I’M JUST LEARNING TRADING and I thought it will be good to share with fellow newbies what I have learnt so far.
In the past, trading was a job done only by individuals or rather professionals working in big financial institutions, trading houses and brokerages. However, technology advancement has made it possible for anyone to learn and start trading at the comfort of their houses and in this case,
“You can trade from the comfort of your home”
If done right, I have come to find out that Day trading can be a very rewarding job. However, it is very challenging to start and you should never give up unless you know when it’s the right time to give up as outlined in this article;
Day trading is a form of speculation in securities in which a trader buys and sells a financial instrument within the same trading day, so that all positions are closed before the market closes for the trading day to avoid unmanageable risks and negative price gaps between one day’s close and the next day’s price at the open. Traders who trade in this capacity are generally classified as speculators. Day trading contrasts with the long-term trades underlying buy and hold and value investing strategies. Day trading can be considered a form of gambling.
Day traders are attuned to events that cause short-term market moves. Trading based on the news is a popular technique. Scheduled announcements such as economic statistics, corporate earnings, or interest rates are subject to market expectations and market psychology. Markets react when those expectations are not met or are exceeded–usually with sudden, significant moves–which can greatly benefit day traders.
Day traders use numerous intraday strategies. These strategies include:
Scalping: this strategy attempts to make numerous small profits on small prices changes throughout the day
Range trading: this strategy primarily uses support and resistance levels to determine buy and sell decisions.
News-based trading: this strategy typically seizes trading opportunities from the heightened volatility around news events
High-frequency trading (HFT): these strategies use sophisticated algorithms to exploit small or short-term market inefficiencies
What you need to be a successful day trader

