Last week, I flew to South Africa to catch up with friends and relatives.
I'm thrilled to have also have flown with my lovely girlfriend, so I can show her around this beautiful country.
Compared to chilly Greece, the weather has been perfect and it's been incredible being back to friendly faces, open air, amazing food and a lekker Jozie spirit!
Any way last week Friday, I decided to phon... ››› more
Raise your hand if you lost money in the markets?
I know I did in 2004 up to 2008.
It was because I kept making the same old mistakes newbies make.
4 Years!
Funny thing. I already had a winning trading strategy that was working on a consistent basis on paper. And yet, I was failing as a trader.
That was until, I started talking to top traders.
From Peter L. Brandt multi-US milliona... ››› more
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.

US bond markets recently went into inversion. This is when short-term interest rates are higher than long-term interest rates.
And what this can mean is a recession is around the corner. In this case, markets are anticipating a recession sometime in the next 6 to 24 months.
But, even if you don't look at such a “technical” indicator, it should be clear the risk of recession is high.

In case you've been living under a rock, Bitcoin hit an all-time high of $67,000 last week. And if you've been reading Trading Tips, this should be of no surprise…

Generally, when interest rates ris... ››› more

You know, I went through my charts last week.
And I was curious to see how my portfolios would have done if I traded a number of other systems.
Now these systems are not thumb-sucked out of thin air.
They are ones I've optimised and back and forward tested since 2008 (When I had the programming skills to do so).
And I adapted them from multi-millionaire dollar traders like Peter L ... ››› more

And last week, I took my first trade and bought 1 Aspen CFD, thanks to Timon's last RHT trade idea.
Now I'm old but I understand that the share... ››› more

I never k... ››› more
