Beyond defence: Stocks set to gain from Germany’s economic revolution
… The CDU/CSU and SPD-led coalition unveiled a €500 billion off-budget infrastructure fund—equivalent to 11.6% of GDP in 2024—to be deployed over the next ten years …
I called $$3000.40 gold from such a long time ago… Market touched it and gave it a heavy push beyond that price which has changed market dynamics for the short term.
An additional support to my recent argument of triple and triple is that it was harshly rejected from a slightly higher level above the one I posted,.. Which confirms my model points of the future. I have posted far off model points which have been hit to the pip each and every time for 2 decades, but this is the first time in 2 decades that I have derived future model points so far away that they are unbelievable even to me,…
I come across a lot of stocks very frequently which soar stratospherically but can’t post em’ because of the laws as don’t wanna cause a game stop like run… But my next call will be like a rugby throw into a basketball hoop at the other side of the city.

Gold Pushes Above US$3,000 for First Time as Trade Turmoil Spurs Safe-Haven Demand
Gold traded at a record high early on Friday, rising above US$3,000 for the first time, as falling stock markets and global economic turmoil spurred by U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade wars spur safe-haven buying.
Gold for April delivery was last seen up US$16.10 to US$3,007 per ounce, rising off Thursday’s record close of US$2,991.30.
The price of the metal has climbed 13% since the start of the year as investors turn to the metal as a store of value with global stock markets falling as Trump’s tariffs and threats upset international trade flows, while U.S. inflation eases, raising hopes the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates, lowering the carrying cost of owning gold.
“Gold continues to price uncertainty, specifically tariff uncertainty. While economic uncertainty is rising, vibes and sentiment are deteriorating, and recession probabilities have risen well above 30%, we still view gold’s price patterns as tied to tariffs. While inflation data showed prices rose at the slowest pace in four months (leading some to think the Fed can ease sooner), we are reminded that, when tariffs hit, there will likely be inflationary impacts,” Christopher Louney, a commodities strategist at RBC Capital Markets, wrote.
A weakening dollar also offered support to gold. The ICE dollar index was last seen down 0.13 points to 103.7.
Treasury yields were steady, with the yield on the U.S. two-year note last seen up 0.1 basis points to 3.981%, while the 10-year note was paying 4.313%, up 0.4 points.
The event risk seems to be a positive “peace” related hewdline one of these days
XAUUSD – Gold Daily
I mentioned this possibility last night:
There is one possibility – for Gold to hold above 2980.00 overnight and continue straight up tomorrow – high risk trade.
It held and Gold hit a new high today.
Support is still at 2980.00 , followed by : 2955.00 & 2940.00
Target is now at 3105.00
EURUSD 15 MINUTE – Symmetric range
Current range is around 13 pips either side of 1.09 (1.0887-1.0913) … should be some bids below the market by those caught out by the debt news spike BUT on the other side, as the chart shows, it hit a wall at 1.09126
Feels like one of those Fridays unless Trump throws us another tweetstorm comment.

What is Risk Management in Trading – Forex Forum
For any trader, managing risk is essential to success. But what exactly is risk management? In this blog post, we’ll explore what risk management is and how it can help you become a successful trader.
We’ll also look at some common mistakes that traders make when it comes to managing their risks. After all, if you’re not managing risk appropriately, you’re just a gambler. So if you’re ready to learn more about risk management, read on!
What is Risk Management in Trading?
Risk management is the process of assessing, controlling, and managing risk within a trading portfolio. This involves defining trading goals and understanding potential losses that could occur as part of the trading process.
It also includes identifying potential risks, such as market volatility or sudden changes in the market, understanding how these risks can affect your profits, and taking steps to limit potential losses.
In general, risk management should be a priority for all traders. By properly managing your risks and using effective strategies, you can minimize potential losses and increase the chances of making successful trades.
Common Mistakes When Managing Risk in Trading
Unfortunately, many traders make mistakes when it comes to managing their risks. Here are some of the most common mistakes that traders make when it comes to risk management:
Not Setting a Trading Plan:
Many traders don’t have a detailed trading plan, which is a key component of risk management. Without a trading plan, traders are more likely to take risks that could have otherwise been avoided. It’s important to establish clear trading goals and a plan for how to reach those goals.
Not Understanding Risk:
Many traders fail to understand the risks associated with certain trades, which can lead to serious losses if they don’t take the time to research and understand the risks involved. It’s important to have a thorough understanding of the markets you’re trading in before taking any risks.
Not Taking Advantage of Stop Losses:
Stop losses are an essential component of risk management, as they help to limit potential losses in the event of a market downturn or sudden changes in the market. However, many traders don’t take advantage of stop losses and end up taking larger risks than necessary.
Over-Trading:
Over-trading is a common mistake made by many traders. This involves taking too many trades, which can lead to losses if the market turns against you. Look, all traders love the price action. It’s exciting to take a position and watch your P/L go up and down. But don’t become addicted to the price action for the sake of just having a position. It’s important to only take trades when the setup is right and avoid over trading.
Not Diversifying Risk:
Diversification is another important part of risk management. By diversifying your trades, you can spread out risk and limit potential losses if the market turns against you.
Risk management is a critical factor in success when trading in the markets. It involves understanding and controlling what could potentially impact your trades and actively analyzing scenarios that may occur.
Without proper risk management, traders are leaving themselves vulnerable to potential losses which could be catastrophic for their investments.
Good risk management also allows traders to effectively assess opportunities and make better decisions that take into account volatility or leading indicators of future market performance.
Simply put, risk management can provide peace of mind so traders can enjoy the highs of profitable investments while minimizing losses when markets start to dip.
Common risk management strategies used by traders include setting stop-loss orders, limiting capital exposure, and diversifying investments to minimize volatility.
Another essential approach for traders is to set predetermined targets for both profits and losses to help stabilize your exposure. To further limit potential losses and maximize gains, traders should always be aware of economic news and other world events that might affect the market.
Implementing effective risk management into your trading plan is incredibly important for successful and profitable trading. It can help you to control the amount of draws you take in any given trade, and it can also protect against large losses which could potentially wipe out your entire trading account.
A good risk management plan should include determining the amount of capital at risk on each trade, setting predetermined stop-losses to limit downside exposure, and having a strict, disciplined approach towards minimizing losses:
never increasing position size
never risking more than you are comfortable with, and always controlling potential risk-reward ratios.
Taking the time to set up a comprehensive yet flexible risk management plan will put you in a better position when it comes to positive returns in the long run.
Risk management is an important part of trading. It allows you to trade with less stress and more confidence. There are many different risk management strategies, so it is important to find one that fits your trading style.
Proper risk management can help you make money in the long run by preserving your capital and preventing you from making careless mistakes.
