IF YOU ARE GOING LONG ON A TRADE, IT IS BEST TO PLACE A STOP-LOSS BELOW THE MARKET PRICE. YOU WILL WANT A HIGHER PERCENTAGE DISTANCE AWAY. AT THE SAME TIME, IF YOU ARE GOING SHORT, YOU SHOULD PLACE A STOP-LOSS ABOVE THE MARKET PRICE. THIS IS HELPFUL IF YOU CANNOT KEEP WATCHING THE CNBC, BLOOMBERG, YAHOO!

Andrew Moran TRADING SERVICES LEVERAGE ON AVATRADE: WHAT IT IS AND HOW TO CHANGE IT As the financial markets continue to become democratized and far more accessible than what they were even 20 years ago, investors - seasoned and novices alike - enjoy a greater number of options at their disposal. From trading commodities online to purchasing cryptocurrencies at an affordable rate, it is incredible to see the birth of new trading platforms. But one outlet helped pave the way for many of today's websites and armchair investors: Avatrade. Haven't heard it? Let's get acquainted, particularly on a popular form of trading known as leverage. Why Use AvaTrade? Avatrade was launched in Ireland in 2006 with the objective of giving users an alternative to the major financial institutions. Today, traders can utilize the Avatrade platform to trade stocks, commodities, foreign exchange, CFDs, and AvaTrade cryptocurrencies. It is essentially a one-stop-shop for seasoned and novice investors. But the primary question that many have is this: Is AvaTrade safe? Avatrade is considered one of the safest financial outfits since it is regulated in three tier-1 jurisdictions and three tier-2 jurisdictions. Put simply, Avatrade is regulated by several substantial entities, including: Central Bank of IrelandAustralian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC)Japanese Financial Services Agency (FSA)Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) in South AfricaAbu Dhabi Global Market Authorities Financial Services Regulatory Authority (ADGM – FSRA) The platform also maintains something called AvaProtect. This is an insurance product on the platform that allows you to ensure your trade for a specified period of time. The company will refund you should you suffer any losses during this window. One of the frequently discussed components of Avatrade is leverage. What is leverage trading stocks anyway? What is Leverage Trading on AvaTrade? What is Leverage Trading? Leverage trading, also known as margin trading, is when investors borrow funds from a broker to open or add a position in an investment that is greater than the capital you possess in your account. This means that traders can exploit leverage for AvaTrade bitcoin trading, AvaTrade stocks, commodities, and forex. Of course, there is risk involved. If your losses are accumulating, the broker might trigger a margin call, and your holdings will be liquidated. In a volatile environment, AvaTrade recommends its users to manage their leverage wisely since it is easy that a position can move against you. And, yes, since you are concentrating on leverage, do not forget about the other things, too. For example, the AvaTrade spread for forex currency pairs! Does Avatrade offer its clients leverage? Yes. The Avatrade maximum leverage offered on the platform is 400 to 1. However, this ratio is lowered to a maximum of 30 to 1 if your account is held within the European Union (EU). There are some rules, too. For instance, Avatrade will require its retail traders to maintain equity of at least 50 percent in certain trading and options accounts. Since there are different leverage ratios, how do users adjust their leverage settings? When you open a trade, you insert the leverage position you are willing to take on. So, for Avatrade bitcoin leverage, you can trade up to two to one. How Much Leverage Does AvaTrade Offer? The maximum leverage offered on AvaTrade is 400 to 1. But if you are situated in the European Union, the maximum leverage is lowered to 30 to 1. If you want to get involved in AvaTrade Bitcoin leverage, you can receive up to 25 to 1 for non-EU residents and 2 to 1 for EU residents. AvaTrade also offers leverage for CFD trading of 33 to 1. Also, for stock index CFDs, it is 20 to1 and stock CFDs are 5 to 1. Suffice it to say, AvaTrade leverage in Canada or AvaTrade U.S. margin is slightly different than AvaTrade leverage in Europe. How to Change Leverage on AvaTrade First, in order to start trading leverage on AvaTrade, you will need to have sufficient funds in your client account so you can meet a margin call on AvaTrade. This is critical for both AvaTrade margin requirements and to protect yourself from substantial losses. Now, on the AvaTrade platform, you cannot alter the default leverage level of its products. This could prove to be challenging for the less experienced investor since preset leverage ratios could be too high for you. Is Leverage Right for You? While leverage can be a great tool to increase your gains, it can also exacerbate a downturn in your portfolio. The company even writes on the website: "Leverage is a very complex financial tool and should be respected as such. While it sounds fantastic in theory, the reality can be quite different once traders come to realize that leverage doesn’t only magnify gains, but it also magnifies losses." Unless you have the capital (and a little bit more) to support your losses and to meet the AvaTrade margin, you should limit your exposure to leverage — or, better yet, ignore it altogether.

