The average lifespan of cryptoscams is declining year on year, with the figure dropping to 42 days in 2024 (down from 271 days in 2020) As Chainalysis notes, instead of long-term support of cryptocurrency pyramid schemes and Ponzi schemes, scammers now prefer ‘pig butchering’ (where the victim is gradually ‘fattened up’, let them earn a little money and ‘fatten up’ so that they can then be put to ‘slaughter’ for the full programme)

-Gold surges to new all-time high above $2,600, fueled by expectations of further Fed rate cuts. -Safe-haven demand spikes due to escalating tension between Israel and Hezbollah. -Fed Governor Waller backs 50 bps rate cut; however, dissenting Fed member Michelle Bowman prefers a smaller cut to guard against declaring an early win on inflation. Gold prices climbed past $2,600, recording new all-time highs amid increasing speculation that the Federal Reserve (Fed) will continue to lower borrowing costs and heightened tensions between Israel and Hezbollah in the Middle East. The XAU/USD trades at $2,621, up 1.37%. Risk aversion is the game's name, which is portrayed by Wall Street’s three leading indices all posting losses between 0.26% and 0.31%. Fed Governor Christopher Waller stated that cutting 50 basis points was appropriate, citing expectations that the August Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index would be very low. Waller added that inflation is softening more rapidly than anticipated, which is concerning to him. He also noted that the Fed could take further action if the labor market deteriorates or inflation data soften quickly. Meanwhile, correlations are not playing a huge role as US Treasury yields rise with Gold prices and the Greenback. The US 10-year Treasury note yields 3.726%, up by one and a half basis points. The US Dollar Index (DXY), which tracks the American currency’s value against the other six, advanced some 0.08% to 100.71. A scarce economic schedule in the US left Gold’s direction on the shoulders of additional Fed speakers. Michelle Bowman dissented to a 50 bps cut. Although it was appropriate to adjust the policy, she preferred a smaller cut, as risks on the decision could be interpreted as a “declaration of victory on inflation.

It's finally here. After 12 years, 6 months, and 12 days on the market, Windows XP has hit its end of life. It will receive its last ever set of patches on Windows Update today (or "Woo" as Microsoft remarkably pronounces it internally), and for the most part, that will be that. Any flaws discovered from now on—and it's inevitable that some will be discovered—will never be publicly patched. How bad is this going to be? It's probably going to be pretty bad. By some measures, about 28 percent of the Web-using public is still using Windows XP, and these systems are going to be ripe for exploitation. While we can hope that personal firewalls and NAT systems will prevent any kind of Code Red or Nimda-style self-propagating worm from infecting these systems, exploitation through the likes of malicious e-mail attachments, Office documents, USB keys, and browsers is inevitable. In fact, some lesser-publicized support changes are likely to exacerbate the situation. Office 2003, released October 21, 2003, is also having its support ended today. And although Internet Explorer 7 and 8 were both released after Windows XP—and will continue to be supported on Windows Vista and Windows 7—they too are no longer supported on Windows XP and will no longer get patches

They can see if the order was submitted via an EA, as part of the order message sent to the server includes both an EA number and order "comments" (which a lot of EAs use.) That doesn't mean they know the specific EA you're using, just that it's an EA submitting or modifying the order. To detect nasty EAs they don't want running on their feed, a broker will go a step further and match the execution patterns of your account against known profiles of bad EAs. An example of this would be latency arbitrage.. so seeing an EA submit and then close orders with an average hold time of just a second or two, with a hit rate north of 90%, would probably trigger a red flag and call the account up for review. (In this case, if the broker is A-booking your orders, they don't actually care that you're making money, they just care about protecting their relationship with their liquidity providers.. or if the broker is B-booking, then they care about losing money.)

The EUR/USD finished the week with a robust move higher as bullish behavioral sentiment in financial institutions was confirmed, and now data evidence this coming week will be examined for additional clues. -The EUR/USD exchange rate went into the weekend near the 1.11620 mark and did touch a high around 1.11900 on Wednesday – followed by the low for the week within a handful of hours near 1.10690 – only to spark more upwards action. -The ability of the EUR/USD to sustain its higher realms late last week and not suffer any major reversals lower after Wednesday’s volatility is a solid signal. The U.S Fed’s aggressive rate cut on Wednesday of 0.50% caught some off guard. The U.S central bank without saying it did essentially admit they should have cut interest rates in late July, and having failed to do so, were put in a place that made the larger Federal Funds Rate cut necessary. Financial institutions which have been pricing in a solid round of interest rate cuts from the Fed had their sentiment confirmed. Although the road going forward is not crystal clear, the ECB is likely now going to be freer to also be more dovish. Betting Blindly on Upside in the EUR/USD Should Not be Done Speculators need to understand a lot of the price action regarding the Fed’s interest rate cut last week was already priced into the market. The EUR/USD has correlated to the broad Forex dynamics, but the currency pair actually remains below highs that were achieved in last August of this year when the 1.12000 realm was tested. The U.S will be releasing important Gross Domestic Product numbers this coming Thursday which will affect the EUR/USD. Jerome Powell sounded positive regarding the U.S economy, but jobs numbers and growth are still in question. Inflation while eroding is still higher than wanted. The U.S will probably cut it Federal Funds Rate again in November – this time by 0.25%, but U.S economic data will have to confirm this is possible. Intriguingly the November FOMC announcement will come after the U.S election has finished a couple of days earlier. The ECB has their next rate announcement on the 17th of October. Short-term traders may ask why this is important, the answer is because behavioral sentiment in financial institutions is looking ahead over the mid-term and affecting their daily decisions.

Cryptocurrency mining requires significant hardware investments and energy consumption, but offers potentially lucrative rewards. In contrast, staking is a more accessible and eco-friendly alternative, where rewards are proportional to the quantity and duration of staked coins. Ultimately, the choice between mining and staking depends on an individual's financial resources, investment goals, and tolerance for risk.

I am seriously wondering about anything at this time now... I've read on so much hatred towards Michael J Huddleston and his ICT stuff. I have started on it but not really sure if I should continue due to what everyone is saying. Not only that but if he can't turn a profit then why should I study his method? Other than his method I have learned a method from Steve Mauro if you all have ever heard of Beat The Market Maker or BTMM . Other than that I have nothing, I am seriously starting to question Forex as an even option to making money. If I could get some feedback I would highly appreciate it. Thank you so much.
