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!!!

Effects on Banning Short Selling

If the SEC temporarily bans short selling, it will actually INCREASE the cost to banks of raising new capital, and the market's floor might be removed. - "The Securities and Exchange Commission took its most aggressive assault against bearish stock bets by stating its intention to issue a temporary ban on short-selling," writes the WSJ. "SEC Chairman Christopher Cox briefed Congress late Thursday of the agency's intention to take the extraordinary step of interfering with the market's regular functioning." - This move will affect hedge funds that use short positions to hedge investment risk during a rights issue or placing. If they're not able to provide liquidity during a rights issue, the costs to banks of raising new capital will increase.  - Shorts provide a floor, buying (i.e. covering shorts) when there is no one left to buy. If you can't short, the only way to reduce your risk is to sell, which may exaggerate downside pressure in the event...
