Glossary of Terms
ActiveX—ActiveX controls are software modules based on the Microsoft Component Object Model (COM) architecture. They add functionality to software applications by seamlessly incorporating pre-made modules with the basic software package. Modules can be interchanged but still appear as parts of the original software.
On the Internet, ActiveX controls can be linked to web pages and downloaded by an ActiveX-compliant browser. ActiveX controls turn web pages into software pages that perform like any other program launched from a server. ActiveX controls can have full system access. In most instances this access is legitimate, but one should be cautious of malicious ActiveX applications.
Adware—Adware is a legitimate, non-replicating program designed to display ads to the end user, often based on monitoring of browsing habits, and often in exchange for the right to use a program without paying for it.
Anti-antivirus virus—Similar to a retrovirus, anti-antivirus viruses attack, disable, or infect specific antivirus software.
Antivirus software—Antivirus software scans a computer's memory and disk drives for viruses. If it finds a virus, the application informs the user and may clean, delete, or quarantine any files, directories, or disks affected by the malicious code.
Antivirus virus—Antivirus viruses specifically look for and remove other viruses.
Applet—An applet is any miniature application transported over the Internet, especially as an enhancement to a web page. Authors often embed applets within the HTML page as a foreign program type.
Java applets are usually only allowed to access certain areas of the user's system. Computer programmers often refer to this area as the sandbox.
Attack—An attack is an attempt to subvert or bypass a system's security. Attacks may be passive or active.
- Active attacks attempt to destroy data.
- Passive attacks try to intercept or read data without changing it.
Attributes—Characteristics assigned to all files and directories, such as read-only, archive, hidden, or system.
Back door—A feature programmers often build into programs to allow special privileges normally denied to users of the program. Often programmers build back doors so they can fix bugs. If hackers or others learn about a back door, the feature may pose a security risk.
Background scanning—A feature in some anti-virus software to automatically scan files and documents as they are created, opened, closed, or executed.
Background task—A task executed by the system that generally remains invisible to the user. The system usually assigns background tasks a lower priority than foreground tasks. Some malicious software is executed by a system as a background task so the user does not realize unwanted actions are occurring.
Backup—A duplicate copy of data made for archiving purposes or for protection against damage and loss Also the process of creating duplicate data. A backup is not considered secure unless it is stored in a location separate from the original.
Batch files—Text files containing one MS-DOS command on each line of the file. When run, each line executes in sequential order. The batch file AUTOEXEC.BAT is executed when the computer is booted, and it loads
Bayesian filter—A program that uses Bayesian logic to evaluate the header and content of an incoming email message to determine the probability that it constitutes spam.
Bimodal virus—A bimodal virus infects both boot records and files. It is also called a bipartite virus.
BIOS—Stands for Basic Input/Output System. It is the part of the operating system that identifies the set of programs used to boot the computer before it locates the system disk. The BIOS is located in the ROM (Read-Only Memory) area of the system and is usually stored permanently.
Boot—To boot a computer is to start or reset the system so it is ready to run programs for the user. Booting the computer executes various programs to check and prepare the computer for use.
Boot record—A program recorded in the boot sector and contains information on the characteristics and contents of the disk and information needed to boot the computer.
Boot sector—An area located on the first track of floppy disks and logical disks that contains boot record.
Boot sector infector (BSI)—A boot-sector infector virus places its starting code in the boot sector. When the computer tries to read and execute the program in the boot sector, the virus goes into memory where it can gain control over basic computer functions.
Bot network—A bot network is a network of hijacked zombie computers controlled remotely by a hacker. The hacker uses the network to send spam and launch Denial of Service attacks, and may rent the network out to other cyber criminals.
Browser hijacker—A type of spyware that allows the hacker to spy on the infected PC's browsing activity, to deliver pop-up ads, to reset the browser homepage, and to redirect the browser to other unexpected sites.
Brute-force attack—An attack in which each possible key or password is attempted until the correct one is found.
Bug—An unintentional fault in a program that causes actions that neither the user nor the program author intended.
Cavity virus—A cavity virus overwrites a part of its host file without increasing the length of the file while also preserving the host's functionality.
Clean—A computer, file, or disk that is free of viruses is considered clean.
Cluster virus—Cluster viruses modify the directory table entries so the virus starts before any other program. The virus code only exists in one location, but running any program runs the virus as well. Because they modify the directory, cluster viruses may appear to infect every program on a disk.
COM file—A type of executable file limited to 64 kb. These simple files are often used for utility programs and small routines. Because COM files are executable, viruses can infect them.
Companion virus—Companion viruses use a feature of DOS that allows software programs with the same name, but with different extensions, to operate with different priorities. Most companion viruses create a COM file which has a higher priority than an EXE file with the same name.
Compromise—To access a system or disclose information without authorization.
Cookie—Blocks of text places in a file on your computer's hard disk. Web sites use cookies to identify users who revisit their site.
Cookies might contain login or registration information, "shopping cart" information or user preferences. When a server receives a browser request that includes a cookie, the server can use the information stored in the cookie to customize the web site for the user.
