CÁC LOẠI LỆNH GIAO DỊCH CƠ BẢN TRONG FOREX

Khi các bạn giao dịch Forex trên các nền tảng hỗ trợ giao dịch, bạn sẽ cần phải biết tất cả các loại lệnh này để áp dụng phù hợp với chiến lược của chính bạn.To get more news aboutbuy/sell forex là gì, you can visit wikifx.com official website.
  1. Lệnh thị trường – Market Execution
  Lệnh thị trường hay Market Execution là lệnh mua/bán ngay tại thời điểm giá đang hiển thị trên biểu đồ. Khi bạn đặt lệnh, sẽ khớp lệnh tức thì.
2. Các lệnh chờ – Pending Order
  Các lệnh chờ hay còn gọi là Pending Order gồm có: Buy limit, Sell limit, Buy stop, Sell stop và Trailing stop.
2.1 Buy Limit
  Buy Limit là lệnh chờ mua với giá thấp hơn giá hiện tại. Ví dụ, giá mua XAU/USD hiện tại là 1455.748, bạn đặt lệnh Buy Limit ở mức giá 1450.000 thì khi giá thị trường giảm xuống mức 1450.000 sẽ khớp lệnh mua.
  2.2 Buy Stop
  Buy Stop là lệnh chờ mua với giá cao hơn giá hiện tại. Tương tự giá mua hiện tại như trên, bạn đặt lệnh Buy Stop ở mức giá 1460.000 thì khi giá thị trường tăng lên mức 1460.000 sẽ khớp lệnh mua
  2.3 Sell Limit
  Sell Limit là lệnh chờ bán với giá cao hơn giá hiện tại. Ví dụ, giá bán XAUUSD hiện tại là 1455.388, bạn đặt lệnh Sell Limit ở mức giá 1460.000 thì khi giá thị trường tăng lên mức 1460.000 sẽ khớp lệnh bán.
  2.4 Sell Stop
  Sell Stop là lệnh chờ bán với mức giá thấp hơn giá hiện tại. Tương tự với giá bán hiện tại như trên, bạn đặt lệnh Sell Stop ở mức giá 1450.000 thì khi giá thị trường giảm xuống mức 1450.000 sẽ khớp lệnh sell.
3. Một số lệnh cơ bản khác
  - Lệnh Stop limit và Take Profit
  Đây là các loại lệnh dùng để quản lý vốn một cách hiệu quả nhất. Có rất nhiều bạn thường bỏ qua 2 loại bệnh này, vì nghĩ rằng sẽ thực hiện theo cách thủ công nên không cần đặt cắt lỗ và chốt lời trước khiến gì. Theo quan điểm của chúng tôi thì đây là một nghĩ suy hoàn toàn sai lầm.
  Bởi nếu như không đặt các lệnh này trước, bạn thường không đủ can đảm để cắt lệnh lúc giá đã đi quá xa so với dự tính. Điều này dẫn đến việc là các bạn sẽ buộc phải gồng lỗ một cách bất khả kháng. Thế nên thà "đau một lần rồi thôi” ngay từ đầu khi chuẩn bị vào lệnh, các bạn buộc phải đặt những mức cắt lỗ, chốt lời trước, để nếu như giá có thực sự chạy tới đó, sàn sẽ tự động thay bạn làm việc này. Và như thế cũng sẽ đỡ đớn đau hơn rộng rãi so với việc bạn tự phải tự tay cắt lệnh.
  Đây là một lệnh siêu thú vị, một dạng lệnh "động” luôn vận động cùng chiều theo biến động của giá, là sự kết hợp giữa lệnh stop loss và take profit. Lệnh này thường được sử dụng lúc mà bạn khởi đầu có lãi, để không chỉ bảo toàn vốn của mình mà còn giúp bạn thu được lợi nhuận tối đa. Nghĩa là, khi giá đi theo hướng có lợi thì điểm dừng lỗ của bạn cũng được dịch chuyển theo, giữ một khoảng cách nhất định, tùy theo số píp bạn đặt.

