Feeling kinda stupid for premature ejaculation of that .3180 short I had yesterday...I had that feeling I should nurture that baby but they said - stay flat before important news...meh.
Anyway, I noticed there was a good habit to introduce yourself on this thread so I donīt want to be an exception although I can imagine you donīt give a damn.
But since Frankie havenīt opened yet, there you go:
I live in Central (I consider us being western though
) Europe, beautiful city of Prague...Bear has been to Vienna recently, thatīs close enough for you Americans 
I worked my ass hard from early age and when around 25, it somewhat paid off - me and my colleague, after 5 years of hard work, built an international IT company with distribution in 25 countries around the globe, 100.000 customers and approx. 50M users of our software, mostly enterprise customers, e.g. British Army, FBI, US Department of Justice, Toyota, Panasonic etc. Sounds like a cheap ad, ey?
Anyway, when the creative process within the company was more or less finished and most internal processes fairly automated and competences delegated to middle management, I was looking for a new challenge - and found it in commodity futures. I didnīt really know anything about TA so I focused mostly on proven method "buying when itīs going higher, selling when itīs going lower" in combination with fundamentals. Perhaps I was lucky, but I actually made a decent money trading sugar, wheat, corn and cotton (stayed away from crude and gold in those times, way too volatile for me)...
4 and something years ago, friend of mine told me about forex and I found it interesting. I spent next two years reading every piece of paper I found about it, watching every educational video, reading every book related, studied hard overnight both FA and TA. I had good basics, economics and maths were always my favourite hobbies, so it went rather smooth. I tested all I discovered on the demo, refining my approach to trading, looking for my favourite trading system.
And finally, here I am, trading live for 2 years, without a single losing month from the very beginning, mostly scalping as it fits my trading personality mosts, focusing on FA + purely PA technicals. I am slowly developing, counting pips and always willing to learn new stuff. My aim at the moment is to refine my exits, there is still work to do and move from "not a single losing month" to "not a single losing day"...Currently have 16 days (4+5+5+2) without a loser in a row, I hope to make another week to call it a month.
Looking forward for sharing this thread with you, cheers.

I donīt want to get too technical, but what we do is called unified communication server, something similar to MS Exchange, it basically allows companies to send emails, communicate via IM, VoIP, SMS, manage and share their calendars, contacts, tasks, access their data via cell phones, it protects them against spam, viruses, hacker attacks etc. etc.
And from certain point of view, you might be right. But if you ever experienced what burden it is to have 50 employees, you would certainly love the independence and "only-self-reliance" which you get from FX...And I donīt mention the office routine you fall into when the process of creation of the company is basically finished.

You are right but I am and always was a sick perfectionalist and I am unfortunately trying to apply the same measures on trading, being pissed off on myself for every single loser.

any website ? I mean your business..at trading we face monitor each day,at business sometimes we can meet and face a hot chick
? Back to real world, mate I attended hundreds of business meetings and not a SINGLE one was with a hot chick. There was a "girl" included like three or four times maybe, but IT girls are not really girls...I am not giving names or websites, if you donīt mind, we have (for some stupid PR reasons) the list of some top people, incl. me, with names and short introduction included on the .com website and I still prefer staying anonymous in spaces like this, at least publicly...
If you ever come to Prague to visit (and you are all warmly welcome), I will gladly tell you