Crimeware—Malicious software such as viruses, Trojan horses, spyware, deceptive scripts, and other programs used to commit crimes on the Internet including identity theft and fraud.
Cyber criminals—Hackers, crackers, and other malicious users that use the Internet to commit crimes such as identity theft, PC hijacking, illegal spamming, phishing and pharming, and other types of fraud.
Cyber gangs—Groups of hackers, crackers, and other cyber criminals that pool their resources to commit crimes on the Internet.
Default password—The password on a system when it is first delivered or installed.
Denial of Service (DoS)—An attack specifically designed to prevent the normal functioning of a system and thereby to prevent lawful access to the system by authorized users. Hackers can cause Denials of Service attacks by destroying or modifying data or by overloading the system's servers until service to authorized users is delayed or prevented.
Dialer—Programs that use a system, without your permissions or knowledge, to dial out through the Internet to a 900 number or FTP site, typically to accrue charges.
Direct action virus—A direct-action virus works immediately to load itself into memory, infect other files, and then to unload itself.
Disinfection—Most anti-virus software carries out disinfection after reporting the presence of a virus to the user. During disinfection, the virus may be removed from the system, and whenever possible, any affected data is removed.
DNS—Stands for Domain Name System or Domain Name Server. A DNS server helps users to find their way around the Internet by translating each web site's IP address, which is a string of numbers, into its easy-to-remember domain name.
DOC file—A Microsoft Word Document file. In the past, these files contained only document data, but with many newer versions of Microsoft Word, DOC files also included small programs called macros. Many virus authors use the macro programming language to associate macros with DOC files. This file type has the extension DOC.
DOS—Stands for Disk Operating System. This is generally any computer operating system, though the term is often used as shorthand for MS-DOS.
Dropper—A carrier file that installs a virus on a computer system. Virus authors often use droppers to shield their viruses from antivirus software. The term injector often refers to a dropper that installs a virus only in memory.
EICAR—European Institute of Computer Antivirus Research.
EICAR Standard Antivirus Test File—A safe and simple way to test the installation and behavior of antivirus software without using a real virus. If executed, it will display the message "EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!"
Encrypted virus—An encrypted virus's code begins with a decryption algorithm and continues with scrambled or encrypted code for the remainder of the virus. Each time it infects, it automatically encodes itself differently, so its code is never the same. Through this method the virus tries to avoid detection by antivirus software.
Encryption—The scrambling of data so that it becomes difficult to unscramble and interpret.
EXE file—An EXE is an executable file. Usually it is executed by double-clicking its icon or an shortcut on the desktop, or by entering the name of the program at a command prompt. Executable files can also be executed from other programs, batch files, or various script files. The vast majority of known viruses infect executable files. Also called program files.
False negative—Occurs when antivirus software fails to indicate that an infected file is truly infected. False negatives are more serious than false positives, although both are undesirable.
False positive—Occurs when antivirus software wrongly claims that a virus is infecting a clean file. False positives usually occur when the string chose for the given virus signature is also present in another program.
Fast infector—Fast infector viruses, when active in memory, infect not only executed programs, but also other programs that are open at the same time. Thus, running an application such as antivirus software, which opens many programs but does not execute them, can result in all programs becoming infected.
FAT—A File Allocation Table. Under MS-DOS, Windows 3.x, 9x, and NT, the FAT is located in the boot sector of the disk and stores the addresses of all the files contained on a disk. Viruses and other malicious programs, as well and normal use and extended wear and tear, can damage the FAT. If the FAT is damaged or corrupted, the operating system may be unable to locate files on the disk.
File viruses—File viruses usually replace or attach themselves to COM and EXE files. They can also infect files with the extensions SYS, DRV, BIN, OVL, and OVY.
File Reputation System—A file reputation system computes and publishes reputation scores for files within a community or domain, based on a collection of opinions that other entities hold about the files. The opinions are typically passed as ratings to a reputation center which uses a specific reputation algorithm to dynamically compute the reputation scores based on the received ratings.
Firewall—A firewall prevents computers on a network from communicating directly with external computer systems. A firewall typically consists of a computer that acts as a barrier through which all information passing between the networks and the external systems must travel. The firewall software analyzes information passing between the two and rejects it if it does not conform to pre-configured rules.
Fram—Spam forwarded to you by a family member, friend, or colleague.
Hacker—A person who creates and modifies computer software and hardware, including computer programming, administration, and security-related items. Criminal hackers create malware in order to commit crimes.
Hijacking—An attack whereby an active, established session is intercepted and used by the attacker. Hijacking can occur locally if, for example, a legitimate user leaves a computer unattended. Remote hijacking can occur via the Internet.
Hole—A vulnerability in the design software and/ or hardware that allows circumvention of security measures.
Host—A term often used to describe the computer file to which a virus attaches itself. Most viruses run when the computer or user tries to execute the host file.
In the wild (ITW)—A virus is "in the wild" if it is verified as having caused an infection outside a laboratory situation. Most viruses are in the wild.
Infection—The action a virus carries out when it enters a computer system or storage device.

