well as allowing the country to run large trade deficits without facing significant consequences.The Consequences of Losing Reserve Currency StatusIf the US Dollar were to lose its reserve currency status, there would be a number of significant consequences, including:1) A Weaker US Economy: The US economy is currently heavily reliant on the US Dollar's status as the world's reserve currency. Losing this status would result in a decline in demand for the dollar, which could lead to a depreciation of its value. This would make imports more expensive and reduce the purchasing power of US consumers, leading to inflation and potentially a recession.2) A Shift in Global Power: The US's position as a superpower is closely tied to the US Dollar's reserve currency status. Losing this status would reduce the country's ability to influence global affairs, particularly in relation to economic matters. This could result in a shift in global power away from the US and towards other countries, particularly China.3) A Reordering of International Trade: The US Dollar's status as the reserve currency has facilitated international trade for decades. Losing this status could result in a shift away from the dollar in international transactions, potentially leading to new trade blocs and economic alliances forming that exclude the US.4) A Rise in the Cost of Borrowing: As the reserve currency, the US Dollar benefits from lower borrowing costs. Losing this status could result in higher borrowing costs for the US government, which could make it more difficult to finance the country's debt and could result in higher interest rates for consumers.5) A Change in Investment Flows: The US's position as the world's reserve currency has made it an attractive destination for foreign investment. Losing this status could result in a decline in foreign investment in the US, which could lead to a slowdown in economic growth.What Could Cause the Dollar to Lose Its Reserve Currency Status?There are a number of factors that could lead to the US Dollar losing its reserve currency status. One of the most significant is a decline in the US's economic and political power, which could reduce the demand for the dollar. Another factor is the rise of alternative currencies, particularly the Chinese Yuan, which is increasingly being used in international transactions.Bottom LineThe US Dollar's status as the world's reserve currency has granted the US significant power and influence over the global economy. Losing this status would have significant consequences, including a weaker US economy, a shift in global power, and a reordering of international trade. While it is not clear when or if the US Dollar will lose its reserve currency status, it is important for policymakers to consider the potential consequences and take steps to mitigate them.

These scams are designed to take advantage of people who are new to trading and do not have the experience or knowledge to recognize the signs of a scam. In this article, we will discuss some of the most common scams that new traders fall prey to.Pump and Dump ScamsPump and dump scams are one of the oldest and most common scams in the trading world. In a pump and dump scam, a group of traders or a single individual artificially inflates the price of a stock by spreading false information about the company. Once the price reaches a certain level, the scammers sell their shares, causing the price to crash, and leaving other investors with a loss.Trading Signal ScamsTrading signal scams are another common scam that new traders fall prey to. These scams promise to provide traders with profitable trading signals that they can use to make money. However, the reality is that these signals are often unreliable, and traders end up losing money instead of making a profit.Fake Trading PlatformsFake trading platforms are another common scam that new traders fall prey to. These platforms promise to provide traders with a secure and reliable platform to trade on. However, the reality is that these platforms are often fraudulent and designed to steal money from traders. Some of these platforms may even ask for personal information, such as credit card details, which can be used for identity theft.Investment ScamsInvestment scams are another common scam that new traders fall prey to. These scams promise to provide investors with high returns on their investment in a short period of time. However, the reality is that these investments are often fraudulent, and investors end up losing their money.Forex ScamsForex scams are another common scam that new traders fall prey to. These scams promise to provide traders with high returns on their investment in the foreign exchange market. However, the reality is that these returns are often exaggerated, and traders end up losing their money.There are so many scams out there that are designed to take advantage of new traders it can be difficult to keep track of them all. These scams can be very convincing, and it can be difficult for new traders to recognize them.