AUD/USD Outlook Mired by Deviating Paths Between RBA & FOMC

AUD/USD trades to a fresh monthly low (0.7274) as US Retail Sales unexpectedly increases 0.7% in August, and the exchange rate may face a further decline ahead of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) interest rate decision on September 22 as the central bank appears to be on track to scale back monetary support.To get more news aboutaxitrader, you can visit wikifx.com official website.
  The FOMC may layout a tentative exit strategy as the rise in household consumption indicates a robust recovery, and the update to the Summary of Economic Projections (SEP) may heighten the appeal of the US Dollar if Fed officials show a greater willingness to normalize monetary policy sooner rather than later.
  Meanwhile, the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) seems to be on a preset course as the central bank plans to carry out its government bond purchase program at a pace of A$4B a week "until at least mid February 2022,” and Governor Philip Lowe and Co. may keep the door open to further support the economy as job growth contracts for the second time this year.
  In turn, the diverging paths for monetary policy may keep AUD/USD under pressure as Fed officials project two rate hikes for 2023, but a further decline in the exchange rate may fuel the recent flip in retail sentiment like the behavior seen earlier this year.
  The IG Client Sentiment report shows 54.01% of traders are currently net-long AUD/USD, with the ratio of traders long to short standing at 1.17 to 1.
  The number of traders net-long is 2.69% lower than yesterday and 7.65% higher from last week, while the number of traders net-short is 3.83% lower than yesterday and 11.05% lower from last week. The rise in net-long interest has fueled the recent flip in retail sentiment as 51.12% of traders were net-long AUD/USD earlier this week, while the decline in net-short position comes as the exchange rate trades to a fresh monthly low (0.7274).
  With that said, the rebound from the August low (0.7106) may turn out to be a correction in the broader trend as it trades back below the 50-Day SMA (0.7347), and the exchange rate may continue to trade to fresh monthly lows ahead of the Fed rate decision as it snaps the opening range for September.

The major companies that accept crypto as payment

Cryptocurrencies are never far from the headlines these days. If it‘s not news that the value of Bitcoin has reached a record high of $60,000 (€50,500) for the first time, it’s news that Tesla founder Elon Musk is investing billions in it.To get more news aboutax forex, you can visit wikifx.com official website.
  While buying and selling cryptos is becoming increasingly mainstream, the opportunities to spend virtual currencies are somewhat limited in comparison due to its volatility.
  There are, however, a growing number of companies across a plethora of industries - from big tech to airlines - who are embracing cryptocurrencies, allowing customers to use them as an official method of payment for their goods and services.
  Here are some of the biggest and more well-known companies using and accepting cryptos.
Pavilion Hotels & Resorts
  As the latest company to permit crypto transactions, the Hong Kong-based Pavilion Hotels & Resorts group has also become the first international hotel chain to embrace virtual currency payments.
  The group - which owns properties in Amsterdam, Madrid, Lisbon, and Rome as well as Bali and Phuket - will accept bookings using 40 different tokens, including Bitcoin and Ethereum from July through their partnership with payment platform Coindirect.
As of the start of April, the insurance broker behemoth will allow customers in Switzerland to use Bitcoin as a payment option for their bills. The decision to embrace cryptocurrencies has been in the pipeline since market research conducted by the company in 2019 found that nearly a third of respondents aged 18 to 55 had either already invested in them or were interested in doing so.
  Customers will now have a reference code printed on bills for non-life insurance policies in order to pay their premiums through crypto exchange Bitcoin Suisse which will then convert them into Swiss Francs.
Microsoft
  As one of the largest software companies in the world, it is significant that Microsoft accepts Bitcoin payments, going some way to instill a degree of confidence in using cryptos. Redeemed for credit in topping up user accounts, Bitcoin can be used to pay for an array of services, including Xbox Live and Skype.
  The company‘s interest in crypto technology doesn’t end there. Utilising blockchain, Microsoft has also launched ION, a two-layered authentication platform on the Bitcoin network in late March. Instead of payments, the technology creates digital IDs to authenticate online identities.
Starbucks
  Following an extensive trial, Starbucks customers can now use the new Bakkt app to pay for drinks and goods at the coffee chain with converted Bitcoin. According to the apps creators, 500,000 people took up the invitation-only, early access programme to test the digital wallet as a method of payment.
Tesla
  The CEO of electric carmaker Tesla Elon Musk has an up and down relationship with Bitcoin. Initially, the company announced earlier this year that it would accept Bitcoin payments for vehicle purchases in the US. It comes off the back of a $1.5 billion (€1.2 billion) investment in the cryptocurrency by Elon Musks company in February. However, this has now been turned on its head with pronouncements that Tesla will put Bitcoin transactions on hold until more than 50 per cent of tokens are mined using renewable energy.
It was reported earlier this year that Amazon was joining the ranks of other tech giants, including Facebook, in laying the groundwork for its own exclusive cryptocurrency. That said, the e-commerce company doesnt directly accept cryptos yet. You can, however, buy Amazon vouchers through crypto-only company Bitrefill, a platform that makes living on cryptocurrencies easier by converting Bitcoin into gift cards, refill phones, and so on.
Visa
  Credit card company Visa confirmed at the end of March that it was piloting a scheme with platform Crypto.com to accept cryptocurrency to settle transactions on its payment network. It will now accept USD Coin (USDC), a stablecoin crypto that is pegged to the value of the US dollar.
PayPal
  Following an announcement in October last year, PayPal users in the US can now buy, sell or hold a select few cryptos, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash, and Litecoin. In addition, you‘ll be able to track cryptocurrencies through the PayPal app. The only drawback is that money can’t be transferred out of the companys digital wallet.
  In August, the company announced that users in the UK can now also trade in Ether, Litecoin and Bitcoin Cash on PayPal's website and mobile app.
  So far, PayPal is tight-lipped about whether it intends to expand the service to other countries.

