How Mood Influences Your TradingMarcel Proust once said:“A change in the weather is sufficient to recreate the world and ourselves.”But if Proust were to go one step further, he’d say that mood is sufficient to recreate the world and ourselves. After all, our mood is strongly linked with what the weather outside is like.Based on our experience as humans, we know all too well that mood can “recreate the world and ourselves”, impacting our thoughts, judgments, and perceptions.For instance, if you’re in a bad mood, you’ll be more pessimistic in your judgment and decision making (Wright and Bower 1992).On the flip side, if you’re in a good mood, you’ll be more optimistic in your judgement, choices and as well as your perception of risk. Happy decision makers are more optimistic about their probability (...)

The #cryptocurrency market, unlike any other market in the world, is very volatile. And investors that are involved in the market have, at one point or the other, faced large losses. The reason for the losses can be and are of multifold. However, in essence, they are all the same; money is lost.In the cryptocurrency market in specific, the reason can be anything from technology shortcomings to general speculation caused volatility. One of the major reasons for the loss in the cryptocurrency market especially is lack of discipline or blatant overconfidence.Irrespective of the reason, getting over losing a lot of money is a whole different ball-game. It can be one of the most challenging times in the life of a trader and sometimes have catastrophic consequences.If you are someone who is (...)

One of the biggest challenges for builders in the #cryptocurrency community is the vast inconsistency in function and quality of exchange APIs. Every exchange has their own quirks which present an impossible challenge for developers who want to integrate support for a range of exchanges. The impulsive whims of each exchange’s technical team means things can change without notice, assets can unexpectedly become unavailable or unlisted, and the API calls you were comfortable using may disappear. There are no standards or best practices that have been established, so dealing with exchanges becomes exhausting.The current way applications are built on top of exchanges is unsustainable. Even simple tasks become overcomplicated when dealing with the inconsistencies of exchanges. This places a (...)

Total market capitalization is back to August 2017 levels and the market mood is far from excitement.The #bitcoin lost 12% in 24 hours on November 20th, which sent it below $5,000 for the first time since October 2017.

Un filo d’acciaio che lega Lugano con il Donbass

Niente potrebbe essere più lontano. Lugano, con il suo lago, il clima quasi mediterraneo, e l’est dell’Ucraina, tutta acciaio e carbone, dove, nel Donbass, è in corso una guerra ormai dimenticata. Eppure un invisibile filo d’acciaio collega il Ceresio a queste terre ad est del fiume Dnipro. A unire le due regioni è il #trading: parte dei prodotti siderurgici lavorati tra Donetsk e Dnipro è infatti venduta sui mercati internazionali tramite numerose società di commercio basate a Lugano. Negli ultimi anni i principali produttori ucraini e russi hanno aperto qui la loro antenna commerciale, trovando quel mix ideale tra buone condizioni quadro, savoir-faire (e credito) bancario e discrezione.
