NextFifty Initiative, a private foundation supporting efforts to improve quality of life for older adults and their caregivers, today announced it has named Peter Kaldes as its new President and CEO. Kaldes will assume the role on September 11, 2023, and will lead efforts to help the nonprofit private foundation achieve its mission of improving and sustaining the quality of life for people in their second 50 years. Kaldes is a national leader in aging with experience as a nonprofit and philanthropic executive. Since March 2020, he has served as president and chief executive officer of the American Society on Aging, the nation's largest association of diverse professionals in the field of aging. Before joining ASA, Kaldes was president and chief executive officer of the South Florida Institute on Aging (SoFIA). Prior to that position, Kaldes was a senior executive at JPMorgan Chase & Co. and led the global bank’s philanthropic investments in economic development. Kaldes also has served in the White House as an economic policy advisor to President Barack Obama. "Colorado, like our nation, is aging," said Kaldes.

At SoFIA, he led the transformation of a 55-year-old, community-based organization and nearly doubled the organization’s budget with new social and economic programs. Kaldes began his career as an international litigator at the global firm of Weil Gotshal & Manges, LLP. He is a graduate of the University of Pittsburgh School of Law and Tufts University. “We are thrilled to welcome Peter Kaldes and the depth of experience he will bring to our work,” said Joie Glenn, chair of the Board of Trustees for NextFifty Initiative. “Peter shares our passion for supporting the needs of older adults and all the issues related to their quality of life. We are very pleased to have found a new leader of his caliber.” NextFifty Initiative was formed in 2016 through the sale of InnovAge, a non-profit PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) provider, to a private equity firm. With initial assets of over $200MM, the foundation was created as an independent nonprofit entity completely separate from InnovAge. The foundation remains focused on and committed to serving the older adult population through grantmaking and impact investing with goals of: improving the quality of life for older adults; making sure organizations serving older adults have the resources they need to succeed; identifying, supporting, and replicating new and innovative approaches to aging; and reducing ageism. About NextFifty Initiative NextFifty Initiative is a Colorado-based, private foundation supporting efforts to improve the lives of older adults and their caregivers. The foundation works with community leaders, experts in the field of aging, and front-line professionals to support programs and projects that positively impact aging and longevity.

From Novice to Pro: How to Use Forex Line Trading Like a Seasoned Trader

LonghornFX

Identifying profitable opportunities in forex trading can be challenging for any trader regardless of experience level. Without a clear grasp of trading techniques like forex line trading, you may risk missing out on chances to make significant gains and incur losses due to ill-timed decisions. This guide will explain the intricacies of the forex line trading technique and how you can use it to your advantage. What Is Forex Line Trading? Forex line trading is a technical analysis method traders use to analyze and predict price movements in the forex market by observing and drawing trendlines on price charts. Trendlines are used on a price chart to connect two or more key price points, indicating the direction and momentum of a trend. This technique helps traders identify possible entry and exit points and create an effective trading strategy to maximize profits. Why Are Trendlines Important? Trendlines are vital technical analysis tools for forex traders because they provide valuable insights into market direction and strength. They are useful for determining the current trend and likely points of support and resistance. By identifying and defining trends, trendlines help you to time your entry and exit correctly, potentially increasing your gains while reducing losses. Types of Forex Trends Traders use three primary types of trends in forex trading: uptrends, downtrends and sideways trends. Uptrend: An uptrend occurs when a currency pair's price consistently rises over time, propelled by buyers. It is characterized by a clear sequence of higher highs and higher lows on the chart. Downtrend: A downtrend is the reverse of an uptrend, characterized by a currency pair's price consistently plunging, driven down by sellers. It is defined by lower lows and lower highs. Sideways trend: A market in a sideways trend or range-bound market shows the price of a pair swaying to and fro without significant price movement. As buyers take over the market and drive prices up, sellers interrupt and force prices lower, and vice versa. How to Use Trendlines for Forex Trades Trendlines are some of the most commonly used technical analysis methods in forex, but not everyone can use them correctly. To start your journey into forex line trading on the right footing, follow these essential steps. Choosing a Trading Platform Begin by selecting a suitable forex trading platform that meets your needs. When deciding, consider factors such as fees, user interface, available technical indicators, functionality and customer support. Setting up Your Forex Line Chart Configure your chart parameters by selecting the forex currency pair you wish to trade, the timeframe and the chart type (such as candlestick or line chart). Identifying Entry and Exit Points Analyze market trends using technical indicators (moving averages, RSI and MACD), trendlines and support and resistance levels to identify optimal entry and exit points for your trades. Developing a Trading Strategy Learn to handle risk and volatility by creating a personal trading plan that includes risk management techniques, position sizing and stop-loss orders. You should construct your strategy around your trading style and risk tolerance. Tips and Tricks for Forex Line Trading To use the forex line trading technique successfully, you need to stay on top of the latest economic news and market trends. Here are other tips and tricks to use the forex line trading technique like a pro. Identify the type of trend: Recognize whether the market is in an uptrend (higher lows), downtrend (lower highs) or sideways trend (ranging). Use at least two tops or bottoms to draw a valid trendline: It takes a minimum of two tops or bottoms to create a trendline, but three are required to confirm it. When a trendline is touched by highs or lows three or more times, it becomes a more reliable indicator of the trend's direction. Ensure the trendline does not cut through candlestick bodies: When drawing a trendline, make sure it connects at least two significant points without cutting through the body of a candlestick. Cutting through the body of a candlestick may indicate an invalid trendline, which makes it unreliable. Never force a trendline to fit: When drawing a trendline, you link the highs or lows in a chart to identify the direction of the trend. You must draw the trendline accurately based on the actual price points and avoid manipulating it to fit the data. You risk making poor trading decisions when using inaccurate conclusions derived from manipulated trendlines. Practice the trendline trading strategy: Refine and improve your forex line trading techniques by practicing and gaining experience. Use trendlines with other indicators: Make your trades more reliable by combining trendlines with other technical indicators and trading tools. Be cautious during forex breakouts: Breakouts occur when the price of a currency pair breaks through a trendline, either a support or resistance level. While breakouts can signal a change in market direction and provide profitable trading opportunities, they can also be risky, and it's essential to use proper risk management techniques, such as stop-losses, to avoid losses. Master Forex Line Trading and Fortify Your Trades Forex line trading is a powerful and popular technical analysis method that can lead to better trading results when executed and applied correctly. When you master forex line trading and learn how to identify market trends, you can develop a solid personalized trading strategy on your way to forex trading success.