Andrew Moran DAY TRADING BEST INDICATORS FOR FOREX DAY TRADING In this brief article, we will be talking about the most profitable and accurate indicators for day trading Forex so that the life of every day trader could be made a little easier. A forex indicator is a technical indicator (i.e., measure) that helps the trade examine the market's data. Forex indicators take many things into account, including currency price, volume, and market performance. With the help of the indicators mentioned in this article, you can make better predictions about the behavior of the market in the future. This is exactly why they're a hot topic among traders, as they're set-in-stone algorithms, many of which have stood the test of time for decades on end. Thousands of day trading strategies have been built on these indicators, and many of them have been successful. So, at this point, it must be quite clear to you what signal and forecast indicators are and why they are important for day trading. Now, with that behind us, let's take a look at the best indicators for Forex day trading. The Top Indicators Used in Day Trading When looking at the best indicators, it is important to understand their workings and how exactly they will impact your trading decisions. Let's look at the three best forex MT4 indicators with a brief explanation of how they work and what they indicate. 1. Uptrend/Downtrend By looking at this trend, you can get an idea about the market's current momentum. Namely, analyzing all the historical highs and lows can be quite a valuable piece of data for your day trading choices. Although the market incentive isn't always right, more often than not, it's worth paying attention to. Most experts regard it as being the simplest—yet the most accurate—forex indicator. Relative Strength Index (RSI) If you've dabbled in forex trading in the past, you've probably already heard of RSI—an oscillator that indicates whether the market is overbought or oversold. With most assets, you can tell that a market is overbought when the RSI value goes over 70. On the other hand, when a market is oversold, the RSI value will drop below 30. Namely, the RSI indicator alone may not prove to be the most important one for day trading, as it can be easily influenced by sharp and sudden price changes, causing it to give false signals on rare occasions. However, an experienced trader will be able to look at the RSI index in combination with other important signals and principles, like the 25k day trading rule, and effectively set themselves up for a successful run in the forex market. Exponential Moving Average (EMA) The EMA can be quite a beneficial day trading indicator and is primarily used in conjunction with the RSI. Using these two chart indicators together often makes for an accurate reading of the market, making day trading forex successfully a much easier feat. Regarding the latter, the EMA works by weighting prices and then giving a reading to gauge the market situation. Much like the RSI, the EMA index can be influenced by sudden changes in market prices to give out an inaccurate reading. Still, when used in conjunction with the RSI by a relatively experienced trader, it can prove to be an excellent tool for forex day trading. Filip Dimkovski DAY TRADING GUIDE TO DAY TRADING STOCKS FOR BEGINNERS When the global economy was shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic, millions of people had nothing to do except watch CNBC, stare at their Robinhood trading accounts, and speculate on bankrupt companies. Dave Portnoy of Barstool Sports became the poster child for this activity, admitting that he would eventually stop day trading when the economy reopened. Well, the time has come. Countries are reopening, but are individuals abandoning their day trading strategies to return to some semblance of normalcy? Not quite. It is still a popular investment tool for many armchair traders who have developed a knack for finding patterns and enjoying a portfolio that is in profitability territory. For those who are entering this investment realm, there are many things you need to know before diving into volatile stocks or installing the latest day trading software on your computer. Suffice it to say, day trading is not as simple as "buy low and sell high." What Is Day Trading? Day trading consists of buying and selling an asset repeatedly within a trading session and then closing your positions by the closing bell. Day traders can be institutional investors and retail traders looking to generate a positive return by speculating on the movement of exchange-traded funds (ETFs), futures, commodities, stocks under $5, forex, CFDs, and more. Things to Do Before Trading With Real Money When investing in the stock market, it is crucial to become acquainted with a wide range of factors before you begin trading. This is critical as it will ensure you are equipped with the knowledge to increase your day trading or swing trading acumen. To help you out, ensure you do the following things: Learn the Terminology So, what terminology should you know? Let's list off a few that are imperative for day traders: Pattern Day Trader (PDT) This is an investor who executes at least four trades of a security in a five-day period and holds a minimum account balance of $25,000 (this is known as the over 25k day trading rule). Bid/Ask Price The bid is the price investors are presently bidding at, while the ask is the price traders are asking to sell the stock at. Float The number of outstanding shares available to trade in the open market. Scaling A day trader enters a position by partially scooping up shares at $4.75 and then adding more shares at $4.99. Scalping The investor will profit off small intraday price movements and turn a quick profit by trimming at the top. Learn the Strategies Every day trader should utilize a strategy rather than buying and selling on a whim. This could consist of monitoring charts, engaging in technical analysis, or using specific tactics. Essentially, not using a strategy is like walking around blind without a cane. So, what type of plan should you incorporate into your overall day trading strategies? There are quite a few, but only a few are popular, such as the following: Bullish flag pattern