Imagine this: if you had the opportunity to use a huge amount of capital from a company to trade in the market and share the profits with that company. Sounds appealing, right? That’s the basic concept of prop trading.
I understand that many people are still confused about what prop trading really is. It’s not trading with your own money as usual, but rather a company that provides funds for you to trade various assets, whether stocks, futures, forex, or commodities. This is called Proprietary trading in English.
What’s interesting is that prop trading doesn’t use a regular demo account. Inste

The more unstable the economy feels these days, the more many investors want to find safe assets. In particular, U.S. Treasury bonds are widely regarded as the most trustworthy investment option, based on the belief that the United States will never collapse. Even if the headline interest rate is low, they can be cashed out at any time, and investors are drawn to the expectation of regular interest income.
Let’s first briefly summarize what bonds are. Bonds are essentially certificates of indebtedness showing that the issuer (the debtor) has borrowed money from investors. When a government lac

I am repeatedly surprised by how many beginners think that you only make money when prices go up. There are so many opportunities out there to profit from falling markets – and that’s where the question arises: short vs long position, which one actually suits you?
Let me break it down. With a long position, you simply buy an asset and hope it becomes more expensive. That’s intuitive, right? Buy low, sell high. The profit is theoretically unlimited – if the price rises to infinity, your gains do too. But your risk? It’s limited. In the worst case, the price drops to zero and you lose your entir

Been looking into commodities trading lately and honestly, there are way more solid options out there than I thought. Most people just assume there's one best platform for commodities trading, but it really depends on what you're after.
So I went through the main ones everyone talks about. If you're just starting out, Mitrade seems to be the go-to - low fees, super clean interface, and you can actually trade both long and short with up to 1:200 leverage on precious metals. They've been around since 2011 and have this CFD model that lets you profit whether prices go up or down without actually

Honestly, I have to say, for a long time I made the concept of lots much more complicated than it actually is. What is a lot anyway? The simple answer: It is a standardized unit that determines how much of an asset you trade at once. Period. Think of it this way – when you buy blueberries at the supermarket, they come in a certain box size. You don’t ask for 47 blueberries, but take the standard box. In trading, it works similarly. A standard lot in forex is 100,000 units of the base currency. A mini lot is 10,000 units, a micro lot 1,000, and a nano lot just 100 units. That’s it for the theor

I just came across a beginner trader who was confused between Pull Back, Throwback, and a Reversal Pattern—so confused that they ended up ruining their trades. In reality, they’re very different, but because they look similar, many people misunderstand.
When there is a clear trend, the price often forms a Pull Back or Throwback. This is a temporary slowdown in price, not a real trend reversal—the Reversal that many people interpret incorrectly.
Let’s clarify: Pull Back happens in a downtrend. The price pulls back upward for a while, then continues falling (Lower Low), making a new low. This is

Why is gold really rising in 2026? This is a question many people are curious about. I see that the situation is not just a coincidence but a profound structural change in the global financial system.
Starting with foreign central banks, they have continued to be net buyers of gold for the 15th consecutive year. In 2026, it is expected they will purchase up to 755 tons. Although this is a decrease from the previous year, it remains well above historical averages. The main reason is emerging market countries like China, India, and Poland want to reduce their dependence on the US dollar to avoid

If you’re wondering what 채권 is but it just feels too complicated, let’s sort it out properly once and for all. These days, many people are starting to think about personal finance, and usually they first think about savings accounts or stocks. But in fact, 채권 is a pretty decent option in between.
A 채권 is when a government or a company needs money and borrows it from investors. In return, there’s an agreement to pay a set interest rate regularly and repay the principal when it matures. Simply put, a 채권 is just lending money and earning interest.
Looking at the bond market right now is truly int

When it comes to investing, many people might only think about how much profit they can make, but forget that there is also risk involved. This is where the risk reward ratio comes in—it’s an essential tool that professional traders need to use.
So what exactly is the risk reward ratio? It’s the ratio between the risk and the expected return. Simply put, if we risk 1 baht, how many baht should we expect to get back in return? If the RR is high, it means the investment is worthwhile—because the risk is low, but you’re hoping for a big profit. If the RR is low, it means you’re taking on a high r

I just noticed that Compound (COMP) still remains a topic of discussion in the crypto community, even though there was a period of controversy and a decline in users. Looking back, this project still has a fairly strong foundation.
What is Comp? Simply put, it is the Governance Token of the Compound platform, a DeFi Protocol on the Ethereum network that allows users to lend and borrow digital assets without intermediaries. This system operates automatically through Smart Contracts.
What’s interesting is that COMP token holders can use it to vote on proposals, suggest policies, or oppose develo

