Forex Notes - How to make your trading systematic and get rid of stress?


These can be horizontal support and resistance levels, trend lines, or technical patterns such as a triangle or flag.

I like to keep things as simple as possible, and my minimalistic approach to trading helps me to stay away from emotions and false hopes.

I prefer to use swing trading on higher timeframes in combination with price action.

Weird Dream


Dreamt I worked in a nuclear processing facility. We had glove boxes and all that for dealing with hot materials but I was working with what should have been low level material.

When we'd leave at the end of our shift, they'd go over us with a scanner to make sure we weren't contaminated. I showed some minor contamination on my hands but they scrubbed them real good, didn't decrease which suggested it was in me rather than on me. They scanned my forehead, saw some mild activity there too.

I had gone fishing and caught a Cod recently and it was not a real large Cod, about 15lbs or so but even so more than a meal so I froze most of it but ate some of it. They wanted a sample so I brought them in a piece and it was mildly radioactive.

They said not enough to pose a significant health threat but I had caught it about thirty miles from the facility so they were concerned they might be leaking materials into the ocean.

I woke up at that point.

This is an interesting video. Now Larry will say the guy is simply psychotic but I know his real motivation for the fear porn is the fact that he has a multi-million emergency food supply company. Personally, I think these companies should all be disbanded because it's a lot cheaper and more reliable just to buy a decent supply of that can be stored for long periods of times like canned meats / seafood, dried grains, canned fruits and vegetables, etc. So obviously getting people's fear response up makes for good sales of his products.

While I think most of his conclusions are patently absurd, like China invading us if Trump wins, let me say I've taken three years of Chinese language classes with instructors who are native Chinese and I believe I've learned enough about the culture to know this is extremely unlikely, and from a military standpoint it is also unlikely, the reason being that the Chinese lack the navy and/or air force necessary to move a large number of troops quickly. They can fight a hell of a ground war within the range of where they can transport troops across land, but outside of that not so much. Further the general notion that a large EMP event would take out the US electrical grid for several years is just bullshit. A couple of decades ago when high voltage transmission lines were not fused, it would have been possible, because a large electromagnetic pulse would induce enough current in transformers to burn out windings and large transformers take a long time to manufacture, particularly when your manufacturing facilities are down, so a couple of years may have been reasonable, but today many long distance interties are DC and these are by their nature immune to EMP, and the AC lines are all fused, so what happens is they blow a bunch of fuses and it takes a few days to replace them, not a few years. Ok, so for these reasons I don't think a military attack would succeed. But beyond that, the culture of the Chinese people is one of thinking on the largest scale on down, the good of the entire planet more important than the good of China which in turn is more important than the good of a province which in turn is more important than the good of a city, which in turn is more important than the individual, that aspect, the other is they tend to be a rather pragmatic people and such an attack would not be good for anyone, and lastly they are a patient people, they will simply wait out four years for a better opportunity.

And I think he knows this but he wants to sell emergency supplies, he's built a multi-million business selling this fear porn.

So that said, while I disagree entirely with most of his conclusions, many of his data points are accurate and interesting but I think any sane person will draw their own conclusions.

Nanook

@Robbie Yea no kidding and it is their desire to control everyone and everything that leads them to invent all this stupid fear porn in the first place. I'm 62, in the 60's we learned duck and cover, a nuclear war was coming any second, in the 70's we were told the climate was going to go into an ice age because all the crap we were putting into the atmosphere was preventing sunlight from making it through, then in the 80's peak oil was just around the corner and then we'd all starve to death because we'd have no oil to run farm equipment, transport food, etc, now it's global warming, and so yea after a while you get to recognize that it is just this weeks bullshit. The reality is eventually something will happen that will end civilization as we know it, but likely we won't have much warning, it will be natural in origin, and it will be sudden, like a large asteroid strike or a super volcano large eruption. Our best hope at avoiding our extinction as a civilization and species is not to put on the breaks as the libtards would suggest but quite the opposite, develop our energy capabilities, which gives us more ability to control our environment, develop our space capabilities, the ultimate protection against these sorts of events is becoming a multi-planet and ideally multi-stellar civilization.