A bullish flag formation can be located in stocks that enjoy impressive uptrends and flash good continuation patterns. To help you spot this, read our beginner's guide to candlestick charts. Pullback trading First, find an investment that maintains an established upward trend. Second, spot a price decline from the trend. Third, pick your entry point and hit the buy button on your list of volatile stocks. Buy the rumor, sell the news Be it a war in Europe or disappointing corporate earnings, you can garner a position in a stock or commodity ahead of the news and then sell the asset when the developments come out. EMA indicator The exponential moving average (EMA) indicator is an average price calculation over a period that emphasizes the most current price data. Practice With Demo Accounts Indeed, day trading can be challenging. If knowing how to pick stocks for day trading was easy, everyone could do it and turn a quick profit. While most day traders lose money, many are successful by sticking to a routine: wake up early, study the markets, and remove emotion. That said, you can perhaps maintain a pattern of profitability by practicing this investment strategy. The best way to hone your craft is by opening a demo account or participating in a trading simulator. This way, you are not using real money and can test out other charts, strategies, and indicators. What You Will Need to Day Trade Ultimately, there are three necessary things you will need to day trade properly and successfully: 1. A Brokerage Account Before you begin day trading, you will need a brokerage account, which you can determine by best order execution, platform technology, or mobile app. To help you choose, read our Top 6 Forex Brokers for Day Trading. 2. Finances And, of course, if you are a professional day trader, you will need to fund your account with a minimum of $25,000. Is day trading without 25k feasible? Yes, but you will need to make some adjustments. 3. Strategy Next, pick your day trading strategy. Remember, it will not be your eternal investment tactic. As time goes by—and you become more seasoned and easily identify patterns—you will start utilizing different strategies. Should You Day Trade Stocks as a Beginner? In the end, day trading can be a risky endeavor. You are investing with large sums of capital and, if this becomes your career, your earnings will depend on how well you do in the financial markets. Put simply, you will need to understand your risk. Is this a daunting task? Absolutely. At the same time, with enough practice and gathering as much information as you can, you can build a fierce trading arsenal that will produce tremendous results. Every day trader is still striving to improve by learning as much as they can. The market is constantly evolving, and it is important you evolve with it to be successful. Andrew Moran FEATURED POSTS See All Brokereviews Staff IS THE YOKOHAMA TRADING PLATFORM IN SOUTH AFRICA LEGIT With the rise in popularity of online trading, more and more online platforms have arisen, and, unfortunately, many scam platforms have appeared as well. Namely, many question the reliability and safety of the Yokohama trading platform since it has advertised itself as a top trading platform for beginners in South Africa. In this Yokohama trading investment review, we will cover the reliability of this platform and whether or not it is a reliable place for forex trading. Continue reading to learn more. Yokohama Trading Platform Review Fees Reliable platforms do their best at offering the lowest possible fees, ensuring that every trader gets a satisfying experience when opening a position on the market. Unfortunately, with Yokohama trading, this isn't the case. Even though we couldn't find the exact fees the platform charges per transaction, there are a lot of online reviews shaming the platform's hidden costs. In simpler terms, this means that you'll get promised to retain more money with every transaction until, later on, you'll find that a significant part of your budget has been cut by hidden fees. Services NBR Trading Yokohama offers financial services for retail investors in South Africa. At first sight, the NBR Yokohama trading platform will look like a relatively solid brokerage to invest your money in, as you'll receive tons of options for CFD trading on stocks & shares all over the world. This platform offers trading bitcoin, and other cryptos, though we would strongly advise against registering for trading here. Should You Use The Yokohama Trading Platform? No, you shouldn't use the Yokohama Trading platform. There have been thousands of online reviews against them, putting them on a fake forex brokers list you should avoid. The truth is that you shouldn't waste your time with such a platform, as there have been many traders who have already been scammed for thousands of dollars. Namely, this trading platform hides the lack of its authenticity behind the name Yokohama, which is a reliable tire company based in Tokyo, Japan. On the other hand, the Yokohama trading platform holds the name of this reputable organization but is a fraudulent brokerage with offices in South Africa. The platform doesn't hold any relevant licenses from respectable licensing bodies, nor is it regulated under the law of any government. This means that you should avoid the Yokohama trading platform and stick to the best forex brokers in South Africa. Alternatives to the Yokohama Trading Platform There are thousands of forex trading & CFD brokerage alternatives you can go for other than the Yokohama Trading platform, so there really is no excuse for risking your money there. If you're not sure where to start, we would recommend checking out some of our top South African forex brokers and seeing which one of them appeals to you. A note we would like to make is that there are a lot of criteria you should go over before registering at a broker. For starters, a reputable broker will do its best to offer trading education resources, and other many services you might find useful, like forex trading and trading bitcoin. We also suggest that you consider going with a brokerage that offers an app download, so you can easily see your portfolio and manage your trades from your smartphone on the go.