How to Read Market Structure in Forex

LonghornFX

When faced with chaos, it is in people’s nature to look for structure. Anything that fits within the reliable framework helps to decrease entropy. For that reason, to avoid the noise and look at the bigger picture, forex traders turn to analyze the forex market structure. This article will explore the forex market structure concept — show its basic premises and demonstrate simple examples of how to use it for identifying opportunities in currency markets. What Is Forex Market Structure? Forex market structure is the framework created by buying and selling a currency pair within a specific timeframe and a defined time period. The forex market structure analysis aims to determine the market's current state, which belongs to one of three categories: bullish trend, bearish trend or sideways movement. Although most markets spend the most in a sideways movement, this doesn’t mean those periods cannot be as profitable as a bullish or bearish trend. Defining the market structure, particularly on a higher time frame, helps to identify the best strategy approach at that time. How Does Forex Market Structure Work? Different approaches explain forex market structure, including trendlines, supply and demand zones, candlestick patterns or advanced harmonic patterns. However, the simplest way is usually the most reliable one. Identifying strong support and resistance levels and swing high–swing low formations gives enough data to define the market structure. Traders can use market structure in different ways. Still, the most common one is to stack the odds in their favor by trading with the established trend. The simplest way is to define the market structure on a higher timeframe and then look for opportunities on a lower time frame. Many traders succeed in waiting for pullbacks on a lower time frame and then trading with the trend. As short-term contrarians but long-term trend followers, they can set trades with favorable risk-to-reward ratios. Forex Market Structure Stages At any point and on any timeframe, the forex market can be in one of three stages — trending upwards, trending downwards or moving sideways. An upward trend is also called a bullish trend. Its main characteristic is a series of higher highs and higher lows. Ideally, the price moves upwards in an orderly manner, pulling back after establishing a new high but never fully retracing or making a lower high or a lower low. Traders consider these retracements as buying opportunities to ride the trend. A downward trend is also known as a bearish trend. Its characteristic is a series of lower lows and lower highs — where the price pulls back upwards but never goes beyond the previous high. Ideally, it also never makes a higher low. It is the opposite of the bullish trends, and in this trend, traders now prefer selling opportunities. Sideway movement is a bit trickier. Although often defined by a range of equal highs and equal lows, it can also have an expansion with higher highs and lower lows. The bottom line is that it’s a period of indecisiveness, resulting in no clear consensus on the prevailing trend. How to Trade Market Structure in Forex When analyzing the market structure to formulate a trading setup, traders have two options — expecting more of the same or anticipating a reversal. Expecting more of the same is a simpler option because the market operates within an established framework. For a bullish trend, that will be a series of higher highs and higher lows, and for a bearish trend, a series of lower highs and lower lows. Finally, a sideways market will range between key support and resistance levels. A simple strategy to trade a bullish trend is to observe when a higher low takes place and then buy the breakout of the previous high. Ideally, the buy should be not on the initial break but on the following retest. Although this process might lower the viable number of opportunities, it is likely to result in a better success rate. Trading the bearish trend would be the exact opposite — looking for a lower high and then selling the pullback of the previous lower low. Anticipating a reversal is when things get trickier. Traders can expect a reversal but should not trade while anticipating one. Instead, they should wait for the market to show its hand. In a bullish trend, when the market fails to establish a higher high or makes a lower low, this signals a potential reversal. If a lower high follows this lower low, it represents a break of the market structure, and traders can look to sell the retest when the price tests the previous higher low support from the underside. The Trend Is Your Friend Regardless of how a trader approaches the market, trading in the direction of the prevailing trend will always be more straightforward. Analyzing the market structure serves that purpose — to define the dominant trend one step above the trading timeframe. For example, trading the five-minute timeframe might use an hourly chart to look at the market structure, while trading the 30-minute timeframe might use a four-hour one. However, traders should not look too far ahead. By doing so, they might miss near-term opportunities because in trying to get two steps ahead they end up realizing they’re one step behind.