Your child’s eyesight is precious. While it might be cool to look like a favorite cartoon character or movie monster, you should weigh the pros and cons with your child. Finally, the most important thing when it comes to contacts for kids is to consult your optometrist.Lupita Nyong’o brought the terror from the big screen to the red carpet at the London premiere of Jordan Peele’s new horror masterpiece, "Us,” on Thursday night.

The Oscar-winning star donned black lipstick, the smokiest of smoky eye makeup and ― most shocking of all ― eerie red contact lenses. The look may be a nod to her character’s terrifying doppelgänger in the film, aptly named "Red.”She paired her daring makeup with diamond-pronged earrings and a shimmering, red, black-and-gold sequined dress by the Italian street-style brand Attico.

"We wanted to avoid pretty red carpet looks and be more experimental, taking wicked beauty ideas from fierce women in ’80s music videos who really played with makeup that echoed their strong powerful attitude,” Barose told the outlet.

Us” is Nyong’o’s first foray into the horror genre. During a recent interview on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” Nyong’o described the flick as a "nightmare from Jordan Peele’s mind.”

World of Warcraft Player Makes Incredible Sylvanas Cosplay

Despite the recent gender discrimination lawsuit and its associated controversy, World of Warcraft continues to be a very popular MMO filled with iconic characters that are still receiving fan-made tributes. One World of Warcraft fan is in the process of piecing together an incredible cosplay of Sylvanas Windrunner, the former leader of the Forsaken and the Horde itself.To get more news aboutlootwow, you can visit lootwow.com official website.

Originally introduced in Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos, Sylvanas was once a hero of the high elves who battled the Death Knight Arthas Menethil. When he finally overwhelmed her, he resurrected her as a banshee in revenge for the trouble she’d caused him. As the Lich King lost control over the undead Forsaken, Sylvanas regained control of herself and turned against him, joining the Horde and struggling to preserve her new people.
Redditor sarahdeanmakesthings is putting together an incredibly intricate game-accurate cosplay of Sylvanas in her well-known Forsaken design. The armor is both complete and stunning, and though the outfit is missing a few elements – specifically, body paint, eyebrows, and contacts – the character is still immediately recognizable. Over the course of a year, sarahdeanmakesthings has meticulously constructed ornate armored boots, leggings, and gloves as well as enormous, skull-bedecked pauldrons.

The cosplay also features long white hair, a quiver, a ragged red cloak, pointed ears, and one of World of Warcraft’s notorious armored bikini tops. She also wears armored blue heels with the same pattern as her leg armor and what appears to be a torc around her neck. According to sarahdeanmakesthings, the boots were the most difficult part to figure out – they’re pleather boot covers worn over regular heels and black leggings – a clever way to capture the physics-defying look of World of Warcraft characters in a cosplay. The whole outfit has a very particular style of shading applied to the paint, making her look a bit like a life-sized Warhammer miniature. As the Warcraft franchise drew inspiration from the Warhammer franchise, this connection may make a good deal of sense.

As of writing, the cosplay appears to be very well received by fans. Not only have Sylvanas fans appreciated the incredible level of detail put into the outfit, they applaud sarahdeanmakesthings for capturing Sylvanas’ sardonic but dangerous body language. One fan even noted that without the blue body paint, the cosplayer resembled Sylvanas in life. It’s often difficult to bring World of Warcraft character designs to life, but sarahdeanmakesthings has done a great job recreating Sylvanas, even without the undead flair.

