oh dear, never mind ...

 

Nobody cares, Tom.  People come here to learn about trading.  The vast majority of people who come here would love to see examples of others who have managed to overcome difficulties and 'trade successfully, consistently'.  Have you ever been able to do this?

'London to Enter Tier 2 Friday Midnight'.

The rules in full:

  • People must not meet with anybody outside their household or support bubble in any indoor setting, whether at home or in a public place
  • All businesses and venues can continue to operate, in a Covid-secure manner, other than those that remain closed in law, such as nightclubs and adult entertainment venues
  • Certain businesses selling food or drink on their premises are required to close between 10pm and 5am. Businesses and venues selling food for consumption off the premises can continue to do so after 10pm as long as this is through delivery service, click-and-collect or drive-thru
  • Schools, universities and places of worship remain open
  • Weddings and funerals can go ahead with restrictions on the number of attendees
  • Organised indoor sport and exercise classes can continue to take place, provided the Rule of Six is followed
  • The “Rule of Six” will continue to apply outdoors and in private gardens
  • People should aim to reduce the number of journeys they make where possible. If they need to travel, they should walk or cycle where possible, or to plan ahead and avoid busy times and routes on public transport

'WHO says Europe's coronavirus second wave 'raises great concern' but is NOT as bad as April's peak because despite daily cases tripling, deaths are 80% LOWER'

Oh, so the new wave of lockdowns is because of the normal Autumn uptick in corona virus cases then?

!!! ICUs close to full capacity!!! ...

BUT ...

ICU's are supposed to be at 85% capacity at this time of year ...

Data reveals city's ICU units are 85% full most years as winter approaches.

and all because these clowns can't admit they made a monumental mistake.

“Is not now the time to announce a date... by when every single person in the population will be tested every week?” asks Tory MP Jeremy Hunt Health Secretary Matt Hancock says he hopes to expand testing capacity

"The UK govts have no ‘exit strategy’ from the Coronavirus restrictions & recurrent lockdowns because there isn’t meant to be an exit strategy. The ‘New Normal’ is meant to be permanent. Johnson couldn’t have been plainer about this in his ‘Great Reset’ Tory conference speech."

Neil Clark  @NeilClark66

So this is the new normal but it gets better, has anyone seen Flu lately?

CDC 'Flu cases down 95%'

Every Cold and Flu is now Covid. And this 'new normal' will last until we 'beat' Covid.

We are being pushed into a do or die fight to end Flu, we are destroying the economy and the social fabric to try to wipe out, in a few short months, a virus that's been around hundreds of millions of years before humans ever walked the earth.

Now that's insane.

Or, as the Remnant video above suggests is it all a play to force you to accept the 'Great Reset' now and hand over total control to the Global socialist elites?

The data shows the Covid virus is no worse than common Flu, the data out of Asian counties showed that back in January and has been repeated in western counties since. This corona virus strain has been deliberately politicised and weaponised to force dramatic and sudden social change chief of which is a massive erosion of civil rights and liberties.

WHAT HAVE THE GLOBALISTS BEEN DOING TO YOU NOW, TOM?

Do tell us.  We all want to hear it, that's why we came to a trading forum after all.

I'm really sorry you haven't been consistently profitable for over four years.  Those darn globalists, Tom.  Those darn globalists 😢

This is a very good article explaining the what Covid-19 actually is and how we can fight it:

Although the virus behind covid-19 is less deadly than the one that causes SARS in a given single case, that does not mean that it is less dangerous on the whole. On the contrary, it harms many more people. To understand why, consider two pathogens. Imagine that for every 1,000 people, the first pathogen makes 20 seriously ill and kills two. The case fatality rate is 10%.

Now imagine a second pathogen that again makes 20 seriously ill and kills two for every 1,000 people, but also infects a further 180 people making them mildly or moderately ill, but not killing them. Perhaps some of them are left seriously disabled, too. But the case fatality rate gets calculated as two deaths out of 200, for a mere 1%. The second disease seems much milder. In reality it is far worse: no one would prefer to be in a group facing the second pathogen rather than the first—with ten times as many people infected.

The second situation partly characterises the current pandemic. Covid-19 encompasses a range of severity and a variety of symptoms (affecting not just our respiratory system, but also our gastrointestinal and neurological systems in some cases). Perhaps half of those infected are asymptomatic. Some who fall ill indeed suffer serious long-term health problems. But because, for many, the symptoms resemble a mild cold, there is a tendency for the public and politicians to take it less seriously. Thus, its protean nature makes controlling it harder.

    • Hi @KoketsoIG, Thanks for investigating margin requirements in another thread. Could you kindly check what overnight credit (column swap bid in platform watchlists) was applied for short USD/TRY positions at the end of the trading day on Thu, March 14? WBR
    • Corn Elliott wave analysis   Function - Trend  Mode - Impulsive  Structure - Impulse Wave  Position - Wave 2 in progress Direction - Upwards for wave 3 Details -  A break below 434 means wave 2 is taking a lower leg for an expanding flat and could enter 423-415. Not much has changed since the last update.   In the intricate world of commodities trading, particularly in the realm of corn prices, the Elliott wave theory offers a compelling lens through which we can analyze recent movements and anticipate future trends. As of the time of crafting this analysis, corn prices have embarked on a retracement journey following a notable surge of over 12% witnessed between the dates of 26 February 2024 and 12 March 2024. Presently hovering below the $430 mark, indications suggest a continuation of this pullback trajectory, potentially dipping below the $420 threshold. However, amidst this temporary setback, glimmers of optimism emerge from the shadows, hinting at a forthcoming resurgence echoing the momentum initiated on 26 February, when prices bottomed out at $394.   To fully grasp the potential trajectory of corn prices, let's delve into the historical context provided by the Elliott wave theory. In April 2022, corn traded at a robust $814, albeit falling slightly shy of its peak in 2012 at $846. From this pinnacle, the price embarked on a tumultuous descent, plummeting to $394—a staggering 52% decline within approximately 22 months. Within this tumultuous period, the market completed three distinct swings, painting a picture of either an impulse or a simple A-B-C pattern.   Should the former scenario hold, the completion of the third wave suggest a forthcoming minor bullish correction, potentially manifesting as the fourth wave. Conversely, in the latter scenario, a bullish correction remains probable, if not an outright impulse upside. In either case, the prevailing sentiment leans towards a bullish reaction, with the path of least resistance indicating at least a three-wave bounce. This sentiment gains traction with the inception of sub-waves within the broader blue wave A, emanating from the $394 low.   Zooming into the H4 timeframe, we discern the intricate dance of waves unfolding before our eyes. The completion of wave 1 within the blue A wave sets the stage for the ongoing progression of wave 2, poised to carve its path within the 424-413 zone before pivoting upwards for wave 3. Uncertainties loom, as we await confirmation of wave 3's commencement, signaled by the breach of the $445 pinnacle.   In this tapestry of market dynamics, opportunities abound for astute traders poised to capitalize on the unfolding patterns. With the potential for blue wave A to ascend to lofty heights of $500, buying the dips will be the way to go. As we navigate the ebbs and flows of corn prices through the lens of Elliott wave analysis, we stand primed to seize the opportunities that lie ahead, armed with insights gleaned from a meticulous examination of market dynamics.     Technical Analyst : Sanmi Adeagbo Source : Tradinglounge.com
