Fap Turbo for sell

I want to sell my Fap Turbo EA.

This EA is well known as good scalping system, but usually unsuccessful with longer term strategies.

It works in the hours after New York close and before Tokyo open on EUR/GBP EUR/CHF GBP/CHF and USD/CAD 15 minutes charts and quickly generates small profit.

For more info comment here or email.

The best EA - Bulgaria OLE!

Testing Artificial Intelligence EA

The world of EA's is quite interesting. All sorts of people out there. Some are expecting the miracle - to throw EA on a chart with it's default settings and to get rich overnight. Others are complaining that all was fine on demo but then EA ruined their account. Smarties are getting free EA's and trying to sell them. Quite amusing.

I personally will not feel comfortable to live EA on real account in the night but maybe I just need some time to get used to this risky business.

Decided to test myself Artificial Intelligence EA after getting enough of all independent testers. Now I am running this EA on Alpari demo account of $500 with 0.01 lot size.

This version is made by the russian Yuri Reshetov and is free.
So far it's -16.62$ I am planing to wait to 20% loss if things are going in this direction and the I will try the modified version.

Long EUR/USD

at 1.2550 I will add at 1.25

Market overview

I am just in short USD/CAD at 1.2930
I am keeping an eye on
NZD/USD for long at 49.40
AUD/USD for short above 65.00 and long under 63.50
EUR/JPY for short at 1.25 or above with very tight stop

I am considering
long USD/CHF at 1.17

Stressless

I am realizing that so far I am not taking my trade quite seriously. This bad habit can turn in personal financial disaster with bigger account. Because of that I decided to get rid of the gambling habits like scalping with 5 or 10 minilots when my account is under $200.

Yesterday I made the decision one and only one lot for every single trade. This made me relaxed, more confident and without adrenaline rushes.

The result was quite positive today. When I was sipping my espresso I took several position and all of them turned to be profitable except long EUR/USD at 12666 closed with 20 pips loss.

Today I made Total 12 trades with +103.1 $9.94 this all inclusive two long positions AUD/USD and NZD/USD closed in the night.

I dont think to post all my trades anymore as it seems useles waste of space.

Weekend reading

So long, suckers. Millionaire hedge fund boss thanks 'idiot' traders and retires at 37

* Andrew Clark in New York
* The Guardian, Saturday 18 October 2008
* Article history

The boss of a successful US hedge fund has quit the industry with an extraordinary farewell letter dismissing his rivals as over-privileged "idiots" and thanking "stupid" traders for making him rich.

Andrew Lahde's $80m Los Angeles-based firm Lahde Capital Management made a huge return last year by betting against subprime mortgages.

Yesterday the 37-year-old told his clients that he had hated the business and had only been in it for the money. And after declaring he would no longer manage money for other people, because he had enough of his own, Lahde said that instead he intended to repair his stress-damaged health; he made it clear he would not miss the financial world.

"The low-hanging fruit, ie idiots whose parents paid for prep school, Yale and then the Harvard MBA, was there for the taking," he wrote. "These people who were (often) truly not worthy of the education they received (or supposedly received) rose to the top of companies such as AIG, Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers and all levels of our government," he said.

"All of this behaviour supporting the aristocracy only ended up making it easier for me to find people stupid enough to take the other side of my trades. God bless America."

Lahde became one of the biggest names in the investment industry when one of his funds produced a return of 866% last year, largely by forecasting the US home loans industry would collapse.

In his farewell letter, which concluded with an appeal for the legalisation of marijuana, Lahde said he was happy with his rewards and did not envy those who had made even more money.

"I will let others try to amass nine, 10 or 11 figure net worths. Meanwhile, their lives suck," he wrote, citing a life of back-to-back business appointments relieved only by a two-week annual holiday in which financiers are still "glued to their Blackberries".

Lahde's retirement came amid an implosion among the hedge fund industry - some 350 of the funds have liquidated this year, according to Hedge Fund Research.

His final words of advice? "Throw the Blackberry away and enjoy life."

Well... demo reality:)

Today's positions

I am tempted to enter with one more lot in EUR/JPY but will try to resist.

Who am I

I have opened live account of $200 with deltastock several years ago and without knowing what exactly I am doing I made $400 profit and shortly after that lost everything.

Occasionally I have been trying several demos for a few days. After I have tried the micro platform of FXCM I liked it very much and the easiness to make money with demo account is well known so I decided to start live.

In October I have opened account with $150 then I made it $240 then I was near to the margin call with less than $50 and now I am around $86 with two long positions in EUR/JPY and CHF/JPY hopefully there will be some $$ to be made.

I have followed the online course for beginners of FXCM and I have learned some very basics.

In the meantime I try to make some scalping - usually successful with EUR/JPY and disastrous with EUR/USD an I feel like I have to trade for sure and this is my main mistake, I recon.

For the time frame 21 October 2008 until 10 February 2009 I have made nearly 350 trades with maybe 500 microlots.

Awesome link

The daily technical analysis, Mizuho CB is just the type I got good feeling about. Follow the signs, Neo!