In the world of trading, there is a constant stream of new tools, strategies, and indicators that promise to provide traders with an edge in the market. However, despite this constant influx of new ideas and techniques, professional traders continue to rely heavily on the tried and tested concept of Support and Resistance.Support and Resistance are two of the most fundamental concepts in technical analysis, which is the study of market action through the use of charts and indicators. Support refers to a price level below which a particular asset is unlikely to fall, while Resistance refers to a price level above which an asset is unlikely to rise.There are several reasons why professional traders continue to rely on Support and Resistance, even in a world where people tend to be infatuated with the latest and greatest magical indicator.Firstly, Support and Resistance levels are based on the underlying psychology of market participants. Support levels occur when buyers are willing to step in and purchase an asset, believing that it is undervalued at that price. Resistance levels occur when sellers are willing to step in and sell an asset, believing that it is overvalued at that price.These levels are based on the collective behavior of market participants, which is often driven by emotions such as fear, greed, and uncertainty. As such, Support and Resistance levels tend to be more reliable than indicators that are based on mathematical formulas or algorithms, which may not always take into account the underlying psychology of the market.Secondly, Support and Resistance levels are easily identifiable on a chart, which makes them accessible to traders of all skill levels. Even novice traders can learn how to identify Support and Resistance levels and incorporate them into their trading strategy.In contrast, some of the latest indicators and strategies can be complex and require a significant amount of time and effort to understand and implement effectively. This can be a barrier to entry for many traders, especially those who are just starting out.Finally, Support and Resistance levels are versatile and can be used in a variety of trading strategies. They can be used to identify potential entry and exit points, as well as to set stop-loss and take-profit levels.For example, if a trader identifies a Support level on a chart, they may place a buy order near that level, with a stop-loss order just below it. This allows them to limit their potential losses if the market moves against them.Alternatively, if a trader identifies a Resistance level on a chart, they may place a sell order near that level, with a stop-loss order just above it. This allows them to limit their potential losses if the market moves against them.While there is no shortage of new and innovative trading tools and strategies, professional traders continue to rely heavily on the concept of Support and Resistance. These levels are based on the underlying psychology of the market and are easily identifiable on a chart, making them accessible to traders of all skill levels. Moreover, they are versatile and can be used in a variety of trading strategies. As such, Support and Resistance are likely to remain a cornerstone of technical analysis for many years to come.

Trading can be a highly rewarding and lucrative activity, but it requires a significant amount of skill, discipline, and knowledge to succeed. Unfortunately, many new traders enter the market with unrealistic expectations, hoping to find a magical solution that will guarantee their success. They often refer to this as the "holy grail" of trading, the one strategy or technique that will lead to consistent profits without any effort or risk. However, the truth is that such a thing does not exist in the world of trading, and there are several logical reasons why.First and foremost, the financial markets are highly complex and dynamic, driven by a wide range of economic, political, and social factors that are constantly changing. This means that no single strategy or technique can work consistently in all market conditions. For example, a strategy that works well in a bullish market may fail miserably in a bearish one. Similarly, a technique that is effective for trading stocks may not work for forex or commodities. Therefore, traders must adapt their strategies to the current market conditions and constantly evolve their approach as the market evolves.Secondly, the financial markets are highly competitive, with millions of traders around the world all vying for the same opportunities. This means that any strategy or technique that is widely known and used will quickly lose its effectiveness as more and more traders adopt it. In fact, some traders may even use the same strategy to manipulate the market, making it even more difficult for others to profit from it. Therefore, traders must be creative and innovative in their approach, constantly seeking new and unique opportunities that others may not be aware of.Thirdly, trading involves a significant amount of risk, and there is no way to completely eliminate it. No matter how effective a trading strategy may seem, there is always the potential for unexpected events or market movements that can lead to significant losses. Therefore, traders must always be prepared for the worst-case scenario and have a solid risk management plan in place.Finally, trading requires a significant amount of skill and experience to be successful. This is not something that can be learned overnight or through a single strategy or technique. It takes time, practice, and patience to develop the necessary skills and knowledge to navigate the markets effectively. Therefore, traders must be willing to invest in their education and training and be prepared to learn from their mistakes.In conclusion, while the idea of a "holy grail" of trading may be appealing, the reality is that no such thing exists in the world of trading. The financial markets are highly complex, dynamic, and competitive, and there is no single strategy or technique that can guarantee success. Instead, traders must be adaptable, innovative, and constantly evolving their approach to the markets. They must also be prepared for the risks involved and invest in their education and training to develop the necessary skills and knowledge to succeed in the long run. Our Methodology and Indicators do not claim to be the "Holy Grail" of trading. Fully aware of the pitfalls new traders face, we created a single rule set complete with very simple Indicators that are geared to simply teach a new trader "How to Trade". Once you learn our strategy, how to read the charts, and how our Indicators show you the next high probability move, you can trade any market or any time frame without knowing what will happen next in the markets. No one, not man or machine can know with certainty what will happen next. Many new traders blow out their accounts searching for something that simply can not exist. It is possible however to know with a great degree of certainty what the next high probability move will be. Armed with this knowledge you will still get stopped out. Every Professional Trader understands that getting "stopped out" is as much a part of trading as breathing is a part of life. For this reason, we also teach aggressive risk management.

