IMF Raises Global GDP Outlook To Highest In 7 Years Thanks To Trump Tax Cuts

Global growth will accelerate to the fastest pace in seven years as U.S. tax cuts spur businesses to invest, the International Monetary Fund says in its latest quarterly update to its World Economic Outlook.

The IMF raised its forecast for world expansion to 3.9% in 2018 and 2019, up 0.2% for both years from its projection in October. That would be the fastest rate of growth since 2011, when the world was bouncing back from the financial crisis.

It is also worth noting to what the IMF attributed its rebound in optimism: according to the DC-based organization, about half of the IMF’s global upgrade stems from the Republican tax cuts passed in December.

This is how the IMF explained its growing optimism about a global recovery:

Global economic activity continues to firm up. Global output is estimated to have grown by 3.7 percent in 2017, which is 0.1 percentage point faster than projected in the fall and ½ percentage point higher than in 2016. The pickup in growth has been broad based, with notable upside surprises in Europe and Asia. Global growth forecasts for 2018 and 2019 have been revised upward by 0.2 percentage point to 3.9 percent. The revision reflects increased global growth momentum and the expected impact of the recently approved U.S. tax policy changes.

The U.S. tax policy changes are expected to stimulate activity, with the short-term impact in the United States mostly driven by the investment response to the corporate income tax cuts. The effect on U.S. growth is estimated to be positive through 2020, cumulating to 1.2 percent through that year, with a range of uncertainty around this central scenario. Due to the temporary nature of some of its provisions, the tax policy package is projected to lower growth for a few years from 2022 onwards. The effects of the package on output in the United States and its trading partners contribute about half of the cumulative revision to global growth over 2018–19.

Broken down by region:

United States: IMF sees U.S. expansion at 2.7% this year, 0.4% higher than the fund expected in October. Curiously, the IMF predicts the tax plan will actually reduce U.S. growth after 2022, offsetting earlier gains, as some tax cuts expire and the U.S. tries to curb its budget deficit
Eurozone: the IMF sees 2018 GDP growth of 2.2%, up 0.3% from October.
Japan: IMF expected 2018 GDP growth of 1.2% in 2018, up 0.5% from October
China: GDP will grow 6.6%, the IMF predicts, up 0.1%
The fund left its 2018 forecast for India unchanged from three months ago, at 7.4%; it also kept its UK growth forecast for 2018 at 1.5%, while lowering its 2019 estimate by 1 point to 1.5%.

What about risks? Here again is the IMF:

Risks to the global growth forecast appear broadly balanced in the near term, but remain skewed to the downside over the medium term. On the upside, the cyclical rebound could prove stronger in the near term as the pickup in activity and easier financial conditions reinforce each other. On the downside, rich asset valuations and very compressed term premiums raise the possibility of a financial market correction, which could dampen growth and confidence. A possible trigger is a faster-than-expected increase in advanced economy core inflation and interest rates as demand accelerates. If global sentiment remains strong and inflation muted, then financial conditions could remain loose into the medium term, leading to a buildup of financial vulnerabilities in advanced and emerging market economies alike. Inward-looking policies, geopolitical tensions, and political uncertainty in some countries also pose downside risks.

The current cyclical upswing provides an ideal opportunity for reforms. Shared priorities across all economies include implementing structural reforms to boost potential output and making growth more inclusive. In an environment of financial market optimism, ensuring financial resilience is imperative. Weak inflation suggests that slack remains in many advanced economies and monetary policy should continue to remain accommodative. However, the improved growth momentum means that fiscal policy should increasingly be designed with an eye on medium-term goals—ensuring fiscal sustainability and bolstering potential output. Multilateral cooperation remains vital for securing the global recovery.

To summarize:

and visually

Happy days are here again: Global optimism has returned, and the IMF now expectingnearly 4% growth in 2018 and 2019, up 0.2% from just 3 months ago. That would be the fastest rate since 2011, when the world was bouncing back from the global financial crisis. IMF sees US expansion at 2.7% this year, an increase of 0.4 points from October. The Eurozone forecast is now 2.2%, up 0.3% points while China will expand at 6.6% growth.
Thank Trump (for now): half of the IMF’s global upgrade stems from the Republican tax cuts passed in December. And while the economy is set to enjoy the boost from tax cuts in the short term, the IMF predicts the tax plan will actually reduce U.S. growth after 2022, offsetting earlier gains.
The UK loses: The UK, alongside India,  was one of the only key economies to have an unchanged forecast. The IMF left the forecast for UK growth unchanged at 1.5%, understandable given Brexit uncertainty persists, while the UK's 2019 forecast was cut by -0.1%.
Finally, the IMF hopes global government will take this period of coordinated growth to implement much needed, and unpopular, reforms. The IMF will be disappointed.

