Bitcoin to $10,000 while Hedge Funds Flow In

Bitcoin reached prices close to $10,000 in anticipation of more regulated derivative product launches like the CME, the influx of institutional capital is at an all time high and OTC dealers should be running dry. Now where will this rally end? $10,000 has been a heavy promoted number by the larger players, usually this means their distribution is around those prices and possibly calling the target makes them credible in the future.

It's the first experience for young traders of the real world. Lies, emotions and wolves everywhere. To make money in any market, there's two exchanges that take place, your entry and your exit, the differenc

It is no surprise that a lot of gambling and trading rules are the same and for good reason. Predicting a market is hard, the lower your trading time-frame is the higher the risk of quick draw-downs. Mistakes can come in any form, it can simply be not paying attention, pressing the wrong button or just simply making the wrong judgement. The first mistake is not limiting your size per position, leaving a large part or all of your capital exposed to a single price prediction that could end up against you for some of the reasons stated earlier. A simple question to ask yourself is, do you expect yourself to be accurate 100% of the time and I doubt there is any trader that will answer yes, so diversifying across at least a few uncorrelated positions high and low risk should be a fundamental part of your strategy.
