TO ALL MY FRIENDS,

Thank you very much for all yourwarm wishes and prayers... cannot find words to describe how i feel... appreciate to know i have friends money can't buy...

my son is okay now and out of danger... they had identified the bacteria and because of the rarity of its kind, puts my sons life in danger... that bacteria (bacterial meningitis) was so aggressive that all doctors worries that it might had some complications...

after a thorough check... brain, lungs, kindeys... everything seems to be fine and normal... without signs of abnormalities & complications...

they administered another cerebrospinal liquid extract to further monitor the bacteria....

treatment will continue for another 2-3 weeks...

so far... baby edward responding to the treatment very well... he's active and feeds normal...

already out of ICU but still in a "close monitored facility"

... again to all of you who offered prayers and warm wishes... THANK YOU!

Great to hear. I also had some challenges at birth. Did not come home for over a month. Didn't know it until a few years ago that they called me "The Miracle Baby". Hope little Edward will be one too.

Take good care,

i had a word with the doctor this morning, he said edward is responding very well and they're expecting him to recover 100% as scheduled; and to finish his antibiotics treatment.

trading is my bread and butter... i have to do what i have to do...

...........

i saw bear pressures... and waiting for a snap... a rubber band effect... this could be quick or just big guns shaking liquidity???

rubberband effect???

appreciate!

euro is bad... usd also bad but better than euro... aud is getting worse because of china deals... my sentiment wih aud was bearish since last month... although gillard's winning delayed it a bit...

just be nimble.

i don't know how to explain it all kim... it's just a feeling for me... once i have a doubt... implement planned actoin....

before i engage my scouts... i already eyeballed the levels of interest... if right or wrong...

asian session... seldom price will run in one direction... normally just a jerky price movements... but with proper MO and skews... can still harvest good pips...

since you ask... yes... but this requires a very strong mindset because most of the time i never use any stop loss orders...

for example... ( i just made this short entry to show you my idea..)

Point A is my mental stop (previous resistance activity)... but as you can see... there is no fix levels... normally when price move to that direction ... i have to feel the pulse... wether price is strong enough to make a strong close above that level...
if so... then i close, with out hesitation... if wrong... then i will just re-group my troops and look for a good re-entry...

Point B is the level where i need to focus... this is where a previous support recently happened... if this will show some support and rejections will be eminent... then it will be my first profit target... other wise... will continue feeling her...

point C is the level where i'm going to blindly implement skews... of course provided with a strong volatility and a strong close below that level...

then everything is history... the key to survival is proper mindset and management of exposures...

so where is she heading now...

most of the times we mistimed our entry... and when you just think you are on the wrong bus... then price turn around and go to your direction...

at this picture... as long as price won't close strongly on our point of reference (point A) then i won't do anything... it's always helpful for me to focus on the price right now of what she's doing...

i will focus on the level (orange box area) ... on what's going on right now...

... previous swing high still intact...

... and always wait for candle close...

it's not so bad a feeling when you're on a scout mode... and price go against you...

so where is she heading now... is she for real?

i don't do anything at this point... this is not enough for me to kill my scout... i'm still on an attack mode...

let's continue feeling her... nimble!