The Equilibrium, a key to success!

Welcome to our blog: Equilibrium (POC) is a key to success.

On this blog you will receive information that will allow you to quickly identify trend reversals in all time units. You do not need any or few indicators. This approach requires a little effort and is not so easy to do, but it's worth it.

This blog is not an instruction book for flawless trades, it lives on the active trader who is willing to share his knowledge of the POC. If you want to participate, please post only blogs on the subject and if you like a post, the participants are happy about a Like.

I wish you success here and maybe we will hear from each other.

The Equilibrium, a key to success!

For some years now, I've stopped by at Forex Factory and was always excited about the great contributions. Interesting opinions, charts and indicators should help to support the private trader. In this shark tank the forex market is turbulent. The beginners have a hard time. Just think about football once. If you want to learn football, you can start in a youth team and play up to the NFL.
In the Forex market, there is no beginner market, because the beginner plays against the biggest professionals in the world. And how that ends, everyone can think.

Well, if there are such platforms as Forex Factory, where traders from all over the world come together to face the biggest traders in the world. Of course, every trader is the competitor to the other, but you help each other out.
When trading, there are many keys to success. In my first post I want to show you a key to success. I do not want to discuss with you the meaning or nonsense of this key, but about the implementation to success. If the post is of any use to you, use the information, otherwise forget it again.
I do not claim that this key is the master key that always works.
This key works without indicators for all traders (of course only those who want to) in all time units.

The key "Equilibrium"

1. The price is determined by supply and demand in each market.
2. Any influence on the price will be returned from the price
3. Before the price moves up or down, a balance between supply and demand creates a balance.
4. If this balance is disturbed, the price moves in the direction of supply or in the direction of demand.
5. The price moves as long as supply or demand until there is a balance again. Then the whole thing starts from the beginning.

Most candles are where there is a balance. We do not want to trade there, because the price is not moving very much. So we have to act when there is no balance.

There are 3 different states in the market.

1. Offer outweighs the demand = price drops
2. Demand outweighs the offer = price rises
3. Supply and demand are balanced
According to the sellers the offer (short) there, while the buyers represent the demand (long).

1. Offer = Seller (short)
2. Request = Buyer (long)

The quantity available on the market represents the supply, the demand is the quantity that the buyer would like to purchase.
If you shop at the weekly market, do you want to pay $ 6 or 4 $ for 4 lbs tomatoes? Of course, only $ 4. So, assuming the product has the same quality, you will buy from the dealer, who only charges $ 4 for the tomatoes. Thus, the demand will be greater at the cheaper dealer than at the expensive dealer.
So what does the trader who sells the tomatoes for $ 6 / lbs do? For now, he only needs to sell 66% as much as his competitor to earn the same. Or he waits until the competitor has no more tomatoes, then sells his tomatoes for $ 6 / lb and earns 50% more. In the worst case, he has to go down with the price. These competing factors (supply and demand) meet each other in all markets and regulate the price.
In the stock market environment, the price strives to find a so-called equilibrium. At that moment, buyers and sellers are equally satisfied until an imbalance rebalances in favor of supply or demand. Then the prices rise or fall again.
But even if you can accurately identify supply and demand, you will not get on with it. Decisive are the zones where the supply outweighs the demand or the demand the supply.
Known as resistance or support.
These reversal points, which often have an increased volume, must be recognized.
There are many ways to work with resistance and support lines, I myself work only with horizontal lines, because I have the best experience.

Option A: Confirmation of resistance or support
If you have drawn resistance and support lines in the chart, look how the price is there. A later entry will often save you from big losses, but you will get into a less favorable course and minimize your potential profit. Important: the highest possible risk-reward ratio.

Option B: Enter without confirmation
You are sure how the course will behave at your indicated resistance or support line and will board immediately without waiting for a confirmation. If your expectation works out, you are at a bargain price, improving the chance-risk ratio. If the trade unfolds to your disadvantage, you need to get out early to protect yourself from major losses.

