One of them might be adorable and nice with plans of moving to San Diego.

But most likely they will be super hyper and obnoxious

Worth a shot from a RR perspective

Haha hey man!

I've been the only ops guy in the back office for the first time, the rest have been out of town for certain reasons for a couple weeks.

Before my evil boss left she said "I've only shown you 20% of what you will be doing while we're gone it's going to be horrendous"

I was like great let me get a list of the topics I don't know so I can get ready.

"Nope"

But the good thing is that since they've been out I've been reporting directly to the CFO, who's a cool guy. I've been stepping up my game and getting shit done so I've...
That all sound great, man! Aside from cunty boss...and San Fran!

But...you're being challenged...using your brain. Getting into what you want to do...making connections (that can last forever)...getting paid! So long as you're having some fun at least somewhere along the way...not at all bad, mate. Great to hear...thanks for the update!

Managing to put any trades on yourself...or on the back burner for now?

Big jump up. Defining your limits is good. Only happens from experience. A couple of losses will help shape that definition pretty quick!

Good stuff, mate.

I'm getting more comfortable trading from my phone, have it propped up between my screens. Nobody seems to mind.

At work no trades yet, but today I talked to a compliance officer about getting this license that will allow me to trade my own accounts. Got a thick ass book for the exam within the hour. My plan is to get small accounts with family and friends and try to show good returns to get bigger investors.

For clients my trading would be totally different than currency trading, mostly following sectors and writing calls and puts, as that's the MO of the firm. Not something I'm used to though.

On EU managed to grab 38 pips off of the 2500 level this morn, but got burned fading M5 supply halfway up the previous rally. Overall green for the day though. Sell at 2549 wasn't filled.

Any good trades for the day or week?

When you write options you get paid because you're obligated to buy or sell, but you might not have to.

So you can open and close positions while getting paid, or you just get paid.

Nice

I always find the phone fine to trade off...so long a I've spent a good bit of time studying charts before hand. If I'm in sync with the market...phone is fine for pips!

Good news on the book...get stuck in! Will be good to learn about calls and puts first hand. Isn't going to hurt and will stay with you forever.

My lady was in town all week, so I had pretty limited trading activity. Finished today at exactly -2% but my weekly targets finished at the "happy" levels...was a very fine week all around. Really shifted over to Gold of late...still dabble in EU and AU, but really digging the Gold flows.

Also Oanda's current app includes their wire, so it's getting way easier to follow shit on the go. I love tradeinterceptor's charting app it's the best I've seen.
