Joe FX goes to heaven

Life and Death.
Forex is a serious business. It's not just life and death, it's more serious than that.

So, in our story, Joe FX will die in his sleep tonight. Poor joe. But tonight. before he does,
he's going home long the US Dollar - right in front of the NFP.

Joe is having dinner with his family right now, he has no idea what tomorrow will bring.
Do any of us ? For Joe it's especially critical, because this is the last time he'll be doing this.
He doesn't know this though, so the meatloaf is just meatloaf - no big deal.

Let's see where he stands:

01/31/2008 18:30 EST

EUR/USD 14860
GBP/USD 19905
USD/JPY 10645
USD/CHF 10815


Let's check back tomorrow, and see what the Executor of Joe's estate will have to deal with.
God rest his soul.....soon, very soon.

Wow...Joe is definitely playing with fire. Hopefully he left some $$ for the wife and kids.

hope the insurance policy is good.....

Well friends,

They found our trader, Joe FX, stiff as a board this morning.
Mrs. Joe is taking the news pretty hard. We will miss him.

As you'll recall Joe was long the US Dollar as of 6:30 PM EST last nite.
Let's see where his account stands:

01/31/2008 |||| 02/01/2008

USD/CHF 10815 ...10888 +73

Well, if I were Joe, I'd be a little sad about missing this bit of good fortune.
But, life's not fair and as we now see death is not fair either. Bummer.

What's really key here is that Mrs. Joe doesn't know the log-in to her
husband's Forex account (I think he trades at Oanda) and so he's STILL LONG
going into the weekend.

Hmmm....what to do ? I think we should check back after the weekend and see
how all this is plays out. Joe would probably have wanted it that way.

I am entertained!

Hey, hey !!

Have some respect for the dead.

QUIT

Talking about my business partner Joe. It's very sad.

I will be logging into his account and closing those positions. The account is tied to our business bank account, so that money is MINE!!

Well,

They FINALLY found Joe's login information and closed his positions.

If you'll recall, he was Long US Dollars Thursday nite then he dropped dead
just a few hours before NFP.

Here's where he ended up:

01/31/2008 |||| 02/06/2008
18:30 EST ||||| 02:00AM EST

EUR/USD 14860 ...14646 + 214
GBP/USD 19905 ...19650 + 255
USD/JPY 10645 .....10648 + 03
USD/CHF 10815 ...10972 + 157

And yes, it's kinda late in the game to be looking at this now,
after all this wasn't supposed to happen this way. Who wudda thunk it?
It's over now, and good old Joe FX can rest peacefully knowing that his
last trade was one of his best.

Farewell Joe. Good trade.
