Optimism Fails in Forex

A friend lost more than $5000 in Forex trading today. I’m happy, and sad.

“Euro touches lowest against the dollar since May”

I entered into Forex trading in September 09. I was tempted by the profits a friend of mine was drawing. I thought I could make some easy bucks trading part-time while giving my full effort to the development of Mosambe. It was rough from the beginning; I thought it was because I was new into the trading world. However, I soon realized it was eating up more time than expected. I was spending more time staring at the red-green candles sticks, Market news and staying worried for my open positions. It was quickly clear that it wasn’t something I want to do. But before I could pull out, my account was closed as I lost my equity of $2000 ($2000 is some good money in India. It’s something around 100k Rs). Anyhow that helped me reach a decision to completely quit trading.

On the other hand my friend was still optimistic and showed courage even after sustaining huge losses. He kept trading, increasing the Stop levels by adding more funds and finally ended up losing everything.

I’m happy for quitting sooner then later and feel sorry for him for losing some hard earned cash.

“Ibn Battuta” in the lyrics of the Hindia song from the movie Ishqiya is more then a rhyming word.

When the song was first played on TV, my dad said that Ibn Battuta was a famous Islamic scholar. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibn_Battuta

I’m not sure if there is some thing in the movie which refers to the 13th century Islamic scholar/traveler, but the song aint bad at all.

The problem is, in hardware you can’t build a computer that’s twice as good as anyone else’s anymore. Too many people know how to do it. You’re lucky if you can do one that’s one and a third times better or one and a half times better. And then it’s only six months before everybody else catches up. But you can do it in software. As a matter of fact, I think that the leap that we’ve made is at least five years ahead of anybody.