Sufficient knowledge and experience in the market
Enough capital
A good strategy

Naseeb Abdul aka Diamond Platnumz is dating, its proven. The lady is a south African model by the name Andrea Abrahams.
Diamond has been a very controversial artist especially in her romantic relationships. After ending things with Kenyan singer Tanasha Donna, he decided to keep it low and since then her relationship life has been on the low.
However, in a recent interview, Diamond Claimed that it took him 9 years for Andrea to fall for him.
“I started wooing her in 2013, she took me round in circles and only accepted me last year.” Diamond said during an interview.
Rumours about them dating came about days after Diamond left South Africa, where he had been staying for three weeks while recording his upcoming album.
In an interview with Wasafi FM, Diamond noted “She is perfect, very perfect like very. She knows how to live peacefully with my family and with no drama at all.”
A week ago, South African woman shocked the world after she successfully delivered ten babies. Unfortunately, just when South Africans and the world were still absorbing this news, the story has taken a new and surprising turn.
Sad Twist
Gosiame Thamara Sithole, a lucky mother of the ten babies is alleged to just a sidechick to the man who is believed to have fathered the children. The man was also believed to be her husband.
According to information by different media outlets in South Africa, the man whose identity was given as Teboho Tsotsetsi is married to another woman.
Despite the fact that she was not his wife, but just a mistress, it is also reported that Gosiame’s pregnancy was not an easy journey as she was being mistreated by Tsotsetsi. The problem started when he was informed that Gosiame was expecting more than one child.
When contacted by the journalists, Tsotsetsi’s wife, Sibongile Gxekwa declined to address the media, citing that her husband had warned her against speaking about the issue after it was reported that Gosiame delivered ten babies
She said, “He ordered me not to speak.”
The reports also have it that Gosiame also reportedly rejection from her own family members. It is said that her family was not happy with her for getting pregnant out of wedlock.
They were also concerned about the effects media would have on Gosiame’s mental health. Media turned to be a problem to the family based on how Gosiame’s delivery became a topic of discussion, not only in South Africa, but across the world.
Gosiame’s huge blessings was confirmed by South Africa’s Department of Social Development in Gauteng on June 9, 2021. Department’s spokesperson Feziwe Ndwayana confirmed the safety of the mother and her children, indicating that they had moved them to a safe place.
People are taught to fight, backed up with the phrase “never give up”. I know you have been taught to be determined and never to give up on your dreams. However, they didn’t teach you when to give up, how to forget and start a new chapter in life.
Many people, inclusive of myself have been stuck in same old shit with the hope that one day I will wake up and things will be different. I don’t know why I’m certain in my mind as I am writing this article that the same thing happens to you. You can be a good singer, actor, poet etc… however, being good is not enough, so like others you wake up every Monday morning go for auditions but still your brand doesn’t grow, no one knows your name and as a result you get zero gigs.
Similar thing happens to job seekers, you can hunt for jobs for months or even years but every interview doesn’t result to employment. However, since we are told never to give up, you keep on pressing until it’s too late, midlife crisis kicks in and you are left depressed.
When is the right time to give up?
When you are running out of time
When pursuing your goal is making you really, really unhappy.
When you are no longer interested
When you don’t have the resources to succeed
When you are worried of what others might think when you give up
When your inability to accomplish your goal is making you hate yourself
Looking at popular names since time immemorial, their advice has always been, never give up.
Vince Lombardi once said,
“Winners never quit, and quitters never win.”
Is this really true. According to me, there are moments when loosing is winning and quitting can be the best thing to do.
Nelson Mandela also said that
“It always seems impossible until it’s done.”
Have you ever taken time and just figured out that it can be just impossible and maybe it can never be done. Knowing when something is impossible doesn’t make you a quitter, loser or lazy, On the contrary, it makes you smart. You are smart enough to know that you are not in a position to go against the odds.
The phrase never give up has been fed to us since we were children thus making it hard for us to have a different view of pursuing our dreams.
I have read and observed the world keenly and I tell you my brother, I tell you my sister, there is a very important lesson we missed while growing up.
There are many strategies you can use in life to just make it and be like other rich people, other happy people or successful. I would like to insist that what I am writing about is largely about financial and career success but it can also be other forms of success like just being contented with what you have or where you are.
Back to the main question, when should someone give up. This subject is very challenging and I have to be honest, this is an open discussion on the comment section since I don’t have a perfect answer for it. However, the first step to know when to give up is coming up with timelines.
In whatever you plan, always ensure that you have a timeline. For instance, let’s say that you are looking for a job. If you graduated in the year 2021, create a timeline, for example, write it in your diary;
I’ll hunt for a job of my dream which is blab la bla… for seven years and in the case whereby by then I will not have that job I will resolve to alternative B, C or D.
Coming up with a timeline or rather deadlines is an answer to the question “When is the appropriate time to give up?” If I gave this article to Thomas Edison, he would have rejected and provided counter arguments such as:
Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.
Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
On the contrary, I would have argued. Edison and his team tried thousands of different things prior to settling on tungsten filaments for the light bulbs which turned out into an industrial empire.
Therefore, if these great figures whose moral lessons is to never give up gave up on so many things before finding the right thing, who are you to keep doing just one thing and expecting better results each time.
Keep in mind, I am not telling you to give up easily on what you are doing. The decision to give up should not be an easy one. It has to be well thought and smartly decided.
Every time you are engaged in an activity that is part of your vision, bear in mind “what is the actual thing that you really want”. Do you want a successful business or what you want is to get rich. In many instances, the answer is getting rich because what a successful business brings is wealth. Therefore, there are many ways one can be wealthy and there are many businesses one can do and eventually become rich.
Therefore, it is good and smart to consider alternatives. If something is not working out, give it a deadline and when the deadline passes without success, you can opt to putting it aside and focusing on something else. When you become successful at one thing, believe me it will be easy to make other dreams that you had come true.

