Vreau sa devin trader

Nu imi place sa fiu un Lemming, sa lucrez intr-o firma, sa am un sef subiectiv, sa depind de bonusul dat la fel de subiectiv.
As vrea sa lucrez de acasa, de oriunde de pe glob, din Romania, sa fac bani cu capul meu.
De aceea, m-am hotarat sa invatz sa tradui.
Dupa experienta nimicitoare din primavara m-am hotarat sa incep, sa invat si sa consider asta o meserie, nu o ruleta.
Incerc in fiecare zi sa citesc despre subiect, momentan FX trading.

Succesfull trade

This morning I got the signal to sell EURUSD from http://www.mataf.net/en/forex/eurusd#2009-12-16%2007:21:52, where in my opinion are very fine forex analysisses
The trend during the last weeks was for the USD to get stronger, so the signal was in the trend
I rightly put stops and targets, but exited before reaching the target with 110 CHF profit (12% up of my confidence building account).
Right now, after 3 deals I'm slightly in plus from where I started

Learned today:
1. Put stop orders
2. Trade should be closely timed to analysts timing
3. Get out of the trade if you have a nice profit, don't be greedy

Running with a broken hand

Sport
3 weeks ago I fell really badly on the stairs while going to the bathroom at 6 o clock in the morning and fractured my left tumb.
Since then, I have this really nice Gips and being a leftie, at the beginning it was really awkward to wear it
Today its the first day I went to the gym and rand with the Gips on. It worked, I didn't feel any pain.

Trading
Traded today USDCHF and lost 60 CHF. The whole trade was jeopardised due to psychological causes:
1. First, I came late to work
2. I opened Saxotrade and manaf.com and saw some really nice signals, but I was too late
3. Greed kicked in, and I played totally against the signals
Lost the money, and got out
My takeaway: Never enter a trade on gut feeling again, it will go wrong

Paris

Spent 4 wonderfull days in Paris with Raluca from Thursday to Sonday.

Went with the TGV, kids stayed home, were just like students. Only a little bit more tired. And with high bloodpressure. And caughing from cigarettes

Stayed at the hotel Innova, nice 2 star hotel in Montparnasse: http://www.innova-paris-hotel.com/

Were at the Louvre and searched in vain for the impressionists.



Then we remembered that all the nice pictures are at the Musee d'Orsay





We also ate in fancy and not so fancy restaurants, mainly Japanese food :-)

Project Lean Kramer

Back from 2 weeks of all inclusive food and breverages in Turkie, I realized with horror that I'm back to where I was 2 years ago, at 97 kg.
Desperate measures for challengin times: I'll have to loose 10 kg till the end of the year. So, no cookies, no bread, no, fast-food, and, I'll document everithing I eat till I get where I want.

Un weekend linistit

Sambata am fost cu David la cumparaturi.
Intai la Coop.  Programul nostru e urmatorul: Intai facem runda si cumparam ce e pe lista, pe urma platim si pe urma David se duce sa se joace la Migros Restaurant. Eu imi iau o cafea si ma uit la el.
Dupa Coop ne-am dus la Bauhaus si am cumparat nisip, pamant si nimicuri.

Dupa-masa am dat perdelele jos.

Pe urma ne-am jucat in gradina Federball, noua noastra pasiune. David devine din ce in ce mai profi in a juca jocul asta. Seara Raluca a vopsit o parte din fatada casei in alb, eu am citit, pe urma ne-am uitat la doua filme.

Unul se numea:
The Hangover http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1119646/
Un film usor, cu mult comic de situatie

Celalalt:
Obsessed (2009): http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1198138/
Slabut, l-am vazut dupa ce s-a culcat Raluca

N-am mai avut nici o problema cu tensiunea, sunt stabil pe la 125/70, dar pe medicamente. Ce ma nemultumeste este ca de cand m-am lasat de nicotina m-am ingrasat, si imi lipseste momentan taria sa renunt la pofte

Duminica am stat in gradina, am dormit de pranz, am tradus CVuri in engleza

Seara ne-am dus sa vedem cum arata Fisher Scientific, peisaj dezolant, cu statie de transformare in fata. Ulterior un Kebab in Dietikon, impreuna cu "toata floarea Elvetiei", vorba Ralucai :-)