In today's dynamic and volatile financial markets, investors are often looking for ways to maximize their returns while minimizing risk. While stocks and options have traditionally been the go-to investment vehicles for most investors, futures trading is gaining in popularity due to its numerous benefits over these other methods.Futures trading is a type of derivative investment that involves making a contractual agreement to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price and time in the future. The underlying assets can be commodities, currencies, or financial instruments such as stock indexes or interest rates.One of the key advantages of futures trading is that it offers greater leverage than stocks or options. With futures, traders can control a large amount of an asset with a relatively small initial investment. This allows investors to amplify their potential profits, although it also increases the risk of losses if the market moves against them.Another significant advantage of futures trading is the ability to trade around the clock. Unlike stocks, which are only traded during market hours, futures can be bought and sold 24 hours a day, five days a week. This provides traders with more opportunities to capitalize on market movements and respond to breaking news or events that can impact the markets.Futures trading also offers greater liquidity than stocks or options. Since futures contracts are standardized and traded on regulated exchanges, there is a large pool of buyers and sellers. This makes it easier for traders to enter and exit positions quickly and at fair prices, without the need for negotiation or finding a willing counterparty.Additionally, futures trading allows for greater price transparency and more accurate price discovery. Because futures are traded on exchanges with central clearing, prices are determined by the forces of supply and demand in the market, rather than by individual transactions negotiated between buyers and sellers. This makes it easier for traders to get an accurate and real-time view of market sentiment and make informed investment decisions.Another advantage of futures trading is that it allows investors to hedge against price fluctuations in other investments. For example, if an investor owns a portfolio of stocks, they could buy futures contracts on a stock index as a way to offset potential losses if the market declines. This can provide a level of insurance and reduce overall portfolio risk.Finally, futures trading offers tax advantages over other investment vehicles. In the United States, futures contracts are subject to a lower tax rate than stocks or options. This can result in significant tax savings for investors, especially those who engage in frequent trading.In conclusion, while stocks and options have long been the primary investment vehicles for most investors, futures trading offers a number of compelling benefits that make it an attractive option for those looking to maximize their returns while minimizing risk. From greater leverage and liquidity to 24/7 trading and tax advantages, futures trading is a powerful tool that investors should consider adding to their investment arsenal. However, as with any investment, it's important to do your research, understand the risks involved, and have a solid trading plan in place before getting started.

As a trader, one of the biggest challenges you will face is choosing the right broker. While there are many reputable and trustworthy brokers out there, there are also some who engage in shady practices that can put your trading account at risk. One of the most controversial practices is trading against their clients, also known as "counterparty trading." In this article, we will explore why some brokers trade against their clients and the potential risks involved.Firstly, it's important to understand that brokers who trade against their clients do so because it's profitable for them. These brokers essentially take the other side of their clients' trades, meaning that when the client loses money, the broker profits. This creates an inherent conflict of interest, as the broker's profits come at the expense of their clients.Another reason some brokers trade against their clients is that it allows them to offer tighter spreads and lower commissions. By trading against their clients, brokers can effectively act as market makers, providing liquidity and filling orders on the other side of trades. This can be beneficial for clients in some cases, as it allows for faster execution and lower transaction costs. However, it also means that the broker has more control over the pricing and execution of trades, which can be manipulated to their advantage.One of the biggest risks associated with brokers who trade against their clients is the potential for price manipulation. Since these brokers effectively control the prices at which trades are executed, they can sometimes adjust prices to their advantage. For example, they may widen spreads or artificially manipulate prices to stop out traders' positions or trigger margin calls, resulting in significant losses for the client.Another risk is that brokers who trade against their clients may have less of an incentive to provide quality trading conditions and execution. This can lead to issues like re-quotes, slippage, and order rejection, which can be frustrating and costly for traders.It's worth noting that not all brokers who trade against their clients are necessarily "bad actors." In some cases, it may be a necessary part of their business model, and they may take steps to mitigate the risks and conflicts of interest involved. For example, they may offer negative balance protection or guarantee order execution, even if it means taking a loss themselves.Ultimately, the decision to trade with a broker who trades against their clients is up to you. It's important to do your research and choose a reputable broker with a track record of fair and transparent practices. Look for brokers who are regulated by respected authorities, offer negative balance protection, and have a history of treating their clients fairly. By taking the time to do your due diligence, you can minimize the risks associated with trading with a broker who trades against their clients. Take a 1 Week Free Trial at My Trading IQ.