Identification of the equilibrium

The big problem with the candles in the chart is the period in which they are formed. Surely you know the candlestick formations like hammer, doji, engulfing, etc. Sometimes you work, but often not. This is due to the temporal composition of the candles. Candle formations in a certain time frame are therefore just a mere random product of the time, the broker and the dealer. If you change the time frame in which the candles are formed, so would the candles and their formations change. The doji is now a normal candle with no indication of a course change.

Therefore one should work with different time units to identify a possible equilibrium. Many turning points can be identified by means of the Equilibrium, but not all. The price in the chart is always random and nobody can predict 100% of the turning points in the chart. It's not necessary with strategic money management either. Decisive is the payoff ratio and the expectancy.

You can often see these turning points in advance and use them to your advantage. You have to look at the past of the charts, because the big traders (elephants) leave their mark in the snow, which is easier to recognize than the tracks of the small traders (hares).
Another advantage is that you do not have to load your screen with unnecessary indicators. Although I work with a self-created dashboard, which tells me primarily the momentary strength of each currency pairs and, for example, the dollar index, but I'm interested in this just before the entry or exit.
My main charts are almost entirely made up of my own resistance and support lines. The Candle Strength indicator often helps me to identify the effective candle thickness, which is not always easy with the above points.

The best indicator is the price chart and the orderbook. But the price chart is a trailing indicator, because only when the candle is completed, I get a meaningful information on the price level. But then it is often too late.

In my preliminary analysis, start with the day or 4H chart to determine the rough direction.
The 1H chart shows me the medium term bias and the 15min / 5 min chart the short term turning points in the market.
A very important instrument for me is the 15 second bar chart. In high phases of volatility you can recognize a structure faster.
A catchy example of equilibrium was in the EURUSD. After the price had risen from 1.03249 on 26.12.16 with a triple top to 1.20921 on 08.09.17 and slowly went into the correction phase, many traders wondered how far this correction would go.

The interesting thing is that the price of 1.15529 in the monthly chart was already reflected in a 2003 Equilibrium.

If you look at the monthly chart from 1994 to 2018, you could derive some trading possibilities from the Equilibrium. This usually works in every unit of time.

Example Equilibrium in the 15 min chart between 11th and 13th October 2017


Now you will wonder if that always works. The answer is NO!
Then all traders would be millionaires. If someone wins $ 100, another will lose $ 100. That's the system.
If you have lost $ 100 you should not be sad. The money is not gone, it has only one other. And he's sure to be happy.
The identification of the relevant equilibrium is difficult and only possible through many years of experience. But as you can see, this trading option is well worth it. It is interesting for swing traders, day traders and scalpers and can be used in all timeframes.
To better identify an equilibrium, one should zoom down from higher time units to smaller time units. This filters out inaccuracies.

Incidentally, it is often helpful in the chart to remove the shadows to better recognize the Equilibrium.

Equilibrium in the 15 min chart with and without shadow

With Buy Limit and Sell Limit Order you can work well in this trading system, but is rather less recommended when scalping.
Even an Equlibrium professional will reach its limits, because trading has changed enormously in recent years. The price is unpredictable and still random. Even if you work with an orderbook, you often have to realize that there are many pseudo orders that are deleted shortly before the target. Oderflow, Footprint and Cumulative Delta are still good help, but unfortunately they can not look to the future.

Trading and making music have something in common. You can learn to play both, but in the end it's the right feeling and flair that determines success and failure.

I wish you a lot of flair and feeling for the great success.

Price Action System

yea.... preferred trading style is price action/candle stick patterns as it makes the most sense to me. I’ve read pretty much all of Steve Nison’s content. I then came across Walter Peters book the Naked Forex and was instantly hooked. His rules were clear which made it easy to identify certain patterns. My problem was is that I would have to sit there and check each bar if the criteria had been met. There had to be another way?

With all my knowledge on candlestick patterns I have started my quest on creating an all in one price action indicator for MT4. I am no coder so have hired someone to do this for me. I am happy to say that I would like share version 1.0 with the community. I decided to give the indicator a name One Glance Trader (OGT) Price Action indicator. I came up with the name OGT because you can visually see any opportunities instantly!

What is included in version 1.0

This version only contains one pattern which is the pin bar/kangaroo tail (as Walter puts it). I have had coded the rules from his book and YouTube videos. Here are the rules applied:

1) Open and close are inside the previous candle

Self-explanatory hard coded in indicator

2) Open and close are in the bottom third (bearish)/ top third (bullish) of the candle's range

Self-explanatory hard coded in indicator

3) Decent amount of "room to the left"

Walter talks about pin bars forming at a price where price has not been for a very long time, creating a better indication of a reversal. To apply this in the indicator it checks if the top/bottom of the rejection wick has been where price has not been for a long time. You can set the amount of the wick (in %) and it will tell you how many bars ago price was (see image below for example).

