First Trade | Unraveling Gold's Resistance | AUD/USD's Overbought Surge

As the first trade unfolds, traders are closely watching the price movements in the gold market and the AUD/USD currency pair. Gold's resistance levels are under scrutiny as market participants analyze whether the precious metal will break through and continue its upward trend or face a pullback. Traders are paying particular attention to key technical levels and any significant news or events that could influence the direction of gold prices. On the other hand, the AUD/USD currency pair has experienced an overbought surge, raising concerns among some traders about a potential correction. The rapid rise in the pair's value has led to increased scrutiny of its short-term sustainability. Traders are monitoring various indicators, including RSI and MACD, to gauge whether the currency pair is overextended and poised for a potential reversal.

أصبحت مخزونات Crypto Monster ساحة معركة جديدة لتكهنات العملة المشفرة! كيفية شراء وبيع أسهم مفهوم العملة الافتراضية من خلال شركات الأوراق المالية المرتبطة أو الخارجية؟ | سلسلة أخبار Abmedia

مع دخول العملات المشفرة تدريجياً إلى التمويل التقليدي ، أصبحت STABLECOIN Iصاء ودائرة Micro-Strategy ، مؤسسة Bitcoin Resperves ، أسماء أسهم معروفة للمستثمرين. نشأت المزيد من شركات استراتيجية Bitcoin Reserve ، وشركات Sol Reserve Strategy وحتى الشركات التي لديها ETH و TRX كاحتياطيات مثل الفطر بعد هطول أمطار ، وقد زاد معظمها بأكثر من عدة مرات في المرحلة المبكرة ، وهو أمر مدهش أكثر من العملات المشفرة أنفسهم! ستقدم هذه المقالة كيفية الانضمام إلى سوق المحيط الأزرق الجديد من خلال فتح حساب للأوراق المالية في الخارج أو حساب إعادة إدخاله. ما هي مزايا وعيوب فتح حساب الأوراق المالية في الخارج؟ هناك طريقتان للاستثمار في الشركات المدرجة في الخارج. الطريقة الأكثر مباشرة هي فتح حساب الأوراق المالية في الخارج. يوصي المستثمرون الذين يحتاجون إلى التداول العادي إلى فتح حساب خارجي مباشرة ، لأن معظم شركات السمسرة تدعي أنهم لا يتقاضون رسوم المعاملات. إذا كان المستثمرون الذين يستخدمون في المعاملات المتكررة وكسب اختلافات الأسعار ، فيمكنهم توفير الكثير من تكاليف المعاملات. حاليًا ، قدمت العديد من شركات السمسرة الخارجية إجراءات فتح الحساب عبر الإنترنت. إن الوساطة الأمريكية مثل FirstTrade و Charles Schwab و Brokers Interactive IB هي خيارات شائعة استخدام الشعب التايواني. طالما قمت بملء المعلومات عبر الإنترنت وتحميل شهاداتك ، يمكنك فتح حساب الأوراق المالية في الخارج بسرعة. إن عيب فتح حساب الأوراق المالية في الخارج هو أنه يجب تحويل الأموال في الخارج. عادة ما تكون رسوم التحويلات