Bites Of Trading Knowledge For New TOP Traders #4 (short read)Bites Of Trading Knowledge For New TOP Traders #4 --------------------------------------------------------------- What is the role of a financial custodian? – A custodian or custodian bank is a financial institution that holds customers’ securities for safekeeping to prevent them from being stolen or lost. Custodians are responsible for the safety of assets and securities and provide services that include trade settlement, investing cash balances as directed, collecting income, processing corporate actions, providing valuation of securities positions, and providing recordkeeping and reporting services. What is the role of a financial exchange? – An exchange is a marketplace where securities, commodities, derivatives and other financial instruments are traded. The core function of an exchange is to ensure fair and orderly trading and the efficient dissemination of price information for any financial instrument trading on that exchange. What is the role of financial regulators? – A regulator authorizes, supervises and regulates, financial institutions operating in a country to ensure the soundness of the overall banking and financial system. This supervision enables financial institutions to operate and provide efficient banking and financial services. RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR CORPORATES AND INDIVIDUAL INVESTORS – Portfolio Diversification – Portfolio diversification is the process of investing your money in different asset classes and securities in order to minimize the overall risk of the portfolio. For both corporate and individual investors, having access to markets that enable the building of a diversified portfolio is an important consideration when managing futures focused accounts. Similar to managing risk, the market to trade would be a key variable to clearly state and support with reasons for trading or investing. Reasons for selecting one market over another could include price volatility, liquidity, daily volume traded, size of the minimum price increment, and value of the minimum price increment. Comparing these variables between markets will help decide the suitability and/or risk of each. For example, the parameters for a price driven strategy may be designed to be applied to any market whether it be index equity futures or forex futures. However, the signals for entry may not always trigger if a trader were just to focus on a single index equity futures such as the Micro MSCI USA Index futures. Having access to other futures markets to apply the strategy to allow for the creation of a diversified portfolio with varying entry and exit points or the ability for more trading oriented investors increased opportunities to execute price driven strategies more often across a range of futures markets.

Bites Of Trading Knowledge For New TOP Traders #1 (short read)Bites Of Trading Knowledge For New TOP Traders #1 --------------------------------------------------------------- What is Hedging? – Hedging is the action taken through the use of a financial instrument to minimize the loss or risk of the loss of value of an asset due to adverse asset price movements. Who are Hedgers? – Hedgers are market participants such as commodity producers who want to lock in selling prices of commodities they produce, or food manufacturers who want to lock in buying prices of raw materials purchased. Market participants also include financial institutions handling financial assets and use derivative products such as futures to manage the risk of a portfolio of financial assets. What is the difference between Physically Delivered vs Cash Settled Futures Contracts? – Physical delivery is a term in a futures contract which requires the actual underlying asset to be “physically delivered” upon the specified delivery date, rather than being cash-settled. Cash settled futures on the other hand allows for the net cash amount to be paid or received on the settlement date of the futures contract. Futures exchanges may offer both types of contracts to market participants who have different purposes for trading futures contracts. Risks and opportunities for corporates and individual investors: HEDGING – Hedging currency exposure with the Mini U.S. Dollar Index ® futures contract is a way to manage business currency risk by taking a directional position depending on business requirements for conversions to or from the U.S. Dollar. For example, a hedger may have expected the U.S. Dollar to weaken from 93.50 on 31st March (based on an analysis involving the overall downward trend in the market having retraced to the Fibonacci retracement level 76.8%) and may have had plans to convert U.S. Dollars to Singapore Dollars over the coming months to make payments to suppliers in Singapore Dollars. The hedger could have opened a short position using the Mini U.S. Dollar Index ® futures contract at or around 93.50 to lock in the value of the U.S. Dollars that they planned to use in the future at the time of payment to the supplier.

USD - Rejection The dollar is approaching a multi year line of resistance and also some overbought levels as can be seen on the RSI. The last time the dollar approached this target was 2020 and had a huge rejection. I suspect the same line will again act as level of resistance. “It’s going to be the biggest crash in world history. We have never had this much debt pumped up. Debt is the biggest problem of all…the debt to GDP ratio is out of sync. So when it comes down, and it’s going to bring everything down with it, that’s when I’m going to be buying more gold, silver, and Bitcoin,” Kiyosaki said. He noted that the possible crash will result from decisions made by the Federal Reserve and the Treasury. Kiyosaki opines that decisions made by the institutions do not mirror the current state of the economy (Author of Rich dad Poor Dad).

DX - @ Bottom of RangeA predicted 3% fall in the US Dollar during 2021, was incorrect and met with a Global default denomination of +3.5%. The 7.5% swing and miss in Sum. In the world of currency values and major financial institution predictions - Missing the Mark by the largest Margin in predictive assumptions is no small feat. This never happens and yet it did happen. Fears of the recovery in China, Japan, Australia, and the UK in terms of manufacturing and durable goods corporate performance - failed to meet expectations. China began to restructure Trade. Japan turned inward continuing the largest build in Defense before World War 2. Australia went full mental with Covid restrictions, closing off its Economy. The UK further removed ties to the European Union with Bre-Exit advancing from February to June. Coffin Nails were abundant, their hammering continues.

