this puppy also ready for a sell or a bounce

this level looks pretty significant:



should imagine when europe kicks in we'll go through with alacrity or bounce hard.

this storm was cat 1 here, the tow rope broke and hit our vessel, which promptly split open and started taking water, mostly on the clients fridge. the italian's had run out of tomatoes and was threatening a general riot. happy days!! we steamed around outside the harbor for three days, fitting survival suits and doing other "everything is fine" fun things while we waited for a gap in the weather to go find shelter in the harbor where we should have been weeks ago. another sterling example of profits before safety.

frustration

i must say i find the forex world really frustrating.

the first problem is of course that brokers make money when you lose. if you don't lose they have back office functions which will make you lose. like changing the volatility of your feed, iow's they put spikes in your feed. they can flag your account - and i quote here from someone with back end experience - "make life difficult" for you.

of course the industry could have been set up to make people succeed, but the kind of mind that exists purely to profit at any cost wouldn't even consider that. its vulgar to say the least.

i have the software to out trade them. took me years to develop. i feel sorry for any house that tries to shake out my trades. they're going to be working real hard to try and throw a system that trades 30 pairs and calculate signals over with 24 hours worth of data. little volatility not going to shake my tree.

what i do find most frustrating is people just don't believe i can do this. whenever i tell people what i do, they either think its illegal, impossible or if i bring up the business side unsellable. i can literally make multi-millionaires, but most people i tell what i do and what my results are give me a string of reasons why what i'm doing everyday is impossible. that despite the fact that i been fighting this thing for five years. almost everyone i know is an expert in forex and investing and know exactly why this can't be done, including the guest house owner i'm staying in, well as soon as i explained to her what forex is. i suddenly understand very clearly why some people become wealthy while others don't.

so stuff it. i'm not begging anyone to get rich, i don't need extra funds. i make money trading forex with a black box and i don't care if you don't believe me. stay poor, find a few more excuses if you need to.

i'll be in the jungle for a while. good luck with that "working for a living, bond slave" thing.

seeing that the market is so quiet, have a look at this really big buddha, you don't get a true sense of the scale till you look at the building behind it. that building is a rather large temple...
