Forex, gold, Bitcoin, risk and social trading — short articles with the numbers worked out. New pieces most weeks.
Gold pays nothing, so its price is set by what you give up to hold it. One number — the real yield — captures that, and it has predicted gold’s big moves for forty years.
Gold has no yield, no earnings and no central bank — and it is quoted in the one currency that has all three. Half of every gold move is a dollar move. Here is how to separate them.
Between Friday’s close and Sunday’s open the world keeps happening but the price does not print. What a gap does to an open trade, why crypto is different, and the rule IDTraders applies.
Two pairs, one dollar. Most days they rise and fall as a unit; the days they split apart are the days worth understanding, and the days that catch a two-pair copy.
Three words that appear on every trade ticket, what each one is worth in dollars, and how to turn a master’s "0.30 lot" into the risk on your own copy.
Leverage is why forex can pay well and why it can wipe an account. One trade, three leverage levels, and the exact point at which each one is stopped out.
Headline, core, month-on-month, year-on-year: four numbers land at once and the market picks one. How to know which, and what gold and the dollar do in the hour that follows.
The most-watched number in the currency market, released the first Friday of the month at 13:30 GMT. What it is, why it moves everything, and what a copied trade goes through.
The single most important idea in currency trading, with numbers: how a quarter-point changes the flow of money, and why the market moves on the words rather than the decision.
The currency market never closes, but it is not equally alive all day. Where the volume is, hour by hour in GMT, and what it means for the timing of a copied trade.
Why price stalls at the same levels again and again — the plain explanation, how to draw the levels that matter, and how masters use them for stops.
Open, high, low, close — and why the shape of a single candle tells you who won the last hour. No patterns to memorise, just the logic behind them.