Macro—A series of instructions designed to simplify repetitive tasks within a program such as Microsoft Word, Excel, or Access. Macros execute when a user opens the associated file. Macros are in mini-programs and can be infected by viruses.
Macro virus—A malicious macro. Macro viruses are written in a macro programming language and attach to a document file such as Word or Excel. When a document or template containing the macro virus is opened in the target application, the virus runs, does its damage, and copies itself into other documents. Continual use of the program results in the spread of the virus.
Mail bomb—An excessively large email, or many thousands of messages sent to user's email account. This is done to crash the system and prevent genuine messages from being received.
Malicious code—A piece of code designed to damage a system and the data it contains, or to prevent the system from being used in its normal manner.

Real-time scanner—An antivirus software application that operates as a background task, allowing the computer to continue working at a normal speed while it works.
Redirect—An action used by some viruses to point a command to a different location. Often this different location is the address of the virus and not the original file or application.
Rename—An action by which a user or program assigns a new name to a file. Viruses may rename program files and take the name of the file so that running the program inadvertently runs the virus.
Replication—The process by which a virus makes copies of itself in order to carry out subsequent infections. Replication is one of major criteria separating viruses from other computer programs.
Reset—Restart a computer without turning it off.
Resident extension—Memory-resident portion of a program that remains active after the program ends. It essentially becomes an extension to the operating system.
Resident virus—A resident virus loads into memory and remains inactive until a trigger event. When the event occurs, the virus activates, either infecting a file or disk, or causing other consequences.
Rogue program—A term the media uses to denote any program intended to damage programs or data, or to breach a system's security.
Rootkit— A stealthy type of software, often malicious, designed to hide the existence of certain processes or programs from normal methods of detection and enable continued privileged access to a computer.

Scanner—A virus detection program that searches for viruses.
Sector viruses—See "boot sector infector" or "master boot sector virus"
Self-encrypting virus—Viruses that attempt to conceal themselves from antivirus programs. Most antivirus programs attempt to find viruses by looking for certain patterns of code that are unique to each virus.
Self-extracting files—A self-extracting file decompresses part of itself when executed. Software authors often use this file type to transmit files and software via the Internet, since compressed files conserve space and reduce download time. Some antivirus products may not search self-extracting file components.
Self-garbling viruses—A self-garbling virus attempts to hide from antivirus software by garbling its own code. When these viruses spread, they change the way they are encoded so antivirus software cannot find them. A small portion of the virus code decodes the garbled code when activated.
Shared drive—A disk drive available to other computers on the network.
Shareware—Software distributed for evaluation without cost, but that requires payment to the author for full rights.
Signature—A search pattern—often a simple string of characters or bytes—expected to be found in every instance of a particular virus.
Slow infector—Slow infector viruses are active in memory and only infect new or modified files.
SMTP—Simple Mail Transport Protocol. It is the Internet email delivery format for transmitting email messages between servers.
Sniffer—A software program that monitors network traffic. Hackers use sniffers to capture data transmitted over a network.
Spam—Unsolicited or undesired bulk electronic messages. There is email spam, instant messaging spam, Usenet newsgroup spam, web search-engine spam in blogs, and mobile phone messaging spam. Spam includes legitimate advertisements, misleading advertisements, and phishing messages designed to trick recipients into giving up personal and financial information.
Spam filter—A program used to detect unsolicited email to prevent spam from making it to a user's inbox. Filters are places on email and ISP servers, in anti-spam software, and in anti-phishing browsers.
Sparse infector—Sparse infector viruses use conditions before infecting files.
Spim—Spam for instant messaging. These messages can be simple unsolicited ads, or fraudulent phishing mail.
Spoofed web site—A site that mimics a real company's site—mainly financial services sites—in order to steal private information such as passwords or account numbers, from people that are tricked into visiting. Phishing emails contain links to counterfeit sites, which looks exactly like the real company's site, down to the logo, graphics, and detailed information.
Spyware—A wide range of unwanted programs that exploit infected computers for commercial gain. They can deliver unsolicited pop-up advertisements, steal personal information, monitor web-browsing activity for marketing purposes, or route HTTP requests to advertising sites.
Stealth virus—Stealth viruses attempt to conceal their presence from antivirus software. Many stealth viruses intercept disk-access requests, so when the antivirus application tries to read files or boot sectors to find the virus, the virus feeds the program a "clean" image for the requested item.
String—A consecutive series of letters, numbers, and other characters. "afsH8&DJs" is a string, as well as "The Mad Hatter". Antivirus applications often use specific strings, called virus signatures, to detect viruses.
Template—Certain applications use template files to pre-load default configurations settings.
Time bomb—A malicious action triggered at a specific date or time.
Timestamp—The time of creation or last modification recorded on a file or another object. Users can usually find the timestamp in the Properties section of a file.
Top of Memory (TOM)—A design limitation at the 640kb mark on most PCs. Often the boot record does not completely reach top of memory, thus leaving empty space. Boot-sector infectors often try to conceal themselves by hiding around the top of memory.
Triggered event—An action built into a virus that is set off by a specific condition. Examples include a message displayed on a specific date or reformatting a hard drive after the 10th execution of a program.
Trojan horse—A malicious program that pretends to be a benign application. It purposefully does something the user does not expect. Trojans are not viruses since they do not replicate, but they can be just as destructive.
TSR—Stands for Terminate and Stay Resident. TSR programs stay in memory after being executed. They allow the user to quickly switch back and forth between programs in a non-multitasking environment, such as MS-DOS. Some viruses are TSR programs that stay in memory to infect other files and programs.
Tunneling—A virus technique designed to prevent antivirus applications from working correctly. Antivirus programs work by intercepting the operating system before it can execute a virus. Tunneling viruses try to intercept the actions before the antivirus software can detect the malicious code. New antivirus programs can recognize many viruses with tunneling behavior.
Universal Naming Convention (UNC)—The standard for naming network drives.
Vaccination—A technique some antivirus programs use to store information about files in order to notify the user about file changes. Internal vaccines store the information within the file itself, while external vaccines use another file to verify the original for possible changes.
Variant—A modified version of a virus. It is usually produced on purpose by the virus author or another person amending the virus code. If changes to the original are small, most antivirus products will also detect variants. However, if the changes are large, the variant may go undetected by antivirus software.
Visual Basic Script (VBS)—A programming language that can invoke any system function—including starting, using, and shutting down other applications—without user knowledge. VBS can be embedded in HTML files and provide active content via the Internet.
Virus—A computer program file capable or attaching to disks or other files and replicating itself repeatedly, typically without user knowledge or permission. Some viruses attach to files so when the infected file executes, the virus also executes. Other viruses sit in a computer's memory and infect files as the computer opens, modifies, or creates the files. Some viruses display symptoms, and others damage files and computer systems, but neither is essential in the definition of a virus.
Virus hoaxes—Virus hoaxes are not viruses, but are usually emails warning people about a virus or other malicious software program. Some hoaxes cause as much trouble as viruses by causing massive amounts of unnecessary email. Most hoaxes contain one or more of the following characteristics:
- Warnings about alleged new viruses and their damaging consequences.
- Demands that the reader forward the warning to as many people as possible.
- Pseudo-technical "information" describing the virus.
- Bogus comment from officials: FBI, software companies, news agencies, etc.
Warm boot—Restarting a computer without first turning off the power. Using CTL+ALT+DEL or the reset button on many computers can warm boot a machine.
Windows scripting—Windows Scripting Host is a Microsoft-integrated module that lets programmers use any scripting language to automate operations throughout the Windows desktop.
Worm—Parasitic computer programs that replicate, but unlike viruses, do not infect other computer program files. Worms can create copies on the same computer, or can send the copies to other computers via a network.
ZIP file—A compressed file. A zip archive contains compressed collections of zipped files. ZIP files are popular on the Internet because users can deliver multiple files in a single container, and the compressed files save disk space and download time. A ZIP file can contain viruses if any of the files packaged in it contain viruses.
Zombie—A PC that has been infected with a virus or Trojan horse that puts it under the remote control of an online hijacker. The hijacker uses it to generate spam or launch Denial of Service attacks.
Zoo—A collection of viruses used for testing by researchers.
Zoo virus—A zoo virus exists in the collections of researchers and has never infected a real-world computer system.

