My advice would be to dive in and actually trade with real money and in a live setting.  Since you have already watched videos and I assume have read some books then the next step is to learn through experience.  Why not start from a small amount and start trading with that.  You'll soon find out that actual trading is different from looking at the markets.

Now onward to Factom...

FCT/BTC:  A Dead Cat Bounce?



So I just read the news on Coindesk that Factom got 4.2 million USD in series A funding that was lead by none other than Tim Draper:  http://www.coindesk.com/factom-blockchain-series-a-4-2-million/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+CoinDesk+%28CoinDesk+-+The+Voice+of+Digital+Currency%29

So the FCT market got crazy and there's buying everywhere giving the shorts a little cringe on why this is happening now.  But the real question is, "Is this a dead cat bounce or is it the start of a reversal?"  In my experience this usually means a DCB.  These movements are normal in trading markets and nothing ever traded in an exchange goes down or up in a straight line.  FCT still is ok for now if you are shorting it but always keep in mind to protect yourself and set a stop loss and be ready to cover you shorts.

I don't think he said anything of that sort unless I'm mistaken.  Before the beginning of the season Mourinho has explicitly said he wants to win at United.  Be it the Europa League, FA Cup, the League Cup or the EPL, he expressed his desire to win it all at United.  So maybe Mourinho said something like it but it doesn't mean he shares the same idea for United.

Drama.  There was an article somewhere (I'll look for the link) that said Dana White has declared that McGregor's FW belt will have to be vacated or he'll be forced to do so if he wins the LW championship.  If this is true what would this mean for Aldo?  Will he become FW champ automatically?  That would create a more interesting scenario for the feather weight division because McGregor will surely come after him.

And Aldo saying "not even McGregor would bring him back" is BS.  Of course it will bring him back.  McGregor is the money fight, everyone would love to take a shot at him.  Keep in mind that most of these fighters are always close to being broke except for McGregor and recently Nate Diaz.  I'm sure there's a few others.

Edit:  Here's the link to the said article:  http://www.bjpenn.com/mma-news/conor-mcgregor/conor-mcgregor-surrender-one-belt-wins-ufc-205/

Your statement in bold is highly arguable,  Man United has a squad that could be seen as strong as Liverpool and maybe even stronger.  The problem is they have been under performing yet again this season even with an elite manager running the team.  Imagine if Man United were performing as well as they could.  That would be so good to watch week in and week out. 

For sure.  Henderson is fighting for his legacy, this is not like the other fights where he just cashes his check.  I would expect that in paper Bisping has the edge but when that fight begins I think it will be a different story.  Henderson wants this more than Bisping does.  And Bisping could still have his doubts vs Henderson despite what he says regarding his confidence coming in this fight.

Thanks for sharing your chart and analysis.  I made a small buy in XRP after seeing it and I made other lower bids in case I could get in cheaper. 

Keep the charts and analysis coming.  It would be nice to have more people post their thought process so that we could learn from each other.


Yup the market makers don't really care at what direction the market goes as they can make some profit either way.  The whales, the pumpers and the insiders are the ones to look out for but the problem is how.

But he's already out of Man United as far as I know and is working in a TV network as a pundit.  So why not go into management for another club who's struggling and practice his theories and try to perfect his methods.  And then help them get back in form so they can try to finish in the top 10.

It would surely be better for him to be in management than be a pundit.

Hey guys here's a couple of videos to start making us excited for the event!  I'm really looking forward on watching Hendo and Bisping fight again.  Although I think this will be a close fight, I have a feeling that Hendo could get one lucky hit...  again.

Thanks for the payment. 

Francesco Guidolin has been given the sack at Swansea and is replaced by Bob Bradley.  I had to look Bradley up online as I had no idea who he is.  I was kinda hoping that Ryan Giggs would manage Swansea.  He might show everyone that he could do a decent job in managing Man United in the future.

I would love to see Pascal Wehrlein to Williams and let's see what he can do with their car.  I'm guessing he could enter Q3 consistently every week.  

It will take a while before he can get a drive in Mercedes as we can see that either Rosberg and Hamilton aren't planning to retire or leave the team just yet.  So Wehrlein will have to wait for around 3 - 4 years.  It would be better for him to get a drive in better teams than Manor.

I know I might regret this but I'm staying away from XRP after having two small losses when I traded it in the past couple of months.  It's too swingy for my taste and I would wait for it to settle before going back in, if I get back that is.

Yeah, McGregor will ring him like a bell for sure.  And Alvarez knows this so I wonder what strategy he'll be using in this fight.  If he's thinking of backing out vs Connor then he's just playing into Connor's strategy which is to press and bully fighters to the fence.  I can see this fight going under 2.5 rounds and Connor winning via TKO/KO.

Yeah...  You have to give it to the Spurs.  They pressed really well and from watching the game you could see that Wanyama made all the difference for them in the midfield.  He kept winning the ball back for his squad.  I fancy he could be as good as Kante this year.  I guess we'll have to see.

Really?  He said that?  Can you please post where you got the quote from because as far as I know all European clubs want to win UEFA championships because that means more money for the club.  And as far as United is concerned their squad is deep and they have the quality to win the Europa League and the EPL.  But as what the reason is for their under-performance is anybody's guess.  They have no excuse to be doing this bad, both manager and players.

Yeah it would be a bad decision to not try winning the Europa league considering they a have a squad deep enough to win all competitions they are in this year.  And I don't think Mourinho is not serious about the Europa League as that guy wants to win all the time.  It's not in his bones to back down and he always finds ways to winning.  To prove my point, watch United spend on transfers this winter. 

Yeah, good for Ricciardo winning the race.  He's one of my favorite drivers out there.  And the race between the two Red Bulls was a little bit entertaining.  Too bad Hamilton's engine went on fire.  It would have been nice to see him gain more points for the driver's championship and seeing Rosberg cringe and whine again would be priceless. 

Lol did you even watch the game or are you just trolling the thread?  Both clubs played superbly and as a City fan I wouldn't be too sad to see them lose.  A much deserved win by the Spurs.  Good game.

There were a lot of surprises in the matches this week and I can see that a lot of people lost their bets.  I think Man United played really well and should have won that game although I had a feeling that it will be a low scoring game.  It shouldn't have.  That game would have been 3 - 1 or 4 - 1.

Spurs and City played well vs each other so I wouldn't be too surprised if either club won.  Leicester is where it should be, if the top clubs were performing well last year the best LCFC can be is maybe in the third or the 4th spot.

That second half though...  Makes you wonder what Conte did to them in the locker room.  

Nice display by Chelsea after half time.  I also just watched the replay of the Liverpool vs Swansea match.  Did you see Sadio Mane celebrating with Firmino?  It was funny.