Twitch Streamer Asmongold Criticizes Latest World of Warcraft Update

Activision Blizzard has been sued by the state of California for various reasons, including discrimination towards women. Recent changes to World of Warcraft reduce the objectification of women in-game, but Twitch streamer Asmongold has a critical take on the update.To get more news aboutwow gold pay pal, you can visit lootwowgold official website.

Popular Twitch streamer Asmongold recently went on the record to discuss a new update to World of Warcraft. This update included several changes for the game including new character options and better weather effects for the major cities of Orgrimmar for the Horde and Stormwind for the Alliance. Another major change to World of Warcraft in this update is major adjustments to old paintings and tapestries in the MMO.
The World of Warcraft community swiftly noticed that the 9.1.5 patch notes referenced several HD graphics updates for paintings. In-game paintings that have been around since the original version of World of Warcraft released way back in 2004 have even been impacted by these changes. The changes were made in an effort to "tone down sexuality” in the game and were mostly targeted towards female characters.

Hundreds of World of Warcraft players had already voiced their opinion on the retroactive changes to the MMO before Asmongold chimed in. The popular Twitch streamer thinks the changes are a joke and he believes that the message being sent with these changes is wrong. "There’s nothing wrong with cleavage or sexuality, but there is something wrong with pretending like there is.”

One noticeable painting that was changed in the recent World of Warcraft update is one of a robed woman in Stormwind SI:7. Prior to the changes, the woman’s robe was low-cut, but the changes went above and beyond simply covering the female character up. After the changes, the robed woman had a less distinguishable face and her hair had also been altered.

Asmongold stated that there’s something particularly wrong with the World of Warcraft developers retroactively change content because it conflicts with the Activision Blizzard of today. The Twitch streamer believes that these changes have something to do with a new message that Activision Blizzard is trying to promote, perhaps as a result of the ongoing lawsuit. Asmongold also called the changes "stupid and reductive.”

One of the popular clips that have circulated since the lawsuit between Activision Blizzard and California comes from a BlizzCon event from several years ago. During the clip, a female fan asked the World of Warcraft developers if more female characters in the game would be based on catalogs beyond Victoria’s Secret. While the developers dismissed this fan at the time, it appears as if the World of Warcraft team of today agrees with her message.

Gold farming in WoW – old raids

Greed is good, and we all prefer our bags to be filled with copious amounts of gold. There are many ways to make gold in World of Warcraft, but in this article we will specifically look at the viability of farming old raids (between Wrath of the Lich King and Legion) for raw gold. This means that we simply take whatever we loot and vendor it for its value in gold. To get more news aboutsafely buy wow gold, you can visit lootwowgold official website.

Because this gold farming guide for old raids in WoW deals with raw gold value, we do not factor in the potential value of mounts, pets, BOE’s, and other cosmetics. It is very difficult to determine a consistent value-for-time-model, as the drop rate of especially mounts is very low and cannot reliably be predicted. In doing the research for this guide I got the Guldan mount on my first kill, including the potential gold gain from selling the mount would make this report very unbalanced. .
We also stuck to non-pvp raids and avoided one-boss raids as the travel time to the raids was just not worth the effort in the end. Raids from the Classic and Burning Crusade eras are also left out, as they are simply not worth running for raw gold. For instance, Karazhan took us an average of 35 minutes across our tests and only netted 250 gold. It should be obvious that this is not worth the time. Finally, we did all the raids on Heroic 25-man difficulty (where possible) to keep the report balanced.

With that said, let’s get into the stats. We start off with a list of all the tested raids from WotLK up until and including Tomb of Sargeras in Legion. If you just want to view a tier list without explanations, click here. After the complete list, we also offer a top 5 old raids for gold farming in WoW list for those that only want to know the top spots for raw gold farming. At the very end of this article we reflect on the question, "is it worth farming old raids in WoW for gold?”, and give our humble opinions on this important question.
It should be pretty obvious that the Mists of Pandaria expansion is your go-to zone for the best raw gold farming from old raids. Travel time to these raids is also not exorbitant, so if you only have an hour or two available and want to farm some old raids, this is your best bet. Nighthold from the Legion expansion takes the fifth place and is also a good spot to farm some raw gold.

