FX Trader's Diary 2/17/18

Wait, you mean it's time to big short?

Attention!

They shorted DXY for saving SP500.

DXY will still surge?

Dude, it sounds scary.

In a short term, we will know if it coming.

^^^^^^^^
Nonsense I know, it's just hard to say. 🤦‍♂️

I know, right? 😨

They have to pull back cash on the market.

That sounds legit

IMHO, June or September

just speculation

maybe this time they are serious

grab some bags

How did you calculate it?

Is it kinda voodoo technique?

But I'm pretty sure FED is serious this time.

Aye aye captain!

🤑💰

HOW?

Balance sheet?

Nowadays there are different ways of accounting.

Depending on which one is good for you.

That means basically, I don't trust them.

you mean cheat sheet right?

equity market is ready for it

hang on tight

Ha ha, cheat sheet. 😂

You just don't believe any administration.

As you said, NAQ100 already 7000, it's time now?

Powell insists on increasing the rates 3-4 times this yr.

Tsunami's coming.

I still think not this time

will, who knows

5th wave tho, mighty greed

So you think it's gonna consolidate for a while?

Fine, I'll wait! 💰

"Black Swan"

To be honest, I can't predict future.

sure, no one could

we are just playing the possibilities

over 51% win ratio, that's why casino makes profit

Kinda trick. 🤓

Um...nope, it's mathematics!

Is it 51% attack? ha ha

It's purely mathematics.

So beautiful and reliable.

isn't it?

mathematics can point out the direction

and prove the truth

So that means you believe in math?

Aka atheists.

Believe in proof.

That's logic and science.

Of course, we know very little about the universe.

But we're getting closer.

I trust proof, not believe

believe means BS - Believing System

that's religion

i'm not atheist

just ancap

Did you read Murray Rothbard?

You can find some of his works on Mises.

Worth reading!

Follow the steps:

Sowell's writing is worth reading, too.

You will understand everything is investing.

he's a legend

and Rothbard is the most "rebel jew" ever

i'm not racist

just some false stereotype has accumulated day by day

I know that!

At least you realized it's stereotype.

https://i.imgflip.com/26gdt1.jpg

This is a sign of free thinker.

When you face to a struggle,

most people will try to cheat themselves first.

I think it's the hardest thing in the world,

"Do not cheat yourself."

Yap, it's the toughest thing in lifetime

To be a rational self

thus you could head to the next level

That's why it's hard to trade in the zone.

I prefer to invest.

The pace of trading is too fast.

So weekly chart is my basis.

Practice makes perfect.

Control the risks.

Stay in the market.

Most important of all, Never quit.

You're one step closer than you think.

well said

never stop learning

this is a industry needs latest knowledge

you can take a rest

but never give up

It's about to disclose the interest rate.

A lil bit nervous.

But actually the interest rate is pretty low now.

What kind of level do you guys think it will affect the market?

How about the trend of DXY index?

Stock market overreact.

1.75 is that high? Think about it.

Profit could be higher than that easily.

Show me your determination, FED.

3.5 in one shot, c'mon!

that's what I called jumpy traders

how long do you think inflation can last?

we're in the 5th wave

watch out the break point

some ez points just freaking those retail traders out

Are you sure?

So you think the time is not now.

But that dropping was quite scary.

I have no idea what's going on.

After the taxation, I guess it can last longer.

Because of the surging CPI.

Clever!

In fact, it's not gonna affect China's CPI.

Market is really overreact.

Panic seller all around.

And now we got A.I. (Automation Idiot) trader

The FUD will get worse.

it's gonna affect... a lil bit

but not that kinda disaster gonna bury the market

ai is still immature

and it will be bound by the logic of the coder or trader

i don't think any successful trader will leak their own strategies

now we just get the emotional program

Maybe we'll get the independent thinking AI.

AI + Robot gonna improve our life quality.

If we use it correctly.

Just like Musk said.

If we use it wrong, maybe we're the first race in history...

...are trying to mega suicide.

I guess you guys could understand what do I mean.

If Robot get high grade AI...

...that would be totally insane!

I like that example

no question about it

i was wondering that might be the "natural solution"

no race can survive forever so far

only way to make human race disappear is to screw ourselves

"final solution", no wonder mark zuckerberg loves it

I guess this guy is a demon to you.

The privacy thing is really an issue.

They provide free service (actually not),

and people show up.

Even submit their usage data to a CIA-like company.

These poor fellas just don't know what's up.

He is!

Typical sanctimonious hypocrite.

That freaking data-collectingholic country.

All of that is disgusting.

"Security vs freedom, which one you want?"

What kind of nonsense!