4) Candle range greater than the previous 4 candles

Self-explanatory, you can set the number of previous candles to check.
As you can see from the image above, the above pin bar formed meets all the rules. This is EUR/USD Daily chart. The Pin bar was formed on April 3rd 2017. The number (212) means that the top 25% of the rejection wick has not been at that price for the last 212 bars (212 days). The number is in red to represent a sell signal. As you can see there was a circa 450 pip selloff.

I would not use this indicator as a standalone indicator. Use other indicators/PA for confluence.

I have created a video that goes into the settings in much more detail and how to use it properly.

I am looking for your feedback to improve the indicator and also what patterns you want to see in the upcoming versions.

Trade using Fibonacci RET

Trading using fibonacci RET (retracement, expansion and time projection)

On the topic this time, we learn to use Fibonacci intactly, why must with Fibonacci .. ??? here I invite readers to learn, because if we hone on fibonacci then we will be able to know where the direction of the market, if you do not want to learn then I do not do forex trading business, because forex trading business we have to learn to learn, because of learning we can get profit

Fibonacci Retracement 

In finance, Fibonacci retracement is a method of technical analysis for determining support and resistance levels. They are named after their use of the Fibonacci sequence. Fibonacci retracement is based on the idea that markets will retrace a predictable portion of a move, after which they will continue to move in the original direction.

Fibonacci retracement

The appearance of retracement can be ascribed to ordinary price volatility as described by Burton Malkiel, a Princeton economist in his book A Random Walk Down Wall Street, who found no reliable predictions in technical analysis methods taken as a whole. Malkiel argues that asset prices typically exhibit signs of random walk and that one cannot consistently outperform market averages. Fibonacci retracement is created by taking two extreme points on a chart and dividing the vertical distance by the key Fibonacci ratios. 0.0% is considered to be the start of the retracement, while 100.0% is a complete reversal to the original part of the move. Once these levels are identified, horizontal lines are drawn and used to identify possible support and resistance levels (see trend line). The significance of such levels, however, could not be confirmed by examining the data. Arthur Merrill in Filtered Waves determined there is no reliably standard retracement: not 50%, 33%, 38.2%, 61.8%, nor any other.

Common Uses

Fibonacci retracement is a popular tool that technical traders use to help identify strategic places for transactions, stop losses or target prices to help traders get in at a good price. The retracement concept is used in many indicators such as Tirone levels, Gartley patterns, Elliott Wave theory and more. After a significant movement in price (be it up or down) the new support and resistance levels are often at these lines.

Unlike moving averages, Fibonacci retracement levels are static prices. They do not change. This allows quick and simple identification and allows traders and investors to react when price levels are tested. Because these levels are inflection points, traders expect some type of price action, either a break or a rejection. The 0.618 Fibonacci retracement that is often used by stock analysts approximates to the "golden ratio"

Fibonacci Expansion

Fibonacci Expansions plot possible levels of support and resistance.

They are created by tracking primary trending moves and their retracements.

Traders can use Fibonacci Expansions to set multiple profit targets for their trades.

A concept I always teach is the importance of using support and resistance levels to decide when to get out of positions. Just like getting a good entry is important for a successful trade, you must also ensure you are exiting your trades at levels that maximize your gains. This article aims to assist traders in finding profit maximizing exit levels using Fibonacci Expansions.

What are Fibonacci Expansions?

Fibonacci Expansions are price levels created by tracking a price’s primary move and its retracement. The resulting price levels are then drawn on the chart in an area that would normally be difficult to gauge support and resistance using ordinary charting tools. This makes Fibonacci Expansion especially useful for picking profit targets when trading trends.

When faced with an upward trending currency pair, there are going to be times when price temporarily moves counter to the trend. We call these moves pullbacks or retracements. Once this counter move is exhausted, price resumes back in the direction of the primary trend and often times will break to new highs. It is at that moment, that Fibonacci can be used.

While the familiar Fibonacci Retracements are used to determine how far the price might originally retrace, Fibonacci Expansions can help us determine where price might head after the retracement is exhausted. On the EUR/USD daily chart below, I have highlighted a primary move followed by a retracement move.