This is probably the big question. Is it worth your time to farm old raids in WoW for gold? On a value for time basis and if you are just out for the gold, the answer is a resounding no. You can almost do anything else in WoW, and it will net you significantly more gold. But if that is not your singular goal, then it depends.

Mounts
Many of the old raids in WoW drop awesome mounts which you can either add to your own collection or sell for lots of gold on the auction house. The price of these mounts depend on each server, but because of how rare they are, you are sure to make lots of gold in any case. If you get mount drops while farming, it can significantly improve the value for time spent as these mounts can easily be worth hundreds of thousands or even millions of gold.
The pet drops are much less rare, but you can still make some decent gold selling them on the auction house. Farming old raids are a headache for many people, and they will gladly pay decent amounts of gold to take the pets of your hands. You can also add them to your own collection if that is your thing.

The mysterious Chinese fashion app that's as popular as Amazon

The mysterious Chinese fashion app that's as popular as Amazon

Sachan checks the Shein app daily for the same reason many others do: to get points. The more you get, the more you can save on purchases. Shein awards them to customers for everything from opening the app to watching live streams and entering outfit design contests.To get morefashion news today, you can visit shine news official website.

"It is pretty addictive," said Sachan, describing the experience as similar to playing a mobile game.
Shein's ability to lure users to its platform is one of its main ingredients for success, along with its hyper-fast production process, bargain basement pricing and data-driven product offerings.
"I just stopped buying from H&M when I started using Shein," said Sachan, who often scours the site for new accessories and once scored a necklace for 9 Hong Kong dollars ($1.20).
"Because I was getting the same things that I saw at H&M, but like, for cheaper."
A rising star
Shein was born under a different name — ZZKKO — in China, where it was started in 2008 by Chris Xu. The experience he gained as a marketing and search engine optimization consultant would later prove instrumental in creating the site's powerful algorithm, according to Coresight Research.
At first, the company only sold wedding dresses, said Schmidt. It later branched out to general womenswear, adopting the name "Sheinside." In 2015, the company rebranded again, saying it wanted a name that was easier to remember and search for online.
Fast forward to the pandemic, which has helped Shein generate explosive growth and become one of the few Chinese consumer brands to win global acclaim. As of last October, it was the world's largest online-only fashion company, as measured by sales of goods under the company's own brand, according to Euromonitor International. The research firm declined to provide further information, saying that the finding was part of a proprietary project.
Shein competes with Zara and H&M for customers who want the latest trends for less, and all three companies sell their own branded goods. But the two longtime heavyweights also run brick-and-mortar stores, cater to a wider customer base and sell at slightly higher prices.
Shein's more direct competition comes from the likes of British fast fashion retailers Boohoo and ASOS, which concentrate most of their firepower online, target young female shoppers and tend to offer more affordable items.
In the first half of this year alone, Shein's app racked up more than 81 million downloads around the world. In mid-May, it overtook Amazon as the most installed shopping app in the United States across the App Store and Google Play combined, according to analytics firms App Annie and Sensor Tower.
Amazon has regained its crown, although "daily installs between the two apps since then have largely remained close," said Craig Chapple, a mobile insights strategist of Europe, the Middle East and Africa for Sensor Tower.
In recent months, Shein "has really exploded onto the scene," said Schmidt. "Everybody wants [to know] everything that they possibly can about Shein."
They may be disappointed. For all its success, the company is notoriously reclusive, with little known about its inner workings despite its stature as one of China's most valuable privately-held businesses. As of last August, Shein had a valuation of $15 billion, according to PitchBook. By this summer, that had doubled to as much as $30 billion, with annual revenue reaching $10 billion, Bloomberg reported in June, citing unidentified sources.
Backers of the firm include marquee investors, such as Sequoia Capital China and Tiger Global. Shein declined requests for an interview, and did not respond to a request for comment on specific details for this story. Sequoia and Tiger Global declined requests for an interview.
Shein positions itself firmly as a global business, with an emphasis on distribution: It ships to more than 220 countries or territories. Its website has no mention of its backstory or even where it's based, stating only that it is "an international" firm. In recent months, that has led to some suggestions that the retailer deliberately downplays its Chinese roots amid rising biases and political controversy.
"Given the current climate of geopolitical tensions, it can ... make sense for Chinese entities to lay low," said Matthew Brennan, who writes about Chinese mobile technology and is the founder of research firm China Channel. "They just want to do business. This is something that they don't want to have to deal with. And so I don't think we can blame Shein for taking that option."

