UNDERSTANDING THE MARKET'S PSYCHOLOGY...


It's been 3 months without a single article updated in this blog. I had been very busy and occupied with my day job (as well as golfing) that I had even forget that I have a blog to update.

From an oil refinery, project, operation and maintenance nature to a new environment where technical skills are pre-dominantly vital, I believed I need more time to settle in and to re-awake my technical strength in engineering in order to survive with this new assignment.

For now, I am working in KL and no longer in Melaka for good. From Oil Business to Corporate and I'd probably be joining one of the nation's mega project soon in Johor.

Anyway, still the same as before, my key interest is still here with forex trading, a game of probability where 90% of traders lose money. In fact I am still analysing the market on daily basis and open positions accordingly with my demo account. I am still passionate and enjoy the thrill of forecasting the market, though I could and would be wrong on certain cases.

With my live account perhaps only one or two trades per week as I am not really watching the market as closely as before due to time and location constraint.

Perhaps the best tip that I could share with my colleagues adn followers out there who may be asking where were me for the past 3 months is... focus on your timing and risk management regardless of what technical indicators that you may be using.

The deeper you explore this market, the simpler it becomes. Trust me you will know it once you are there. It's just a matter of whether you survive... or give up. You choose.

The best thing is you don't really have to guess where the market is going in this money-makingandlosing-game. You just have to understand on how to read the market properly accordingly to the trend, signs and patterns that were left behind. What the crowd is doing & could be doing has always been my first question whenever I open up my trading charts. The reason I put could is because no one knows exactly... so anyone could be wrong inclusive me.

Though the question may sound fundamental, it is indeed technical as it will be followed by technical analysis on the statistic probabilities.

Keep in mind that guessing blindly is just like gambling. So be wise with your trading decision... and be yet wiser. Don't chase the market... instead let it come to you.

One thing that dissapoint me is that most new traders who were seeking my advice are hardly listening to the advice given until they crashed their account. Perhaps this is normal huh... but what can I say. This could be the nature that brokers want to maintain in order to attract more losers into the market. So be it...

Anyway in short, all I want to say is I am still here and will keep on updating this blog whenever I have the time and ideas on what to write. As mentioned earlier in my first year as a blogger, I am not really looking into becoming a celebrity in this blogging world, instead it is a journal of my own where sharing is the key word apart from keeping them as my own personal referrence.

For those aspiring forex traders out there who just started and wish to make millions from this arena - please take my advice - stick with your dreams but make sure you learn the fundamentals.

If you have 10k for examples to start your trading, spend at least 30% of it on your trading education. It's worth it since even if you lose the rest 70%, chances are you will improve from your 30% investment in education for your next deposit.

Otherwise, you are no better than a pure gambler. You'd never learn and always remain on the bottom 90% who loose 100% of the time. Brokers would love it though...

Have A Nice Day... ;)

APA GUNANYA ENGKAU HIDUP JIKA...

1. Sekadar untuk membuat kerosakan di muka bumi

2. Tiada niat untuk berbakti kepada kedua orang tuamu

3. Sekadar untuk bermegah dengan harta duniamu yang tak seberapa & sementara

4. Kamu tidak berbakti kepada bangsa dan negara

5. Tiada cita cita untuk berjaya dan menjadi insan berguna

6. Sekadar untuk leka dan bersuka ria...

7. Engkau pemalas...

8. Asyik menyusahkan orang lain...

9. Engkau ni tak berguna satu sen pun... sampah masyarakat...

10. Engkau tak mahu hidup lagi...

Tapi janganlah sampai membunuh diri, tiada tempat untuk kamu di sana nanti...

Kalau tanya aku, memang selagi nyawa dikandung badan, selagi itu aku tidak akan berputus asa untuk mengejar cita cita aku. Biar keluar air mata darah sekalipun namun aku tidak akan berputus asa, lebih lebih lagi selagi kedua orang tua ku masih ada untuk aku berbakti kepada mereka.

Pada aku, usaha itu sendiri merupakan suatu kepuasan sebab kejayaan itu bukanlah suatu destinasi, tetapi lebih kepada suatu perjalanan yang tiada penghujung, selagi hayat dikandung badan...

Sekadar renungan bersama...

KERANA PULUT SANTAN BINASA...

Aku baru je deactivate akaun facebook aku selepas genap seminggu aku guna...

Sebab-sebab:

1. Aku kekurangan masa.

2. Aku tengok dalam facebook 'nawaitu' nyer bagus untuk mengeratkan silaturrahim tapi ada member-member yang takde akal tu meninggalkan komen yang pada dia lawak tetapi berunsur fitnah, menjatuhkan air muka dan menyakitkan hati... especially bab-bab makanan ni sgt sensitif. Aku memang takkan maafkan kenyataan dia tu... terus terang memang terbakar darah aku baca apa yg dia tulis tu (yg pada dia lawakla kononnya)... takpe, nanti kau...

3. Yang paling penting, aku rasa memang dari dulu malas nak layan facebook, friendster dan yg sewaktu dgnnya ni sebab ader byk lagi benda lain yang aku boleh buat dengan internet.

Oklah, dipendekkan cerita... kepada kawan baik aku yang dekat facebook tu, kalau kalau la kau jumpa aku nyer blog ni, tulisan ni mmg khas ditujukan pd engkau... engkau tau engkau siapa so tak payahla aku bgtau nama...

A. Jgn anggap semua benda tu lawak... nanti kena btg hidung sendiri tak boleh tahan...
B. Jgn dedahkan keaiban org walau pun betul sekalipun... ini kan pula yg berunsur fitnah.
C. Seorang sahabat yang baik akan sentiasa menegur kelemahan kawannya tanpa berselindung.
D. Sebelum tulis apa2... fikir dahulu... apa salahnya tulis benda yg elok2... apa untung ko dapat dgn menyakitkan hati org lain, buat kena sumpah je adala... ingat lah awak tu dah ader anak... bagilah contoh yg baik... kalau bujang lain cerita...