Margaret Keane started working at the ripe age of 10 and did her first gig by offering a lending hand to a jeweler in her childhood neighborhood shop in Queens, New York. He paid her half a penny and Keane would work until her hands were sore and blistered to gather those precious $10.
Now 51 years later Synchrony announced that its CEO Margaret Keane will step down and act as executive chair for the 21 billion credit card provider's Board of Directors. This means that the S&P 500 index will have one less female chief executive, reducing the number from 30 to 29.
Regarding her decision to resign Keane said that she is hopeful that her successor will do a good job. She mentioned that it is all part of the growth and is necessary in order to allow young talent to bloom and prosper in their career, to constantly learn and polish their skills so that they can take on bid leadership roles with ease and excellence.
She shared that it is crucial to allow women to lead from high profile corporate positions so that it gives a message of equal opportunity for all and advocates diversity. It also helps in eliminating biases and stigmas and creates a brighter and better future for them.
The company has managed to accomplish big goals and reach new heights of success under her constant guidance and direction. It has launched co-branded credit cards with huge brands like Amazon and Verizon etc. and enjoyed an increase in the price of its shares by almost 60 percent.
She stated that her most proud moment was promoting a corporate culture that focuses on Synchrony Financials norms and values and has played a significant role in getting the company to where it stands today.
She said that future ventures might include having our own little olive farm maybe since we've just finished planting 3000 trees which sounds compelling and captivating.
Keane said that she is ready to embark on a new journey in her life and rather than look after the business will spend more time with family and friends, traveling and exploring the world.

