n the last few weeks, we have seen hundreds of billions of dollars wiped out of the markets.
We have seen crypto drop its trillion US dollar market cap status.
And we have seen top traders, influencers and institutions lose their portfolios.
It's exactly times like these where the inexperienced, greedy and clueless traders destroy their accounts…
And it's not because they don't have a ... ››› more

On average out of the 191 shares - the gain is 30%. The average win... ››› more

Q. “Hi Timon, I have a R250,000 portfolio and I am using the special 2% risk rule per trade as you have taught us. Based on your last trade with Shoprite with the entry being R242 and your stop loss being R232.00 does this mean I should buy xxx CFD contracts in this trade?” Hi Pete,

You'll often hear us say the same thing.
To trade successfully you'll need to know how to follow the rules, keep to discipline and repeat the process.
However, there is one crucial mistake that we see all the time from new traders.

A useless asset…
A giant bubble…
And declared it “dead” over 400 times.

As the war between Russia and the Ukraine continues to dominate headlines, we're starting to see a realignment of the global order. The US, and its allies in Europe, are driving the push back against the invasion.

In fact, recent reports hint that the world's largest tech company may just b... ››› more
Over the last six months the rand has been an absolute star compared to other emerging currencies.

For instance:
The Brazilian Real has weakened -8% to the US dollar.
The Rouble has dropped over 4%
And the Turkish and Argentine currencies have weakened over 10%.

Bitcoin has been on a tear lately.
