4

DeMarksย 

A very popular method of calculating pivots is Tom DeMark’s pivot points. While not quite pivot points they can be used to forecast the future of the trend. The main appeal of these pivot points is to predict the lows and highs of a trading period.ย

What are CFDs?

CFDs are bought and sold like any tradable asset, the difference is you don’t have to own the underlying asset or instrument you’re trading.ย ย ย 

It is a contract between two parties, described as โ€œbuyerโ€ and โ€œsellerโ€.ย ย ย 

If you believe the price of Gold is going up, you would buy a Gold CFD and you would then close the position by selling the CFD. Your profit (or loss) would be the difference in the price of the CFD between the time you entered and closed your position.ย ย ย 

CFD trading also allows traders to leverage their capital by trading amounts far higher than the funds in their accounts.ย ย ย