For new traders just starting out in the world of trading, learning how to read price action is an essential skill. Price action refers to the movement of a security's price over time, and understanding how to interpret these movements is crucial for making informed trading decisions.There are several reasons why learning to read price action is so important for new traders. First and foremost, it allows them to develop a more nuanced understanding of the market. Rather than simply relying on indicators or other technical analysis tools, traders who can read price action are able to identify patterns and trends in the market that may not be immediately obvious.This deeper understanding of the market can also help new traders to make more accurate predictions about future price movements. By observing how prices have moved in the past, traders can start to anticipate how they are likely to move in the future, giving them a valuable edge in the market.In addition to these practical benefits, learning to read price action can also help new traders to develop a more disciplined and focused approach to trading. By paying close attention to price movements, traders are forced to stay engaged with the market and avoid the temptation to make impulsive trades based on emotions or other external factors.Of course, learning to read price action is not always easy. It requires a combination of technical knowledge, experience, and intuition, and even the most skilled traders will occasionally make mistakes. However, with practice and dedication, new traders can develop the skills and confidence needed to succeed in the market.One of the most effective ways to learn how to read price action is through a combination of study and hands-on experience. This might involve reading books or articles on the topic, watching instructional videos, or taking courses or workshops offered by experienced traders. It may also involve spending time observing the market and experimenting with different trading strategies.Ultimately, the key to success as a new trader lies in developing a deep understanding of the market and the ability to make informed decisions based on that understanding. By learning how to read price action, new traders can gain the insights and knowledge they need to navigate the complex and often unpredictable world of trading with confidence and skill. To make learning to Read Price Action simple, take a 1 Week Free Trial at MyTradingIQ.com.

Trading in financial markets is an enticing venture that many people have taken up in recent years. With the advent of online trading platforms and the ease of access to information, it has become relatively easy for anyone with an internet connection to enter the world of trading. However, despite the accessibility and potential for high returns, statistics show that 9 out of 10 new traders fail. This article explores some of the reasons behind this high failure rate.Lack of Education and KnowledgeOne of the most significant reasons new traders fail is their lack of education and knowledge about the markets. Many people dive headfirst into trading without understanding the basics, such as how the market operates, the types of financial instruments available, and the risks involved. Without a solid understanding of the market and its complexities, it's difficult to make informed decisions and avoid common pitfalls.Unrealistic ExpectationsAnother major reason new traders fail is their unrealistic expectations of what trading can offer. Many people are attracted to trading by the prospect of making quick money and achieving financial freedom. However, trading is not a get-rich-quick scheme, and success requires discipline, patience, and hard work. New traders often enter the market with unrealistic expectations, which can lead to making impulsive and irrational decisions that result in losses.Lack of DisciplineTrading requires a high level of discipline and emotional control. New traders often lack the discipline to stick to a trading plan or follow a set of rules. They may become emotionally attached to their trades, making them reluctant to cut losses or take profits at the right time. This lack of discipline can lead to making impulsive decisions based on emotions rather than facts, resulting in significant losses.Failure to Manage RiskRisk management is a crucial aspect of trading. New traders often fail to manage their risk appropriately, exposing themselves to significant losses. They may invest too much money in a single trade or fail to diversify their portfolio. Without proper risk management, a single trade can wipe out a significant portion of their capital, making it difficult to recover.Lack of ExperienceExperience is a critical factor in trading. Many new traders lack the experience to navigate the complexities of the market successfully. They may not have encountered different market conditions, such as volatile markets, high-frequency trading, or sudden market crashes. Lack of experience can lead to making wrong decisions and incurring significant losses.There is a way to succeed...Trading is a challenging endeavor that requires discipline, knowledge, experience, and risk management. New traders often fail due to a lack of education and knowledge, unrealistic expectations, lack of discipline, failure to manage risk, and lack of experience. To avoid becoming a statistic, new traders must invest in education, develop a sound trading plan, practice discipline and emotional control, manage risk appropriately, and gain experience through practice and exposure to different market conditions. With dedication and perseverance, new traders can succeed in the challenging world of trading. Forget the parlor tricks, the magical Indicators and mystical Oscillators.

