Best Online Trading Practices And Forex Strategies
Forex strategies are important for every Forex trader to trade well. The trading guidelines and strategies have to be followed by every trader in order to achieve success in this field. Defined a well planned strategy before you enter into a trade is useful to avoid emotions over the way you perform trade. There are many ways of online trading adapted by the traders and we can broadly categorize them into two ways – technical trading and fundamental trading.
Forex strategies – Trading on technical analysis
Those who use the Forex charts and graphs to identify the potential levels of buying and selling are called technical traders or chartists. Technical analysis takes historical prices and uses it to identify the future trends. The graphs and charts of currency prices with time is used to plot the information. The repetitive patterns are identified and used to predict the future trends. There are many technical tools used in this analysis and the examples are Price chart patterns, Bollinger bands, Fibonacci retracements, Candlestick charts and more.
Trading on fundamental analysis of the market
This is also referred to as online trading on any Forex news released. This involves the study of events and News relating to the economy of the country to which the currency belongs in order to determine the trade opportunities. The traders who use Forex strategies related to fundamental analysis are termed as fundamentalists. They keep a close watch on the changes in the indicators for the economy which are interest rates, inflation, employment rates and many others. Being alert to the economic news released and the close attention to the timings is required for a fundamentalist to succeed.
What are the online trading disciplines which a Forex trader should follow?
A Forex trader can never be successful if he does not follow the online trading discipline in this field. It is very important to be a smart and disciplined trader if you want to remain in a profitable position for a long time in the Forex trading field.
- It requires discipline of sticking to successful Forex strategies to be successful.
- Whatever is the direction of the trade, the worst thing which is done by a trader is to act without thinking and react emotionally. This only brings losses.
- If you have entered into a trade with your best analysis done before and still the trade goes against your plans, the best thing is to cut your losses and move on.
- Randomly buying and selling in any fluctuation in the market is not a good Forex strategy and it is a good way to lose money rather.
- Use of stop-losses into the orders you execute is a good way of protecting your investment.

Another big benefit of using templates is that managers can ensure that employees use only the highest performing e-mail template on a consistent basis to ensure that the right messages get across to the customers.

Omate Rise is a circular Android 3G smartwatch for just $200
Omate probably isn’t the first brand that comes to mind when you think of smartwatches, but the truth is it was one of the first to launch a 3G-enabled smartwatch. It’s been over two years since then but such devices have yet to fully take off, not to mention that LG has recently canned its latest LTE watch. But that’s good news for Omate who is launching the Rise, a $200 fully circular smartwatch, via Indiegogo on December 7th. Much like its predecessor, the Rise runs on full Android 5.1 (customized with Omate’s new OUI 4.0) instead of Android Wear, meaning you can side load any regular Android app — including all the missing Google Play services — onto it. But of course, you’ll have to get used to poking around on that 1.3-inch, 360 x 360 round LCD. Additionally, the Rise also works as a notification watch with phones running on either iOS 9 or Android 4.4 and above.
OLED panels race to the top, $37.2 billion in revenue estimated by 2020
The Korea Herald , which is why LG and Samsung (which even plans to sell its LCD plant) have been investing so much into it.
The common saying says all things that rise must also fall, but we would say OLED panels are just starting to go on their ascension, and a new report from Allied Market Research would agree with such assumption. According to the latest statistics, the OLED world-wide market is to reach a $37.2 billion in revenue by 2020. The number is hard to ignore, as is the CAGR (Compound Anual Growth Rate) of 18.3% during the forecast period of 2015-2020.
What is OLED?
The concept is very complex and a bit hard to explain, but we will try to simplify it a bit. In essence, an OLED panel is simply a screen made of organic materials. These emit light when electricity is applied through them, which means they require no back light (unlike LCD displays).
OLED screens are typically made of four layers: the substrate, the cathode, the anode and the organic layer. The anode and cathode are in charge of the movement of electrons, which travel through the organic layer (this part helps produce light and color).

