Free Trading Articles and Resources | I Love Trading

On September 21, 2017, ABC News (Australia) produced a stunning article almost as if the universe was screaming at me to release this eBook and further encourage the spread of my Binary Options Book.

I would like to pass on a huge well done to Matthew Doran and Henry Belot for the article. The article entitled: “Global investment scam robbing Australians of millions each year as Government urged to act” is a very well written article.

The article calls on the Australian Federal Government to ban Binary
Options Trading for the very reasons that I have explained in my eBook and
highlights that Binary Options trading is “a form of fixed-odd betting”.

The article goes on to highlight how some Australians have lost more than $1000,000.00 AUD using Binary Options and then runs through heart breaking case studies on the issue.

The article goes on to explain that Canada, UK and European regulators are all seeking to ban Binary Options simultaneously. Not to be the bearer of bad news, but Binary Options ‘Trading’ is not trading at all and this eBook will go a long way to solidify this argument!

Well done Matthew Doran and Henry Belot on a stunning investigative article!

The Australian Taxation Office has released data providing an overview of the income and tax status of Australian individuals, companies, partnerships, trusts and funds.

From those latest released figures, the ATO have confirmed the 50 highest paying jobs for men and women in the country.

Among the number of professions listed, medical specialists dominate the higher ranking for both sexes, with Futures Traders the ONLY INDIVIDUAL TRADING Discipline to get a mention. FOREX, Binary Options, CFD and Options traders seemed to have missed the cut in this sample set.

For men, Futures Traders ranked number in the low 30’s with a taxable income of $264,830.00. Women traders did far better in terms of ranking and income, holding the rank of 4th and earning an average taxable income of $281,600.00. Well done girls on another trading victory!

On January 21, 2015, The Sydney Morning Herald Published an exceptional article entitled “The Dark Underworld of Forex Trading” that has clearly gone unnoticed by thousands of FOREX traders globally.

This article by Jonathan Shapiro was a brilliant insight into what is going on in the FOREX markets globally and why these markets are fundamentally flawed by design.

Many traders I have met globally think all forms of trading are equal and the fact is this assumption could not be further from the truth! This is a hard hitting fact based article that is a must read for all traders who want to be genuinely successful at trading.

On May 27, 2016, The Australian Financial Review published a brilliant
article entitled “FX Rigging hit by new code”.

Effectively, the article argues that FOREX brokers should be expected to abide by new international guidelines intended to clean up dodgy dealings and restore
confidence in the $US 5.3 trillion a day foreign exchange market.

The article then highlights that the code will be ‘Voluntary in Nature’ and there will be no control mechanisms in place to protect against the rigging of foreign exchange benchmarks or markets.

You may be aware that five international banks (2015) paid more than $US 9 billion in fines for manipulating the FOREX markets. Now there is a proposed “regulatory structure in place to help them behave” and yet this very ‘regulatory
structure’ is voluntary.

On August 14, 2016, Finance Magnates (dot com) published a brilliant article entitled “What’s Next for US Forex after Interactive Brokers Abandons Retail Market?”.

Effectively, Interactive Brokers (IB) decided to walk away from the
Global ‘Retail FOREX Market’ (Read Mum and Dad Traders) of which ‘IB’
controlled 7% of American retail FOREX market share.

I think they are walking away from brand ‘FOREX’ prior to the global meltdown of FOREX and the PUBLIC RELATIONS NIGHTMARE THAT WILL RESULT.

On February 7, 2017, Zero Hedge (dot com) featured a brilliant article on the permanent expulsion of the largest FOREX Broker in the USA, namely FXCM.

The article, entitled: ALERT: Largest US Forex Broker FXCM Shut Down and Permanently Banned from NFA, details how the organization has deceived potentially tens of thousands of clients using multiple FOREX broker-initiated manipulation techniques.

I do not want to seem like the bearer of sad news but FXCM were the largest FOREX broker in the world!!!

If only these FOREX traders realized they can trade the currency markets using a FUTURES Contract, they would not be in this mess!!!

On May 28, 2017, Forex News Now featured a very informative article on both FOREX and Binary Options and the weaknesses of both market designs.

The article entitled: CySEC to consider a ban on Binary options altogether, discusses why CySEC (the Cypress Securities and Exchange Commission), with other financial regulators, have toughened laws governing the Forex and binary options industries.

This is a response to the numerous claims of frauds in the industries by aggrieved clients, especially in the binary options industry. Oh dear, so even the CySEC is considering a ban!

All of these Binary Options Traders could simply switch to FUTURES and completely avoid the issues they are facing.

One Simple decision with global ramifications for their trading!!!

On June 8, 2017, Finance Magnates (dot com) featured a revealing article
regarding Apple Computers banning all forms of Binary Options Apps from their App Store.

The article entitled: Apple Bans Binary Options Apps from App Store, states that “Apple has just issued updated guidelines for its App Store for iOS devices. The company made a dramatic change affecting the binary options industry as a whole.

According to the updated document, all applications that “facilitate binary options trading are not permitted on the App Store”. Building on the CySEC article, we now have the biggest company in the world, by market capitalization, saying that they do not support any App related to the trading of Binary Options.

I know I am not a fan of OTC Broker Controlled markets like Binary Options, sure, but with companies like Apple banning Binary Option Apps, is anyone else getting the hint here?

We could just all trade FUTURES and never use an OTC Broker ever again!!!