حوالي 1000 دولار في كل مرة ، اعتمادًا على رسوم التعامل مع كل بنك. عند التحويل إلى الوراء ، ستقوم الوساطة أيضًا بفرض رسوم على التعامل مع الرسوم ، والتي ليست مناسبة للودائع والسحب المتكررة. هذه الطريقة مناسبة للمستثمرين الذين يرغبون في تفريق بعض أصولهم في الخارج. فيما يتعلق بالتدريس الكامل لفتح حساب في سوق الأوراق المالية الأمريكية ، يوصي المؤلفأستاذ السوقيرجى الرجوع إلى المقالات الخاصة لأولئك المهتمين بها.أخبار السلسلة لا تتقاضى أي عمولة ولا تتحمل أي مسؤولية عن التوصية。 كيف تفتح حساب إعادة إدخال؟ هل من الأفضل تقديم في تايوان أو العملة الأجنبية؟ الطريقة الأسهل هي تقديم طلب مباشرة من خلال شركة وساطة تايوانية من خلال المعاملات التي يتم إعادة إدخالها ووضع الأموال في بنوك تايوان. في حالة وقوع حادث ، سيساعد مشغلي التايوانيين على التواصل. ما هي المعاملة المكررة؟ الاسم الرسمي للوساطة الفرعية هو "الثقة براندبوكبورج" بحيث لا يضطر المستثمرون إلى الطيران إلى الخارج لفتح حسابات الأوراق المالية من تلقاء نفسها ، ولكنهم يستخدمون شركات الأوراق المالية المحلية مع الأوراق المالية في الخارج لإعادة مؤهلات لفتح "حساب براند براندس" ثم استخدام هذا الحساب لشراء وبيع الأسهم الأجنبية. بعد استلام أمر المهلة ، يضع الوسطاء المحليون أمرًا مع الوسطاء الأجانب. نظرًا لأن أمر التوصيل قد تم تنفيذه مرتين من قبل الوسطاء المحليين والأجانب ، فإنه يطلق عليه "إعادة الدخول". كيف تفتح حساب إعادة إدخال؟ أي نوع من المستثمرين مناسب؟ يمكن للمستثمرين التايوانيين فتح حساب إعادة إدخاله مباشرة من خلال الوسطاء. إذا كان المستثمرون الذين لديهم بالفعل حساب تايوان للأوراق المالية في البورصة ، فيمكن لمعظمهم إضافة حساب إعادة إدخاله مباشرة على منصة الوساطة. تدعم الروايات التي يعيد إدخالها للوسطاء التايوانيين عمومًا الولايات المتحدة واليابان وهونغ كونغ وشنغهاي هونغ كونغ كونيك وسهم شنتشن هونغ كونغ. يمكن للمستثمرين الاستثمار في العديد من الأسواق الخارجية دون فتح حساب واحد تلو الآخر. ومع ذلك ، فإن إعادة الدخول ستتحمل رسومًا من طبقتين ، بما في ذلك رسوم التعامل مع الوسطاء التايوانيين والتبادلات الخارجية ، ومعظم الوسطاء لديهم "رسوم معالجة الحد الأدنى" ، لذلك يوصى بالتجارة بكميات صغيرة وفي كثير من الأحيان. هناك اختلاف آخر من بورصة تايوان في تايوان هو أن المعاملة المكتسبة تعتمد على نظام الإيداع ، ويجب على المستثمرين التأكد من وجود دفع كافٍ لتوصيل (سعر المعاملات بالإضافة إلى رسوم المعالجة والرسوم المتنوعة المختلفة) في حساب التسليم المتفق عليه قبل أن يتمكنوا من تقديم الطلبات. هل يجب أن أختار تقديم الدولار التايواني أو العملة الأجنبية؟ بالنسبة لحسابات التسليم المتوقعة ، يمكنك اختيار حساب العملة الأجنبية أو حساب دولار تايوان. إذا كنت مستثمرًا لا يتداول بشكل متكرر ، يوصي المؤلف باستخدام حساب دولار تايوان للتداول