Full swing trading strategy
One of the easiest approaches to trading that is suitable for the average busy person all day is swing trading. It offers plenty of opportunities to make consistent profits from the market and does not require you to spend all your time in front of a computer. Swing trading is the best strategy, which is based on capturing a single major movement in the market. That is, exiting the trade before the price goes into a correction again.
Swing Trading in Kenya
One of the first steps of a trader on his way to success is choosing the style in which he plans to work. More often than not you have to choose between two variants. Swing trading or action trading: which style is better?
Swing trading strategies
Swing trading allows you to profit from price volatility. Rather than getting hung up on a particular time frame, swing traders identify the direction of price movement, open a position and hold it for the duration of the rise/fall. Unlike swing day trading strategies allows trades to be held open for several days or even weeks.
With swing trading, you will enter into a position with a price movement of between 1.5 per cent and 5.0 per cent. This is why we work with instruments with higher volatility.
While choosing a swing trading strategy, the trader should be guided by the support and resistance levels, along with the financial analysis. Without taking into account the fundamentals, there is no way to count on big profits.
Intraday trading (Day Trading)
The main feature of this style is opening and closing all trades during the trading day. It is believed that not a single transaction is carried over to the next day. In fact, this is a false belief. A trader can open an order and leave the most profitable transaction overnight. The difference is that the percentage of such operations will be miserable in relation to the intraday trading.
Day trading requires maximum attention and focus on the chart during the whole working session or at least during the main time intervals. There are many strategies in day trading, but the overall profit is formed from profits from small trades, as in scalping. The advantage of this approach is the low risk of losses. On the other hand, you should not expect large profit from every trade.
By choosing day trading, the trader has to sit in front of the monitor screen and control the price movement and open/close transactions. This style of trading requires rigidity and maximum activity on small timeframes limited to one, five or fifteen minutes.
A swing trading strategy attempts to capture short to medium-term profits from a stock (or any financial instrument) over a period of days to weeks if the trade remains profitable. Swing day trading strategies use technical analysis to identify patterns, trend direction and potential short-term changes in the trend.
Features of swing trading strategies:
- Volatility. High volume generates high volatility. Volatile stocks are a good choice for a swing stock trading strategy, because the trader will profit from large short-term movements.
- Volume. When swing trading, you need to consider volume because large movements over short periods of time are not possible without significant stock volume. In most swing trades, look for stocks with more volume than usual - this is the most important thing.
- Catalyst. Most swing trades start by finding a catalyst that can trigger a powerful stock movement.
A swing trading strategy in Kenya captures small movements within a larger overall trend. Swing traders aim for many small gains which add up to significant profits.
The swing trading strategy focuses on taking smaller profits in short-term trends and reducing losses more quickly. The profits may be smaller, but they are compounded and give excellent returns when there is constant movement.
Swing trading strategies for equities in Kenya
Channel trading
This strategy helps to identify a stock which is showing a strong trend and is trading within a channel. When using channels to swing trade a stock, it is important to trade within the trend.
Support and resistance triggers
Based on support and resistance lines, you can build a successful swing trading strategies stocks. A support level indicates a price level or area on the chart below the current market price where a buy is strong enough to overcome sellers' pressure. A swing stock trader will seek to open a buy trade on a bounce from the support line by placing a stop loss below the support line.
Resistance is a price level where downward pressure from sellers can weaken pressure from buyers, leading to a price reversal against the uptrend. In this situation, a swing trader might open a sell position on a rebound from the resistance by placing a stop loss slightly above the resistance line.
MACD crossing
This indicator is used to determine the direction of a trend and its reversals. The MACD is made up of two moving averages - the MACD line and the signal line - and buy and sell signals are generated when the two lines cross. As soon as the MACD line crosses the signal line, a bullish trend appears, and you should consider opening a buy trade. If the MACD line crosses the signal line, a bearish trend is likely, suggesting you should sell the stock.
Fibonacci Correction
The Fibonacci retracement model allows traders to identify support and resistance levels and possible reversal levels on stock charts. Stocks often tend to pass a certain percentage within a trend before reversing again reversal, and drawing horizontal lines with classic Fibonacci ratios of 23.6%, 38.2% and 61.8% on a stock chart helps show potential reversal levels.
10- and 20-day SMA
One of the most popular swing trading strategies stocks involves the use of simple moving averages (SMAs). SMAs smooth price data by calculating a constantly updated average price, which can be taken over a specific time period or duration.
In a swing trading system with a 10-day and 20-day SMA, you apply two SMAs of that length to a stock chart. When the shorter SMA (10) crosses the longer SMA (20), a buy signal is generated, as this indicates an uptrend. When the shorter SMA crosses below the longer SMA, a sell signal is generated, as this type of SMA crossing indicates a downtrend.
Anyone can become a swing trader in Kenya. Start by understanding what swing trading strategies mean, learn all the basics and then start researching if swing trading is right for you. Try it and you are sure to succeed!
For more advanced swing trading strategies, swing trading can be combined with other technical analysis indicators as well as price action to achieve better results. These tools can help traders understand when to enter or exit a position, where to place stop losses and when to exit a bad swing trade.
Studying swing trading strategies involves focusing on key aspects:
- The point of entry into the trade or where the trader opens the position. There are two approaches that can be used. One is to open a position after price enters a meaningful zone (near levels or a moving average). Or one can wait for a confirmation signal first. Confirmation signals may be: a false-breakout or a pin bar.
- Exit points. There are two rules for determining the market exit points. The first rule is to determine the profit taking target and stop loss level. A stop-loss is a limit order which protects you from further losses when the price moves against your position. Always set your stop loss first. The second rule is to identify both stop-loss and take-profit levels before you risk any capital. Take Profit is a pending order (order) to take profits. Once the price reaches a certain value, this order is triggered and you close your position and take profit. Only at this point you have a neutral view of the market.
The best way to identify exit points is to use support and resistance levels.
Wing trading strategies are popular primarily because they offer the opportunity to gain maximum returns from the financial markets with less effort and time. At the same time, you can work at your main job and not quit your job.