Kenyan singer Wilson Radido better known as Willy Paul has finally come out to explain reasons behind his unexpected switch from gospel to secular. His switch comes at a time many have raised questions about the kind of music ‘gospel singers’ produce and their lifestyle in general.
A good number of those who started in gospel her shockingly crossed the floor to secular. His explanation comes a time when Kevin Bahati, another gospel singer also seem to be on his way to secular.
The Mama song hitmaker has been making headlines after he recorded himself in a video smoking cigarette. The picture uploaded on his social media accounts on Friday, 11th June night is also a clear show he is moving to secular.
Well, should Bahati decide to cross the floor, he will be following Willy Paul’s footsteps. His move has been questioned by many. While setting up records clear, Paul started by reporting to his fans that the move was taken based on depression he was going through.
Through a very long post he shared on his social media platforms, Willy Paul cited hatred from those he thought would be there for him. Part of his statement read;
”Some of you ask me why I left the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.. and even call me names because I nolonger praise Jesus in my songs.. according to them I’m so evil and everything bad. Those are the same people that fought me nikiwa upande wa Yesu. Reasons as to why I left. Hate from my fellow artists and Djs, luck of airplay ( claiming my content wasn’t Godly back then ) ubaguzi na mapendeleo.”
He went on to add that he was a top artist in the gospel industry, sadly, his haters did not see that. This act broke him further, left him depressed, situation he had to battle with for four good months.
The singer cited that it reached a point where he had nothing to feed his family with. He lamented that everything he went through was never right for anyone serving God.
It was at this point that Willy decided to try his luck in the secular industry, a step he says he is not regretting. He reported that he is currently stable and more importantly, he chose to be real to himself and to his fans.
Many artists have moved from gospel to secular and vice versa, all looking for better ground to earn a living while others are moving to for different reasons. Gospel singer Size 8 is among the big names who have taken a similar step.

Solving love equation has never been an easy task. It is a mystery that only the individuals involved can understand. Content creator Elodie Zone and her musician boyfriend have now shown that everything is possible, and actions are always more important than words.
Well, after a crazy weekend, full of allegations and accusations, the two lovebirds are together once again. This new development has also brought to an end the drama that followed their alleged breakup.
In the wake of their breakup, the young YouTuber exposed her boyfriend, who is also a member of Sol Generation, accusing him of not only abusing her verbally, but also physically. A move that she must be regretting now was picked up by different bloggers and social media users, all painting Nviiri irresponsible and abusive.
In a new twist of events, Elodie is now blaming her actions of alcohol. Whether she will get herself off the hook and win her boyfriend’s trust is another big question altogether.
Being a judge here will not be fair though. She has taken the step to right the wrongs, sharing a post on her social media accounts, indicating that she is back with her boyfriend. She added that they even traveled together to the coast.
She explained, “Nviiri and I came to coast with our friend to unwind, relax and make peace with each other. When I made my post it was fueled by tension and an afternoon of a few too many drinks.”
She tried maintaining her innocence, citing that they never thought the whole issue would be blown out of proportion. She went on to attack bloggers who she is now accusing of spreading misinformation, which in turn is affecting their careers and family lives.
This seem to be just a ceasefire statement from her, as her post went on to show that they have decided to move foward with full respect and peace.
During this period, she added that their plan is to majorly focus on their lives. She also appealed to those attacking her and her boyfriend to be a little more considerate. In a show of regret, she ended her post by offering an apology for tarnishing the image of their relationship.

Tanzania is preparing to roll out Covid-19 vaccine following a team of experts report presented to President Samia Suluhu.
The report was presented to President Suluhu on Friday by the team that was tasked with evaluating the Covid-19 pandemic situation in the country in April.
The team led by Prof Said Aboud also recommended that the country continues releasing Covid-19 statistics, which was stopped by the late President Dr John Pombe Magufuli. By the time the country stopped releasing the statistics, Tanzania had 509 cases of Covid-19.
“The committee has advised different ways of mobilising financial resources from the budget and other stakeholders including international organisations and the private sector,” said the State House in a statement signed by the Presidency spokesperson Gerson Msigwa.
“The money will be used to finance medical equipment, training and the vaccines,” stated Mr Msigwa.
Tanzania was among six countries that had ignored calls to roll out Covid-19 vaccine. Others include North Korea, Haiti, Chad, Burundi and Eritrea.
President Suluhu has directed the Minister for Health, Community Development, Gender, Elderly and Children, Dr Dorothy Gwajima, to prepare a presentation that will be discussed by the Cabinet that will make decision about the committee’s recommendations.
The President has also allowed foreign embassies and other international organisations to import vaccines for their people and employees.
