FinaWiki Releases Research Report on ‘Opportunities for Trading in 2021’

Recently, FinaWiki (https://finawiki.com/) has released a research report on ‘Opportunities for Trading in 2021’. 2020 was a year of rapid volatility on all the trading markets, and the sharp ups and downs attracted many new traders, among which many succeeded in taking advantage of the conditions. But as countries and businesses are recovering and adapting to the new reality, such drastic price swings aren’t as common. So are there still opportunities to be found in trading for example on IqOption or IqBroker, and if so, what are the steps one may consider taking to start trading online in 2021?

The answer is yes with experts from IqOptions (https://iqoptions.net/): online trading is becoming more popular and even if the intense volatility stayed in 2020, the possibility of considerable outcomes didn’t. So, how to start trading in 2021? Novice trader, somebody who just recently discovered the world of online trading and doesn’t know what the key points to consider are, needs to know one important fact: rash decisions won’t bring any good.

Many traders lose their hard-earned money within the first couple of weeks of trading – they dive straight into trading, without learning anything about the way trading works. Such an approach is not going to bring any positive outcomes, so instead of hurrying, take time to nail down the very basics of trading. Read the guide below including five basic steps which should be taken into consideration to start the trading journey in 2021.

Choosing a trading instrument the first step

Contrary to what others may say, choosing the right trading instrument is one of the most important things to do when just beginning. What do traders prefer: Stocks, Forex, Cryptos? Maybe traders are specifically interested in trading commodities? Or maybe traders don’t mind trying it all.

Regardless of what trader ends up picking, this step will encourage to study, even if briefly, about every trading instrument out there. This way the trader will know what’s available and what the pros and cons are.

Pick broker and open an account

This one may seem obvious, but choosing the broker is just as important. The available trading assets, fees, spreads, deposit and withdrawal conditions will all depend on the chosen broker. There are many comparison articles about different online brokers on https://expertoption.trade/ compare the existing brokers and choose the one that suits best.

Register an account and learn all about the features and analysis instruments that are available. Traders should understand the interface. This will ensure a smoother trading process.

Get a grasp of the market

To understand the full picture of what traders are dealing with, start following market news. Such resources as Yahoo Finance, Google Finance and Investing should already be in every trader’s bookmarks, so make sure to check them daily to stay on top of the news.

To better understand the very basics, traders may check the must-read books for traders. Books are a good way to get familiar with the world of investing and trading, without rushing to make big deposits straight away.

Learn about technical and fundamental analysis

What do traders see when looking at a price chart? If traders see a price that goes up and down, it’s only a small fraction of what’s actually there. Volatility, consolidation, choppiness – all these terms have a meaning and it’s important to learn what actually makes the chart move. Analyzing the chart is a huge part of a trader’s approach and outcome. Without analysis, one can only guess, and guessing is not a valid trading approach.

Mastering fundamental analysis may give traders the skill of planning the next trade after reading a piece of economic news while acing technical analysis might give the ability to find patterns in the price chart and take advantage of them before anyone else. Learn all about chart patterns, timeframes, chart types, indicators and the economic calendar.

It may seem like a lot of information to take in at once. Spread the topics and take them in one after another. Too much information might only confuse you – it is important to take it slow and pay attention to what the trader is learning about.

Practice

Many brokers provide a Practice account that can be used for practising as long as the trader likes. No need to use real money, especially not until having a working trading approach all planned. Make lots of trades and try different assets, time periods, test different indicators and find what is best. Don’t forget to analyze both traders’ successes and failures to understand what should be corrected.

Another important point to remember is risk management – includes money management techniques to trades and later on make sure to carry them through to the Real account as well.

Conclusion

It is never too late to become a trader, but it is important to enter this field with a deep understanding of how trading works. This is why spending time on a theory about the markets is never a waste of time. Extensive practising may allow building better trading approaches, but always keep risk management in mind and actively include it in trading. Test strategies and don’t get discouraged by failures – they are a part of the learning process.

After years of research, startup introduces most powerful home air purification system ever built

Castus is launching crowdfunding campaign to manufacture and distribute a revolutionary air purifier, sanitizer and humidifier.

 As the world slowly emerges from the COVID-19 pandemic, health experts and citizens alike are shifting their eyes toward building a healthier, cleaner world.

In the effort to create cleaner homes, Castus is leading toward changing the way home air is purified in the post-pandemic era by introducing the most powerful air purifier, sanitiser, and humidifier ever built for residential use.

The startup has been developing its seven cutting-edge air purification technologies since 2012, with a vision to provide clean and healthy indoor air while increasing awareness of air pollution.

“Our team of scientists and engineers cares deeply about offering the ultimate air purifier,” said a company spokesperson. “The events of the last year have motivated us to think outside the box and to create something impactful.”

