    You have a point there -- big governments never do anything bad because they always follow the will of the people.:p The map snapshot also shows the top four mining pools had 79.61% of the hash power which looks a lot like oligarchydemocracy at work to me.:rolleyes: There is no disputing...

    My TradingView Account Got Hacked!

    I'm no expert, but I think it works something like: A hacker steals hashed passwords from a vulnerable website. From a list of potential passwords like password, 12345, trustno1, etc, the hacker hashes each of them with hashing methods commonly used by web sites. If a match is found, the hacker...

    My TradingView Account Got Hacked!

    As I mentioned earlier in this thread, I wrote my own password generator and have a way of managing passwords without permanently storing them anywhere. I only mentioned LastPass because you wrote, "I've looked at the link you've provided above. That seems to be above my pay grade and, frankly...

    My TradingView Account Got Hacked!

    I meant a password generator like https://www.lastpass.com/features/password-generator#generatorTool can create something one can use as a username or answer to a secret question. That likely means you would have to securely store and backup them to be able to copy and paste for logins as needed...

    My TradingView Account Got Hacked!

    Yes, that's a good password. Longer would be better. And if you aren't doing so already, using a password generator like that for user ids and answers to secret questions will also keep accounts more secure.

    My TradingView Account Got Hacked!

    If the leaked passwords are hashed (and no legitimate busines should be storing plaintext passwords), making the password long and complicated makes it much harder to find the actual password. That's where a password generator like the one I referred to before could be useful because password...

    My TradingView Account Got Hacked!

    You trust google to manage your passwords?!!!:wtf: I'm not the trusting type with password managers, so I keep my own keys (not passwords) in a securely encrypted file. Then I hash the keys into the actual passwords with a password generator roughly similar to the one I posted here. Then I...

    Modeling Price Swings with Mathematical Functions for Short-Term Trades

    Here is a method of extending spline-joined wave points for timing swing trades. Find the most recent eight price swings (aka wave points) from daily close prices as in "Defining Input Value Swings" here. Join the wave points with a linear spline. Model the linear spline with a function of...

    Retail traders buying spot bitcoin ETFs have no effect on the number of bitcoins the ETFs hold. The ETFs buy bitcoin when authorized participants cause the ETF to issue new shares.

    How much futures leverage was used by the Turtle Traders to turn $5,000 into $100 million?

    Most of the original turtles were funded with $1 million dollar accounts, so I'd guess that was the website's gold futures backtest simulated. I think the main point of the article is to sell viewers an improved version and/or other trading systems.