The CARES Act stimulus package substantially relaxed the rules around certain retirement account loan and distribution requirements, but with much confusion. As a result, the IRS recently put out a FAQ document to address the COVID-19 rule relaxation around IRA and 401(k) loans and distributions. This important information should come as welcome news for the nearly one percent of all retirement plan holders who have already taken a distribution under the new rules, according to Fidelity Investments.
Who's eligible?
If you, a spouse or dependent tested positive for COVID-19, you automatically qualify. You also may qualify under less direct circumstances, such as experiencing economic hardship due to being quarantined, laid off, receiving a reduction in work hours or missing work because you don't have childcare. Business owners who are forced to close or reduce operating hours also qualify.
How Much Can I Take Out?
COVID-19 impacted individuals can take up to $100k in distributions without paying the 10 percent penalty imposed on early withdrawals by people under 59½ years old. The $100,000 limit is the total for all the plans you have. For example, if you take $70k out of your 401(k), you can take only up to $30k out of your IRA under these rules. You will still owe taxes on the distributions as ordinary income; however, you are able to pay the taxes owed over a three-year period.
Can I Pay Myself Back?
The law also allows you to pay yourself back. Taxpayers can replace their distributions if they do so within a three-year timeframe. This means that if you take out a distribution in 2020, start to pay the taxes owed over the three-year rule and then pay back the distribution in 2022, you'll be able to amend your 2020 and 2021 returns to get a refund, as well as not pay the tax you would have owed in 2022.
How Do Loans Work?
The maximum amount you can borrow increases from $50,000 to $100,000. You also can borrow the entire amount of your plan balance up to this limit (net of any outstanding loans). Moreover, for any loans you already have within the plan, the due date for payments due through the end of 2020 can be postponed for up to one year.
Is There Anything Else I Should Know?
Yes. First, that there is more guidance coming from the IRS. Second, if you are eager to know what this formal guidance will look like, you can turn to the Hurricane Katrina relief rules from 2005 as this is what is expected will apply for the COVID-19 measures as well. Lastly, the IRS will generate a new form 8915E where taxpayers will report the repayment of COVID-19 covered distributions.
Why Sequence of Returns Risk Matters Now
That year or two when you are closing in on your retirement date, followed by a year or two after you retire, are the worst times for a sustained market decline. Market analysts call this scenario the sequence of returns (SOR) risk – because once your principal has been significantly reduced, there's not enough time in the market left for you to recover those losses.
Two things will likely happen. First, the amount of retirement income you can withdraw each year is irrevocably reduced. For example, if you were planning to withdraw 4 percent a year from a $350,000 portfolio, you would have received a supplementary income of $14,000 a year. But if your principal drops to $280,000 a year, your 4 percent draw will generate only $11,200 a year. If you need that additional money, you will have to increase your draw to about 5 percent of the principal each year.
This leads us to the second consequence of a market decline: your principal will diminish faster. The longer you live, the greater your chances of running out of money.
How Big Is This Problem?
Because the coronavirus pandemic has sent stock markets reeling over the past few months, SOR risk has become a widespread concern. According to research by Spectrem Group, at the end of 2019 there were 11 million millionaires in the United States. By the end of March this year, at least half a million of those people were no longer millionaires.
While losses among millionaires may be disconcerting, the situation is far more dire for middle class investors, who might not have several hundred thousand dollars to spare in their retirement portfolio.

Ben Affleck has been putting on a brave face since he announced his divorce from Jennifer Garner, and in his latest high-profile appearance on Wednesday night, the actor was spotted wearing his wedding ring despite the separation.
Taking to the stage at the ESPY Awards in Los Angeles, Ben was given the honour of presenting retired baseball star Derek Jeter with the Icon Award.
The Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice hunk even managed to crack a joke about heartbreak.
Ben Affleck announced his divorce from Jennifer Garner two weeks ago
"If you're from Boston you always wanted to hate our next honouree," said Ben. "There was something about him that made the boos ring a little hollow. Maybe it was his inimitable class, maybe it was that he won with dignity and lost with grace. Maybe it was simply that we knew no matter what, he was a winner regardless."
The newly-separated actor, who has three children with Jennifer, then went on to joke that Derek had left him heartbroken many times.
The actor was presenting retired baseball star Derek Jeter with the Icon Award
"He broke my heart 100 times, if not more," said Ben. "And he broke it again when he retired, because he was absolutely one of the very best ever to play the game of baseball. So to you Derek Jeter, I tip my hat, and I thank you for every last moment of your incredible career. You made the game better for everyone."
Ben, 42, didn't try to conceal his wedding ring as he gave his speech on stage. The Hollywood star and his estranged wife Jennifer, who has also been wearing her wedding band, announced their shock split at the end of June, just one day after their tenth wedding anniversary.
Ben and Jennifer are still wearing their wedding rings for the sake of their three children
The pair released a statement, writing: "We go forward with love and friendship for one another and a commitment to co-parenting our children whose privacy we ask to be respected during this difficult time."
People previously claimed that Ben and Jennifer are continuing to wear their rings to symbolise their effort to help their three children – Violet, nine, Seraphina, six, and Samuel, three – through the divorce.
While Ben has been promoting his latest superhero flick, Jennifer and the kids have been dividing their time between the family home in LA and Atlanta, where the actress is filming Miracles from Heaven.
Jennifer is "doing great" added another source. "The kids are with her, which is all she wants. She's as strong as ever," said the friend.

Cultural note from the author:
Shiritori is a traditional Japanese word game that everyone in Japan plays, especially during childhood. The name comes from the phrase 尻を取る(Shiri o toru). It literally means "take the rear", and that is the basic rule of the game. One person starts with a word and the next person takes the last letter from that word and uses it to start the next word. The game goes on until someone says the word ending with 'ん' (n), then you lose the game.

Scripture: Jeremiah 30:22
"You shall be my people, and I will be your God."
Spiritual Practice: Making Promises/Covenant
The missed phone call, the coffee date that slipped your mind, the marriage that falls apart, the parent who never returns their kids call. We all fall apart in small or herculean ways.
God practices promise-making with us. From the beginning, God promises, "I will be your God and you will be my people." We don't always live up to our side of the bargain. And you'll find places in scripture where the people of God claim that God too, hasn't lived up to God's side of the covenant (see Noah's ark). But within the work of promise making and promise keeping, there is the practice of forgiveness. No broken promise is too large for God's forgiveness. Stan Mast says when we clothe ourselves in God's love and compassion, we find that our wallet is full of forgiveness. That makes the practice of promise-making that much less intimidating.
What promise do you make to those you love? What promises have you broken? How have you sought repair? What do you need now, so that you can live a life of promise and hope?
Daily Prayer
God of this day and the next,
You promise that you will be with us,
And in doing so, we are strengthened to live our lives in community with one another.
Commit to us again, O Ancient of Days.
Commit to us, so that we might commit to one another.
Forgive us, so that we might forgive one another.
Live your love within us, so that we might live your love in the world.

