What Gives Bitcoin Its Value?
Bitcoin hit a new all-time high (ATH) on July 14, rising to $122k for the first time in its history. On this same day in 2010, a single Bitcoin was worth… $0.07. This incredible rise from a near-worthless digital experiment to a $2.5 trillion asset class begs the question: What is it exactly that makes Bitcoin so valuable? [caption id=...
July 16, 2025Read More >Is a Successful Scalping Strategy Possible?
Every serious trader has “had a go” at scalping at some point in their journey. The idea of rapid and high-frequency entries, quick profits, with dozens of trades in a single session, suggests that it is a fast path to achieving a potential income from trading. The theory is that if you can make just a few pips or points repeatedly and fre...
July 14, 2025Read More >How to Spot When the Trend May be Truly Turning
There are few trades as appealing, or as risky, as trying to catch a market reversal. The idea of entering at the turning point and riding the new trend is exciting. However, most traders fail to consistently produce good trading outcomes on this potential, often entering too early without confirmation, and thus get caught at a pause point of ...

Despite living through one of the most chaotic political and trade environments in recent history, the ASX 200 delivered its strongest performance since the pandemic rally. The S&P/ASX 200 Index gained 9.97% in capital growth and 13.81% in total returns, hitting a record high of 8,639.1 points in June. While Trump's tariff announcements c...
July 9, 2025Read More >Where to for FY26 and beyond?
The ASX 200 closed out the 2025 financial year on a high, reaching a new intra-month peak of 8,592 in June and within touching distance of the all-time record. The index delivered a 1.4% total return for the month, rounding off a strong final quarter with a 9.5% return and locking in a full-year gain of 13.8% — its best performance since 202...
July 8, 2025Read More >Revisiting the Turtle Traders: Applying Lessons to a New Market
In the world of trading, few stories are as famous as the one behind the Turtle Traders. The Turtle experiment was simple in concept — could absolute beginners, given nothing but a set of rules and two weeks of training, beat the markets? The results of the experiment were extraordinary. Even today, four decades later, many of their ...
July 7, 2025Read More >What Is the Best Time of Day to Trade?
Most traders obsess over entries, indicators, and setups, but often overlook a simple factor — the time of day that you trade. Time of day affects volatility, liquidity, and when new information enters the market. Ignoring it can turn good setups into frustrating inactivity, or even losses, while embracing it can help you trade with the m...
July 7, 2025Read More >Why Smart Traders Trade the Price Story, Not Indicators
There is an apparent enthusiasm among traders nowadays to add indicators to charts that resemble modern art more than market analysis. RSI, MACD, moving averages, stochastic oscillators, Bollinger Bands, volume profiles, and so many more. While these tools do have their place in some strategies, many traders forget the fundamental truth: price...
June 30, 2025Read More >3 Key Takeaways From the June FOMC Meeting
1. Inflation Uncertainty While recent data has shown core inflation moderating, core PCE is on track to average below target at just 1.6% annualised over the past three months. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell made clear that concerns about future inflation, especially from tariffs, remain top of mind. “If you just look backwards at t...
June 24, 2025Read More >The US Entering the War – What Does It Mean for Oil?
The US has entered the Israel-Iran war. However, despite an initial 4 per cent surge on the open, oil has settled where it has been since the conflict began in early June — around US$72 to US$75 a barrel. Trump claims the attacks from the US on Iranian nuclear facilities over the weekend are a very short, very tactical, one-off. This is someth...
June 24, 2025Read More >Scaling In and Scaling Out: Advanced Position Management for Every Market
Position management is one of the most overlooked skills in trading. The shiny new entry setups seem to proliferate our social media channels, while position management receives little airplay. Yet it can be what separates a trader who rides price moves with clarity on when to take action, from one who repeatedly watches their unrealised profits...
June 23, 2025Read More >Imposter Trader Syndrome: Why Confidence Matters as Much as Analysis
Have you ever stared at your charts, perfectly certain your setup is valid, then right when you are ready to press the entry button, you freeze, tweak the setup, or abandon it altogether? If so, then you have probably experienced what I call the ‘Imposter Trader Syndrome’. Irrespective of trading experience or the evidence-based nature of...
June 20, 2025Read More >The CFD Trader’s Guide to Corporate Actions
Ignoring corporate actions is a common pitfall many CFD traders fall into. Longing or shorting the underlying share is rooted in technical and fundamental analysis, and simple dividend payouts or buybacks feel unimportant to the trading strategy. However, even though you’re trading an instrument whose value is determined by the movement of an ...
June 19, 2025Read More >Oil Price Reality: Are We Destined for New Highs, or Just Another False Alarm?
Oil has been thrust back into the spotlight as the negative catalyst for markets. The events over the weekend highlight just how fragile the Middle East is and how it will shape global trading in the second half of 2025. Putting Iran in an oil-specific perspective, despite rising geopolitical tensions, the potential for sustained disruptions to ...
June 16, 2025Read More >Israel-Iran Conflict: How Markets Are Reacting and What Traders Need to Know
Last week, the simmering geopolitical situation in the Middle East took a dramatic turn with Israel launching large-scale airstrikes on Iran. Primarily targeting nuclear and missile sites and key Iranian leaders, fears are increasing of a move towards Iran developing local nuclear development capability.. In the days since, Iran has retaliated...