Fibonacci Time Projection

Introduction

Fibonacci Time Zones are vertical lines based on the Fibonacci Sequence. These lines extend along the X axis (date axis) as a mechanism to forecast reversals based on elapsed time. A major low or high is often chosen as the starting point. Distances start relatively small and grow as the Fibonacci Sequence extends. Chartists can extend the Fibonacci Time Zones into the future to anticipate potential reversal points.

Definition

Fibonacci time projection days are days on which a price event is supposed to occur. Time projection analysis is not lagging but is of forecasting value. Trades can be entered or exited at the price change rather then after the fact. The concept is dynamic. The distance between two turning points is seldom the same, and time projection days vary, depending on larger or smaller swing sizes of the market price pattern. This base for drawing this shape is 2 critical points: two highs, two lows or a low and a high. Fibonacci levels are projected into the future based on those points and at this time it is impossible to say whether those levels mark peaks or valleys. If price is declining or rising approaching a given Time Projection level, it is likely this level will mark an end or a pause of a particular trend. It is always recommended to combine Time Projection with other Fibonacci tools for more dependable signals.

Fibonacci time projection is one of the four most popular Fibonacci studies for technical analysis, involving the use of Fibonacci time zones. Fibonacci time zones are generated by dividing a chart into a number of time areas, based on the Fibonacci sequence. As an example, if the base increment is taken to be an interval of one day, Fibonacci time zones would occur around 1.618 days after that day, then 2.618 days after that, then 4.236 and so on. Each interval is multiplied by the golden ratio, 1.618, in order to generate the next interval. These Fibonacci time zones are used to predict large price events, whether reversals of a current price trend or sharp changes in price along with the trend.

Fibonacci time projection is accurate to a point, but in a few cases large price events occur significantly before or after the time predicted by the Fibonacci time projection. Although this only describes about 30% of cases, Fibonacci time projection should only be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools, and as a guideline for trading rather than a sure-fire method of divining the future.

The Sequence and Ratios

This article is not designed to delve too deep into the mathematical properties behind the Fibonacci sequence and Golden Ratio. There are plenty of other sources for this detail. A few basics, however, will provide the necessary background for the most popular numbers. Leonardo Pisano Bogollo (1170-1250), an Italian mathematician from Pisa, is credited with introducing the Fibonacci sequence to the West. It is as follows:

0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610……

The sequence extends to infinity and contains many unique mathematical properties.

After 0 and 1, each number is the sum of the two prior numbers (1+2=3, 2+3=5, 5+8=13 8+13=21 etc…).
A number divided by the previous number approximates 1.618 (21/13=1.6153, 34/21=1.6190, 55/34=1.6176, 89/55=1.6181). The approximation nears 1.6180 as the numbers increase.
A number divided by the next highest number approximates .6180 (13/21=.6190, 21/34=.6176, 34/55=.6181, 55/89=.6179 etc….). The approximation nears .6180 as the numbers increase. This is the basis for the 61.8% retracement.
1.618 refers to the Golden Ratio or Golden Mean, also called Phi. The inverse of 1.618 is .618. These ratios can be found throughout nature, architecture, art and biology. In his book, Elliott Wave Principle, Robert Prechter quotes William Hoffer from the December 1975 issue of Smithsonian Magazine:

….the proportion of .618034 to 1 is the mathematical basis for the shape of playing cards and the Parthenon, sunflowers and snail shells, Greek vases and the spiral galaxies of outer space. The Greeks based much of their art and architecture upon this proportion. They called it the golden mean.

Interpretation

The slow start in the Fibonacci sequence creates relatively tight clustering at the beginning of the Fibonacci Time Zones. Sometimes, it is necessary to ignore the first 5 or so time zones. After the first five zones, these zones expand quite quickly as the sequence unfolds. According to the theory, potential reversal points can be found by looking ahead 21, 34, 55, 89 and 144 days, all of which are Fibonacci numbers. 21 days marks the 8th Fibonacci Time Zone. Some subsequent zones are listed below. Remember, you can find future times zones by adding the previous two time zones (89 + 144 = 233).

