U.S. Government Shutdown 2025: What Traders Need to Know
The United States entered a government shutdown on October 1, 2025, after Congress failed to agree on full-year appropriations or a short-term funding bill.

Forex, index and commodity CFD markets are technically open 24 hours a day, but in terms of market action, not all hours are the same.

The Inside Bar breakout is a price action setup that indicates a short-term consolidation within the broader context of an existing trend — and a potential confirmation that the trend may be continuing.

Last year was the year of the split. Tech titans like Nvidia, Broadcom, and MicroStrategy all executed 10-for-1 stock splits that sent retail investors (rightly or wrongly) into a buying frenzy. But despite multiple major stocks climbing to record-high levels this year — Netflix $1,200, Meta $760, and AutoZone $4,200 — we have yet to see a...

September 8, 2025Read More >Pinbar Reversal – Trading Setups
The pinbar reversal is one of the most-used price action signals in trading.

August 27, 2025Read More >Understanding the Break of Market Structure
Even during the strongest of market trends, prices do not move in straight lines for long. Nor do they move in random lines. Price structure has a tendency to be more like a wave, creating a visual rhythm on a chart. You can think of market structure as the framework on which all price action sits.