Embracing Train Travel in Europe This Summer

YourUpdateTV

This summer, Americans are flocking to Europe in record numbers and seeking out unforgettable travel experiences while there. But with inflation top of mind for many Americans, one of the easiest, most affordable and memorable ways to explore Europe is by rail. Recently, Lifestyle Expert Bethany Braun-Silva partnered with Trainline to discuss the top European destinations this year, travel tips, and the benefits of seeing Europe by train. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/n1B5FtEV8TE Europe is definitely a top destination for many travelers this summer, with demand even outpacing pre-pandemic levels. But prices for airfare have skyrocketed and many Americans find it difficult to drive in Europe – from navigating which side of the road to drive on to trying to read traffic signs in a different language. This has led many American travelers to look for easier and more affordable travel alternatives while abroad. Train travel has had a major boom in recent years and has become the go-to form of travel in Europe for Americans, with affordability, ease of travel and sustainability being the chief drivers – plus the views from the train are both breathtaking and unforgettable, while being a perfect option for families, solo travelers, business, or leisure trips. U.S. downloads for Trainline, the No. 1 train booking app in Europe, are up 108% this year, telling us travelers are eager to see Europe by train this summer. With Trainline, Americans can explore Europe from the palm of their hand – making it simple to book all your train travel needs. Plus, you can book your train travel through Trainline in English and pay in USD, so there is no need to worry about a language or currency barrier when traveling! Here are Bethany’s tips for navigating Europe by train this summer: Tip #1: Book in Advance - Train tickets in Europe are usually at their cheapest price when they first go on sale. Booking early will get you the best deal, or you can choose to get a ticket with the ultimate flexibility for those times when you might want to change your travel plans last minute. Tip #2: Travel Off-Peak – Most train tickets across Europe tend to be more expensive during morning and afternoon rush hour. If you can, be sure to look for tickets outside of these times to see if you can snap up a lower price. Tip #3: Don’t Skip Connecting Trains – While taking a connecting train might make some American travelers uncomfortable, don’t shy away from them. You may arrive at your destination a little later than high-speed or direct services, but for those with a little extra time on their hands it’s a great money-saver – and you get to see even more of Europe along the way!

Paul Newman Summer Camps Mean Fun for All

YourUpdateTV

Going to summer camp can be the highlight of any kid’s summer. Camp is where kids learn many life skills that they will take into adulthood, including learning how to be independent, how to make friends, and how to embrace new experiences. In addition to fun in the sun, summer camp is also a time to learn about kindness, belonging, diversity, inclusion, and compassion. All those positive traits are fostered at the camps that are part of SeriousFun Children’s Network, a global community of camps founded by actor and philanthropist Paul Newman. Recently, CEO of SeriousFun Children’s Network, Blake Maher, and Executive Director of Rite Aid Healthy Futures, Matt DeCamara, teamed up for a nationwide satellite media tour to discuss how SeriousFun camps are spreading kindness, belonging, diversity, inclusion and hope to kids and families all around the U.S. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/1ckiqe7mcp0 Thirty-five years ago, Paul Newman, the Hollywood icon, philanthropist, and car racing champion envisioned a camp where kids living with serious and life-limiting medical conditions could break away from the everyday challenges of their illness to, in his words, “raise a little hell.” Today, Serious Fun Children’s Network, the leading network of medical specialty camps in the world, boasts 30 camps and programs which have delivered more than 1.7 million life-changing camp experiences to kids living with more than 130medical conditions and their families, totally free of charge. But the SeriousFun camp experience is more than just a week of fun and adventure. Over 80% of SeriousFun alumni campers surveyed said the SeriousFun camp experience was a major influence in the development of skills they use daily in their adult lives including the willingness to try new things, appreciation of diversity, self-identity, empathy and compassion, self-confidence, perseverance, and friendship skills. For Rite Aid Healthy Futures, partnering with SeriousFun to support kids and families was a natural fit. Healthy Futures strives to empower children and strengthen communities every day by advancing equity and opportunity for children facing daunting challenges. The partnership with SeriousFun Children’s Network places a caring community around children with serious medical conditions and provides a needed sense of belonging for kids who spend too much time isolated in hospitals. SeriousFun camps also bring together children from a rich variety of backgrounds, experiences and locations, creating opportunities for campers, families, caregivers, and volunteers to get to know others from within or outside of their own community.
