I am not God, I am not a crook : I will never pretend I can catch any given move from the beginning to its end. Never believe a guy who says such a non-sense. I am more than happy if I can grab one third of the move, usually the median section. And, more often, some ticks, here and there..The forexbirdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16615311341066493689noreply@blogger.com92tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7610262115002421025.post-7541269207029077872012-08-14T15:49:00.001+03:002012-08-14T15:54:12.980+03:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">A warm hello to you all! </span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I am on the mountains with family to avoid the awful heat of this bloody summer. After some comments on the previous post, i owe an explanation of my "disappearance<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 16px;">". So, h</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 16px;">ere is what I wrote to my friend Christian recently :</span></span><br />

As you know very well, nobody can stop this.. It is a kind of addiction.. better then to be profitable to avoid a complete ruin caused by addiction. During the 8 years I am in this stuff, i was losing money in the first 3, it took me another 3 years to break even and now i make some. But I easily give back the gains for a life with no forex and no pain. This is the reason I stopped posting in my blog.<i> <u>I don't want others to think that is an easy money scheme all this</u></i><u>.</u><b> </b></span><i style="background-color: white; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;"><b>It is not</b></i><span style="background-color: white; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;"> and the price to pay for these gains is your peace in mind, your life?

What are 9 ticks for the huge volatility of crude oil? Almost nothing. That's why it is relatively easy to catch them. No need to know what did the Iranians in Ormuz. No need to anticipate and get the entire price movement (there are MANY, anyway, everyday). All I need is to cash in some ticks here and there, based solely on momentum. Today I had these 9 and 10 more a little bit earlier. It is relatively easy if you are not greedy.

Hi Andrea, hi Christian!<br />
<br />I hope you are fine and family too!<br /><br /><br />
<br />
I , personally disappeared from earth recently because i am in deep depression. I
felt unable to communicate with anybody in the last month, except my children and
wife. I don't trade since January, I lost my motivation, and I made
childish mistakes before this -I am an awful trader when depressed. I
have to finish with my day job, my two bigger clients (advertising
companies) didn't pay me ( they got busted) and i lost thousands of
euros, so I have to close business myself too. All that (my mood and
situation) is the result of the disastrous moment of Greece right now. I
saw some of my best friends and relatives to pass into poverty within
weeks, losing jobs and their house. Not only the people but the middle
classes also are heavily under pressure now in my infamous country. We
live in a total and depressing <span class="ecxtranslation" lang="en">uncertainty. Tomorrow is the most crucial </span>day
in modern Greece's history. The parliament must approve the new bailout
terms. Tens of members of the parliament will not vote for this. If the
terms are not voted, Greece <i>will go busted within three days</i>. <br />
<br />
My occupations right now? I spend a lot of time with my daughters -the
biggest remedy-, I listen to music all day long, I read, I help the
suffering people when I can , I walk my dog.

What a film! A splendid, nostalgic metaphor of the silent Hollywood movies era, with superb story, actors, art directing, photography, music!! A French director made this big achievement, a genious rendition of an all-american theme and I bet my account that no American could do the same! Despite that, American critics are not blind : please read the enthusiastic review of the best of them, <a href="http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20111221/REVIEWS/111229993/1001" target="_blank">Roger Ebert</a>.<br />

Back to trading, after a long time. During my "vacation", I studied the behavior of several instruments on futures. Among them I liked crude oil the most. Lots of movements, very fast and brutal, and very fast reaction needed from the trader. My way to fight boredom.. Here are my first live trades on crude oil, with just 2 contracts. A roller coaster indeed, extreme emotions guaranteed every second! What I should precisely avoid !,, lol.The forexbirdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16615311341066493689noreply@blogger.com5
