How to trade Forex in Kenya

Forex trading has been around since about the 1980s in countries such as Britain and the USA. At that time, at least the system had been established.
In Kenya, forex trading is not common to many, and to many, it is common to know the heartaches and heartbreaks that come with it.
From traversing the forex world for the past several years, I have the first-hand experience, and I can comfortably talk about forex trading. I have lost money trying to figure out what the brokers do, how the system work, and the factors to consider while trading Forex.
Admittedly I want to tell fellow Kenyans that this is a good venture with conditions! It is too good to be ignored, but the conditions are too stringent to be ignored too!
One thing African forex traders are never told meticulously is in the part of risk exposure. All the major countries such as the USA, Britain, and Germany, have their forex brokers well regulated, reducing the risk exposure of the traders. The maximum leverage for most forex brokers falls between 1:40 and 1:100 in these countries. In African countries, the brokers offer up to 1:2000 leverage.
Today, I’m going to summarize this and show how to go about it.
Leverage in real world scenarios is like cattle tethered to a peg. There is a water bucket in the next 40m; there is a river infested with Crocs in the next 1000m, and within the radius of 2000m, there is a lot of green grass, but the cattle have to go through the river. The cattle are safe only within the 40m radius. This is the current situation in Africa and Kenya. And this is the way most of the uncouth brokers make their money. You deposit $100 into your account; the brokers allow you to trade a lot size of up to 5, total madness! This is mathematically impossible people! Your account is going to be wiped out in 2 seconds. Still, on it, the same deposit with a lot size of 1, total madness, your account will last a half-day or full-day if you are lucky.
Now, this is the advice for all traders in Kenya: when you open a real account, check the brokers’ allowed strategies, some will take your money as you will not be able to close open your trade at the time you want once a position has been opened at certain times. Check the legitimacy of the brokers plus their regulators. Be cautious.
Secondly, if you have an amount less than $1000, I’ll advise that you open a cent account and trade not more than three lot sizes in this account. Do not trade lot size of 1 with this amount in a non cent account! Suppose you manage to hit well above $7000, it’s time to go to non cent account and trade not more than 1 lot size. When scalping, you can do up to 3 lot size, but it shouldn’t stay for long!

Apple Is Reportedly Testing A New Feature That Will Allow iPhone Users To Unsend Text Messages

Apple is about to change the game! According to Business Insider, the messages will be retracted through iMessage. Apparently once the message is retracted, a notification with very fine print will pop up in the conversation notifying everyone involved that the message was unsent.
The new feature is reportedly set to be a part of the next iOS update for iPhone users. Additionally there will be a new Slack-like mention system that would allow users to tag other contacts with their name like @Jack or @Mary. When you type the @ sign, a list of suggested contacts would appear. This would be particularly useful in busy group chat conversations, as it would be possible to enable the “Hide Alerts” setting and only receive push notifications when you are mentioned directly.

Audi to downsize its workforce in switch to electrification

The German auto manufacturer The VolksWagen Group has announced plans to downsize its workforce at its VW and Audi brands in switch to electrification. The layoffs will affect Ingolstadt and Neckarsulm workforces in Germany. Audi has said the downsizing should not be interpreted as firing, but rather as a regular occurrence along demographic lines. It will also offer its workers early retirement packages as an incentive for aged workers to take early leave. Audi plans to release approximately 15% of its German workforce to increase profit by $6.6 billion while Volkswagen, which is AG’s biggest profit maker, proceeds with a restructuring plan to help adapt to the high cost of transitioning to electric cars.
The restructure is aimed at recouping ground lost to luxury cars; Mercedes-Benz and BMW and counter pressure from Tesla. Audi’s profits dipped after the 2015 diesel scandal and Volkswagen has been trying to revive its fortunes. Audi intends to reduce as many as 9,500 jobs in Germany. Audi’s CEO said that the positions will not be cut off through firing but through attrition and voluntary measures including early retirement. Audi intends to retain approximately 50,000 employees and extend their employment guarantees from 2025 to 2029. The brand will also create 2,000 new positions to increase its engineering potency for digital sector and electromobility. This move is a part of a larger restructuring plan known as ‘The Future Pact,’ negotiated between the management and the employees council.
Bram Schot, Audi CEO announced the move and emphasized on the importance of making Audi more efficient and agile even through challenges. The move is aimed at increasing productivity and a more sustainable model that will strengthen to competitiveness of Audi’s German plants. Schot is set to retire in April 2020 as CEO and Markus Duesmann will be the new CEO. Duesmann will be expected to increase the company’s profits, increase collaboration with VW and Porsche, and release 30 new electric vehicles to the market. Other than the Dieselgate scandle that hit audi in 2015, the brand has also suffered losses compared to its German competitors since the introduction of new European emissions standards known as WLTP last year. Audi has over 90,000 workers internationally and 60,000 of the workers are based in Germany.
