Hello, I am African, more precisely Ivorian, and I would like to learn trading

Greetings from Australia. I'm all about technical analysis, patterns, and indicators. Look forward to sharing trading tips with you all.
Has anyone used Trading Central trading signals before? I've noticed that quite a few brokers offer them for free, as part of their service.
I keep seeing all these screenshots of people making crazy profits on the Forex market, and it's seriously messing with my head. I end up jumping into trades without enough planning, and of course, I lose. Need some advice on how to stay disciplined and stick to my trading plan.
A few weeks ago, Jamie Dimon and Ray Dalio expressed concerns over the size of the US deficit. Now the IMF is also raising the alarm over growing debt levels in 'advanced economies'...
Lifecycle of a GME Trader

You stumble upon a Reddit forum buzzing about Gamestop (GME) stock. Fuelled by memes, a desire to stick it to the hedge funds, and maybe a few late-night YouTube videos about the stock market, you decide to dive in.

You buy GME stock and direct register your shares to prevent Mr Mayo from shorting them. Ramen noodles become your primary food group, because every penny counts towards buying more GME shares.

Every waking moment is spent glued to your phone, watching the ticker like a hawk. Roaring Kitty tweets, and the apes erupt in a frenzy. Is it time for another moonshot?

How do you handle the psychological side of trading? I feel like my emotions are all over the place sometimes, buying at the top, and selling at the bottom! I'll burn through my trading account's equity soon if this carries on.
Earlier this year, Russia announced through TASS, its new agency, that BRICS is working on a blockchain based payments system.

You guys ever notice how tempting it is to buy when prices are soaring? I mean, it's hard to resist the hype!
In today's FT, "around 13 per cent of advanced economies plan to increase their gold holdings in the next year, up from around 8 per cent last year".
Update on the gold to CPI ratio, that has been moving in wave-like fashion over time. The smaller ebbs and flows suggest that gold has tracked reported inflation closer in recent time. Could we be on the verge of a historic breakout in the ratio? Or could the ratio form another 'cup', with gold underperforming US inflation at the margin in the near future?
Saudi Arabia's petrodollar agreement ended today. 80% of the oil traded is priced in oil, but as more and more countries trade oil in their own currencies, demand for the dollar will fall over time, driving up the price of dollar-denominated assets like oil, gold and commodities.

This Wednesday could be particularly volatile, with a core CPI release and an FOMC decision.
UBS recommends to 'buy the dip' in gold between USD 2,250 and 2,300 per ounce, in a note published this week.

Insiders selling gold ahead of the NFP?

Notice how the price of gold on COMEX sold off as the market opened at 8am, 30 minutes before the NFP report. To me, it's clear that insiders had private information and acted on it.

Anyone else frustrated with Bitcoin right now?

We've just come out of what appears to be a reserve head and shoulders pattern, which suggests that the uptrend should continue. But we keep facing resistance against this down-slopping trendline. I was hoping we'd clear that hurdle yesterday, on the 4th attempt.

I'm bullish on gold long term, but also like we could be due for a pullback towards the 100-day moving average in the near term. A "double top" has formed, and with gold trading now close to its 50-day moving average, I don't see a catalyst in the near term for a surge in price. Historically, the summer months are a weak period for metals.
Hi team, @piphunterx here. My focus is profits above all else. Been trading Forex for a decade, weathered my fair share of storms. Ready to share some battle-tested strategies and maybe pick up a few new tricks.
Thought I'd share this post on X by Tavi Costa, which does a great job at summarising the bull case for gold. China and most of the BRICS countries are pivoting away from US Treasuries, into gold. This is de-dollarisation in action.
Is anyone else feeling nervous about the FOMC meeting on June 11th/12th? The Fed's decision on interest rates could really shake things up, and I'm not sure which way the dollar is going to jump. I'm thinking of holding off on any major trades until the dust settles. Anyone have any insights or predictions?
