Choosing your domain name (and equivalently your website's name) can often be a difficult task. Coming up with a good name can be difficult enough, and this problem can then be worsened since quite a few domain names are already registered. This can be annoying since you could come up with a great site name (let's say Your Great Name), only to find out later that YourGreatName.com and/or YourGreatName.net are registered.

This means that you must then either try and re-choose your name (and then have to re-check if the equivalent domain is free to register), or that you register a less well-known domain extension (YourGreatName.org, YourGreatName.info etc) of your original idea.

There is a third option - and this is to try and buy YourGreatName.com and/or YourGreatName.net off their owners. However more often than not this could be quite expensive (with sellers requesting $xxx or even $x,xxx+ - i.e. hundreds or thousands plus) in order to sel... Read more »

1. Finding a System to Trade;
2. Risk and Money Management and;
3. Psychology.

To use the common coin flip analogy, if you flipped a coin 100 times, because the flip of a coin in random, you would expect the coin to land on heads and tails approximately 50 times each. The more flips you make, the closer to 50% the distribution of heads and tails will be.

A trading "edge" then, using the coin flip example, would be where we can turn the flip of a coin to 51 out of 100 (or gre... Read more »

Range trading is a basic technique used by novice traders and experts traders alike. The principles behind this technique rely on the price of a security moving back and forth within a certain price range.

When the price hits the ceiling of that range it is likely to rebound and if the price hits the floor of the range it will probably bounce back up. Bollinger bands are excellent for this purpose and many traders use them to range trade because they accurately predict price ranges and they display this information in an easy to decipher manner.

Often range trading is performed by a trader analyzing strong resistance and support lines. These are effectively price barriers which a security will have trouble passing beyond and often the price will hit these barriers and rebound. A trader can take advantage of this situation by placing pending buys or sells at the resistance and support lines.

Once the price hits one of these lines and tr... Read more »