Traveling to Shanghai Disneyland

Traveling to Shanghai Disneyland

You’ve seen the pictures, watched the videos, and seen the reports. So how can you see Shanghai Disneyland for yourself? Honestly, it may not be as complicated as you might think — although there are some things you should definitely be aware of.To get more news aboutShanghai scenic spots, you can visit shine news official website.

Having just returned from the other side of the world, I am now prepared to offer my Shanghai Disneyland travel guide based on my experiences visiting the parks, the city, and more:

In a previous article I wrote about planning my Shanghai trip, I mentioned that American passport holders are required to obtain a visa before visiting China. While this is mostly true — and is 100% true if you are traveling from America to Shanghai and directly back to America — there are exceptions that I deemed too complicated to speak on with authority at the time. However, now that I’ve experienced them first hand, I feel I’m ready to properly explain the rules and what you might encounter if you try to use one of these programs.

Thanks to a rule enacted just earlier this year, Americans and residents of other select countries may enjoy up to 144 hours in the districts of Shanghai, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang if you meet the following criteria:

You are arriving from a country outside of the People’s Republic of China (PRC).
You hold a confirmed ticket onward to a third country (not the country you came from) less than 144 hours from the time of your arrival.
You do not leave the designated districts or connect to other cities within PRC.
For the purposes of this rule, Hong Kong counts as a separate country. That means that if (like me) you were to visit Hong Kong Disneyland before or after your trip to PRC and Shanghai Disneyland, you may qualify for this exemption.

Say for example you are flying out of LAX and returning to LAX but visiting both Hong Kong (HKG) and Shanghai (PVG) along the way. In this case, your itinerary that goes LAX > HKG > PVG > LAX would be compliant as long as you didn’t spend more than 144 hours in Shanghai. Additionally, the amount of time you spend in any country other than PRC is irrelevant. So, say your flight from LAX goes to Tokyo (NRT) where you have a one-hour layover before taking another flight from NRT to PVG — in this case, you can still qualify for the 144-hour exception as you would be coming to PRC from Japan before departing for the United States. Voila!
Admittedly, this can get quite complicated. Worse yet, it seems that many airline employees are not familiar with all of these rules and may give you trouble when you try to board your flight. To combat this, I recommend reviewing this thread on the FlyerTalk message board that gives you all of this info you’ll need. In my case, I needed the gate agent to contact a supervisor who could walk her through how to enter our exception in the computer and allow us to board. (Note: most airlines will need to approve your passport and visa at the start of your itinerary which for us was Atlanta. For smaller airports, it may be an even bigger issue as they are probably less accustomed to having international travelers.)

Be advised that at every step of the way it took extra time for us to explain that we were taking advantage of the 144-hour exception. Even when people are aware of the rules, it does take a while to enter all of your information, confirm your ongoing flights, etc. You can assist with the process by having all of your information printed and ready to show them including all of your flight confirmations (make sure it shows a ticket number in addition to your confirmation number), hotel bookings for Shanghai, and maybe even the TIMATIC print out from the aforementioned FlyerTalk thread. You’ll also want to hold on to your boarding passes even after your flight is completed so that you can show immigration officers where you’re arriving from. All of this documentation came in handy when we were making our way across the globe.

THE BEST JUICERS OF 2020

THE BEST JUICERS OF 2020

The desire for a healthy lifestyle is not only welcomed, but also encouraged by most branded manufacturers of household appliances. For the indicated reason, today it is not difficult to choose a good juicer for making a wide variety of juices, sorbets and even baby food. However, among the wide variety of centrifugal and screw models, even sophisticated buyers find it difficult to figure out the purchase of a suitable device. We bring to your attention the rating of the best juicers in 2020, compiled taking into account the different financial opportunities for different customers.To get more news about spiral juicing machine, you can visit hlmachines.com official website.

It is worth noting that on sale you can find representatives of two more classes: centrifugal and combined juicers. The former have a narrow scope, and are not too convenient to operate, and the latter rarely have an adequate price / quality ratio. Therefore, we decided to focus on the most worthy solutions, taking into account customer reviews.
Such models work on the basis of a rotating cylinder having spiral ribs. Juicers of this type resemble a meat grinder. Juice can be obtained from almost any fruit, vegetables and berries. At the same time, they are quieter than centrifugal counterparts and consume less electrical energy. For obvious reasons, under equal conditions, these types of household devices are more expensive than analogues. However, they may differ in the quality of protection, the size of containers for juice and pulp, design and a number of other parameters.