What I will do

The article on fxstreet by Nicole Eliott (Mizuho Corporate Bank) confirmed my idea to go long with CHF/JPY somewhere under 78.00 level

Their strategy: Buy at 78.00, adding to 77.00; stop below 75.00. Add to longs on a weekly close above 80.00 to cover between 84.00 and 86.00 and then wait for potential signs of topping.

My strategy: Buy under 78.00 with target 79.00 and stop below 75.00. What about risk-reward ratio? Not important in this case IMHO.

Today's Hall of shame

Entry order EUR/JPY 115.00

For the last month the price have gone under 115.00 price seven times and never closed the day under this Maginot Line. I am placing entry order for long EUR/JPY at 115.00 and let Holly Dolly be with me.

Ooops - I am just in. Thank you Dolly. http://www.deezer.com/track/38820

I am placing limit at 115.30 for limiting the loss of $20 last days. Hallelujah.

Ooops - just hit the limit. Trying again the same exercise. The point is not to be greedy like me but to keep the position for longer... lets say 120.00 could be nice target yamy-yamy

Closing CHF/JPY

I am considering closing of the position CHF/JPY from 23 January +150 pips.

My target was not reached but was very close around 79.00 at 27 January.

If the price will fall under 76.50 probably I will enter long again.

Airline humour from Qantas

After every flight, Qantas pilots fill out a form, called a "gripe sheet," which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft.

The mechanics correct the problems; document their repairs on the form, and then pilots review the gripe sheets before the next flight.

Never let it be said that ground crews lack a sense of humor.

Here are some actual maintenance complaints submitted by Qantas' pilots (marked with a P) and the solutions recorded (marked with an S) by maintenance engineers.

P: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement.
S: Almost replaced left inside main tire.

P: Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough.
S: Auto-land not installed on this aircraft.

P: Something loose in cockpit.
S: Something tightened in cockpit.

P: Dead bugs on windshield.
S: Live bugs on back-order.

P: Autopilot in altitude-hold mode produces a 200 feet per minute descent.
S: Cannot reproduce problem on ground.

P: Evidence of leak on right main landing gear.
S: Evidence removed.

P: DME volume unbelievably loud.
S: DME volume set to more believable level.

P: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick.
S: That's what they're for.

P: IFF inoperative.
S: IFF always inoperative in OFF mode.

P: Suspected crack in windshield.
S: Suspect you're right.

P: Number 3 engine missing.
S: Engine found on right wing after brief search.

P: Aircraft handles funny.
S: Aircraft warned to straighten up, fly right, and be serious.

P: Target radar hums.
S: Reprogrammed target radar with lyrics.

P: Mouse in cockpit.
S: Cat installed.

And the best one for last...

P: Noise coming from under instrument panel. Sounds like a midget pounding on something with a hammer.
S: Took hammer away from midget

Creation or Evolution?

Most of the ID/Creationism authors are using the same silly arguments again and again.

I will use one example from another blogger - What you will think if your government pay $ 500 000 for scientific research to find out why in city of X cases of allergy and asthma are increased and after the research the scientist explain to you shortly “The cases of allergy and asthma in the city X are increased by the Gods will (or by the will of the Intelligent Designer if you like it more)” isn’t that neat o? And why when one of your family members is missing you are reporting in the police and not suggest that he was taken by Holy Ghost like Elias?

For me the case is closed - http://talkorigins.org/indexcc/

Solomon’s wisdom and knowledge - give me a break

Just fooling around wordpress I found hardcore admirer of bible, Solomon etc. nonsense

http://samuelatgilgal.wordpress.com/2008/09/15/what-would-you-ask-for/

Neato song for background of the articles about king Solomon http://www.deezer.com/track/55162

Obviously the God did not give him too much wisdom. Apart of the knowledge that if the blade is not sharp enough you will need more force - conclusion from the times of Homo Erectus, Solomon married 300 and abused 400 women and made them his slaves. I bet he even did not know their names - can you imagine how many 700 persons are? Try to remember 700 names of people you know - not easy task. Well so many human beings the “wise” king got himself. Even the muslims are tending to stop marrying when they already have nearly ten wive’s.

I can imagine Solomon picking up wife while riding around and seeing nice chick. Then he says to the chief of his bodyguards for example let call him Josh.

Solomon:”Hey Josh - other nice peace of meat. Yay”
Josh (while thinking “damn, not again”):”Yeah, you want her?”
Solomon:”Sure, she’s pretty isn’t she? Go tho her father and ask for the price.”
Josh:”Why you just don’t rape her - according to bible then she will cost you only fifty shekel”
Solomon:”Not today - I am in romantic mood. Just go and ask for the price, you lazy bastard!”

After going to the next village Josh comes with news:
“The old fox wants 500″
Solomon:”Bring him 250 and tell him to shut up otherwise I will take her for free and will hang up the old greedy bastard! After that take the chick to the palace - tonight I will merry her, hahahahaha.”

Feel free to imagine the destiny of the wife (female slave) No 576 of the king “wiseass” Solomon