Can too many indicators and oscillators lead to confusion when trading?As a new trader, it can be tempting to load up your trading platform with as many indicators and oscillators as possible. After all, more information should lead to better trades, right? Unfortunately, this is not always the case. Too many indicators and oscillators can actually lead to confusion and potentially harmful trading decisions.Here are some reasons why too many indicators and oscillators can lead to confusion when trading:Indicators can provide conflicting signalsDifferent indicators can provide conflicting signals, leading to confusion about the direction of the market. For example, one indicator may signal that the market is bullish, while another may suggest that it's bearish. It can be difficult to know which signal to follow, leading to analysis paralysis and potentially missed opportunities.Over-reliance on indicators can lead to tunnel visionToo many indicators can lead to an over-reliance on technical analysis and a lack of consideration for other factors that may impact the market, such as news events or geopolitical tensions. This can create tunnel vision and prevent traders from seeing the bigger picture.Indicators can create false confidenceThe use of multiple indicators can create a false sense of confidence in a trade. Traders may feel that they have enough information to make a sound decision, when in reality, they are simply experiencing confirmation bias. This can lead to overconfidence and potentially harmful trading decisions.Too many indicators can lead to information overloadHaving too many indicators and oscillators on a trading platform can lead to information overload. Traders may struggle to process the sheer amount of data and may miss important signals or trends. This can lead to missed opportunities or poor trading decisions.In conclusion, too many indicators and oscillators can lead to confusion when trading. They can provide conflicting signals, create tunnel vision, create false confidence, and lead to information overload. Instead, traders should focus on a few key indicators that align with their trading strategy and goals. By using a more focused approach, traders can make more informed and profitable trading decisions.You can find a more focused approach by using the TIQ Context on the TradingView platform.

Investing, day trading, and scalping are all strategies used by individuals to earn profits in financial markets. However, each strategy is distinct and requires different skills, knowledge, and time commitment. In this article, we will explain the differences between investing, day trading, and scalping.No matter which category you currently fall in, you can easily become the Trader you've always dreamed of using TradingView and the TIQ Indicator offered by MyTradingIQ.com.Investing:Investing is a long-term strategy where individuals purchase assets such as stocks, bonds, and real estate with the goal of generating returns over an extended period, typically five to ten years or more. Investors analyze a company's financial health, its management team, and its growth prospects before buying its stock. They make informed decisions based on fundamental analysis, which involves studying a company's financial statements, industry trends, and economic conditions.Investors usually do not engage in buying and selling stocks frequently. Instead, they hold onto their investments for years, sometimes even decades, and benefit from the power of compound interest. Investing requires patience, discipline, and a long-term vision.Day trading:Day trading involves buying and selling securities within the same trading day, often multiple times a day. Day traders aim to profit from the intraday price movements of stocks, options, futures, and currencies. They use technical analysis to identify short-term trading opportunities and make quick decisions based on price charts and market indicators.Day trading is a highly active and intense activity that requires traders to stay focused, disciplined, and emotionally stable. Day traders often use leverage, which magnifies both their gains and losses. Therefore, day trading is considered a high-risk, high-reward strategy that requires extensive knowledge and experience.Scalping:Scalping is a short-term trading strategy that involves buying and selling securities within seconds or minutes. Scalpers aim to profit from small price movements by taking advantage of market inefficiencies and imbalances. They use technical indicators such as moving averages, Bollinger Bands, and stochastic oscillators to identify short-term trends and enter and exit trades quickly. However, Traders are quickly learning that too many Indicators and Oscillators can lead to analysis paralysis. Scalping requires a high level of focus, speed, and precision. Scalpers often use sophisticated trading platforms and algorithms to execute trades rapidly and efficiently. Scalping is a challenging and high-risk strategy that requires traders to have a deep understanding of market dynamics and trading psychology.In conclusion, investing, day trading, and scalping are three distinct strategies used by individuals to make profits in financial markets. Investing is a long-term strategy that requires patience, discipline, and a long-term vision. Day trading is an active and intense strategy that requires traders to stay focused, disciplined, and emotionally stable. Scalping is a short-term strategy that requires speed, precision, and a deep understanding of market dynamics. Each strategy has its pros and cons, and individuals must choose the one that suits their goals, risk tolerance, and lifestyle.Not sure what style is right for you?We Have The Solution!Combining the TradingView Platform and the TIQ Context.

