$$ trading update

i closed out thursday.





can't complain about decemeber. jan should be better one hopes. less interruptions. we haven't done pair selection yet, so we're trading with pairs in here that doesn't work. i'm waiting to see of even they turn green, but if we use just the top ten pairs you can double these results. if we then double the trade sizes to make up for the lost pairs you can double the results again...

soap box

this morning i bumped into internet censorship for the first time. i was looking for images and as often happens ended up on some weirdo site. except, when i clicked through there were message in thai. i don't speak thai, but being the enterprising young man that i am, i put it into the google translator.
it was a nice message from the police, saying basically that they had decided that that particular website is no good for me. no gambling, no sex and no sites that tell you how to get around censorship.

what's more is from yesterday morning people have been reporting having problems visiting sites like CNN, Facebook, Yahoo, Flickr...

hang on. i decide what's good for me. no one else.

the point that these nations are missing is that they are using technology developed by free men, to try and fight freedom. telecomm's, cars, planes, internet, mass production, cellphones, sattelites, computers - the list goes on. all developed by western societies that freed themselves from state domination and set up collaborative government to govern states, not people. although truthfully, that is once again at risk.

censored and repressed societies don't prosper. they decay. and using the technology developed by free people to repress your own people is in effect making you subservient to the free nations.

but i guess someone has to make the shoes, right?

south african humour

A Department of Water Resources representative (Philemon) stops at a Free State farm and talks with old farmer Koos.
He tells Koos, "I need to inspect your farm for the water allocation".
Koos says, "Okay, but don't go in that field over there".
Philemon says, "Meneer, I have the full authority of the ANC Government with me. See this card? This card means I am allowed to go WHEREVER I WISH on any agricultural land. No questions asked or answered. Have I made myself clear? Do you understand?"
Koos nods politely and goes about his chores. Shortly, thereafter Koos hears loud screams and spies Philemon running for his life followed close behind by the farmer's bull, who's gaining with every step.
Philemon is clearly terrified, and is screaming for help, so the old farmer throws down his tools, runs to the fence and yells at the top of his lungs.....
"Your card!!! Show him your card!!! "

there's a lesson in all of this. watch where you drive...

technical trouble

over and above another blown laptop, it transpires that our code acts differently on different pc's.

on the server it does one trade on a pair till the previous is closed. on my machine, multiples in the same direction. it's like two different EA's, but we can't find the difference.

don't know what causes it. just loooooooooove mt4...

in fact

looks like we did very well friday, 3% unrealized, now we wait and see monday..
