Welcome back everyone, I hope you guys are as excited about your portfolio as I am. As you all know, the cryptocurrency sector has been deflating the bubble. It appears as if price action is slowly starting to form a bottom as traders sort through the noise and understand that the fundamentals are getting stronger. I wrote about this last week and you can catch up on it by reading “Bitcoin - Forex Combo Strategy: Fundamentals Stronger Than Ever”.

What a difference ten trading days can make. Before US Federal Reserve Chief Powell gave his speech at The Economic Club of New York on November 28th 2018, many analysts expected two to four interest rate increases in 2019. This on top of this month’s expected 25 basis points hike which will bring the Fed funds rate to the low end of the range many currently label as neutral interest rates. The range for neutral stands between 2.50% and 3.50%. Ten trading days later and the unthinkable is being priced into the markets.

It is easy to jump on the bandwagon and claim the death of cryptocurrencies. The market has been filled with speculators who entered the trade based on hopes for something, but with knowledge of nothing. Following tweets and making investment decisions is not a smart approach. Intelligent investors filter through the noise and focus on what matters and what will eventually drive the markets. While the massive Bitcoin tally which took to the $20,000 mark at the beginning of this year was way overdone, so is the recent sell-off.

Many blame the big sell-off in cryptocurrencies on the Bitcoin Cash Hash War which erupted as two factions could not agree on how to proceed. This resulted in a hard fork into BCH-ABC and BCH-SV. BCH-ABC won the Satoshi Nakamoto Challenge and the rights to keep the existing Bitcoin Cash infrastructure while BCH-SV will be allowed to co-exist, the SV is an acronym for “Satoshi’s Vision”. As is common with hard forks, miners and developers were unable to agree on how to address the issues in the blockchain and two different ideas emerged.

Today I would like to briefly talk about the cryptocurrency crash which we saw ripple though the market over the past week. I would like to state that I didn’t see this crash coming and was positioned long. Prior to the crash, cryptocurrencies enjoyed a rather calm trading environment with prices hovering at very big support levels. That and the seasonality which we get to enjoy now, the Christmas period, resulted in me being bullish.

I would like to start out by stating that there is no such thing as making money quick. It doesn’t matter if you prefer to trade forex, binary options, play the lottery, place sports bets or go into a casino and gamble. While any of those options may result in short-term income, profits or winnings, they won’t lead to a repetitive positive outcome if you approach it with a get-rich-quick mentality. While anyone has to chose what is the best fit for them, I have settled in on forex trading as well as sports betting.

Last week I discussed the importance of candlestick patterns in my Bitcoin - Forex Combo Strategy. For those who missed the post, please make sure to read it at “Bitcoin - Forex Combo Strategy: Candlestick Patterns”. It is very important for you that you not only learn about them, but also understand what they tell you about price action.

It has been twelve months now since I started to execute my Bitcoin - Forex Combo Strategy. I entered the cryptocurrency market more by accident than anything else. On October 12th 2017 I received 2.5 Bitcoins valued at $5,000 each for some freelance work I have completed for a technology firm. It was right at the time when Bitcoin exploded to the upside and the bubble reached its full potential. A lot of digital millionaires were printed on paper, but as Bitcoin came crashing down early 2018 those millionaires quickly left this exclusive club.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Philip Hammond, never had an easy job from day one. Following the global financial crisis, the UK embarked on a path of austerity which squeezed the country as it tried to rebuild. Austerity measures remain in place, they are unpopular and are in the way of the UK economic expansion. After the Brexit vote, austerity became an even bigger burden. Now with the potential of a no deal Brexit and more economic uncertainty, all measures which may hinder the UK from reaching full economic potential must be removed.

The European Central Bank (ECB) is expected to keep its Interest Rate at 0.00%, its Deposit Facility Rate at -0.40% and its Marginal Lending Facility Rate at 0.25%. Many analysts don’t expect an increase in interest rates out of the ECB until September 2019 at the earliest. The press conference by ECB President Mario Draghi will be closely followed as the ECB is facing a series of headwinds as it is winding down its quantitative easing program. No changes is predicted in its current target to exit QE by December.

