“USDZAR on a Downward Trend”The South African Reserve Bank has reduced the policy interest rate to 8.00%. Following this move, the reversals at the 17.40 level in the USDZAR pair have drawn attention. The Fed had unexpectedly cut rates by 50 basis points at its September meeting. This situation has led to significant losses in dollar assets, while we can observe that any increases in the USDZAR pair remain limited. From a technical perspective, if the exchange rate surpasses the 17.70 level, rises may initially extend to 17.95 and then to the 18.20 resistance level. On the downside, if the 17.40 level is breached, we could see a decline to 17.15 and then to the 16.90 support level.

How I Made $2M in the Stock Market | Daily Trading PsychologyNicholas Darvas, a name that echoes through the annals of trading history, was not your typical Wall Street insider. A professional dancer by trade, Darvas' entrance into the stock market was as unconventional as his approach. His book, How I Made $2,000,000 in the Stock Market, offers insights that are as relevant today as they were in the mid-20th century. But the core of Darvas' success wasn’t rooted in complex algorithms or insider information—it was rooted in his mindset. Darvas' journey is a testament to the idea that trading is 95% mental and only 5% technical. He didn't rely on flashy indicators or news headlines to guide his trades. Instead, he developed a disciplined, almost detached mindset. This stoic approach allowed him to navigate the unpredictable waves of the stock market with a level head, something that many traders today still struggle to achieve. The essence of Darvas’ method was simplicity combined with self-control. He famously developed the "Darvas Box" theory, a straightforward yet effective technical analysis tool. However, it wasn’t the box that made him millions; it was his mental approach to the market. He treated trading as a business, with strict rules and a clear strategy. When the market moved against him, he didn’t react emotionally or second-guess his strategy. Instead, he adhered to his plan, trusting that his disciplined approach would yield results in the long run. For traders looking to elevate their game, Darvas’ experience offers a critical lesson: master your mind, and the rest will follow. Emotions like fear and greed are the biggest enemies in trading. By maintaining a calm, almost indifferent attitude towards market fluctuations, traders can avoid the pitfalls that come with emotional decision-making. This mental fortitude allows for a focus on the bigger picture, rather than getting caught up in the noise of daily market movements. In practical terms, this means developing a trading plan and sticking to it, regardless of short-term results. It means setting clear goals, knowing when to enter and exit trades, and—perhaps most importantly—accepting losses as part of the game. Darvas didn’t win on every trade, but his stoic mindset ensured that when he did lose, it didn’t derail his overall strategy. In the end, the real takeaway from Darvas' story isn’t just about the money he made—it's about how he made it. By prioritizing mental discipline over technical complexity, traders can position themselves for long-term success. The markets will always be unpredictable, but with the right mindset, traders can navigate them with confidence and clarity. T. L. Turner
