[Home](https://thetraderwiki.com/en/) › [About TheTraderWiki](https://thetraderwiki.com/en/about/) › [Gabriel L.](https://thetraderwiki.com/en/authors/gabriel-l/) My pages cover how traders read a market and how they act on what they see. The pages explain technical analysis, indicators and chart patterns, and go into fundamental analysis and the economic calendar. You’ll also find trading strategies, styles and risk management there. I write the practical guides too: trading platforms, MetaTrader, copy trading, prop firms, choosing a provider, account types and demo accounts. The glossary and FAQ are mine as well. ## Pages written - [Technical analysis](https://thetraderwiki.com/en/technical-analysis/): Chart types, trend, support and resistance, why every indicator lags, and why good backtests mislead. - [Technical indicators](https://thetraderwiki.com/en/technical-indicators/): RSI, MACD, moving averages, Bollinger Bands, ATR, ADX, VWAP and Fibonacci: formula, settings, weakness. - [Chart patterns](https://thetraderwiki.com/en/chart-patterns/): Candlestick and chart patterns in words: what each looks like, what it’s taken to mean, and the evidence. - [Fundamental analysis](https://thetraderwiki.com/en/fundamental-analysis/): What drives each market, the economic calendar, central banks, earnings, commodity supply, and news trading. - [Economic calendar](https://thetraderwiki.com/en/economic-calendar/): How to read a calendar row, the releases that move markets, who publishes them, and what happens to spreads. - [Trading strategies](https://thetraderwiki.com/en/trading-strategies/): Trend following, mean reversion, breakout, carry and hedging: what each needs, how each fails, and expectancy. - [Trading styles](https://thetraderwiki.com/en/scalping-day-trading-and-swing-trading/): Scalping, day trading, swing and position trading by holding time, what each costs, and hedging in forex. - [Forex signals](https://thetraderwiki.com/en/forex-signals/): What a trading signal contains, who sells them, how to check a track record, and what regulators say. - [Risk management](https://thetraderwiki.com/en/risk-management/): Risk per trade, sizing from your stop, the recovery table, stop types and the habits that empty accounts. - [Trading platforms](https://thetraderwiki.com/en/trading-platforms/): What differs between MT4, MT5, cTrader, TradingView and providers’ own platforms, and what to check first. - [MetaTrader 4 and 5](https://thetraderwiki.com/en/metatrader-4-and-5/): What MT4 and MT5 are, how they differ, where to download them safely, and how TradeLocker and cTrader compare. - [Expert advisors](https://thetraderwiki.com/en/expert-advisors-and-automated-trading/): What an expert advisor is, why backtests flatter a forex trading robot, what a VPS does, and scam warnings. - [Copy trading](https://thetraderwiki.com/en/copy-trading/): How an account mirrors another trader, what it costs, where it goes wrong, and how regulators class it. - [Prop firms](https://thetraderwiki.com/en/prop-firms/): How a prop firm challenge works, how the firms earn, why most people fail and what regulators have said. - [Choosing a provider](https://thetraderwiki.com/en/choosing-a-provider/): Licence checks, how your money is protected, all-in costs, execution, withdrawals and red flags. - [Beyond the market count](https://thetraderwiki.com/en/more-than-markets/): Leverage, protection, costs, execution and account terms: what shapes a trade more than a market count. - [Account types](https://thetraderwiki.com/en/trading-account-types/): Standard, raw spread, swap-free, demo and professional accounts, and what each one really changes. - [Is trading safe?](https://thetraderwiki.com/en/is-forex-and-cfd-trading-safe/): Legal in most countries, risky everywhere: how to tell a real product from a fraud, country by country. - [Demo accounts](https://thetraderwiki.com/en/demo-accounts/): What a demo copies and leaves out, how to set one up like a real account, a practice plan, and when to stop. - [Glossary](https://thetraderwiki.com/en/glossary/): Seventy trading terms from ask price to volatility, each explained in plain words and linked onward. - [FAQ](https://thetraderwiki.com/en/faq/): Twenty-five short answers on the basics, costs, risk, the rules and getting started. ## Related pages - [About TheTraderWiki](https://thetraderwiki.com/en/about/): What the site is, how it is funded, what it does not do, and how to reach it. - [How we choose the brokers we compare](https://thetraderwiki.com/en/how-we-choose-brokers/): The six criteria a broker group must meet to be compared here, and what we found for each one. --- CFDs are complex, leveraged products, and the regulators’ own figures show that most retail accounts lose money. Nothing on TheTraderWiki is investment advice. Read the full [risk disclosure](https://thetraderwiki.com/en/risk-disclosure/), and if you’re unsure, talk to a qualified adviser. Broker details can change and they can be wrong. Before you open an account, confirm them with the broker and the regulator’s register.