8th zone = 21 days or periods
9th zone = 34 days or periods
10th zone = 55 days or periods
11th zone = 89 days or periods
12th zone = 144 days or periods
13th zone = 233 days or periods

Conclusions

Fibonacci Time Zones are called “zones” for a reason. They are not hard reversal points, but rather potential reversal points to watch as prices approach this zone. Fibonacci Time Zones provide a cross between cycle analysis and Fibonacci analysis. Both have a wide following and turning points can be forecast weeks and months in advance. However, these forecast points serve as an alert for a potential trend reversal. As these reversal points approach, chartists should turn to other aspects of technical analysis to actually confirm the reversal. This could be a bullish or bearish pattern, bullish or bearish candlesticks, bullish or bearish indicators or clues from the price chart itself.

BREAKING DOWN 'Fibonacci Time Zones'
Fibonacci numbers are a sequence of numbers where each successive number is the sum of the two previous numbers. For reasons unknown, these numbers play an important role in determining relative areas where the prices of financial assets experience large price moves or change direction. The four popular Fibonacci studies are arcs, fans, retracements and time zones.

bitcoin Indonesia

Bagi kalangan trader online, trader forex online di Indonesia sudah tidak asing lagi dengan bitcoin, pada topik kali ini saya berusaha memuat apa itu bitcoin dari sumber berita wikipedia.
Bitcoin adalah sebuah uang elektronik yang di buat pada tahun 2009 oleh Satoshi Nakamoto. Nama tersebut juga dikaitkan dengan perangkat lunak sumber terbuka yang dia rancang, dan juga menggunakan jaringan peer-ke-peer tanpa penyimpanan terpusat atau administrator tunggal di mana Departemen Keuangan Amerika Serikat menyebut bitcoin sebuah mata uang yang terdesentralisasi . Tidak seperti mata uang pada umumnya, bitcoin tidak tergantung dengan mempercayai penerbit utama. Bitcoin menggunakan sebuah database yang didistribusikan dan menyebar ke node-node dari sebuah jaringan P2P ke jurnal transaksi, dan menggunakan kriptografi untuk menyediakan fungsi-fungsi keamanan dasar, seperti memastikan bahwa bitcoin-bitcoin hanya dapat dihabiskan oleh orang memilikinya, dan tidak pernah boleh dilakukan lebih dari satu kali.

Desain dari Bitcoin memperbolehkan untuk kepemilikan tanpa identitas (anonymous) dan pemindahan kekayaan. Bitcoin - bitcoin dapat disimpan di komputer pribadi dalam sebuah format file wallet atau di simpan oleh sebuah servis wallet pihak ketiga, dan terlepas dari semua itu Bitcoin - bitcoin dapat di kirim lewat internet kepada siapapun yang mempunyai sebuah alamat Bitcoin. Topologi peer-to-peer bitcoin dan kurangnya administrasi tunggal membuatnya tidak mungkin untuk otoritas, pemerintahan apapun, untuk memanipulasi nilai dari bitcoin - bitcoin atau menyebabkan inflasi dengan memproduksi lebih banyak bitcoin.

Bitcoin adalah salah satu dari implementasi pertama dari yang disebut cryptocurrency, pertama kali di deskripsikan oleh Wei Dai pada tahun 1998 dalam milis cypherpunks.

Bitcoin mengandalkan pada jumlah pemindahan di antara rekening publik menggunakan kriptografi kunci publik. Semua transaksi - transaksi terbuka untuk umum dan disimpan dalam sebuah database yang didistribusikan. Untuk mencegah pengeluaran-ganda, jaringan mengimplementasikan sebuah server waktu yang di distribusikan, menggunakan ide perantaian bukti dari kerja. Keseluruhan sejarah dari transaksi - transaksi telah di simpan dengan semestinya dalam database dan untuk mengurangi ukuran dari tempat penyimpanan, sebuah pohon Merkle digunakan.

Teknis

Bitcoin adalah sebuah implentasi peer-to-peer dari proposal b-money oleh Wei Dai dan proposal Bitgold oleh Nick Szabo. Prinsip dari sistem secara umum telah di deskripsikan pada tahun 2008 oleh Satoshi Nakamoto.