DXY Dollar Index Losing Momentum $90.45This is your tarot chart reading per event. DXY is the most important highlight to watch for all marketeers and traders. DXY is normally to calculate the relative between other currencies and some commodities. 1st rebound is on 7th January 2021 2nd rebound is on 1st June 2021 DXY is good performer when it comes out with stimulus projection or stimulus release. This year 2021 pattern took some major constructive pattern. January to March = strengthen March to June = weaken June to Sep = strengthen Thus, we can expected Q4 the US dollar index will be weaken. As clearly shown that the pattern development on the current constructive pattern is losing. The steam of strengthening losing it's momentum as the stimulus of injection dollar to the market gained less traction control. Based on my calculation, there will be no more upscale towards the dollar projection. Q4 is coming and the all indices will be going into depression. Thus, I am predicting the dollar will hit the value of $90.45 starting next week course developing trend. Zezu Zaza 2048

DX - Dollars Expanding Range 8950 - 9750Inflation Trades, Transitory Trades, Cleanest Dirty Blouse Trades FX is setting up for a Primal Accident. It remains the largest Intra-Day Market as Liquidity begins to abate within the DX Complex. The 6 pairs remain in FLUX, heavily so waiting on the DX to make it's larger move. With so many Macro and Geopolitical influences hip sway within Foreign Exchange... it remains one enormous mess. The 6e is likely the most damaged, although it's held up well, the ECB continues to Provide Blunder after Policy Blunder. Negative Rates were the final call, we are simply waiting for the disaster there to unfold in the coming months. The ECB has provided more utterances as to the direction and goals of their Basket Case. Coppertone Goddess LeGarde's persistence in installing a Digital "Currency" (Not a Currency in any manner, form, way) within the Block has repeatedly been stymied... The intent is clear, the implementation has been difficult as The Great Experiment was doomed to fail day one. Monetary Unions which fail to aggregate Debts, Fail. Period, the end. We are simply waiting on the tempest to blow the teapots lid clean off. The GBP, London's Financial Center trembles at the thought of how this transition will impact the imbalances. The Soft Exit isn't quite working as planned. The UK left the European Union's sordid mess and left 27 countries - bringing to an end 47 years of British membership of the EU and prior institutions. It was a slow and arduous divorce, one that created immense volatility on the path of separation. The actual effects did not begin to manifest themselves until January 1, 2021 when the actual split began to take shape. Northern Ireland, per usual, received the short end of the stick. Nascent ties to the EU remained and with it, further anger, dismay and despair. Another version of the Potato Famine, brought to you by the Technocrats with a number of regulations on Food. Further restrictions on Travel, Residency and Third Party Trade... did not fare well. Riots resulted. These arsonists are always a day late, it adds to anger. The UK, in sum, fundamentally withdrew from the collection of Dunces to reposition it's Financial arrangements with China, albeit slowly, but they are large supporters of China's Bond Market. It's complicated, but obvious as to why the UK began to absolve themselves of these tenuous arrangements. Northern Ireland was "Backstopped", or double bond as we prefer with a 4 year screwing aligned with the idiocy of Plutocracy that is the EU. The AUZ, NZD and CANDO are simply along for the ride. Degenerate outposts of the UK's progressive Policies towards future arrangements. A colossal experiment gone wrong shining ever so brightly in the light of day. No shame, simply far more draconian with each passing day. JBG's are wholly owned in the Land of the setting Sun. The vast majority of NIK225 Equities are wholly owned by the same degenerate failures of JCB Policies for 3+ decades. Idiocy which has never functionally changed anything but served to worsen a sink hole. This leaves the Dollar, the abused stepchild of Bretton Woods. a Currency which has suffered one default when French Warships entered New York Harbor to retrieve the People's Gold. De Gaulle had enough and on collecting France's Tier one assets... Monetary decentralization led to France's attempt at decentralization and further attempts at Nationalism. Unfortunately, the winds of change were blowing in the opposite direction and... you know the rest. Uncle Buck's extraordinary privileges' were eroded over time. Money from nothing became the Rule of Monetary Law. It began with small footsteps, on the Journey of one thousand miles to today. How this all shakes out will be telling as the new monetary order is arriving... Currency Wars lead to Trade Wars which lead to Shooting Wars. This is the History of it, it is always the same. Digital Script requires a rearranging of the Deck Chairs, this will unfold in the most violent of fashion. Best to prepare for it, The liability side of the Balance Sheet cannot be serviced. It's best to eliminate them...

DX - Whom DO You TRUSTGlobally, our nation has appeared as a Fruit Basket for some time to G7/G20 Members. Afghanistan is simply a reminder. A war which has waged on since forever... Initially, we covertly funded Rebels against the Soviet incursions. I've been the Soviet War Museum in Volgograd. It's as depressing as it gets for Russians who fought their version of Nam. Stingers to Hinds... death littered the landscape. After Trillions of Dollars spent in this region, and hundreds of Billions in Weapons left behind... our Tax Dollars spent are clearly coming into question and it is a welcome discussion. Wasted. It's as though, Benghazi has re-appeared once again to re-arm the enemy or so it would appear. The Pullout, by most metrics was handled, poorly. Our former partners around the Globe are reluctant to respond any longer. They have watched for years... the United States devolve into a parasitic Kleptocracy and "they" want no part of it. The Deck Chairs began the collective re-arrangement some time ago. And now, here we are... on the cliff's edge. We are no longer "Trusted" to do the proper, correct and moral effort(s). This continues to unfold as the DX accident approaches. The Chart illustrates where the DX is heading shorter term, it's what follows that should be of concern,