AMOLED vs PMOLED
By the way, there are two main OLED technologies currently available, and these are believed to continue being the most popular in the years to come. These would be AMOLED and PMOLED. The main differences are that AMOLED displays are more expensive and material intensive, but they happen to provide a better image and make for higher definitions. On the other hand we have the PMOLED panels, which are easier to build and much more affordable, yet lack on quality.
This report states AMOLED will be the most popular of the 2, for obvious reasons. In fact, they go as far as saying that it will make for $32.0 billion out of those $37.2 billion in OLED revenue by 2020.
See also: AMOLED vs LCD: differences explained
The benefits of going with OLED
There are plenty of reasons to go with OLED technology. For starters, the picture quality tends to be better. Colors are more vibrant, blacks are deeper, and because these are not back-lit, they offer a much higher contrast when compared to LCD. The same characteristics allow it to have better viewing angles.
In addition, these screens use less energy, are thinner and happen to be more durable. What is there not to like?!
See also: The state of AMOLED 2014 and beyond
Why wait for 2020?
Though OLED screens are obviously the better choice in this market, some do still prefer the color accuracy that IPS LCD screens can produce. OLED is definitely not for everyone, and it also doesn’t help that it does happen to be a more expensive technology. This is why you usually see it in high-end smartphones that cost a pretty penny.
We do know the prices of OLED screens are expected to come down, though. In fact, it is said OLED screens may undercut LCD displays by next year. Regardless of what happens? I am glad the world is adopting OLED screens, as I do prefer the image and performance they offer. Do you disagree? Would you rather have some form of LCD screen or any other technology?
Samsung replaces its smartphone chief
Samsung Mobile’s top execs held on for a while during the company’s troubled time with smartphones, but it’s apparently been long enough. JK Shin, in addition to another co-CEO, (Samsung’s exec lineup is a… multi-layered one), will withdraw from daily operations, replaced by DJ Koh, a mobile exec who previously oversaw Samsung’s barely-nascent Tizen mobile OS and Samsung Pay — neither of which are international success stories (yet?). At the same time, Samsung’s head of TVs and home appliances, BK Yoon, is being moved on to focus on “long-term strategy”.

Google is matching up to $1MM for donations to DonorsChoose.org (students in need) #ForEveryKid
Happy Holidays everyone. I’m sure many of you are tired of Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals, and your wallets are a little lighter after the spending binge. I truly hope you all got spectacular deals on incredible products, either for yourselves or for a loved one.
Now that it is December, the time is upon us to get in the spirit of giving.
One of my very favorite things about Google is their commitment to making a difference in the world. At the very bottom of the Santa Tracker webpage, Google is asking for people to get in the holiday spirit by donating to DonorsChoose.org. Not everyone is fortunate enough to splurge during the Black Friday weekend and some kids don’t even have access to simple school supplies.
#ForEveryKid (From Google)
“Help fund a special project on DonorsChoose.org. This December, we’re helping to double the impact by matching donations by 50%, until we reach our goal of donating US$1,000,000. Together, we can make classrooms more inclusive #ForEveryKid“
How does it work?
DonorsChoose.org is an online charity that makes it easy for anyone to help students in need. Public school teachers from every corner of America post classroom project requests on our site, and you can give any amount to the project that most inspires you.
When a project reaches its funding goal, we ship the materials to the school. You’ll get photos of the project taking place, a letter from the teacher, and insight into how every dollar was spent. Give over $50 and you’ll also receive hand-written thank-yous from the students.
Is there a minimum donation?
You can give as little as $1 and get the same level of choice, transparency, and feedback that is traditionally reserved for someone who gives millions.
What kinds of schools do you serve?
K-12 public schools in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, including public charter schools.
How did DonorsChoose.org start?
Charles Best, a new social studies teacher in the Bronx, often talked with his colleagues about materials and experiences they wanted their students to have, but which they had no funding to support. He created DonorsChoose.org in 2000 so that individuals could connect directly with classrooms in need. Check out our fun timeline.
Are gifts tax-deductible?
As a 501(c)3 charity, donations are tax-deductible to the full extent of US law. Our federal tax ID # is 13-4129457.
I know not everyone is fortunate enough to be in a position to donate money, but the holiday season is about giving, and even if you can donate time at your local food bank, homeless shelter, or even just helping a neighbor rake leaves, take the time to do something nice for someone. But if you are fortunate enough to donate money, help support DonorsChoose.org and Google will match %50 of every dollar raised to help students in need.
You can fund projects in your local communities, or you can give to projects hundreds of miles away.
Some projects ask for as little as $555, such as this one where a teacher is asking for support to pay for simple school supplies. The funding will provide basic supplies for her 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade special education students. The project just needs $203 to be funded half way and Google will take care of the rest.
Or this project which needs just $69 to reach its goal:
Learning With Autism: A Safe Place To Grow
My students need tools to help focus their minds and calm their bodies to be ready to learn. Other students in the class need books to build empathy and understanding.
I know Androidguys doesn’t have the reach that sites like Engadget and Android Central have, but if you could help pass this message along to everyone you know, we can help kids by funding one, two, three or maybe even hundreds of projects. Every dollar counts. #ForEveryKid
Let’s aim to get most of these projects funded before Santa comes on the 25th.