Those two are extremely basic, none of them should be give up.

i agree, no doubt

neither of these should be given up

go check those real hero's efforts

Snowden, Assange, Dotcom...etc

not every hero wears a cape

maybe when the public know the ambition of those corruptive, oscar's actor-like politicians

there will be a break point, but who knows, ppl sucks

You guys are really serious about this issue.

Do you think this would lead to the domino effect?

The public will begin to re-examine those entrepreneur.

Those who fund google, twitter, linkedin...etc.

Now we know Mr.Zuck was no reputation,

but we all knew crowd's memory only last 3 seconds.

Soon, bang, reborn from the ash.

Maybe you're right.

This society sucks.

Can we change it? Yes.

Maybe few years later,

we'll have a brand new monetary system.

That would be the greatest thing in history.

ho ho ho, that's csw's goal

most ppl don't even know it

pure capitalism, pure beauty of economic

in my opinion, the incentive sys will win the long run

ready for the party dudes

Dudes, that's the real "once in a lifetime".

We are in the worst generation, also the best.

If ppl don't support their stupid nationalism,

everything will be great.

That's just a trick of those bigwigs.

If they try to declare a war, just screw them!

Why do they send ppl to the battlefields, but not themselves?

Ppl really have to take these into their consideration.

No question about it.

Why should we go through these over and over.

Why should we sacrifice the most to the few ppl's arrogant ego?

Ridiculous!

They think they're the master, no doubt.

that's mad

we've been taught to obey the majority

it's the greatest lie in history

and social violence

especially that kinda witch nonsense hunting

how did i find out

when you realize 85% of human race is dumb fuck

Come on! 85?!

I think it's slightly over 60.

And it is the reason why democracy don't work really well.

So this is why you've mentioned it before?

That "Final Solution" thing.

It's terrible, dude!

Ha ha, 60?!

I don't think so.

YAP, that final solution thing is nonsense .

But if you try to teach them something,

you'll understand what FM said.

They think they're smart enough and already know everything

Judge something before they fully understand.

you know me

it's a joke c'mon

maybe they dare not dreaming

thus frame themselves

but i have to say

life is cruel and mean

but everything happens for some reason

life will not gives you something directly,

it will train your ability

That's eloquent!

Some of them might be thinking in that way.

You know, most people must face to living.

So they can't afford to lose.

95% will not take the risks.

Especially you've got family to feed.

"The biggest risk is not to take the risk."

If you wanna find some excuses, a lot.

But remember, life is a journey of choices.

Risk always follows choice.

You will never know what's come up with.

One side is choice, the rest is risk.

Run away from it? Hell nah!

nobody's runaway

if you could, that's temporary

from the moment we've been given a life

we've already taken the risks

so take it! amigo!

Don't lose hopes, right?

Some ppl didn't take the risk because they are afraid.

Afraid to be failed, afraid to lose anything.

It's really tough to jump over your own demons.

Especially you are the one who created it.

Can I ask 1 question? How to play safe?

How do you know that's safe?

You'll never know.

until you've tried.

If you could predict that, it must be magic.

life is simply an adventure

you will never know what the ending looks like

tip: enjoy the journey

even sometimes you feel drained

grab it and solve

done 🙏

and don't forget to love the ppls around you

ppls? Is that misspell?

You must be so tired, bro.

Spring is a good season, also makes you feel a lil anxiety .

You've realized it's a new year,

but still stuck in the old plan.

That sucks!

Spring should be the season with hope.

Make a list and hang on a wall.

Check it everyday.

When achieve something, just dash it.

That's the best feeling in the world --

-- fulfillment.

dash something makes you feel great

but the magic is you'd finished something

power of affirmation

it's gonna be an addict

Embrace your OCD, guys!

I mean, workaholic really got some issues.

Just like you guys behavior.

Maybe I should enjoy my job more.

If you need an advice, I would say you better change you job.

Pick one you like.

Something you have interesting.

And you will never calculate the payback.

That's the logic behind workaholic.

Try deep learning, think like a champion.

but ppl don't always follow their heart

they're trying to live in the wild jungle

this is a cruel place

no mercy

too tired to think

too timid to dream

that's the result

The gap between rich and ghetto is so huge

rich have enough to invest

and poor can't afford to eat

Not to mention education

But I heard the reason why most poor family stay poor,

they got grant actually, but they just buy the stuff that make them feel happy.

So the conclusion is "Lack of Vision".

IMHO, a lot of ppl are lazy ass.

Too lazy to think or too lazy to work.

And they actually know they're screwing themselves.

But they just can't correct it.

What can I say?

Anyway, I am capitalism maximalist.