Produksi Bitcoin

Jaringan Bitcoin secara acak membuat dan mendistribusikan sekumpulan dari bitcoin - bitcoin yang baru sekitar 6 kali dalam satu jam ke seseorang yang menjalankan perangkat lunak dengan opsi 'menghasilkan koin' yang telah dipilih sebelumnya. Setiap pengguna berpotensi menerima sekumpulan dengan menjalankan opsi itu, atau program yang telah dispesialisasikan untuk dijalankan di alat yang pengguna punya (contohnya kartu grafis - VGA). Menghasilkan bitcoin - bitcoin adalah sering diistilahkan sebagai "menambang", sebuah istilah yang sama dengan analogi penambangan emas. Mengenai probabilitas kemungkinan bahwa seorang pengguna akan menerima sekumpulan sangat bergantung pada kekuatan komputasi yang dia kontribusikan ke jaringan yang juga berhubungan dengan gabungan kekuatan komputasi dari semua node - node. Jumlah dari bitcoin yang dibuat dalam setiap kumpulan adalah tidak lebih dari 50 BTC, dan seiringan dengan waktu penghargaannya juga telah diprogram untuk berkurang sampai ke titik nol, dengan begitu tidak akan ada lebih dari 21 juta bitcoin yang akan ada.Seiring dengan pembayaran berkurang, maka motif dari pengguna tersebut diharapkan akan berubah untuk mendapatkan biaya Transaksi.

Semua node - node yang menghasilkan dari jaringan adalah berkompetisi untuk menjadi yang pertama dalam mencari sebuah solusi untuk sebuah masalah kriptografi mengenai blok-kandidatnya, sebuah masalah yang mengharuskan pengulangan percobaan dan kesalahan. Ketika sebuah node menemukan sebuah solusi yang benar, maka akan mengumumkannya ke sisa dari jaringan dan mengklaim sekumpulan dari bitcoin - bitcoin. Anggota - anggota dari jaringan akan menerima blok yang telah dipecahkan dan menvalidasikannya sebelum menerima secara penuh, dan menambahkannya ke rantai. Nodes dapat memperkerjakan Unit Pengolah Pusat mereka menggunakan klien standar atau menggunakan perangkat lunak lainnya yang memanfaatkan kekuatan dari Graphics processing unit mereka.Pengguna juga dapat menghasilkan bitcoin secara kolektif.

Dikarenakan setiap satu blok akan dihasilkan setiap 10 menit, maka setiap node secara terpisah mengatur ulang kesulitan dari masalah yang dicoba untuk dipecahkan setiap dua dua minggu sekali untuk setiap perubahan dari kekuatan keseluruhan unit pengolah pusat(CPU) dari jaringan peer-ke-peer

North Korea Vs USA = Profit

This week we bring you a unique trading opportunity based on the ongoing developments surrounding North Korea and its conflict with the United States.
North Korea is a closed, isolated country that is not a part of the global economy. However, this country has an impact on the rates of major currencies including the U.S. dollar. North Korea, hostile towards the neighboring South Korea, Japan, and some US territories, periodically threatens these countries. Nowadays this conflict is limited by the exchange of threats, military exercises and weapon testing, but each threat is noted by the global market and by investors as a signal that it is time to invest in “safe assets.” The more significant the threats, the more they affect the market. As a result, we have a chance to get high profit quickly, if we pay attention to the geopolitical situation.
As for the threats, the President of the United States Donald Trump, as well as the leader of North Korea Kim Jong-Un, do not limit themselves in this and seem to compete with each other to see whose threat will be better. Of course, such a conflict could potentially lead to a full-scale war, but for now we can continue to watch quietly how North Korea is able to bring traders impressive gains amid new weapons testing and new threats exchanges between the US and North Korea. There probably is no other isolated country which can affect the market this way. A new round of conflict occurred on September 3, when North Korea announced a successful test of a hydrogen bomb.

In these restless times the Gold becomes a great tool for investment again. The latest news about the escalation of the conflict was immediately reflected in the value of the dollar, the yen, but above all, the intensification of the conflict had an impact on the value of gold, which has already risen to $1,334, the maximum for the past year. If you opened the deals to BUY last week, you would earn a very high profit now, but we'll have a lot of other possibilities to earn, thanks to North Korea. Soon we would have at least a new price correction, as soon as this round of conflict subsides. This means that now it's rather easy to make a profit in Forex trading using Gold, the yen, or the dollar. All you need to do is follow the news concerning the Korean Peninsula and the statements by the leaders of the United States and North Korea related to the conflict.

Trade Mirror and Trade Copier With MT4i

The Personal Trade Copier duplicates trades between two copies of MetaTrader 4 running on the
same computer. You place trades in one copy of MT4, and these are replicated almost instantly in the
other copy of MT4. The trade copier duplicates both manual and automated trading.

