    Heavily Shorting USDJPY since last week friday and stopped!

    USDJPY Can somebody please tell me how to avoid these unnecessary wicks? I've been shorting USDJPY since last week Friday 'cause I was thinking that my position is already the top yet this happened. My speculation on a bigger picture is correct, however I got stopped anyway.. DXY (I've...

    I encountered a lot of people who even start a company just to get the trade license making them eligible to acquire visas for the entire family.

    Hey, sorry for late response.. I just have a couple more materials to look at before I can check this out. But I do know him and I think he's fine.

    I used to have a company visa a couple of months ago when I was still working.. Right now I'm on visit visa and thinking if I should just get a freelance or just get another job with time flexibility like a realtor.

    If that's how you look at it then so be it (that's your perspective). Competition is everywhere and inevitable. I'd rather play poker than scam or deceive others. Regarding purpose; it's only eye (I) who knows.. ;)

    Ahh now it make sense why you asked. Yes, I have thought about it. Based on my calculations I should be able to be profitable sooner, but if ever I'm not profitable yet within 6-9months (God forbid), I'm gonna start getting a normal job to save money to try again..

    I can't really remember the books I read then, but I like "Way of The Wolf: Straight Line Selling," by Jordan Belfort a lot.. I'm not sure why my sales background matter, but since I was a kid I guess I can sell although I'm not actively selling stuffs. I just know I can sell, and I find it...

    Sales book? If you meant trading book... I tried reading "the disciplined trader" by mark douglas but didn't finish it for some reason.

    Yes I have observed this, as I get better I'm able to switch between timeframes from 1H to 1D. But I also look at 15m, 30m, 45m and 1W just to see confirmations.. Yes I'm one of those traders, who blow up their account. But the thing I learned why I blew up the account is the lack of knowledge...

    I would say artistic and intuitive trading as this fits my brain, however I believe rules based is still applied to it in a way and I call it discipline and risk management. Based on my current strategy, I'm more comfortable trading a higher timeframe. With the timezone, I think I'd be able to...

    It's okay, its not for everybody to understand. But maybe it can do you good in your personal life if I explain a little bit so I'm gonna do it.. At some point in my life I realized that pursuing to be a pilot is just survivng/existing and I found it depressing. I contemplated a little bit...

    I understand. Thank you for the heads up.. I think professional trader aspirants must have the skill to read between lines and call bullshit on sight. I believe in benefit of doubt, but I have a risk management into what extent I would tolerate it :))

    I don't think I'd ever regret choosing the path I did. I found my purpose leaving that path, I found the missing piece in my heart and even if I fail, I would still be happy that I tried my best, because such is life.