Cukupla tu... tapi memandangkan ini blog aku... alang alang menulis tu aku nak tulis la jugak satu dua benda untuk peringatan ko, sekadar suka suka...

- ingat tak dulu ko nak gi dating dengan p***h pun pinjam kereta orang... ko sendiri pun takde kereta... ko tak malu ke?
- ingat tak dulu ko nak ayat dia pun tanya org... ayat sendiri pun tak tau... buta kayu ke?
- ko ingat budak rumah tu suka sgt dengan lawak spastik ko tu? engko tu syok sendiri ko tau tak...
- ingat tak dulu tiba tiba sabun terpelanting ke shower aku tak tau datang dari mana... rupanya dari toilet sebelah... berbuih buih tu... ko buat apa dgn sabun tu?

Hmmm... Cukupla tu... nak tergelak pulak aku tulis benda-benda ni... yg aku nampak ko ni berkawan tak ikhlas la... hati ader hanyir sikit... tapi takpela sebab aku pun bukan ader nak jumpa ko hari hari so 'just forget about it'... aku tulis ni pun sekadar nak melepaskan apa yg terbuku so aku tak payah simpan benda ni lama-lama....

Apa dah...

hai tak tau la apasal... malam ni aku hangin semacam... forex untung tapi kepala memang angin... mungkin sebab projek revamp aku yg tak siap2 ni... bos aku janji dapat "kembara" minggu lepas... rupanya dapat basikal brand "kembara"... cis...

;)))

TERSENTAK, SEDIH... DAN INSAF...

26 Julai 2009.. Ahad jam 9 pagi. Seorang rakan kerja yang amat aku senangi, Mohd Effendi Tajuddin, 44, telah kembali ke rahmatullah akibat dari kemalangan motosikal berkuasa tinggi di KM 139, berdekatan Tol Chenor, Pahang.

Beliau menghembuskan nafas yang terakhir di tempat kejadian.

Innalillah...

Aku sangat tidak menyangka dengan pemergian Arwah pada usia yang masih muda meninggalkan seorang balu dan 3 orang anak.

Aku terima berita ketika keluar membeli barang dapur di Jaya Jusco Ayer Keroh dan seketika aku mendapat SMS tentang musibah yang menimpa beliau, aku tidak berupaya menahan sebak dan tanpa ku sedari air mata berlinangan dengan sendirinya.

Kami tidaklah terlalu rapat tetapi kami pernah terbang & bersiar bersama di luar negeri ketika menghadiri sesi HAZOP di Reading pada bulan Februari 2007 untuk Projek yang masih dalam pembinaan ini. Tidak dinafikan, beliau merupakan seorang insan yang sangat peramah disamping kelengkapan kamera beliau yang sangat canggih. Kalau nak harapkan aku memang sekadar menggunakan kamera digital Olympus yang leper 2.0 megapixel sahaja ketika itu.

Aku tidak mampu untuk berkata apa, cuma sekadar hendak meluahkan rasa sedih dan simpati terhadap ahli keluarga beliau yang sememangnya berat mata memandang, berat lagi bahu memikul. Sabarlah dengan ujian ini jika ada diantara kamu yang membaca...

Fendi, walau pun kita tidak serapat mana, tetapi pemergianmu sangat sangat dirasai. Engkau adalah antara sebaik-baik insan yang pernah aku kenali...

Kami meratapi pemergianmu, tetapi kami redha. Kami insaf dan sedar tentang kejadian yang menimpa kamu adalah suatu peringatan kepada kami tentang betapa mudahnya jika Allah SWT hendak datang menjemput kita kembali... tiada daya dan upaya melainkan dengan izin Allah SWT semata-mata...

Ya Allah, aku insaf... dan aku berdoa semoga roh Arwah ditempatkan di kalangan para solehah & syuhada Mu...

Al-Fatihah...

LOSING IS JUST PART OF THE GAME...

I thought of waking up this early morning in order to watch the Champions League Final between MU and Barca. But it was already 5.30am intead of 3.30am set on my alarm clock. Rather than turning ON my Astro, I straight away jump to my pc and check the results from soccernet.com.

Huh... Not something pleasant to my eyes... Barca 2 - 0 Man United. I refresh the page and yes, that is the final result. Congratulation Barca! and I wonder what happened with United... so I read the match report.

All in all, I am not surprised with the result, but surely dissapointed. Barca is a great team too and it was pity I didn't wake up to watch the game. Perhaps because I slept too late last night due to my fx activities.

As for United, it would have been a nearly perfect season for them (since they're out from FA Cup) if they managed to retain the Cup. But what can we say, losing is just part of the game. The result shows that Barcelona is clearly a better team tonight, and that's why they won it.

3 English Teams in the semis and yet the Spaniard is the Champion. Kudos to them! They are meant to be...

Looking at the bright side of the result, I came to think about the beauty of losing. The pain, the regret and the thought of... if only I did this and that, if only I took that chances etc etc.... the day would have been different.

Well, there is no point to regret something that had happened. Eat the bullet, swallow them slowly and live with it. It is history now. There's nothing we can do about it.

The moment of truth was during the match itself. Just like in doing anything that we live for, it is what you did during the battle that counts. After it happened, you either enjoy the success moment or learn from that losing experience, so that you will come up better next time.

Just like in Forex or any game that we play, one more time, losing is just part of the game. Most of the time, it is the losing experience that teach us more than the winning one, provided you learn from it.

Nobody wants to lose but the fact is, somebody got to...

To the Red Devils, there's always next season Guys! Great job by the way....