Research: FTTH finding home in developed countries
Donna Donnowitz
While there have been some promising FTTH deployments taking shape in developing nations around the world, it appears that most of the FTTH revenue raked in by network solutions providers will continue to come from more established economies. This news comes from the latest market forecast supplied by researchers from Analysys Mason, suggesting that FTTH will consistently triumph over alternatives like VDSL in the coming years.
According to Broadcast Engineering, which obtained an advanced copy of the Analysys Mason projections, $44 billion worth of investment will be allocated toward FTTH projects in developed economies between now and 2017. What's more, this substantial spending will represent more than 80 percent of all anticipated fiber rollouts in that time.
Western Europe looks ready to lead the charge in this arena, according to Analysys Mason's projections, accounting for nearly $26 billion in FTTH investment during the next five years. Next-generation access seems to be gaining momentum on the whole across the continent, with a number of European telcos suggesting that they may soon see adoption rates of 25 percent or greater in the covered areas.
Analysys Mason did provide a few caveats to temper this optimism, however. There is a lingering suspicion among telcos that all-out investment in FTTH could put them in an adverse position, allowing cable, TV and 4G mobile network operators to undercut them with a faster rate of innovation.
"Given the as yet untapped potential of copper over short distances, we wonder whether it is really sensible at this stage to take fiber right to people's homes," Analysys Mason lead analyst Rupert Wood told Broadcast Engineering.
Nevertheless, some point solutions like vectoring and bonding have shown early promise for telcos trying to upgrade networks at a comparable pace to their cable competitors. FTTH also seems to have acquired some friends in high places as of late and has garnered a series of important public sector endorsements.
In Canada, for example, the nation's burgeoning FTTH market has been fueled in large part by an ambitious government stimulus package triggered at the depth of economic recession in 2009. According to CircleID columnist Henry Lancaster, the initiative was particularly helpful in getting broadband coverage for rural areas, with the government shouldering up to 50 percent of the costs incurred by telcos. An emerging focus on health IT initiatives and smart grid innovations are also expected to keep the momentum rolling.
Perle has an extensive range of Managed and Unmanaged Fiber Media Converters to extended copper-based Ethernet equipment over a fiber optic link, multimode to multimode and multimode to single mode fiber up to 160km.

The 2018 FIFA World Cup took place this summer in Russia, and it lasted about a month. The group stage games took place from June 14th all the way to June 28th, and the major shocker was how Germany didn't advance to the Round of 16 or the knockout rounds. Germany won the cup in 2014, and the only other year in which they didn't reach the quarter-finals was in 1938. The Round of 16, which occurred from June 30th through July 3rd, was an exciting round filled with some major upsets. On the first day of the knockout round, Argentina and Portugal lost to France and Uruguay, which meant that Messi and Ronaldo were both eliminated. One of the biggest surprises, however, was that the next day Spain, a favorite to win it all, lost to Russia in penalties. The teams that reached the quarter-finals were France, who played Uruguay; Belgium, who played Brazil; England, who played Sweden; and Croatia, who played Russia. Another upset occurred in the World Cup as Brazil was stunned by Belgium 2-1. The semi-finals matchups were France vs Belgium and England vs Croatia. The first game was on July 10th, and it was the France-Belgium game. The lone goal was scored by the French Defenseman Samuel Umtiti in the 51st minute to advance France to the World Cup Final. On July 11th, England played Croatia, and it was very exciting, back and forth game. The action started right away, as Kieran Trippier scored in the 5th minute for England to put them ahead early 1-0. They carried that lead into halftime and even for a while into the second half, until Croatia's Ivan Perisic scored in the 68th minute to tie it. The game went into extra time tied at 1 apiece. In the 109th minute, Mario Mandzukic scored what would turn out to be the game-winner, and it sent them to the title game. The World Cup Final between France and Croatia was very competitive in the beginning, but not so much towards the end of the match. In the 18th minute, Mandzukic scored an own goal for France, and then 10 minutes later, Perisic scored for Croatia to tie it at 1. Then, 10 minutes after that goal, Antoine Griezmann scored for France, and they took a 2-1 lead into halftime. In the second half, teammates Paul Pogba and Kylian Mbappe both scored for France 6 minutes apart, and although Croatia scored another goal, France hung on to win their second ever World Cup, by a score of 4-2. France's first championship was in 1998, where it was played in their home country. The next World Cup, scheduled for 2022, will be hosted by Qatar, and they will become the first Arab state to host the World Cup. The tournament will take place in late fall to early winter, instead of during the summer. France will go for back-to-back championships, but as everyone learned from Germany this year, it will be very tough.

Jarvis Landry returned a punt 69 yards for a touchdown with 10:22 left to give Miami its first lead, and the Dolphins held on to beat the Washington Redskins 17-10 Sunday.
Landry's score broke open a tight game in which the Redskins amassed more yards and dominated the time of possession but could not pull away.
Kirk Cousins went 21 for 31 for 196 yards and two interceptions for Washington. Robert Griffin III was inactive after only recently recovering from a concussion.
Miami trailed 10-0 in the second quarter, cut it to 10-7 at halftime and pulled even with 11:34 remaining when Andrew Franks kicked a 22-yard field goal to cap a 76-yard drive.
The Dolphins then forced a punt. Landry took the ball in the center of the field and darted up the middle, dodging would-be tacklers along the way.
On the ensuing drive, Cousins threw a sideline pass that Dolphins cornerback Brice McCain intercepted at the Miami 2.