أولاً ، والذي يمكنه إلغاء صرف العملات الأجنبية بنفسك ، ويجب عليك أولاً حساب عملية رسوم المناولة ؛ ولكن إذا كنت مستثمرًا سيتداول في الأسهم الأمريكية أو أسواق الأسهم في بلدان أخرى ، فيمكنك أولاً تبادل صرف العملات الأجنبية عندما يكون سعر الصرف منخفضًا ، مما قد يوفر بعض الرسوم على فرق التبادل. هل يجب أن أختار وسيطًا في الخارج أو حسابًا متاحًا؟ قام المؤلف بتجميع جدول مقارنة لشركات الأوراق المالية الخارجية وشركات إعادة إدخالها في الولايات المتحدة على النحو التالي. بالنسبة لحساب اللجنة الخامسة في كاثي باسيفيك التي أستخدمها بشكل أكثر شيوعًا ، من خلال تطبيق الأوراق المالية الخاصة بها ، تتقاضى الأسهم الأمريكية فقط رسوم المعاملات البالغة 0.1 ٪ ، ولا يوجد حد أدنى لحد العتبة. هناك العديد من أنواع الأسهم المدعومة ، ويمكن تداول أي أسهم معروضة في النظام. على العكس من ذلك ، فإن FirstTrade في الولايات المتحدة للأسهم لديه قيود على أسهم Penny مع ضعف السيولة وسعر الأسهم أقل من 5 دولارات أمريكية. لا يمكن رؤية العديد من مخزونات التشفير وتناولها. ومع ذلك ، فإن إعادة الدخول عادة لا تدعم الطلبات طويلة الأجل (مثل FirstTrade لديها أوامر GTC ، والتي يمكن أن تستمر ما يصل إلى 90 يومًا من الصلاحية) ، ويحتاج المستثمرون إلى إعادة الدخول مرة أخرى كل يوم ، ولا تدعم إعادة الدخول معاملات ما قبل السوق وما بعد السوق. التدريس العملي لعملية فتح الحساب ، مع حساب كاثي شيهافو في حساب إذا كان لدى المستثمر بالفعل حساب تايوان للأوراق المالية ، فيمكنه أن ينقر مباشرة على تطبيق الطلب لفتح حساب إعادة إدخاله عبر الإنترنت. إذا لم يكن الأمر كذلك ، فيمكنها أو هي فتح حساب الأوراق المالية عبر الإنترنت في البنك الذي تستخدمه غالبًا. خذ كاثي وورلد هواوي كمثال. طالما تم استيفاء الشروط التالية ، يمكن إكمال جميع الإجراءات في نفس اليوم بعد الاختبار الفعلي للمؤلف. الأشخاص الطبيعيون الذين تزيد أعمارهم عن 18 عامًا في هذا البلد وليس لديهم "شخص ضريبي أمريكي" أو جنسية متعددة أو "إعلان حارس أو مساعد" احمل حسابًا معيشًا في البنك الدولي في كاثاي في تايوان ، واحتفظ برقم هاتف محمول ساري المفعول في البنك بعد إدخال تطبيق Cathay Pacific Shihua Cube ، انقر فوق "الاستثمار" و "START SERVICE DOCER SERVICE" ، وإعداد بطاقة الهوية الخاصة بك والشهادة الثانية (ثلاثة خيارات لبطاقة التأمين الصحي ورخصة القيادة وجواز السفر). اتبع الخطوات خطوة بخطوة لإكمال فتح الحساب عبر الإنترنت. ثم قم بإيداع الأموال والأسهم التجارية في أسواق متعددة بما في ذلك الولايات المتحدة واليابان وهونغ كونغ والبر الرئيسي للصين! تحذير المخاطراستثمارات العملة المشفرة محفوفة بالمخاطر للغاية ، وقد تتقلب أسعارها بشكل كبير وقد تفقد كل مديرك. يرجى تقييم المخاطر بحذر.

First Trade | AUD/USD Price Movements | Golden Cross Formation

As the first trade commences, the AUD/USD currency pair is under close observation for its price movements. Traders are particularly interested in the recent Golden Cross formation that occurred on the pair's chart. The Golden Cross is a technical indicator where the 50-day moving average crosses above the 200-day moving average, signaling a potential bullish trend reversal. This occurrence is viewed as a strong buy signal by some traders, as it indicates that the short-term price momentum may be gaining strength over the long-term trend. Market participants are closely analyzing the AUD/USD pair's price action and monitoring key support and resistance levels to make informed trading decisions. As the trading session progresses, the impact of the Golden Cross formation on the pair's price movements will be closely monitored.

Online Discount Stock Broker Review

This weekend Barrons has the annual issue out which reviews the online/discount brokers. While it does a good job overall, I think it misses some specific aspects of brokers that new investors are looking for.

