Interesting fact about ally smelting. A lot is done in Iceland due to Iceland having almost free leccy from their thermal vents. In a round about way it's a way that Iceland can export its excess and very cheap energy. And it's no different with Bitcoin. Bitcoin a) uses a lot of energy, but b)...

I just switched from Diet Coke to Diet Pepsi and was amazed how thin the ally is on their cans. I don't think they can get any thinner without the can caving in.

If there's movement in a stock/index/FX/Commodity etc then most trading stratigies work, even a simple MA crossover. Some strategies better than others of course but still, they all will generally work. So just use a scanner and go where the action is. Today it might be AMZN, tomorrow EUR-USD...

Rule #1 in NOT trading options - Know your enemy, you're up against the best of the best in the trading business. Traders who've been honing their skills for years if not decades. They're the ones selling you the options. Ask yourself how long you've been in the option business versus them? If...

Some say covering if/when they've reduced in price by 90%-95% (from there you shorted) is a sound idea due to the fact that in the last week or so before expiry any big down move in the underlying can really move the price of the puts, ie they can climb hundreds of % if not a few thousand %...

931, yes, costs have to be taken into account. Buy BTC and exchange to Monero would probably cost 1%-2%. Not too bad if done once in a while, can get expensive is doing it all the time. Buying Monero direct from an exchange (with fiat) would probably be 0.5%.

Yes, but banning privacy coins from Exchanges is one thing, banning them from a country is impossible. Easy to get Monero, buy Bitcoin, use Bisq to buy Monero. Use Bisq to exchange the other way as well. Bisq uses Tor so pretty hard for anyone to figure out what's going on. But if someone is...

You're better off splitting them up and then trading the same patterns using just 2 time-frames. so 5-15, 30-60, 120-240 etc. However, I always prefer 3 timeframes higher so 1-3, 5-15, 20-60, 60-180 and so on. Even 1D-3D is good. Using too many timeframes is a) hard on the brain, and b)...

Again, it doesn't matter. The price of that share is going to go where it goes regardless of what the offer is on ARCA versus the offer price on your present feed. if the offer is for 3,000 shares versus 300 the stock is still going where it's ultimately going. Focus on where the price is...

Pretty pointless IMHO. You'll make or lose money on calling the direction right, not on which Exchange has the best bid-offer etc. So 100% of your focus should be on the potential direction. The market will go where it's going regardless of what's on Level 2.

Governments consider banning Monero. Thanks for making me laugh. How exactly is my question and how easily can and will that ban be enforced? (Note, most Governments have also banned drugs. How's that working out for them?).

For longer term investing rebalacing too quickly (monthly for example) is probably not the best way. Quarterly is better but the Permanent Portfolio, probably the best set/forget portfolio strategy out there, suggests doing it yearly. I agree. 25% Cash 25% Stocks 25% Bonds 25% Gold (Some...

Trading/specuation is so important to an economy everyone should be saying a small prayer to traders/speculators before they go to bed. Without speculation we wouldn't have large companies and without large companies we wouldn't have airplanes, cars, white goods, cheap food and so on. Why...

The problem with screenshots of your setups is this is the easiest game in the world when you have the full picture. But when we trade we don't (at the time of execution) have the full picture, ie THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE CHART. So it's better to 2 screenshots, the first at the time of the...

No rules on the internet...

Very interesting comments from a poster over at zero Hedge. His argument is not to invest in CCs but rather trade the damage they might cause to the present financial system. I have nothing against BTC or any of the others but the below analysis seems a far easier (less hard), better and more...

TA works great on all time frames even the 7 second chart. The trick is to learn to use it to spot perversity in the markets because perversity is what the markets are all about. So look for evidence price has just forced people out and then look for strong evidence it's forcing people back in...

As I said, let the flamings begin :) Nothing like a touchy c-currency advocate. The insults will flow. As in my tech career was over before it started and I have trouble dressing. Nobody has said the old favourite, yet...you live in your mum's basement!

You're right, I was wrong, it only takes 1 hour to create a new C-currency. https://themerkle.com/altcoins-dying-make-one-hour/ PS. By my research, and I'm not in tech :), there are about 25 c-currencies out there right now. Probably more by the end of the year. Who knows, within a few years...

Agree Pek, but at least there's something behind the stocks you mention and therefore becoming better, or taking over, from AMZN or TSLA is going to take far more than a month of programming.