I am glad to see all my loyal readers back for the very exciting Part 4 of my Bitcoin - Forex Combo Strategy and also happy to welcome my new readers. Over the past three parts I have showed you step-by-step how I grew my initial 2.5 Bitcoins which I received on October 12th 2017 at $5,000 each into 72 Bitcoins which I bought at $6,000 each on June 28th 2018. Bitcoin as well as the entire cryptocurrency sector has entered a meltdown over the same period and while many held on to the coins, hoping for a turnaround, I created a strategy which combined my Bitcoin assets with forex trading.

In today’s information age a lot of people adopted a get-rich quick mentality. Regardless of how often they have been warned that the only thing that will happen to them quick is a total loss of money, time and maybe even hope for a better future. In a growing number of cases this has even led to depressions, mood changes and other adverse effects. This is not a laughing matter as it can also drive away your loved ones and really ruin your life. Looking at most rich individuals, keep in mind that it took time to amass fortunes.

I would like to welcome all my existing readers back and thank all my new readers for taking a chance and following my journey from Bitcoin through forex and vice versa. At the start of 2018 I had a total of 2.5 Bitcoins in my wallet. Four months later I was proud owner of 28.85 Bitcoins.

Welcome back to Part 2 of my Bitcoin - Forex Combo Strategy. Last week I showed you how I started 2018 with 2.5 Bitcoins and how I turned them into 11.5 Bitcoins in the first week of February. Now you may think that I did a lot of trading during that period, but I only executed two Bitcoin transactions and three forex trades to accomplish this.

Hello cryptocurrency traders, Bitcoin enthusiasts as well as forex traders and welcome to my Bitcoin - Forex Combo Strategy. Cryptocurrencies, with Bitcoin leading the push, started to expand following the last global financial in 2008. They were meant to break with the old monetary and centralized financial system. Fast forward a few years, I received my first Bitcoins on October 12th 2017 at $5,000. Initially I was not interested in joining the crypto craze, but the firm who engaged me for some freelance work was unable to pay me in cash as it as tied up in some legal proceedings.

Hi everyone, my name is Susan and I am from Nottingham Forest. I can only imagine that you have heard a lot of stories about forex trading, both good and bad, so I will spare you a summary of why I think it is a great idea to trade forex. Either you make up your mind and start trading forex, or you decide against. No one should have to convince you to better your life and my story is for those who already took that step and entered the amazing world of forex trading, all the possibilities it has to offer and the freedom you can gain.

Brexit is roughly 13 months away and many items remain unchecked. A two-year transition period has been all but agreed on which means that in 2021 the UK will have completed Brexit. British Prime Minister Theresa May had a very challenging premiership so far and is trying to balance her cabinet which is comprised of Brexit hardliners as well as those in favor of a very soft Brexit.

The 2018 trading year is officially on its way and as with every start of a new trading year, there are many forecasts and themes which analysts and market watchers claim as vital for a profitable year. Today we will look at three forex themes which every trader should keep in mind, regardless of time horizon, in order to increase the pips earned over the next twelve months. Understanding and taking advantage of major trends will not only increase profits, but also decrease losses.

Forex is a market in which there is a trade in currency units and various stocks. Forex traders buy a cheap currency and sell when the price goes up, or vice versa. Every year, this area is becoming more and more popular. Internet is full of lots of useful information but it is also full of myths.

Automated Forex trading is becoming increasingly popular every year. Many novice traders are unwilling to go into the analytical features of the exchange process and turning to automated trading advisors.

This question can be rephrased: Is there a job with a good salary? Yes, there is, of course, but to rise to the level of a very good salary, you need some time to work in the company in order to grasp the essence of the matter. The situation in Forex is exactly the same.
