    Great Grandma Zandy was almost burnt at the stake and run out of Eastern Europe for being a Gypsy fortune teller. For real.
    Its in the blood I guess.
    Good luck my friend. :fistbump::thumbsup:

    Hey Pekelo!

    No, long and short trading 6A, 6B and 6C (Australian $, British £ and Canadian $). Today (Fri 1st Dec) was a small loser.

    "For now" (it's been 11.33 years already! LOL!) I'm enjoying it. It's like my spiritual practice...a meditation of sorts.

    If I stay present and don't push away "unfavourable" circumstances or cling to "favourable" ones, I'm free to follow what the market is telling me, filtered through the lens of a simple, logical edge. That's all I need to be mindful of now and so having that chart session is useful outside of financial gain.

    There's an old joke about Bass players:
    How many bass players does it take to change a lightbulb?
    ....Zero.
    The piano player does it with his left hand. ;)

    Interestingly, 88% (87.99..) of the last two weeks of profits came from short trades. 58.33% of the trades taken were shorts... I'd love to be able to get the stats for the prior two weeks too but I lost all my data after having Windows 8 go corrupt on me!

    Purely Gg Z. Intuition.
    The bass is cool no doubt. And fun. But a piano is more intimate....
    Its funny... Dealmaker here posts mega-million dollar mansions for sale and when you take the photo tour...nearly every one of those estates has a grand piano.

    88 simple keys right in front of you.... and the greatest compositions of all time have been written right there. Its a very powerful feeling. Very powerful. g/l

    Live trading does indeed make my stomach churn... so i went towards automation; now coding causes nausea so I took a long break to play with amateur radio. That hobby has become very computer-centric since last I was active. Now I'm trying to get the SDR software to talk to the remote base software, and the digital mode software to work with the logging software, and the logging software to work with the electronic log of the world service and feeling a little seasick actually...

    I don't know about that...

    Any trader that has been caught on the wrong side of a massive market move and faces a humongous loss or even ruination if the market doesn't reverse often exhibit newfound deep spirituality and the realization that praying goes hand in hand with trading at that point. :D