I prefer "no pain no gain".

i guess you gonna love the world of single currency

just saying

and how?

simple question but actually profound

that's the world i want anyway

i want a better place

not this, a "lazy rich dumbass also could survive" world

I feel the social scale can barely flow.

That's why youth generation blame the baby boomers.

They let gov out of control.

Basically, these organizations is the tool of those business tycoon.

And their elitism worship club, members are always the 0.0001%.

I have to say, the society got cancer.

This is the right time to restructure.

You got it.

That's why millennial so angry.

But every generation have their own problem to solve.

Back when they are youth, they are poor, lack of resources.

Everything you've enjoyed is their effort.

So let's just face to the problem that we've got.

Don't try to blame anyone.

you smart ass

ppl always judge everything from their own perspective

that's why ppl always miss the point

and just whining

instead of trying to solve the problem

so only 1% will achieve what they want

behavior distinguish winner from loser

How you guys understand all of these?

Mentor? Or womentor. (as Canadian prime minister said )
😂

Don't you feel they're trying to change the social structure slowly?

We are head to Matrilineal Society.

I remember that Jewish is also Matrilineal Society.

Is it coincidence?

👀 Who knows?

Self taught. 🙌

I don't think so. (coincidence)

But I wonder why are they trying to.

I still don't figure out the reason.

It's time to brainstorm.

Anyway, I like to challenge my old thoughts.

That will keep you thinking.

you could observe what's going on in Israel

elitism

and has it own final solution

--- huge gap between rich and poor

social system just like a hybrid socialism

arrange every citizen go to military training

does it remind you of something

Actually, no. 👀

That means something?

Feudalism?

I mean, look at those walls stand on the border.

It reminds me of what text book told us.

Bad old times.

And the poor will never have a chance.

I'm not familiar with Israel.

It seems like a totalitarian regime.

Arrange people?! what the hell?

The scale has been reversed.

People just get used to it.

Boiled-frog, that's pathetic.

Stand up and crush the feudal system.

glad you know the difference

yes it's an example of how regime beyond ppl

and the sheep can't defeat it

so that's why some silly dude support communism

they blame everything right now

framing capitalism

but they didn't notice that all of these are socialism

It's too hard to notice.

Because of the education system?

I finally understand why ppl got flag worship.

If ppl are smart enough, they will know the existence of border is a joke.

The only way out is "United".

United we stand, divided we fall.

Those greedy powerful jerks are the real enemy of us.

Glad you know that.

When education system transform into cult,

there must be something wrong.

Government and tycoons want good workers,

but not wise enough to question everything.

That is why the system to be designed in this way.

Roses are red, violets are blue.
Taxation is robbery, and screw you too.

nice poem

it's masterpiece

but there always exists loop hole

look at the mirror in front of you

yes you are "awaker"

thanks to the internet

you are not alone

Well said! 🙏

There's a lot of information on internet.

Also a lot of nonsense.

It depends on how you distinguish it.

And there's no perfect answer.

This is life. 🙌

Embrace it!

It looks like you embrace the probability.

It's a good news.

Most ppl can't understand that.

Even if they'd been told.

Everything comes with a risk.

You think it's play safe, actually not.

play safe is dangerous actually

those who don't understand is the perfect product of gov

screw normal be bigger

dream bigger do bigger

that's the answer of how you run away of rat race

think out of the frame

when it gives you options a. b. c., give it 1

Rebel is just write in your gene.

Is that what you're born with?

Or change slowly?

Just curious...

You should write an autobiography.

It could be a new ideal model of every new liberal.

Upvote if you agree! 🕶

That's a great idea!

But I bet FM doesn't wanna do that.

FM said : Life is too short to waste your time on somebody else,

remember, the only thing limited in your life is TIME.

So take care of it,

don't let ppl steal it from you."

This is my spoiler. 😂

what should i say now

invest in yourself

save your energy for the meaningful things

if you can change your mind like these

there would be nothing could interrupt you

but first you gotta set up the goal"s"

of course you can have 800 pounds gorilla appetite

I have a new idea recently.

I think every person should organize their own relationships.

Especially so-called "friends".

Clean the bad relationships.

There are a lot of dudes trying to drag you down.

And drain your energy.

Avoid that kind of relationship could make you a better life.

Frankly, that's my annual routine.

Just keep it simple.

We are living in a fast world.

The pace is so fast that you can hardly chase it.

Thus what we gonna do now is to reduce unnecessary things.

To rethink who you are,

and what you really need.

i always said

to be a trader just like a journey

digging yourself until you truly understand yourself

but it might be too difficult

99% give up in the halfway

so "knowing what you really need" most ppl will not get it

thus they can't keep it simple

That's true.