The Top-10 juicer opens with the Scarlett SC-JE50S46, with a juice tank capacity of 700 milliliters. The power of the device is 150 watts. This is enough to achieve good performance at 60 revolutions per minute. At the same time, the screw model is distinguished by its loyal cost and good quality construction. For ease of operation, the design was equipped with a good reverse. However, the device has a simple mechanical control, automatically throws the pulp into a small tank for cake. The advantages are the drop-stop system and advanced protection against accidental switching on. The case of the juicer is made of high strength plastic.

This is a fairly economical screw juicer with a long life and two filters. At the same time, the popular German manufacturer took care of the presence of a good motor, whose power is 150 watts. At low speeds, the device allows you to create natural juice, preserving the maximum beneficial properties and the natural supply of vegetables with fruits. It is worth adding that the device is simple to operate: it is easy to clean each of the parts - just pour water into the tank for this. Two special filters are included in the package: a small grill for juice and a large one for smoothies. The metal auger, in turn, is allowed to cope with tough foods such as nuts and frozen berries.

If you don’t know which compact juicer to buy, we recommend that you pay attention to the Kenwood mid-range auger model - this is the JMP 600, equipped with nozzles for making sorbets.The device has an optimal power of 150 watts, which is enough to meet the needs of each member of the family. At the same time, this unit is easily disassembled and cleaned of food debris. The auger rotates at low speeds, but there is enough productivity to cope with your favorite berries, fruits and vegetables. Cake, as you know, is going in a separate container. The advantages include support for the drop-stop system. In addition, the juicer has a low noise level, and the capacity of the main bowl is 1000 milliliters.

This year, Mirandi was pleased with the good screw type juicer. Model J-60 has a fairly powerful power plant of 200 watts. At the same time, the container for oil cake, as well as the juice container, is 1 liter. It was possible to please the optimum ratio of price and quality due to simple mechanical control. Another plus is the wide loading opening, the diameter of which is 80 milliliters. Based on customer reviews, this is enough for comfortable work with the device. The advantages also include automatic pulp ejection, a drop-stop system, an advanced foam separator and a high-quality plastic case. There is a long reverse, and the maximum productivity makes 55 revolutions per minute.

The best screw juicer of 2020 is the Panasonic MJ-L500, which is compact in size, with high spin efficiency, a drop-stop system, and an extensive range of accessories. In particular, a sorbet nozzle is included. The only flaw may be the narrow loading neck, which complicates the work with large products a little. The rest of the minuses were not identified. The device is compact in size, easy to clean. The device processes vegetables, fruits and berries in a matter of seconds. In addition, the manufacturer was pleased with a quality filter that displays juice with almost no pulp. At the same time, this model is characterized by a long service life and a reliable steel case.

12-year-old without a bank account makes $400,000 selling ‘Weird Whales’ NFTs

Benyamin Ahmed, a 12-year-old British Pakistani boy has made around $400,000 after launching his very own non-fungible token (NFT) project, Weird Whales.To get more news aboutSTORJ, you can visit wikibit.com official website.
  The young programmer wrapped up the project featuring 3,350 programmatically-generated pixel whales during school holidays and made a small fortune after his artwork went viral on Twitter.
  "I completed everything and put it up on sale and within five weeks, I made over £290,000 and its growing,” Benjamin told Geo.tv in an interview.
  "I had only a few followers on my Twitter. Luckily, someone big on Twitter sharing the same interest retweeted me and today I have over 12,000 followers – from the BBC to New York Post to Geo News – everyone has picked up my news,” he added, while explaining how his project, which sold out within hours, went viral.
Benyamin has become a hit because he‘s only 12. He’s highly creative, has no bank account and no accountant, therefore, he keeps his money in an online blockchain,” said Benjamins father, Imran Ahmed, a software developer who started teaching his sons how to code when they were five years old.  But the young programmer promptly reacted and cleared the doubt on Twitter, while posting a follow-up video on YouTube, featuring him sitting at the computer with Weird Whales on-screen.
Its exciting to become the "youngest programmer in the world to earn this much money online without having a bank account,” according to Benjamin.
  "I know the price value fluctuates in this market but this is the future and this is here to stay,” said the young programmer after revealing that he has stored his earnings in ETHereum (ETH).