This time last year I was looking for a stockbroker and found it a bit confusing as to which one might be best for me. As a new investor what I craved most of all was access to information and research. And I wanted it in a cost effective manner.

So I did a bit of reading and came up with a list of stockbrokers that might appeal to new investors who are looking for professional research for the least amount of money. In fact, what I found is that it is pretty easy and essentially free to get research services that others might pay several hundreds of dollars to receive.

For those who already are happy with their broker it is easy to access these brokers in a manner that does not require moving your current account. Moreover, the list may appeal to the more active trader who has an account at one of the brokers that start at only a $1-2 per trade (MB Trading and Interactive Brokers). The active trader gains access to research not available with their primary stockbroker who was selected for different reasons.

I limited my research to online stock brokers who do not charge any fees for account activity or any fee to maintain an IRA. Why? Because most new investors either do not trade actively and/or opening an IRA will be the way they begin to invest. Also, because these accounts may be secondary accounts holding down costs is important. Moreover, I wanted this list to be relevant for the more experienced investor who is looking to access different research sources without having to commit large amounts of capital to a secondary account and worry about maintaining a certain level of activity. Furthermore, I only included brokers that actually offered some type of third party research for no additional charge to account holders.

This only left eight online or discount stock brokers out of over 50 that I checked. I ranked them based on 1. amount of research offered; 2. trade cost; and 3. minimum amount to open. Here is what I found.

Coming in at No. 8 is Accutrade. Stock Trades are $29.95. Minimum to open is $2,000. Research includes Institutional Shareholder Services, S&P Stock Reports, and Bob Gabele's Insider Trading Watch.

Pros: No account fees Cons: $29.95 for a trade; $2,000 to open; $29.95 for a trade; limited research; $29.95 for a trade

Bottom Line: Did I mention $29.95 for a trade? That alone stops me. Throw in the $2,000 minimum to open, limited research, and the lackluster website and I am no way Jose on this one.

Tied at No. 6-7 is Scottrade. Scottrade offers $7.00 stock trades. $500.00 minimum to open with no account fees. Research includes: S&P Reports and Thomson Financial.

Pros: $7.00 trades; many local office locations; no account fees Cons: $500.00 to open and limited research

Bottom Line: If you want/need to be able to walk in and talk to your broker than Scotttrade is for you, as it has many physical branches nationwide. $7.00 trades are a plus but limited research holds me back.

Tied at No. 6-7 is Firstrade. Firsttrade offers $6.95 stock trades. No minimum to open and no account activity or IRA fee. S&P Reports are offered.

Pros: $6.95 stock trades, no minimum to open; no account fee Cons: Only offers S&P reports

Bottom Line: Good pricing on stock trades at $6.95 and no minimum to open get it tied with Scottrade, but very limited research makes it a no go in my book.

No. 4-5 is E*Trade. Etrade offers $12.99 stock trades. The available research includes Reuters Research, S&P Reports, Rochdale Research, Sabrient Systems, Wall Street On Demand, Thomson Financial, and Bank of New York’s Jaywalk Research Reports. For those with large accounts ($100,000+) Credit Suisse Research is also available. You can find the whole list here.

Pros: Wide offering of research providers; no fee IRA accounts Cons: $12.95 stock trades; $1,000 minimum to open; non-IRA accounts must make at least one trade per quarter or are assessed $40 account charge

Bottom Line: At first glance looks inviting based on the amount of research available, but the $40 account charge on non-IRA accounts and $1,000 minimum to open puts me off. $12.95 for trades is also a negative. Objectively it could be higher, but hey it is my list and I just get the feeling that it is more of a bank with a lot of little fees here and there.

Tied No. 4-5. is Optionsxpress. Optionsxpress offers stock trades for $14.95 with no minimums to open and no account fees. Optionxpress provides free access to Morningstar stock reports.

