Long-form, practical writing on gold and forex trading — sessions, risk arithmetic, news releases, algorithmic trading and the parts of the retail industry that are rarely spelled out. No signals, no hype, and no broker links inside the articles.
Every article here is original work written by me from my own trading and development experience. Where an article gives a number — a contract size, a session time, a withholding rate — it is stated so you can check it against your own broker or platform rather than take my word for it. If you find something wrong, tell me and I will correct it.