Kui Eesti korvpallikoondis valmistub EMiks, oleks patt mitte pühkida tolmukihti maha Õhtulehe korvpallist rääkival taskuhäälingul „Viies veerandaeg“. Ja mis oleks parem viis comeback'iks kui kutsuda saatesse külla eelmise EMi üks kangelastest ehk Gregor Arbet isiklikult. Alustuseks paari sõnaga Arbetist endast, kes otsustas hiljuti TalTechi spordiklubist lahkuda. Ja siis meenutuste juurde: mida tegi Tiit Soku juhendatav kossukoondis täpselt seitse aasta tagasi, kui oli EMini veel paar nädalat jäänud? Mida arvab Arbet sellest, et koondisest tehti toona filmi ja enne EMi tuli osaleda erinevatel avalikel üritustel, mida Andres Sõber kutsus lausa „hobuste väljanäituseks“? Riiga saabudes olid ootused suured, aga esimesena saadi nähvakas Tšehhi koondiselt ja päev hiljem Belgialt. Fännid vilistasid koondise välja ja pahandus oli suur. Arbet meenutab, kuidas enne Ukraina-mängu tuli abi väljaspoolt ehk appi tõttas toonane korvpalliliidu president Jüri Ratas. Järgnes võit Ukraina üle (Arbetilt 26 punkti!), ülinapp ja valus kaotus Leedult ning otsustav mäng Läti vastu. Algus oli paljutõotav, lõpp läks aga kahjuks ära ja edasipääs jäigi unistuseks. Lõpetuseks rääkisime Arbetiga praegusest korvpallikoondisest ja vaatasime ette tulevasele EMile. Head kuulamist!

Topics this week include: Equities (What is going on?) Crude/WTI Metals/Gold Futures Options Feedback: Listeners have their say Comment by DCVic - Hey Nick good call on puts and gold futures. Thx. Comment from Angel - Looks like bitcoin is the digital flight to quality after all. No selloff with equities. Question from Matteo - I'm selling monthly put options on the eMini. So I'm short options and short premium. But I'm collecting time decay. So does that mean I'm actually long theta? Help I'm confused. Also an update please on bitcoin options? Thank you so much.
Volatility Review: A look back at the week from a volatility perspective. VIX Cash: 12.21 and as high as 13.30. VVIX - 93 VIX Options - ADV: 535k, VIX call/put: 2.6/1, Total 7.95m (5.78m Calls, 2.17m Puts) The return of the 1x2? Plenty of call love yesterday Paper sells call June vertical yesterday Volatility Voicemail: Flash poll! Let's stick with our Volatility theme to round out the week. Quite simply - which product do you think has the highest 30-day implied Volatility? No cheating (or checking with your broker)! What does your gut tell you? VIX? Bitcoin? TSLA? RUSSELL2000? RUT? IWM? 34% - Tesla, TSLA 21% - VIX 35% - Bitcoin 10% - Russell 2000: Emini, RUT Listener questions and comments Question from Lisag - I'm confused. Why would someone by such an outlandish vertical in a product that essentially rots to zero? Comment from Kaijan - I would sell that VXX July call spread all day long. In fact I did! Thx for giving me the idea on your last show. Keep up the vol fun! Question from Deville - Great show. How do I get my volatility fund profiled on Volatility Views? Question from FNews2 - Do you think eliminating the traditional earning call would be a bad move for vol traders? I kind of take the view that it would smooth things out and make it a little less likely to get run over. Crazy? Crystal Ball: Your prognostication headquarters Last week: Mark L. -12.95 Mark S. - 12.50 This week: Mark L. - 11.85 Andrew - 11.55

(ADI). Mail Block: Options question of the week Google Trends is full of interesting, and surprising, data. When you analyze the "options" search data you uncover some surprising results. Which brings us to this week's question: Which "subregion" is currently ranked one for overall "options" interest by Google? Illinois California New York Maine Flash Poll: Let's stick with our Volatility theme to round out the week. Quite simply - which product do you think has the highest 30-day implied Volatility? No cheating (or checking with your broker)! What does your gut tell you? VIX? Bitcoin? TSLA? RUSSELL2000? RUT? IWM? Tesla, TSLA VIX Bitcoin Russell 2000: Emini, RUT Listener questions and comments: Comment from Till - I'm looking forward to the rock lobster's ongoing webinar series on Asian options. Question from DollClub - How do you price ratio spreads. If it's a long 1x2 do you just multiply the cost of the second leg by 2 and then subtract it from the long leg? Is it just that simple? Question from Division1 - Why has there never been a cool trading video game? Options or stocks I don't care. Maybe Insider should do it? Around the Block: What's on the radar for next week?

