Model Example from May

 One of may's pearls..

GamePlan Sunday 02/03/2015

Daily layout, key zones & directional bias. We're clearly consolidating so action can get tricky & spiky. I usually like it so mostly trading ranges. At the same time actively looking for trending setups. Especially on Yens, Aud/Usd & Dax. Medium to long-term usdx strength bias. Volatile week to come so approaching it with an open mind.

Usd/Jpy, Gbp/Usd, Eur/Usd

Game Plan: Short-term trading ranges. Long-term positioning for usdx longs.

UsdJpy Gameplan:

GbpUsd into solid short zone:

EurUsd- reverse of UsdJpy:

Summary of last few posts on Thorium.

Been researching & posting on interesting technology based on relatively abundant, safe & cheap energy source- Thorium.

Technology with potential but judge for yourselves.

Health: Second Gerson Documentary

Healthy body, healthy mind. Mental form is important in trading. Personally looking for any edge. Juicing for years and am largely following Gersons nutritional advice (ex. coffee fun) which is mainly organic, plant based diet. Just found this second Gerson documentary with Japanese researchers confirming some results so faint signs main-stream might get there some day. Worth a watch if you like the idea of food being your medicine, staying in top mental & physical form for longer. (*Better to watch the first one first.)

Second Gerson Documentary

Short, Sweet & Simple video on "How the economic machine works" by Ray Dalio

Simple but not simplistic and easy to follow 30 minute, animated video answers the question, "How does the economy really work?" Based on Dalio's practical template for understanding the economy, which he developed over the course of his career, the video breaks down economic concepts like credit, debt, deficits and interest rates, allowing viewers to learn the basic driving forces behind the economy, how economic policies work and why economic cycles occur.

$bcoin tulip fractal?

I recently posted this chart noticing some similarities between the two based on fractal work by @edmatts. I have been buying and selling bitcoins without leverage since early months of the year mentioned back in Our Trading Room days.

As mentioned in the room and on twitter-stream did take 40% off earlier on at around $250 highs to take the initial risk off. Bought some back at 50% retracement off first $900 highs at little below $500 and selling half of all exposure at under $1000 mainly based on those similarities.

No idea how far they will go and as much as I like the idea of de-centralized non-privately owned currency systems. I partly treat it as a trade so that's the logic behind it all. Leaving about 15% in just in case this time is different.

Looking into #Litecoin and #QuarkCoin and buying some at current rates just in case and for the record. FYI there are many more out there. Am curious which ones will survive. Loving ideas and models behind some of those new crypto-currencies.
