WOW.
I was meditating, until i fell asleep.
Then since the mind was very active.
I had a dream.

I meet with some spaceship and a few aliens.
They had some very interesting metals.
I asked how much?
In usd terms, would theys sell it to me
They told me they not accept, because they not so stupid to give it to me exchange for paper.

The journey must have been very long. time flys when i am having so much fun.
I woke up and its already night time again.

regards

eeeeeer i forgot ask if they accept plastic cards.
eeeeeer Probably not. The oceans is filled of plastic.

Hi guys,

I have been doing research on the strategies used by online retail currency traders and have found that most of the studies out there don’t seem to focus on retail currency traders or look into them as a section of global currency traders. (Frommel, Hang, & Van Gysegem, 2015) (Neely & Weller, 2011) (Bank for International Settlements, 2011) and (Omrane, Bauwens, & Giot, 2003) are an example of such studies (you can check for the references to them below). The studies shown above represent many studies conducted on strategies used in currency trading that have a general view of who trades currencies.
Although there are some studies that point to online retail currency traders (which I can share in my literature review), they are simply not enough. Especially given the fact that the currency markets are more accessible today and online retail currency traders are increasingly becoming a key part of the global currency trade.

Another problem I found while conducting my research was that lot of research done on trading strategies fails to discuss the underlying reasons for choosing a trading strategy. Studies like Pukthuanthong-Le and Lee (2008) for instance used a database of currency futures from 1975 to 2006 to illustrate the existence of technical trading. Frommel Hang & Van Gysegem (2014) use models to establish a relationship between changing fundamentals and market volatility. Omrane, Bauwens & Giot (2003) look at intraday data within a certain framework and volatility models, to show spikes in volatility as a result of changing fundamentals. These studies point to certain strategies used in currencies but fail to show the underlying reason for their use. Even in studies like Cheung and Chinn (2001) that have a direct approach where they get information directly from surveys carried on institutional traders. The study doesn’t show why traders use certain strategies and not others.
All this has led me to believe that there is a need for information on retail currency traders, especially on the strategies they use and the reason for their use. If we are to move forward and reinvent ourselves there’s a need to understand where we stand and what motivates us.

This has motivated me to carry out a research to better understand retail currency traders, the strategies they use and the various factors behind their use. I believe that as a trading community we should build on our body of knowledge just as institutions carry extensive research on trends on their fields to help them move forward.

noted. forgiven.

Just to explain.

Mostly we not know each other very well.
But sometimes some personal information and photographs are given in good faith.

Some people use photos of animals or landscape or some pictures they like for their avatars because of privacy.
I can understand why.
This is the internet.

When people use others personal photographs or information gained by social networking as their own for avatars, i tend to be very cautious of them.
Because to me it amounts to impersonating others, like as in thief of others identity.
That for me is rather unacceptable.
I always trust that information acquired in good faith should always be well guarded because if it fell to unscrupulous people, bad things can happen.

I always like be friends with upstanding honourable people.
I find it distasteful, if people use my personal photos or that of my friends for their use as their avatar.
Sometimes people may unknowingly do it.
But is not honourable behaviour.
And it can lead to all sorts fraud.

How would anyone feel if i used their personal photographs as my avatar?
enough said. Honourable people will understand.

Thank you for your becoming messager.
It is noted that there was no malicious intent.
i have unblocked.
i hope this not repeats.

regards

{quote} I have sat to think how i can say somethings that may be meaningful way answer your question. Generally, markets are driven by many factors. The longer your trade tenure, the more the differing factors comes into play. In the short tenure, the most critical/dorminant factors are the timing factors. In shortest time frames are the buying and selling, which drives the prices. This why you see random walk plays in prices. As time expands, these entry and exits of trades will look like meaningless noise. So many position traders will try filter...

"this video is private"

Hey FTI, where/what is the tittle of the song that you posted recently, that had something like "count on yourself" in the lyric, I was listening to it yesterday but cant find it now.
Kindly advise please

Mandarin song
Fall in love with the process, and the outcome takes care of itself.

my friend.This is the internet.
People share their values and attachments in dream like state.
Sometimes its there, sometimes cannot find.
Some people share.
Some people allows. Some people no allows.
Some people are communal , some are commerce.
When is commerce you are expected buy a ticket.
Why you think there is poverty?
Guess who created poverty.
But if its not food, shelter or clothing.
somethings one can live without.

Sometimes have very kind souls comes shares things peeps can live without, just to make ones life more meaningful.
Maybe one cannot find "count on yourself" because kopirights blocked.
If they no allow share, then you find someday , maybe a kind soul may share "count on yourself".

i only takes what the markets gives.
When released, if in 5 years i don't buy it, I probably won't buy it forever.
I don't like eat rotten food. I only drink stuff thats 18 years fermented, and thats infrequently.
Some people like hord billions in banks, then they expires.

Anyway "count on yourself" Its a myth.
For 18 years from day 1 i counted on Dad and Mom for everything.
1 day without and i would had been non existent.

But the irony is, there is no way repay the kindness.

OK, the easy version.
In every INDUSTRY.
Some people create things because they have a passion that drives them do it.
Some people create things because they have training, if they don't then they have nothing else to do.
Some people create things, sells it to pimps and you know what they ultimately becomes.

regards

the easier version.
