816.74 - when hanging out with friends

Many posts ago, I wrote something about socializing.
Today, I digested the main point of what I was trying to say, in a simple sentence.

Basically, it is 'Don't talk when you don't feel like talking'.

I realized that it filters out many awkward or unnatural things that I might say. Sometimes I am happier and calmer when I just keep quiet, to rest, to listen or just to do my own stuff.

I will more naturally build up the momentum to socialize when the time is right. And it is also closer to being myself, which is the sole theory I follow.

816.74 - nothing happened

Pull out my bet from last night. The Big Shadow did not proceed downwards, and it seems to be testing the resistant line again.

816.74 - New platform, and new bet

Today I went down to the GFT office in Robinsons Center building in the CBD. I really like the company, and also the friendly support they provide. I did not even bother to compare their spread rates as they made me feel so they are so trust-worthy.

Kathy Lien also used to work there before, and I guess some of the things that I am using now may have some way or another been contributed by her. Reading through the book halfway, I have to say it is an awesome book, compared to some of the other expensive Forex book I got.

Anyway today I ended up with another new trading platform. I am trying to get used to it, and it is pretty good. The software I am using is Dealbook 360, the in-house software of GFT. Previously I was using their web-based platoform.

Previous few posts, I talked about the Big Shadow forming in GBP/USD. I missed it, but saw another Big Shadow in EUR/USD. So this time I want to be in the game. Hopefully it turns out well. This is my first bet since so long ago. I am ready to go again, at the same time swallowing more knowledge from reading.

Equity:816.74 - About hair, really

For a long time, I have always admired and wondered why some men hair quality is better than others. I am not born with great hair quality, as evident in my family. My mother has quite little and thin hair, my father has thick and abundant of hair.

I am like my father, the better of the 2. It is just that even though it is thick and plenty, the quality is not nice. After much observation, consultation with friends and experimentation, I think I got it.

Below is my tad tedious routine, but it is still little time spent compared to the amount of time I will be spending outside and looking better.

• After work/outing, shampoo hair
• Apply Argan oil 

-------------------------------------------------

• Before going out, shampoo hair
• Use conditioner
• Apply Gatbsy 
• Hair spray to hold it

The reason why there are so many shampooing is because we use hair wax, especially Gatsby. It is hard to wash off, and washing your hair clean is important as it keeps your hair lighter and easier to style. Yesterday was my friend's wedding, and I washed my hair 3 times in a day due to a break in the middle of the day. But it still feels ok, or in fact better. Probably due to the fact that my hair is thicker and stronger. Frequent washing might not be good for people with thin hair.

I also bought Argan oil without Alcohol. People in the past call it liquid gold, it is basically an oil from a tree from some country. The feel of the oil is quite magical. It feels oily, yet it gets absorbed quickly, and you don't feel your hands are dirty without washing your hands. It is supposedly also good for your skin. The one I purchased is called '100% Monaco Argan oil', for around S$20. I press 3 drops of it for each application.

Also use a Gatsby hair wax. It is cheaper than some other brands like Sebastian clay, which cost around 3 times more. Sebastian is also not easily found anywhere, and the price stops me from trying it. I also tried some other Korean wax that is eager to compete with the Japanese company, but it simply does not hold as well. You have to trust Takuya Kimura.

Regarding how much wax I apply, I use my third finger tip and scoop up enough to cover the tip with a little thickness. Then I rub it into both palms until a little warm and apply it to whole hair. I heard its easily absorbed when its a little warm. Learnt it from a video in YouTube by a sissy guy, and its good knowledge.

Of all their wax, my favorite is the purple one. It is suitable for my hair length. I also have the pink one, whenever my hair got cut too short.

Equity:816.74 - crap

The Big Shadow is here, and it seems to be going downwards.
But I did not make a bet on it :(

Equity:816.74 - MT4 and Big Shadow on GBP?

I will be switching from using Dealbook to MT4. Just need to prepare some documents in office tmr and mail it to GFT Singapore. The reason for the switch is because it is good that I learn to use a more professional interface, and also I can save my settings for the next time I turn on my computer.

When I use Dealbook, which is a software using the internet, I always have to redraw the resistant lines again whenever I turn on my computer.

Anyway, it seems like GBP/USD might have a Big Shadow developing on the resistant line. Will see what happens tmr. Nightz!

Equity:816.74 - New idea to trade from Kathy's book

Some of the methods that are taught are surprising close to what I did last time.
Anyway, today I learnt a simple method of trend trading.

• Use Daily chart and see the overall trend
• Then switch to Hourly chart and look for a retracement to enter
• This is done by seeing the price hitting a resistant zone and bouncing away again

And the above forms a confluence between a major trend, and a resistant level.