The Castus team, which includes chemical, mechanical, electrical, and computer science engineers in collaboration with microbiologists, formed to devise a way to purify the air on a whole new level. Their powerful new system combines seven purification technologies — ultraviolet light sterilizers (UVC), nano copper, nanosilver, anion release, medical-grade HEPA filtration, nanocrystal activated carbon and patented nano photocatalyst technologies — into a single system to efficiently monitor, detect, capture, neutralize, and eliminate airborne pollutants, bacteria, and viruses.

Designed with the home in mind, the Castus air purification’s sleek, minimalist design includes a simple yet effective LED indicator that describes the level of air purity in a home using a system of four colours representing the highest to the lowest concentration of pollutants.

Castus is recommended for use with spaces up to 54 square meters or 581 square feet. It comes in Standard, Ultra, and Ultimate models featuring super quiet operation using an eight-speed, brushless motor.

Now, Castus is launching a campaign on the Indiegogo platform to crowdfund the Castus air purifier. The goal is to invite investors to help Castus enter the mass production phase.

“We started this journey eight years ago and with five prototypes built and developed we are now ready to present Castus to the world,” the spokesperson said. “In one phrase, Castus is the ultimate air purifier, sanitiser, and humidifier. We are ready to get Castus out to you.”

For a limited time, anyone can sign up to learn more about the Castus crowdfunding campaign and access an early bird discount of 40 per cent off at https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/–195024/coming soon.

New Research Highlighted at the International Society of Sports Nutrition Supports the Function of a Novel Kyowa Hakko Paraprobiotic for High Intensity Training

Kyowa Hakko showcased the latest branded ingredient innovations including IMMUSE™ Lactococcus lactis strain Plasma and EYEMUSE™ Lacticaseibacillus paracasei KW3110.

Kyowa Hakko, an international health ingredients manufacturer and world leader in the development, manufacturing, and marketing of pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals and food products recently participated in the International Society of Sports Nutrition (ISSN) Conference. ISSN is the only non-profit academic society dedicated to promoting the science and application of evidence-based sports nutrition and supplementation. The ISSN is the world’s leader in providing science-based sports nutrition and supplement information.
Dr. Shintaro Ichikawa, Director of Technical Affairs at Kyowa Hakko USA, led the development and product launch of IMMUSE™, Lactococcus lactis strain plasma (LC-Plasma), in Japan and recently presented the topic “Immunological approach to reduce URTI symptoms in high intensity training: the function of paraprobiotics” during the ISSN Conference.
IMMUSE™, discovered by Kirin Holding Company Limited, a pioneer in fermentation technology and parent company to Kyowa Hakko Bio, acts uniquely by activating plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDC). pDC, a key leader of the immune system, has been shown to activate pivotal cells such as NK, Killer-T, Helper-T, and B cells, providing more comprehensive immune support.

Dr. Ichikawa explains, “It is well known that prolonged high intensity exercise decreases immune function and increases the risk of upper respiratory tract infections (URTI). It is a serious problem for athletes because not only are URTIs unpleasant, they will also reduce training efficiency.”

According to Dr. Shintaro, “There is emerging evidence that has shown oral intake of LC- Plasma activates pDC and provides immune support . This novel approach to enhance the immune system may improve the experience of continuous high intensity training.”

Validated by eleven human clinical studies consisting of nine efficacy studies and two safety studies, IMMUSE™ is a science-based ingredient that functions to get the immune system ready, supporting year-round health when taken regularly.* A series of safety data including in vitro, in vivo and in human have been collected. Deemed stable in a wide variety of applications including tablets, capsules and gummy formulations, IMMUSE™ is an innovative dietary supplement ingredient delivering a breakthrough approach for immune health.

Kyowa Hakko’s newest clinically-researched eye health ingredient, EYEMUSE™, debuted at ISSN. The first heat-treated paraprobiotic, Lacticaseibacillus paracasei KW3110, that has shown to promote healthy eye function.* Discovered by Kyowa Hakko’s parent-company Kirin Holding Company Limited, EYEMUSE™ stimulates the immune cells that produce regulatory cytokines such as IL-10 to support eye health.* By helping the regulatory cytokine induction and supporting a balanced immune response, EYEMUSE™ may help reduce digital stress related eye fatigue and other ocular discomforts.*

BrainBerry Launches the COSMA App for People with Dementia

COSMA establishes emotional well-being for people living with dementia

BrainBerry is dedicated to the research and development of effective digital therapies which developed the COSMA Application. The gamification app for dementia is built based on scientific base evidence and aims at promoting emotional well-being for those who suffer from the same. Their first scientific paper on the same has also been published to prove its efficiency on emotional well-being for people living with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and early dementia. http://journal.seriousgamessociety.org/index.php/IJSG/article/view/412/411

Dementia is a broad category of neurodegenerative brain diseases that includes Alzheimer’s, Vascular Dementia, and Lewy Body Dementia, etc. Whilst the use of medication is undoubtedly vital in helping both severe and light sufferers of Dementia, BrainBerry believes that Dementia prevention is still an underdeveloped form of treatment and COSM could potentially change the way the earlier stages of Dementia are treated.