Pros: Morningstar research; good tools for option traders; no minimum to open, no fees on any account Cons: Stock trades are $14.95; only offers Morningstar stock research

Bottom Line: No hidden fees at all is a big plus as is no minimum to open, but $14.95 for stock trades is a negative (if the trade cost was under $10 I would have put them at No. 3). While it is limited in research to Morningstar Stock Reports it is the only broker to offer access to Morningstar so that gives it a slight edge to E*Trade in my book. Note: For those interested in Health Savings Accounts (HSA) Optionsxpress is one of the very few ways you can actually set up an HSA account and trade normally.

No. 3 is Muriel Seibert. Trades are $14.95. No minimum to open and no account fee except on IRA’s less than $10,000 ($30 per year). Seibert offers the following research: Standard & Poor's Reports, Zacks Research, Reuter’s Multex, ProphetFinance, Validea, MarketEdge®, VectorVest®, Growth Stock Analytics, Lehman Brothers, and Thomson Baseline.

Pros: No minimum to open, wide variety of research Cons: $14.95 to trade, $30 a year on IRAs less than $10,000

Bottom Line: Good selection of research. $14.95 to trade is a negative as is the $30 per year charge on a IRA. But it offers a wide variety of research with a couple of unique products not offered elsewhere. If there is some specific research provided which is something you are looking for than this may be the choice for you. It gets the nod over E*Trade based on no minimum to open and over Optionsxpress based on the amount of research. If Seibert cut its trade cost and got rid of the $30 IRA account fee it could challenge for the top two spots.

No. 2 is Fidelity. Fidelity has stock trades for $19.95. There is a $2,500 minimum to open but no account fees. Research is extensive: Argus Research, Ativo Research, LLC, Channel Trend, Columbine Capital Services, Decision Economics, Ford Equity Research, Lehman Brothers, Market Edge, Ned Davis Research , Prudential Equity Group, Standard & Poor's Reports and Outlook, Thomas White International, Thomson Financial, and Zacks Research .

Pros: Lots of Research, No account fees, local branches Cons: Trades are $19.95, $2,500 minimum to open

Bottom Line: While the trade price is high at $19.95, the amount of available research makes Fidelity one to consider. Also, many investors might have a 401(k) here and that may make it easier to keep everything in one spot. The trade cost and large minimum to open kept it out of first place.

The No 1 pick is TDAmeritrade. Stock trades are $9.99. Minimum to open is $1,000 for IRA accounts and $2,000 non-IRA. Research includes : S&P Reports and Outlook, Vickers Stock Research, Thomson’s First Call, The Street.com Ratings, Ford Equity Research, and Thomson’s Market Edge.

Pros: $9.99 stock trades, lots of research, no account fees Cons: $1,000/$2,000 minimum to open

Bottom Line: TDAmeritrade offers good selection of research and a low trade price. While the minimum to open is a drawback, overall I would say TDAmeritrade deserves consideration and gets a slight nod over Fidelity based on the trade cost.

In the end I like Fidelity for the selection of research and if I based it solely on that I would say that it would be No. 1. But TDAmeritrade is no slouch in research and offers a trade cost half as much as Fidelity’s so it gets the nod as No. 1, but just barely.

Overall, any one of these brokers is a good deal, and my 1-5 are all solid choices. While I have ranked them as a means of separating them relative to each other, they all provide more value than they ask for. That is because anyone of the brokers is offering several hundred dollars worth of research just to open an account, in some cases with no minimum, and at no annual cost. Pretty good bargain for any investor.

First Trade | Potential UPSIDE in Natural Gas Market | Short-Term Outlook

As the natural gas market opens for the first trade, traders are eyeing potential UPSIDE opportunities in the short-term outlook. Recent market analysis indicates an increase in demand for natural gas due to extreme weather conditions in certain regions, leading to higher consumption for cooling and electricity generation purposes. This surge in demand has driven up prices and created a bullish sentiment in the market. Additionally, supply constraints and disruptions in production have further supported the upward momentum. Traders are closely monitoring weather forecasts, production levels, and inventory data to gauge the short-term direction of the natural gas market. As uncertainty persists, they are prepared to act swiftly and capitalize on potential price movements.
