Frequently Asked Questions About the iPhone 5s Battery Case   by Johny L. Jacson

Most people thought of the iphone 5s charger case as an add-on device used as an aesthetic accessory to improve how their iPhone units look from the outside. Little do they know that there’s more to the sleek design of the battery case than meets the eye.
So to get a better understanding of the iphone 5s charger case, here are the answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about the iphone 5s case.
How does the iphone 5s case work?
The logic on how the iphone 5s battery power case works is quite simple. It is like using a second battery for your iPhone as a back-up unit in case your primary and built-in battery gets low on power. Most brands of battery cases use a rechargeable lithium polymer battery that can store power during charging.
What is the best way of charging the iPhone 5s using the power case?
It is always recommended to fully-charge both your iPhone and battery protective case all the time. By doing so, you can use your phone longer and efficiently. Don’t forget to switch on to the iphone 5s case only when your iPhone unit has 20 percent battery life remaining. The charger case will charge your phone so that you can continue to use it. But if you will not be using your phone for a while, it is suggested to switch back to stand-by mode to preserve your phone’s battery life.
How long does the iphone 5s battery protective case last?
Generally-speaking, a good quality battery case can be recharged for 500 times. Each time a battery case is charged from 0 to 100 percent is considered one full cycle of charging. Although partial charging, it is not recommended. And after the case has exceeded its charging limit of 500 times, you can still charge it but the power it will generate will be 75 percent less than the original charging capacity of 100 percent.
Does the battery case block the camera, speaker, microphone and other ports of the iPhone unit?
The answer to this question is a big no! The iphone 5s battery protective case is designed to act like a speaker box since sound coming from the iPhone speakers is redirected to the front of the case that would result to a fuller and better sound quality. In addition, the exterior look of the battery case was designed not to block the other features of the iPhone such as the microphone, camera and other ports used for easily connecting the phone to other devices.
Does the battery power extension case affect antenna reception?
When it comes to antenna reception, the iphone 5s case in no way affects network signal connection whatsoever. You can text and call anytime you want.
How much does the iphone 5s battery power case cost?
A reliable and quality battery case for iPhone 5s costs for between $79.95 to $199.95. A small price to pay to provide up to 80 to 120 percent extra battery life for your phone.

 
            Futures traders follow several techniques - trend following, contrarian investing, range trading, scalping, news playing - to earn money in the marketplace. A traders' expertise in these techniques will help them make consistent profits.
There are several basic day trading techniques by which futures day traders try to make profits. Apart from those techniques, contrarian or reverse techniques are also used by day traders to trade particularly against irrational behavior. Adjusting their techniques and remaining flexible according to the changing conditions of a futures market is important for a futures day trader.
1. Trend Following
Trend following is a technique in which futures day traders assume that futures that have been rising steadily will keep on rising, or assume that futures that are falling will keep on falling. When a futures contract has been rising, trend following futures day traders buy it, and if one of their own is falling, they short sell it, expecting the trend to continue.
2. Contrarian Investing
This is a market timing strategy in which futures day traders assume that a futures that has been rising steadily will change its direction and begin falling, or assume that a futures contract that has been falling will being rising. Contrarian futures day traders buy futures contracts that have been falling and short-sell futures contracts that have been rising because they expect the trend to change.
3. Range Trading
Range-bound trading is a technique in which futures day traders watch futures contracts that have been falling off a resistance price or have been rising off a support price. This means that the futures contract falls back to the low after hitting a high, or hits high soon after falling to the low. Such a futures contract is referred to as "trading in a range," and this is the opposite of trending. Therefore, the range futures day traders buy a futures contract at or near the low price, and sell it at the high price. A technique related to range trading is to look for moves beyond a range that is already established, known as a breakout (price moving upward) or a breakdown (price moving downward). Then the trader may assume that prices will continue in the same direction for a certain amount of time even after the range breaks, whether upward or downward.
4. Scalping
Originally, scalping was known as spread trading.
5. News Playing
This is the primary realm of every day trader. When trading futures, day traders simply buy a futures contract after good news about it has been announced, and short sell a futures contract if a bad news about it has been announced. Enormous volatility is provided by such events in a futures contract, and so there is usually an excellent chance for quick profits or even losses. Whether the news is good or bad depends on the futures contract's price action.
Indeed, futures day trading contains a variety of styles with their own particular qualities and risks, the use of the above day trading strategies can come in handy.