Brainberry is a digital healthcare company that came into existence in 2016. They aim at implementing the idea of a therapy software that focuses on the well-being of people suffering from mild to medium dementia. They also aim at empowering patients with mental health conditions such as sleep disorder and depression through various technological and counseling innovations.

Square Study Shows How Retailers and Restaurants Are Adapting to Changes in Consumer Behavior and Turning to Technology To Get Back on Track in 2021

Today, Square released a new report that reveals how retailers and restaurateurs are taking control of the future by delivering on customers’ evolving expectations — with an intentional focus on technology, operating efficiency, and customer experiences. Square developed the Future of Restaurants and Future of Retail reports to provide a snapshot of what businesses are investing in and what’s working.

“We’re seeing restaurants shift to a model that places more emphasis on the kitchen as the central hub of the operation” Tweet

To uncover these insights, Square collaborated with Wakefield Research to survey restaurateurs, retailers, and consumers across the U.S. Additionally, Square spoke to businesses and industry experts to share how retailers and restaurateurs are facing challenges, embracing innovative solutions, and forging new paths forward in 2021.

“Scrappiness is in our sellers’ DNA and, in 2021, we’re expecting more of the same. It will be more important than ever to find creative ways to meet consumers where they are most comfortable, providing memorable experiences in-store, online, curbside, and everywhere in between,” said Alyssa Henry, Seller Lead at Square.

For example, after chef Anthony Strong closed his popular San Francisco restaurant Prairie last August in the wake of COVID-19, he didn’t give up. He emerged a couple months later with a new concept: He transformed his 1989 Volkswagen van into a mobile dining room, traveling the city to serve up a four-course “glamping” dining experience. While shuttering Prairie was devastating, Strong did what entrepreneurs have done time and again – got back to work and innovated in the face of adversity.

Overwhelmingly, the report found that restaurants and retailers alike are undertaking big changes to existing strategies and adopting new technologies to stay ahead of the curve. For example, we saw retailers increasingly turning to online and social selling to continue serving their customers – in fact:

  • 88% of retailers are now selling online
  • For retailers with one location that sells online, 66% of their revenue comes from online sales
  • 84% of retailers who sell online either already sell on social media or plan to this year
  • Among retailers selling on social media, 40% of their online revenue comes from social selling
  • Online shoppers bought an average of eight products from social media sites directly in the past month, at the time of this survey
  • 74% of retailers plan on using real-time inventory technology this year
  • 72% of consumers prefer delivery over pickup, but only 37% of retailers plan to offer same-day delivery.

“Retail has changed rapidly over the last year,” said Square’s head of eCommerce, David Rusenko. “But the transformation is giving retailers a chance to slow down and invest in doing things smarter across both in-store and online channels. The changes aren’t a way to simply make it through – they’re permanent and redefining what a meaningful retail experience can look like.”

And it’s not just retailers who are seeing massive shifts in 2021, restaurants are also fundamentally reimagining the way they do business to keep their operation running smoothly, improve their bottom line, and continue serving their customers.

  • 91% of restaurants have made, or plan to make, investments in kitchen automation technology.
  • Restaurants expect 62% of their revenue to come from takeout or delivery in 2021.
  • 58% of restaurants prefer to use their own app or website for delivery.
  • Nearly half of restaurant owners or managers plan to continue offering digital menu access using URL or QR codes in 2021
  • 3 in 4 restaurants plan on offering contactless ordering and payment options across all channels, with 61% utilizing contactless payments on-premise
  • 42% of restaurants plan to invest in customer loyalty programs
  • Restaurants that are using online ordering for delivery and takeout expect 62% of revenue to come through those online channels
  • 67% of consumers prefer to use a restaurant’s own website or app for food delivery
  • 92% of restaurant owners and managers are open to experimenting with their menu

“We’re seeing restaurants shift to a model that places more emphasis on the kitchen as the central hub of the operation,” said Bruce Bell, head of Square for Restaurants. “Restaurants are embracing new channels for customers to interact with their business, effectively meeting them wherever they are. Each of these channels represents a revenue stream for the restaurant and they connect to the same kitchen and are all managed by the same centralized POS system.”

Despite a hard year, the future is full of opportunities for restaurateurs and retailers. For a full analysis of the top restaurant and retail trends of 2021, industry insights from Square experts, and real-life examples from innovative Square sellers, you can access the report here.