I just realized that many people still don't truly understand spreads, which is very important if you want to trade Forex or digital assets effectively.
The spread is the difference between the selling price (Bid) and the buying price (Ask) of an asset, whether it's currency, stocks, or crypto. In Forex trading, you'll see two prices simultaneously, such as EUR/USD with a selling price of 1.05680 and a buying price of 1.05672. This difference is the spread.
Why should you care? Because the spread is the cost of trading. If you buy and close immediately, you'll incur a loss of 0.8 pips right aw

Just been reviewing the forex landscape for 2026 and honestly, the best currency pairs to trade right now are way more nuanced than most people realize. With $9.6 trillion in daily volume, you'd think it's all the same, but the reality is completely different depending on what you're actually trying to do.
Let me break down what I'm seeing. EUR/USD still dominates everything—roughly 24% of daily volume according to recent data. The thing that makes it interesting right now is the ECB rate hike expectations paired with a weaker US dollar. Trading in the 1.14 to 1.20 range. It's clean price acti

Silver is currently on a wild ride—and that's still an understatement. In early 2026, I saw the price plummet over 30% within just a few hours from $121. That was intense. But when you look at the longer-term trends, it gets interesting. The silver price forecast is currently dividing analysts completely.
The interesting part: 2025 was a turning point. After years of fluctuating between $20 and $35, things suddenly took off. In October 2025, the price broke the old 45-year record high of nearly $50 for the first time, and that was just the beginning. By the end of the year, silver was already

I've just noticed that many people are still confused about costs in business, especially the difference between fixed costs and variable costs. Let's clarify this because understanding this well will help you think about business decisions more wisely.
Starting with fixed costs, which are costs that do not change regardless of how much the business produces or sells, such as office rent, regular employee salaries, insurance, loan interest, or depreciation of equipment. These costs must be paid whether there is income or not, making them a fundamental basis for financial planning.

Interesting, the El Salvador Bitcoin Office has just announced that Giacomo Zucco has been appointed Honorary Consul at the Bitcoin Embassy in Lugano, Switzerland. I don't know if many follow these developments, but Zucco has really done a lot to establish El Salvador as a reference point in Bitcoin education. Giacomo Zucco's appointment in Ticino is a nice recognition of his work over the years. I think it's an interesting strategic move to strengthen the ties between the Bitcoin community and European institutions. What do you think about this appointment? Do you believe Giacomo Zucco can ma

Just been scrolling through creator economy stats and honestly, the numbers around Kai Cenat net worth are wild. This guy went from posting comedy skits as a teenager to becoming one of the highest-earning streamers on the planet. Worth breaking down how he actually got here.
So Kai started young - posting funny content on Facebook and Instagram back in his teens, then moved to YouTube and eventually found his lane on Twitch. By the early 2020s he was streaming full-time, and that's when things really took off. The marathon streaming events he's known for? Those became legendary. At one point

Just realized something interesting while scrolling through history—there's actually a pretty solid connection between American presidents who were considered the most handsome president in the world at their time and their military backgrounds, especially naval service. Like, it's kind of wild how many of them had that combination.
Ronald Reagan is probably the most iconic example. The guy was 6'1", had that Hollywood charm from his acting days, and honestly just became the image people think of when they picture a charismatic president. But what's interesting is how many others in that tier

Ever heard of the ILOVEYOU virus? Back in 2000, a 24-year-old named Onel de Guzman from the Philippines created what would become one of the most devastating cyber attacks in history. The guy basically weaponized a love letter, and it spread like wildfire through email attachments to over 10 million computers globally. We're talking about an estimated 5 to 20 billion dollars in damages - absolutely wild for that era.
Here's the crazy part though. Onel de Guzman actually got away with it. No charges, no prosecution. Why? Because the Philippines didn't have any laws against writing malware at th

Just caught something pretty wild — Iran just rolled out its highest currency note ever. We're talking 10 million rials. Sounds massive on paper, right? Here's the kicker though: it's worth about 7 bucks. Yeah, you read that right.
This isn't some random financial trivia. It's actually a textbook example of what happens when a currency completely loses its footing. The Iranian rial has been in freefall for years now, and this new note is basically a symptom, not a solution. When a government needs to print notes with that many zeros just to handle everyday transactions, you know something's se

I just saw the latest news about Michael Burry - the guy has opened a long position on Microsoft. Interesting considering that MSFT has lost over 10% since the beginning of the year, so he's probably seeing an opportunity. He didn't say how much he invested in the tech giant, which is a bit frustrating because it would be nice to know if it's a serious bet or just a test. I wonder if he's seeing something that the market isn't pricing in properly. Anyway, when Burry moves, people tend to listen - the guy has a pretty solid track record. What do you think, is now the right time to take a closer
