"A loss never bothers me after I take it. I forget it overnight. But being wrong - not taking the loss - that is what does damage to the pocketbook and to the soul."
J Livermore
Good quote, Arch!

I nearly added another short on Friday...had the pending order ready to roll, but thought better of it. Would have broke my rule on a daily loss %. Took the loss and played another day.

I've been trying something recently that I read a while ago: If you play "zones" of any sort...Supply/Demand, Support/Res...whatever you want to call them, but NO MA crosses, or OB/OS indy entries... How do I explain this..?

On Friday, I was going to let a Short order trigger at 1.0453 on Aussie while price was moving up. If it filled, it would have run me over (even worse). I didn't let it fill, but what you do is allow price to go above, and then place a pending order right there for when it comes back down. A chart...

Still experimenting with it...reduced lots. But...if I still like a zone...its been working OK. Anyway...I found it an interesting approach, maybe someone else will, too.



EDIT: Typo in chart at top left: REST == RESET

Nice candle forming right now. Is real...or a fakie? Would have liked a little higher, but still may jump in.

Is pink OK? I'm not PK...pink is glorious, brother!

I need to get my latest bot up and running. it trades purely on price (or, however you can interpret price into a programtic fashion).

It's primary plays are entries on Supply turned demand (buy the demand), and demand turned supply (sell the new supply).

God I have no life. lol. I'm such a geek.

Yep...that's some good sheeet, brother...very potent!

Can't wait for the nail to be in April's coffin. Perhaps May will bring some f l o w, instead of chop-chop shite!

Shorts were good holds from Friday, though...well played, mate!

Thinking of using my newly aquired iOS dev skills to create a Beer Snob app. Help you locate crafty beers that you are in dire need of consumption, but don't know where it is offered. Woot!

Nice! Beer geek chic!

Have you seen that app that is a pint of beer? You tilt it like a glass and it empties. Good to show a barman from a distance when the well is dry!

LOL, no I haven't. Have heard that there are a lot of novelty based beer apps though! hahaha.

Only thing I hate about apple. They want you to pay 100$ / yr just for the privledge of being able to put apps up on the iTunes store. W-T-F! Greedy bastards. Should you actually sell your app for a price, they then take 30% of the sale! Greedy is what I call them. yikes!