75 pipe cleaners in each package. These have embedded grit in the fibers for especially tough cleaning jobs.
Proper care and cleaning are a major factor in the life span of a pipe. Done well and consistently, it can preserve a pipe for generations. Failure to do so will often cause the eventual ruin of even the most well-made pipe. Pipes require a certain amount of care to keep them fresh. Follow these basic rules and you should be able to keep your pipe in good order.
- Rest your pipe between smokes no matter how much you like it.
- Run a pipe cleaner through your pipe after each smoke. It is recommended that you continue to run pipe cleaners through the stem and shank until the cleaner comes out clean. Some people use alcohol to wet the pipe cleaner and dissolve residue; we find that a bit of rum does an admirable job as a solvent and also leaves behind a pleasant aftertaste! When the pipe has cooled, you may gently twist the stem off the bowl and clean more thoroughly.
- If your pipe has a filter, follow the pipe maker's instructions regarding when to replace it or if possible, how to clean it.

At once it is potent and dislocating to see posters of Syrian dictator Bashir al Assad and Hezbollah Islamists politicians plastered in the streets of Sydney. Their incongruousness gives me a sense of the mundane horrible grinding mediocrity that is played out in Australian politics. Instead of reaching for a grander vision, a better way, a sustainable path we get bogged down in the base, the worst aspects of our humanity, the racism, the greed, the self obsessed that Australian elections produce. That's why these posters are so potent. They act as a mirror for what were not and show me what we are. Dislocating for me because it takes me immediately to the Middle East where I spent 5 years.
In Syria the Assad's are everywhere and nowhere. Driving in just before you get to Damascus you're hit with a massive poster on a man made mountain of the holy trinity. The Father, Hafez Al Assad at top, his first son Basil the one that should have been King slightly higher than current President and second son Bashir. Bashir still looks like an eye doctor dressed in dictator's clothes. But savagery of the regime is very real. Dissent is not tolerated and diverging from the official line will get one jailed or killed. One of my favourite stories told to me on my last visit was when Rifat al Assad, brother of Hafez, stood on top of hill outside Hama at dawn drinking Johnny Walker whiskey deciding when to send in the tanks to crush the Muslim Brotherhood. He finished the bottle and gave the command and at the end of the day about 2000 men, women and children were slaughtered. No chance this is going to figure in a 'Keep Walking - Johnny Walker' advert.
There is a favourite joke in Syria when a minnow delivers election results to President Hafez Al Assad and tells the president he got 99.9% of the vote. Assad unmoved responds bring me the 0.1% who didn't vote for me. I saw this mentality in action when reporting at Bashir's first referendum in 2000 I was told by my Syrian minder that his country was the most democratic country in the world and it was of course one man one vote. However when I turned up at the polling stations I filmed men voting 3 or 4 times and one a dozen times. When I asked my minder Mohammad what was going on he looked dismayed but suddenly smiling said they were voting for their wives, sons, daughters, brothers brothers.
On that trip my government appointed minder Mohammad would greet me every day with "Syria is the best country in the world" and "Hafez Al Asad was the most brilliant leader the world has ever seen". Every morning for 14 days this became our ritual until Day 15 when Mohammad meet me in hotel lobby and took me to the car. I was ready for Syria is the best country in the world routine but then he said in a low voice "you have to get me out of Syria NOW! " God knows what was really going on but Mohammad was never going to tell me.
But the power of these posters is that they transcend my experience and go some way to smashing stereotypes both ways – Australian and Middle Eastern. Thank you Scratch My Nose for reminding me of the life and death nature of Middle East politics and clarifying the slow boring crawl of the Australian scene. A dialogue is started with text like 'Vote 1 - Mr Sheen. Member for Aussie Aussie Aussie. Woy Woy Woy'. Say no more.

Many in Christian organisations desire to serve the Lord with their best but struggle with insecurities and their picture of who God is and what He thinks of them. Having worked with Carol, Harry and Wendy on a major leadership development project, I know their hearts' desire is for every Christian leader to find their identity and motivation, not in what they do for Jesus or what impressive statistics they produce, but alone in what Christ has already done for them. I warmly recommend these resources. I am confident they will help you assess your own walk with God and as a result, lead you to know true intimacy with God and be effective in your leadership of others.
I was privileged to hear teaching on the topic of intimacy with God in early 2015. Since then, I can confidently say that intimacy with God has become the core of my walk with the Lord. To be taught that the key is not about what I can do and how I can serve but rather deepening my intimacy with God has been revolutionary and transformational and has been a path of healing from ministry burn-out in 2014. I am now flourishing in ministry and able to share these ideas with those I minister to. If you find that you are struggling spiritually, come get watered by these courses on intimacy with God!

WARSAW, KOMPAS.com - Dozens of authors, artists, and scholars have condemned the suppression of LGBT rights in Poland by the country's President and other politicians.
Writer Margaret Atwood and film directors Pedro Almodóvar and Mike Leigh are among those that voiced their support of Polish LGBT rights.

"Homophobic aggression in Poland is growing because it is condoned by the ruling party, which has chosen sexual minorities as a scapegoat with no regard for the safety and well-being of citizens," the letter said.
The letter, dated Monday, comes amid a bitter cultural clash in Poland, where calls for greater rights for LGBT people have been met with a furious backlash from the powerful Roman Catholic church and the right-wing ruling party, Law and Justice.
President Andrzej Duda, a party ally, won a tight reelection in July after a campaign vowing to defend the country's traditional Catholic identity.
