May I ask bluntly if people here are actually serious traders? You're commenting on an article of the BILD, that is basically yellow press very famous for a picture of some tits on the cover. This is not the financial times it is a paper designed so ...

There are job offers and there are people - as long as these things don't match it is all useless. I don't think we can retrain truckers to work in IT. Working class parents used to rise working class children, soon they may rise unemployable ones ...

indeed, just as one could say the USD is kept down by states weaker than, lets say, California and New York.

Anyone did any calculation on the odds here? I see that as fantastic advertising for Starbucks "buy a coffee and win $100 000".

Because they aren't useless to the company. Running a company, especially a big one, isn't one of the easy tasks you can choose to do in your life. It's highly unlikely that they get payed just for showing up - Google/Alphabet Inc isn't the state ...

When his tenure ends. He spoke about a shitload of things to get elected (just as any other would do), whether you think he was right in his views or not, it was actually clear that implementing all these things was and still is impossible - the ...

Looking forward to a lot of whinging and whining by people who went with overused leverage into an election weekend ... More fodder for the leverage-cap supporters. It'll be newbie trader mistake as usual: greedy eyes on the potential win and no eye ...

IMHO there is no other way than muddling through or you may call it politics of small steps that perhaps sounds nicer. The reality is that it is almost impossible to get through with hugely disruptive ideas because we live in a very connected world. ...

We're in higher risk territory right now - there is a lack of certainty almost everywhere (US, Europe, UK, Asia ...). It's perfect for short term trading with a rather tight stop. I simply jumped onto the move even without knowing about his tweet. ...

Being outside every day, every weather is not always nice and it certainly wears on you after a while but that aside, the key-message of this article is "you don't need to do complicated things to make money". I can't count the number of burned out ...

Let me assure you that Schuble doesn't care how your trade goes. He is however, interested in the voters of his party (the CDU, the so called conservatives). As in most other countries voters of the conservative party are typically an older ...

I wouldn't hold any GBP position over the weekend. GBP/USD is perfect for short term trading but if you're looking for longer term positions you need some sort of stability which, if we're honest, is rare at the moment.

That depends on how the broker operates. For a non market making broker: The broker may go bust if you lose more than your account balance. Some people here believe that with ECN the broker is not your counter party but that is simply not true. You ...

I came to the conclusion that people who post mostly on news but rarely in the forums can safely be put onto the ignore list - you won't miss anything important. It's fascinating and depressing at the same time ...

Not at all. Nice and generally the lovely south of France and also areas of Italy are very close. The border is open, they're part of the EU customs union through France and no income or capital gains tax. Inheritance tax is manageable or easily ...

So what? There is a warning on almost every decent or half decent brokers page that your losses may exceed your initial deposit. We had that topic when the SNB pulled the floor, we have it now after the flash crash of the pound. I'm curious to find ...

It's too early to expect any noticeable impact. The voting, for now, created nothing more but uncertainty for the financial and manufacturing industry while the cheap pound will certainly increase tourism and some exports and is quite likely ...

If you're referring to "As long as one's gains are greater than ones losses of course!" then yours is a weak argument because that is certainly true for any business. Any business can have a lot of customers if it spends millions on advertising but ...

Top! I'll never understand why "traders" try to outsmart the market. I use BUY/SELL-Stop Orders to let the platform do the "waiting for momentum" for me. In other words, you constantly try to outsmart the market by expecting it to follow your rules. ...

Huge number of refugees in Europe has not much to do with Merkel. The border at Greece is/was basically unprotected (no surprise considering all the circumstances and the geography there). These people would have come anyway. Just look on a map and ...