[Price: Free, $9.99/month]
Apple Music was released to a very mild reception on Android. A lot of people laid on the Apple hate which is starting to be the norm for Apple apps that get released on Android, but the service itself isn’t half bad. It boasts 30 million songs, curated playlists, and various radio stations for $9.99/month. The app itself could use some work, though, as it does contain some bugs, lag, and other minor issues. It’s worth a shot and we hope Apple fixes those issues sooner or later.

Custom Quick Settings
[Price: Free with in-app purchases]
Custom Quick Settings is an application for users of Android Marshmallow. As it turns out, there’s an experimental feature that lets you edit and create your own tiles in Quick Settings and this application allows you to engage with that feature.

Get it now on Google Play!
Pool
[Price: Free]
Pool is an app from MediaFire, which you may know as the cloud storage and file sharing service you’ve probably downloaded stuff from before. Pool is kind of a hybrid mix of Google Photos and Instagram in that it allows you to upload and store photos but you can also share them directly with people. It’s quicker and easier than sending individual photos over texts and, unlike Instagram, you only share it with people you want to share with.

[Price: $4.99]
The latest Oddworld game to hit Android is Munch’s Oddysee. It’s true that this isn’t necessarily a brand new story from the series, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t a lot of fun. For those who haven’t played, this title is an action-adventure game where you must reclaim the last package of gabbiar.

Massive ‘GTA V’ mod adds way more than 4K textures
Grand Theft Auto V got a pretty major overhaul when it made the jump from last-gen hardware to PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One last year, but that leap’s got nothing on a new user mod that takes the stick-up simulator into ultra high-definition. “The Pinnacle of V” adds UHD textures for clouds, water, rain and blood, but its biggest changes go well beyond the superficial level. The designers boast that “literally every aspect of the game has been tweaked, adjusted and fine tuned” including bullet speeds, on-foot and in-car police patrols, population density for more realistic rush-hour traffic and now you can shoot through certain materials like wood and plastic too. Oh, and vehicle handling has apparently been completely redone as well — something on full display in the video after the break.

How to enable Developer Options on your Android device
If you desire to take a bit more control of your Android device, but aren’t sure where to start, might we suggest looking at Android’s built-in Developer Options?
Let’s quickly look at how to enable Developer Options, then we’ll backtrack and discuss why exactly you would want to enable these features and what you can do with this new found power.
The following steps are for nearly any version of Android out there. We worked from both a vanilla Android experience, based on Android 6.0 Marshmallow on the Nexus 5, and Android 5.0.2 Lollipop on the Sony Xperia Z4 Tablet. We have been using Developer Options on a number of Android devices for a long time now – this article was previously written based on Android 4.4.4 KitKat – while a few features have changed, the process to activate Developer Options has not.
First, open up your main system Settings.
Scroll down, all the way to the bottom to find About Phone (or About Tablet.)
Scroll down again and find the entry with Build number.
Start tapping on the Build number entry, Android will now pop up a message informing you that in x amount of clicks, you will become a Developer. Keep tapping away until the process is complete. Well, we can forget about an education and work experience if tapping a button a few times is all it takes to become an Android developer! I’m kidding of course.
With that out of the way, head on back to the main system Settings and you will now see Developer options listed. For me it was the second to last entry.
What are Developer Options good for?
Allow me to begin with a warning. Developer Options contains a number of items that truly are for trained professionals. Please do not change anything if you do not understand what it is or does. At the very least, take note of the default setting and be prepared to come change things back if anything goes wrong.
Now, as the name implies, Developer Options are a set of tools and settings designed to assist an app developer in optimizing their products and tracking down errors. For example, the option called Pointer location provides a precise reading of user input. While this is great for a developer that needs to understand touch location and movement, the overlay is fairly unusable for your everyday computing.
Instead, perhaps Show touches would work for you. You’ve seen the result of Show touches before, it is that little white dot that is present in many of our Android customization articles.
Apps like Helium backup require that you turn on USB debugging, which is also found in this list.
We won’t spend any more time digging through this list, there are many options, most of which will not do you any favors for your day to day. Of course, with a few careful tweaks, one could dramatically improve, or destroy, their Android experience.
One menu down, one to go
While there are a few changes to the features available within Developer Options itself, we are more excited about the new hidden menu that allows Android 6.0 Marshmallow users to edit the layout for the Quick Settings notification menu. A few quick clicks, pokes and prods will have you up and running. We’ve previously discussed how to do this, make sure to go check it out.
Edit Quick Settings in Android 6.0 Marshmallow
Are there any Developer Options that you always turn on for your devices?
