Trading Losses and Adjustment to Methodology

 Dear mates,

The day has been challenging day for me where I have realised a few mistakes that I could have been on today's losses. Yes, I have to admit that both trades today were made with negligence and with little vigilance. I will thus avoid making this same mistake by not trading between SGT 0800hrs (0000hrs GMT) and SGT 1630hrs (0830 GMT) daily, as I admit that I am not very focused within that time of the day.

Trading time horizon may be in a matter of minutes. Trades are made in a manner that will consistently look forward to an exit on the short term, although it has a primary target that will be looking forward to stay on a trend for the long term. This method may not be a conventional strategy that you may agree with, but it is something that has worked for me for a period of time. 

I shall leave no stone unturned from my next trade, in addition, I would want to remind everyone who is reading this that there is no strategy that is fool-proof and free from losses, therefore, if you are viewing my calls on a consistent basis, please reminded that losses made like what happened over the past few days may re-occur on a consistent basis, therefore I hope you can only view this with a pinch of salt, and measure the result against the actual market.

My 50,000 long AUD/USD at 0.7903 is stopped out at 0.7803 with 100pips of losses. GBP/JPY remains opened from 189.49.

Now let's rock the markets today!!!

Financial Crisis Management

Back in the 80s, when the US government had to deal with a crisis where the Resolution Trust Corporation, which is a holding company formed and housed within the Treasury, to deal with distressed real estate that was funded by loans and savings, the strategy was deemed a sucess where it was later reused by the HK and Indonesian government during the asian financial crisis. This indeed managed to give immediate liquidity and confidence to the markets during such turbulent times. In addition, this came as a win-win situation for the governments, because as these distressed assets were bought in a 'fire-sale' price, which was significantly cheaper than its face value, the governments made profits from such transactions, where in today's case, the similar situation applies. The target of this plan for the purpose of restoring order in the banking system, so banks will remain confident to lend, as well as to free up funds for further lending and use when the economy grows.  Afte...

Can Banks Be Trusted?

Today's events have indeed been a thrilling experience experience for the international markets. As I am writing this, the China Central Banks has just cut its key interest rate again by 27 basis points to spur growth, Lehman (est. 1844) has filed for Chapter 11 (Bankruptcy) , there are rounds of ECB having an emergency rate cut, UBS sneaking in to declare another $5B of writedowns, AIG seeking help from the Fed with a request of a $40B bridge loan after rejecting an offer by Flower to prevent themselves from joining the slaughterhouse where their CDs are currently gapping outwards, and it seems that the only few pieces of good news are probably that Merril had a merger with BOA, as well as a consortium of global banks have put together a $70B fund to facilitate liduidity and an orderly resolution between Lehman and their counterparties. ECB also joined in with $30B to curb liquidity woes as well.  In my opinion, it seems like an obvious trend that all Fed Governors are challenged ...
