Does anybody know the BIL (SPDR Bloomberg 1-3 Month T-Bill ETF) equivalent with a GBP currency hedge? I want the interest yield but I don't want the currency risk.

Capital, win loss ratio. If you have a trading edge and you can consistently win 50% of your trades, so your winning 5 trades out of 10. So if your risking 1% of your capital per trade, out of your 10 trades 5 would be losers, so that’s 5% loss and realistically out of the 5 winning trades, some would make small profits, some break even and 1, 2 or 3 could run nicely IF you can let your profits run, basically your making money out of 2 trades out of the 10 trades (80/20 Rule Pareto principle) So a $20,000 acct risking 1% is $200 per trade, this will keep the trader with his trade risk based on being able to win 50% of his trades. A long term trend trader can win with 30% wining trade. Basically you need to know your numbers. Rgds Pete -

Investing in stocks can be a great way to grow your wealth over time. However, there are different approaches that investors can take when choosing which stocks to buy. Two of the most popular approaches are growth investing and value investing. Growth Investing Growth investing is an investment strategy that focuses on buying stocks of companies that are expected to grow at a faster rate than the overall market. These companies are often in industries that are growing quickly, such as technology or healthcare. Investors who use this approach believe that these companies will be able to generate higher profits in the future, which will lead to higher stock prices. One of the main advantages of growth investing is that it can potentially provide higher returns than the overall market. However, it is also riskier than other investment strategies, as these companies often have higher valuations and more volatile stock prices. Value Investing Value investing is an investment strategy that focuses on buying stocks of companies that are undervalued by the market. These companies may be in industries that are out of favour or have recently experienced challenges, but they have strong fundamentals and a history of profitability. Investors who use this approach believe that these companies are undervalued and that their true value will be recognized in the future, leading to higher stock prices. One of the main advantages of value investing is that it can potentially provide lower risk than growth investing. However, it may also provide lower returns in the long run, as these companies may not have the same growth potential as companies in the growth investing category. Comparing Growth and Value Investing Growth and value investing are two different approaches to stock investing, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Growth investing can potentially provide higher returns but is riskier, while value investing can provide lower risk but potentially lower returns. An investor may choose one approach or a combination of both. A portfolio that contains a mix of growth and value stocks can provide a balance of potential returns and risk. Conclusion Both growth investing and value investing can be effective ways to invest in stocks. The key is to understand the potential risks and rewards of each approach and to choose the one that aligns with your investment goals and risk tolerance. Analyst Peter Mathers TradingLounge™

Question
Guest steadyeddie
Hi I just started trading futures last week. Have been a long term share and property investor for years and thought I would give it a go as I wanted to import something from Turkey and wondered about a Lira spread. I made $600 and sold in 3 minutes and was hooked.
I tried another firm as I cannot work out how much leverage is on every trade with IG or how much a unit is worth.
Anyway I made $60,000 using that other firm on all sorts of spread using my own intuition. using theirs I lost $40000 so in effect I was up heaps.
However I suspect that they are much more expensive as when I either buy or sell. It is always a few grand or points outside what I placed. They say they do not charge anything. So they do, but it is hidden.
I m using both firms atm trying to compare the net results by placing the same trades. But cannot work out how to place equal trades. Like does any one know using IG what a trade of 5million is?
Today I have made $15,000 on AU/US in the morning and could have easily made more as I had a stop loss on an old trade that I had placed on an old pending.
Also this other firm seems difficult to retrieve my funds. It is not an instant transfer and Im am staring to get suss.
I also bought some bitcoin a few years back and am laughing now.
Anyway if any one knows the answers to my questions I would be very grateful
