Avoid loans with prepayment penalties. You pay this charge, usually 2-3 percent of the loan amount, when you pay off your loan before you're supposed to. The only way to know whether a loan has a prepayment penalty is to ask. If the answer is yes, find yourself another mortgage. [2019] - Eric Tyson

The exit strategy should be based on the same market conditions that determined the conditions to identify the trade entry in the first place. If the dual time frame momentum position was a key factor to enter a trade in the direction of the larger time frame trend, a dual time frame momentum position should be a key factor in the exit strategy. [2009] - Robert C.

Mary is 45 years old and should contain roughly 15% of total energy as protein. The Harris Benedict formula estimates metabolic rate. There are various online calculators to help do this, based on your weight, height, sex, age, and how active you are. Based on the formula, Mary needs 1,880 kcal per day. If she consumes that daily, she will neither gain nor lose weight. 15% of 1,880—the proportion recommended to come from protein—is 282 kcal. Because protein contains 4 kcal of energy per gram, this amounts to 70.5 grams of protein spread across the day. Once Mary reaches her older years, 65 and above, she will need to start increasing her protein intake a little, by around 25 grams per day, to a 20% protein diet. This is because the protein drain becomes more leaky with old age, and unless Mary increases her intake, she risks losing muscle mass. [2020] - David Raubenheimer
