Flat. USD not looking so good right now.

Gold slipping now

1.1340 would be a pause. Last Friday's high.

Usdjpy looking for it to go much higher now.

I was seeing selling this afternoon, and the usdjpy kept holding higher. Then the whipsaw.

Got back in a little bit higher. It occurred to me that it might have been the last wave I was seeing. When it started to fail I jumped on it again. So far so good.

Flat.

Right here feels like the breaking point either way. Still holding long USD.

Short after some unsuccessful attempts. Short euro 1.1809, Aussie .7787, Nzd .7074, GBP 1.3206. Nzd and Euro biggest positions.

Ed Seykota talks about getting to "Right Livelihood". I'm not sure I've ever experienced it but I feel intuitively that it is important. That is another side of spiritual life that people don't necessarily talk about. You want to be in the flow. When you aren't, especially in trading, you'll...

I started to see that I was wrong a lot, more often than I cared to admit. But through that awakening I began to see other points of view which I had previously discarded, as possibly having some truth. So that applied to everything, even religion or spirituality. I knew for instance that two...

Sometimes I get so crossed up that I have to stop everything including trading. Then all there is left to do is meditate. Then I start feeling better and wonder why I just didn't start there instead of ending there.

Ill prepared. Not prepared. Thank you.

As far as the corporate BS goes . . . I try to see it as a type of herd mentality. Some people actually seem to enjoy working for the man. I try to incorporate this type of thinking into my trading. It can be as simple as where did everyone get in on this move, where will they panic, did...

The one good thing about having an addictive personality-- when I sound like the OP my friends will usually suggest that I might need a meeting.

Yes. Trading teaches me to (try to) keep an open mind always. About everything, including my ideas about what is spirituality. It also taught me that what I think is not necessarily reality, but is just related to it somehow. That there is a whole level of perception I can access if I'm ready. I...

What happened to you in school if you got the wrong answer on a test? How about work? What happens if you make a mistake? If you keep making mistakes at work, what will happen to you? Ok, now try to trade.