VXX - 35, 1 point lower than last week. Paper buys buys size VXX July call spread. VIX-mageddon revisited: it's the buyers who disappeared Volatility Voicemail: Options question of the week Holiday Weekends are notoriously tough for VIX traders.

IWM? Tesla, TSLA VIX Bitcoin Russell 2000: Emini, RUT Listener questions and comments: Comment from Charles Montgomery Burns releasethehounds -I enjoyed listening to the broadcast today. Excellent Question from Ned Brown - I wish it was made clear in these articles that the problem seems to be around settlement in the VIX. A good idea on orders to bring more liquidity into the settlement. I assumed the big volatility was the reason crypto options weren't being pushed. Has anyone asked the SEC about them? Question from Bellat - What do you think of crypto Vol at these levels particularly bitcoin? Are you guys doing any trading even though there aren't really any true options available yet? Question from Pilz - Did we ever uncover the mystery behind 50 cent? Crystal Ball: Your prognostication headquarters Last week: Mark L. -12.95 Mark S. -13.50 This week: Mark L. -12.95 Mark S. - 12.50

Tesla, TSLA VIX Bitcoin Russell 2000: Emini, RUT Listener questions and comments: Question from Ned Brown -You had a guest on a few weeks back and he mentioned what he thought Bitcoin volatility would be on the options. You would think it would be an instant winning product. I've always thought the tricky part is finding the market makers to provide the liquidity...I assumed the big volatility was the reason crypto options weren't being pushed. Has anyone asked the SEC about them? Question from BB88 -How do I do what Nick said last week to see the options activity on that day's expiring future?

Tesla, TSLA VIX Bitcoin Russell 2000: Emini, RUT Listener questions and comments: Comment from Charlie Tunsen - I would like to add my vote for after hours options trading. It's ridiculous that the underlyings keep trading while the derivatives of those products are locked in an artificial deep freeze. I don't care if it's entirely illiquid or just a resting order book. Some liquidity is better than none when everything is melting down. Question from Mads Melken - Why don't you guys talk about Asian options? Around the Block: What is on our radar?
Special Guest Co-Host - Tracy Shuchart, @CHIGIRL Topics this week include: Crude/WTI Gold/Metals Futures Options Feedback/Volatility Flash Poll Which product/segment do you think will experience the most Volatility over the coming trading week (through the close on Friday 2/20) SPY SPX VIX WTI Crude Gold Bitcoin BTC GLD USO S&P500: SPY, SPX. VIX Gold: GLD, Come Crude Oil: WTI, USO Bitcoin: BTC Listener questions and comments: Question from Ken Aidan -I'm a crude swinger mostly trading short-term direction intraday in the futures. Are the options good for this use case or is that more for long term strategies? Question from Luke T. - Why does USO suck so badly? Not sure why anyone would trade this over the futures? Question from Thomas F. - I used to trade a lot of spy options but I've been lured over to the eMinis. Not sure why more people don't trade these things. What do you think it is that keeps people trading spy instead of eMini and what can be done to bring them to the dark side? Question from Mark Brant -I'm partial to selling 45d straddles. Does QS highlight the highest IV% straddles of the CME products? It would be cool to sell the richest straddles daily!...45d straddle decay is the universal sweet spot to avoid gamma risk, but only at IV extremes, and even then one can lose a little. SPAN margin is ideal for CME straddles. I will gladly pay for 45d straddle IV reports. Rich straddles are an edge! Question from GWCH: You buying that this cryptocurrency rally is based on the sharia law approval? Question from BLIO3T:Which products are the ones that you guys have the hardest time wrapping your heads around? For me it's the hogs. No thanks. Comment from Mark Brant:Long beans! Also NOB spread has no quit in it! Question from Kennedy: Soros is getting into Crypto. Time to sell?
