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