Most ppl don't even know what they are doing.

Purchase goods they don't need,

keep themselves in the popular trend.

That's what I called "blind".

Don't you think several billions ppl try to imitate few ppl's lifestyle is ridiculous?

Come on, just like distinguish ppl from blood types and constellation.

Yap, that's insane.

So that's why ppl think I'm weird.

But actually, they are the real weird one.

Phew, today's a rough day.

it's a rough day not a rough life

easy easy

everything will be fine

sometime bad things, sometimes bad guys, sometimes mix of those

solve those things, don't give a damn about those guys, done

of course it's hard to avoid bad mood

deal with it and let it go, phew gone

What you have been through?

Tough life.

You gotta be bigger than your problem.

So that's how you could deal with it.

Always.

There are endless challenges in a lifetime

Never quit.

Sometimes that makes you feel tired,

but the result will makes feel satisfied.

That's the bonus of every challenge.

You gotta try it.

sometimes you gotta chill

if you keep the tension going on

you will explode yourself into dust

relax bro

That's a great opinion.

We are not robot.

But recently I always think about AI and robot.

Does that gonna replace us?

Did those crazy scientists create the most powerful race in history?

This is playing fire.

Sci-Fi movie becomes the real.

Maybe I should chill a lil bit.

But workaholic is hard to quit.

Is this the end of human race?

But I thought only human could terminate human.

Human just like virus to the mother nature.

If we create a more advanced species,

That's game over.

you need a chill vacation

indeed trading is boring

so i don't know why you push yourself so hard

plan to do anything?

we've created an advanced species to rule us

did you see matrix

soon

I'm not the only one.

That's scary, right?

The world will become chaos.

Especially to human race.

I'm not the only one.

Especially to human race.

Anyway, I don't have the ability to predict future.

We'll understand when it's coming.

Not such a thing under my control.

We need to calm down.

If that thing could help us do something we don't like,

such as laundry, doing the dishes...etc.

What a wonderful world!

ff things could going this way...

things always work out the way we don't want them to

that's Murphy's Law

that stuff doom to be terminator

that's my humble opinion

i love mechanical structure

but it should be use in a good way

Yap, everything has different sides.

That's true.

Of course we want it to be using in good direction.

But there's a few don't want the world to be a better place.

Oh, maybe that's a better place to them - chaos.

Just like Karl Marx.

He has super power, as you can see in Deadpool 2.

Did you mean mass starvation?

Yap, that's a badass super power.

That silly mofo.

Anyone who has NORMAL standard IQ would hate socialism.

That's a great weapon for those dictatorship tho.

I know there are a bunch of ppl blame the greed of Capitalism.

I think the reason behind that is they are totally loser.

you really hate socialism

they might not be loser but don't really know economics

maybe its the propaganda of brain wash

ask bernie change my mind

but bernie has 2 luxury real estate

what kind of socialism is that

obviously just another king-wannabe

Is that Sanders?

I vote Ron Paul.

The others are politician pop star.

They act like movie star.

Compete for Oscar.

This system should be reformed.

It's too vertical.

You're right, but how?

And the impact would be epic.

If someone ask you how about the roads?

Tell them you could build by yourself, if you need it.

Or hire somebody to do it!

Just like the stupid government attempt to do now.

As you can see, the quality sucks.

i'm worry about the public's moral standard

this is not the worst
https://uptownalmanac.com/sites/default/files/styles/full-post-width/public/images-on-cdn/more-dolores-trash.jpg

maybe sci-fi is right

i start to imagine the scene becomes reality

That's a mess.

But I think most of ppl were good.

We usually just focus on the bad parts.

That's my opinion.

That's true.

We could easily anchor to bad parts,

and ignore the good.

That's what I called blind spot.

thats sweeping

ppl are awesome and bad at the same time

depends on which side you stand

thats also subjective

Wow, that's an inspiration.

We usually observe from personal view point.

Ignore the others easily.

Is it kinda lack of sympathy?

It's ignorance.

Someone could get over it, and someone couldn't.

The difference of intelligence.

So I always said, that's the real gap between ppl.

80% ppl don't have that such a thing

and that's true

believe it or nah

that's why democracy failed

Did you mean intelligence?

lol 😂

You said 80% ppl are stupid.

So 80% of votes are worthless.

They don't have judgment.

Definitely working machine.

The faithful slaves of gov.

Lack of independent thinking.

Lack of vision.

treat gov loyal

all starting from school

flag worship nation worship and civil responsibilities

countless brainwash mantra

these are the result

Just like cult, right?

That's my thought when I was in school.