You can copy from multiple instances of MT4 into a single receiver, and vice versa, by running more
than one copy of the sender and receiver.
The sending copy of MT4 does not need the ability to place trades. Therefore, the sending copy can
be logged in using the read-only MT4 “investor” password.
MT4i can also provide tools for broadcasting messages over the internet between one master copy of
MT4 and any number of receivers running anywhere in the world.

MT4i, an UK software developer running the social forex trading website MT4i.com, announced the launch of new versions of its top products - Internet Trade Mirror and Personal Trade Copier. The Internet Trade Mirror duplicates orders over the internet between copies of MetaTrader 4 on different computers, whereas The Personal Trade Copier duplicates orders between two MT4 platforms running on the same computer.
Internet Trade Mirror new features
The cap on free usage of the Internet Trade Mirror has been raised from 5 subscribers to 20 subscribers with immediate effect.

There is also an updated version of the receiver EA also with a new StopTradingAtDrawdownPercent parameter. This is similar to the existing StopTradingBelowEquity parameter, but stops trading activity when floating P/L exceeds the specified percentage of account balance.

Personal Trade Copier new features

A single sender EA can now send trades to multiple receivers. It is no longer necessary to run a separate sender for each receiver. For example, you can enter "Receiver1,Receiver2" as the Channel parameter for the sender, and that single EA will then broadcast messages to the receiver EAs with the Channel parameters "Receiver1" and "Receiver2".

The receiver EA also has a new StopTradingAtDrawdownPercent parameter. This is similar to the existing StopTradingBelowEquity parameter, but stops trading activity when floating P/L exceeds the specified percentage of account balance.

Declinations Ephemeris

Declinations Ephemeris

We have a Declinations Ephemeris covering the years 1930-2025, and that can be found here: Declinations Ephemeris, in pdf format, and with 5-day intervals. The ephemeris shows declinations for the Sun through Pluto, including Chiron and excluding the Moon. In the chart, a negative value represents South and a positive value represents North. In other words, if Mercury is shown as +23 degrees and 21 minutes, the declination for that date is 23 N 21.

What Is Declination?

Planets travel in a 360° circle around the Sun, but they do not constantly stay at the same latitude. In fact, they are always moving up or down. These “ups and downs” are measured as the distance between a planet’s current position and the earth’s equator (as projected into the sky). This measurement is known as declination.

When you see planets that are at the same degree and both are either North or South, they are said to be Parallel. If they are at the same degree but one is North and the other is South, that is called a Contra Parallel.

These aspects are similar to the conjunction and the opposition aspect.

Parallels exist when there is a conjunction. The meaning will be determined by the planets involved and the houses and signs that they are in. But when two planets are conjunct and parallel, that means they share the same celestial latitude as well as degree.

Contra-Parallel exist when there is an opposition; like the Parallel, it will depend on the planets and their house positions. When two planets are opposed and parallel, that means they share the same celestial latitude, as well as opposing degrees.

There is a special time when the planet is at Zero. This is when they are neither up or down from the celestial equator. This is a time when the planet is going to be strong and the principles of that planet will be emphasized.

This Month’s Declinations

Declinations Graph

What Is Declination?

Planets travel in a 360 degree circle around the Sun, but they do not constantly stay at the same latitude. In fact, they are always moving up or down. These “ups and downs” are measured as the distance between a planet’s current position and the earth’s equator (as projected into the sky). This measurement is known as declination.

This graph shows you the declinations for each planet for the period of one month.

Agustus

A good example to see this is the moon, since you will see a whole cycle of the moon each 28 days. In the example above, you can see when it makes its maximum up and down, and when it hits the center each month.

How Do I Use The Declination Graph?

The Declination Graph is another way of looking at aspects. To use this graph, just find the planet(s) you are interested in and look at their positions in the graph. When you see planets that are at the same degree (either up or down), they are said to be Parallel. If they are at the same degree but one above and the other below the middle line (celestial equator), that is called a Contra Parallel. These aspects are similar to the conjunction and the opposition aspect.

Parallels exist when there is a conjunction. The meaning will be determined by the planets involved and the houses and signs that they are in. But when two planets are conjunct and parallel, that means they share the same celestial latitude as well as degree.
Contra-Parallel exist when there is an opposition; like the Parallel, it will depend on the planets and their house positions. When two planets are opposed and parallel, that means they share the same celestial latitude, as well as opposing degrees.
There is a special time when the planet is at Zero. This is when they are neither up or down from the celestial equator (the middle line in the graph). This is a time when the planet is going to be strong and the principles of that planet will be emphasized.
