Looks like a grid strategy or Martingale, too smooth equity curve, likely to accumulate small risks in one big one (feature of such strategies)

They look good and properly regulated well you have to compare trading costs with other brokers to make a proper decision, otherwise they look legit

Concentration of mining power is also centralization just very inefficient. But well yes I can't imagine completely decentralized systems adopted at government levels it just runs counter the idea of a state

In my view it's quite intuitive to expect that traders use higher timeframes to determine trends and lower timeframes to find entry points depending on what they expect (trend continuation, trend abortion). Zooming in a pullback or breakout you can ...

Yeah, Euro recovered significantly but turning points usually happen at the start of new year (should be some seasonal pattern) and the odds in my view that Euro's decline will resume.

Also the odds are greatly against you if you do manual scalping, I got significant improvement in returns after I automated entry and exit decisions. Many trading opportunities require reaction below human threshold, hence trading bot is the only ...

I think there is no black-or-white answer here they just gradually cashing out hoping for new highs to get more profit on the rest of their holdings, just as regular BTC speculators just more sophisticated. We are talking about average Joe in ...

Yes, I agree but what about proof of stake or other mechanism. I think that progress in adoption will inevitably lead to new solutions how to verify transactions, you know it is two-way feedback process otherwise it is catch 22 situation - no ...

There is no such thing as the best brokers, they use roughly the same liquidity providers and sometimes can have good fills and sometimes bad fills on your orders, I think it is often random and you can't predict it. Just use brokers which have FCA ...

Tickmill is most probably an ECN broker as well as Hotforex they keep very low spreads during liquid sessions, impossible with STP approach imho

Price action is basically analysis based on intuition which is weak approach. There are numerous interpretations of price behavior (some will see reversal, other will see a pullback inside a trend) and there is no way to say which one is better. In ...

At Tickmill or Hotforex spreads on EURUSD, USDJPY are close to zero during London session (1 pip average). It is either a bug or you should definitely change your broker.

You can focus on fundamental analysis then. You pick an asset identify major supply and demand forces and using fundamental data (economic or corporate reports, geopolitical events, liquidity, central bank events etc.) attempt to predict how events ...

Agree if you need a backtester better to write your own one for example in Python and use Pandas dataframe with csv with historical prices to conduct analysis. Learning programming language especially data analysis will be a bonus.

You can even find brokers with 4$ round turn commission however I will not reveal its name, do your own research.

Did you check Hotforex one url , quick look shows their USDSEK swaps is better however leverage is the same.

You don't predict price movements you predict price reaction to future events. Hence you should shift your focus at predicting possible development of current fundamental forces or events, like rise in geopolitical risks, central bank change in bias ...

Yeah, often markets change direction, i.e. reverse at the start of a new year, the latest example is S&P 500 downtrend which started in January. However you should pick trending markets if you want to implement that idea.

It is a new broker so I would give it some time to prove they are reliable and have mature and flawless trading platform. Really don't like to take additional risk except from market risk.
