Hey Rufus,

Thought you might get a kick out of our family brand "Running M"

Hey Kurt

Noticed on another thread you are getting your daughter set up for College this week.

I am sending mine off next week......6 hr drive there, headed out Thursday morning.

On the plus side of this...I am going to set up her room as my trading room while she is gone.

I have noticed that 95% or so of my mistakes with the Forex market is while trying to do "other work" at the same time as chart watching. Setting my trading up in that room away from the constant pile of paper work for my business will get rid of that issue. Multi tasking is fine untill it makes me start missing details, news releases, etc.

I don't mind getting an entry signal only to get stoped out a little while latter. But to miss a detail like a news release because I was to busy on my other computer doing books, and getting stoped out, that is just plain stupid.

So I will have two areas to work in. One for my business and all its related activities. The other for trading and its activities. The two will not intermingle. I know this will sound extreem to some, but it is available for me to do so that is what will happen. Besides there is a bed in that room if I need a quick nap. Not to mention the added element of more privacy. I believe this will also give me more trading time.

Gotta get back to work....Paper work not trading

Hey Rufus,

I can not believe we even have daughters the same age. I had to drive about 5 hours to enroll her into college as well. I was a crazy last couple of days. She will be staying in a 5 story dorm. It is really like a two bedroom apartment. Each girl has their own bedroom and bath. They share a common area between the two of them. Cable TV, High Speed Internet etc.

They had it set up in a top down fashon for move in. We started at 9 am, the whole floor had 1 hour to get all the kids stuff in the room. So you can imagine students and parents for 100 rooms trying to use two elevators in an hour. I was like trying to load 100 steers in a 32 ft gooseneck trailer.

Anyway we got her set up, it was an emotional day for all of us.

Hope you got your daughter set up as well.

I see your Tokyo open method would have done well tonight with E/J.

Good Luck, hope it goes well for you.

I thing I may do the same with the trading room idea. Make a new man cave for trading.

I am reading "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill.

Of all the hundreds of books I have read I can't believe I have never read this one...

It is a great read..

I am thinking of it inlight of the Forex market and where I want to be with it in the near future.

I wish I could cut and paste

"More than five hundred of the most successful men this country has ever known, told the author their greatest success came just one step beyond the point at which defeat had overtaken them. Failure is a trickster with a keen sense of irony and cunning."

"When riches begin to come they come so quickly, in such great abundance, that one wonders where they had been hiding durring all those lean years.
This ia an astounding statement, and all the more so, when we take into consideration the popular belief, that riches come only to those who work long and hard."

This sounds a lot like.

"It is literally true that millions come easier to a trader after he knows how to trade than hundreds did in the days of his ignorance."

"I bargained with Life for a penny,
And Life would pay no more,
However I begged at evening
When I counted my scanty store.
For Life is a just employer,
He gives you what you ask,
But once you have set the wages,
Why, you must bear the task.
I worked for a menial's hire,
Only to learn, dismayed,
That any wage I had asked of Life,
Life would have willingly paid."
