{quote} Go to school for 4 years, spend around $40,000 for it, and viola! Qualified traffic cone supervisor.
Seems like a worthwhile investment...

Well, compared to my forex investment before I started churning a profit.

Take my initial investment(s)...then take into consideration the time....be a fuckload of that.

And now add in my time on coding shit...

Watching a traffic cone for 40k and 4 years...good investment!!



Getting past all of that, watching a cone on somebody elses dime is a freebie ride. Forex...well...let's just say that some days/weeks are better than others.

My limited realm...

My Robots currently churn me between $250 and $300/week, live. I run multiple accounts, but typically these only feed the pig. With each new gain comes another idea and account. I am steering this to a steady 3k per week before I can really sit back n relax, and even at that...I still have to take the yearly average into play.

Babysitting a traffic cone with a guaranteed wage...really don't seem all that bad. Shit, I have sat days/weeks at a chart, having to still hit my current savings to pay the bills.

I agree 100%.

This started for me back n 09, ive burnt quite a few bucks playing the game. Profitable last year, much more so this year (adding gator's methods into my current charting w/ hatch's affection...oops, meant direction)

Currently as it sits, I refuse to leave my job with any less than 150k in savings, plus 150k in trading money- both could get me by for a year if everything went to hell. Even then....I keep thinking 250k is a much better number.

I know once I leave, I won't be going back- so I milk it while I can. They pay for extra school, i trade on the job, and I really do love the people. It's not bad work what so ever, and I actually have a fistfull of growth room as well (probably close to 3x what I make now). Retirement, medical...etc etc. Will take quite a bit to make me leave, trading is probably one of them- and that's only because I would finally get some freaking sleep! (trading, two jobs, school full time- I love all 4, so I cant easily give up one)

You wouldn't have to dip into your savings if you stopped demo trading and moved on to a live account.

Grimace was formerly Acroix...banned.

If you guessed he was banned for being a total dick, you'd be right!

He's one of my little stalkers, kind of amusing to see him wearing out his welcome mat before the "Multiple Nicknames" status shows up beside this identity.

You can, more than likely, expect him to visit you where ever you post and right up to hitting you on your profile.

He is a particular breed of nutsuck...Not really exceptional in any capacity but in his persistence to try and piss people off.

Oh...and before he says it openly, and going off of his character, you can almost expect it...he never banged my mom, lastnight or ever...

still keeping an eye on 1.0635 for a clue in the EU, shorts in the CAD seem like something interesting, maybe near 1.2630, for a chance at 1.2570 and 1.2545/50...thats about it right now...

maybe cable pushing through 1.4624 could signal a bottoming process, would look for longs on a pullback following that...

Yeap. Euro bears starting to cough at the lows on the european opening range with 1.049x naked for a test. Tracking the rejection of lows for the rest of the session as a failure to break down will kill the day and probably the next few sessions till the ECB. 1.070x is the one I am paying close attention for this week.
