Ideanomics Increases Its Stake in e-Tractor Company Solectrac- Electric tractors are poised to disrupt the $75 billion global agricultural tractor industry NEW YORK, Nov. 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Ideanomics (NASDAQ: IDEX) ("Ideanomics" or the "Company") announces that it has increased its stake in California-based Solectrac, Inc. through a follow-on investment of an additional $1.3 million. This additional investment reflects investment interest in Solectrac by ESG funds which is expected to close in the coming weeks. As a reminder, on October 22, 2020, the Company announced that it acquired 14.7% of Solectrac, Inc. for the consideration of $1.3 million. Since this announcement, Solectrac experienced an increase in product and investment inquiries. This recent investment increases Ideanomics ownership to 24%, which will reduce to approximately 22% post-money once the additional third-party investment is finalized. The new investment by Ideanomics allows Ideanomics to increase its share of ownership sufficiently to recognize its stake in Solectrac under the equity method for US GAAP accounting purposes. We believe Solectrac has enormous potential and, given the uptick in both product inquiries and investment interest they are seeing, we exercised our rights to increase our stake so we can help Solectrac scale to meet anticipated market demand ," said Alf Poor, CEO of Ideanomics. Solectrac develops, assembles and distributes 100% battery-powered electric tractors—an alternative to diesel tractors—for agriculture and utility operations. finance.yahoo.com

Pennant pattern on AMD / Long perspective and some theoryToday we have a long set up to share on the Stock Market. Here you will have a full explanation of it. a) What is a continuation pattern? A continuation pattern is a structure that comes after a bullish or bearish movement. The main characteristic is that is a sideways period that tends to have 3 forms a) Zig-Zag (also known as a flag, pennants), Triangles ( composed by an ABCDE), and Flats (literally are rectangles structures) b) When we spot a corrective structure (in an appropriate context), we can project the coming movement using Fibonacci Extensions c) Here, we can see 2 corrective structures on the same chart. The one we are interested in right now is the current pennant pattern d) If we have a breakout of the structure above B, we expect a continuation movement towards the 2nd Fibonacci Extension e) When trading these structures, Orders can be set above B (if we are in a bullish scenario). The stop should be set below C, and the Target can be set using Fibonacci Extensions as we explained before f) Remember that another key aspect of trading is Risk Management. If you are about to trade, define a specific risk according to your account. Trade safe and protect your capital!

NAS100 BANKED 3.5% ON THE BUY + SELL TRADE RUNNING +1%NAS100 previous and current trade using our stocks strategy NO analysis, NO zones, NO trend lines... just buy on a buy alert and sell on a sell alert. OUR STRATEGY EXPLAINED: The entry price, SL and multiple TPs are shown on the chart. Our back testing and money management strategy itself is holding until a reverse signal to ride a big trend, but as you will not see the next signal - manage the trade as you wish should you decide to enter. What is our strategy? Our strategy is a trend following strategy, can be used on any instrument and time frame. However, we have hard coded specific parameters for when trading the H1 time frame, so we can back up over 4200 previous trades to confirm our edge from previous data. This gives us confidence in execution and belief in our trading strategy for the long term. The strategy simply sits in your trading view, so you will see exactly what we see - the trade, entry price, SL and multiple TPs (although we hold until opposite trade as this is the most profitable longer term plan), lot size, etc. This could be on your phone trading view app, or laptop of course. The hard work is done, so we have zero chart work time, no analysis, no time front of the chart doing technical analysis - technical analysis is very subjective - you may see different things at different times - how do you have a rigid trading plan on a H&S shoulder pattern? Your daily routine, diet, sleep, exercise can affect what you 'see' and your decision making, this doesn't happen when a strategy is coded like this; what we do have is a mechanical trading strategy... What does this mean? It means, we are very clear on our entry and our exit and use strict risk management (this is built in - put in your account size, set your risk in % or fixed amount and it will tell you what lot size to trade!) so we have no ego with our position and we are comfortable with all outcomes - its simply just another trade. This free's our mindset from worry and anxiety as we take confidence from knowing our edge is there and also that we have used sensible risk management. The strategy itself can be used as a live trading journal too - how cool is that? The strategy will confirm and support every open and closed position - so its quite easy to follow. We just have to do what Percy does. Please see our related ideas below for more information to explain what we do and how it can help you.
