The Magical Bell Curve of Standard Distribution

Of course the best advise I ever got was: Two up. One back. A hot meal a day. And a clean pair of socks. But that really doesn't aply here but it works if you have a bunch of guys with guns behind you and more in front of you that don't like you ...

Things I've learned (as a n00b)

LOL No it had the usual four. Let me tell you there are few things as great growing up as a thirteen year old on a farm as snuggling up to a warm cow at five a.m. and sleep milking. (it's not a sexual thing, really, mj )

a few questions from an interested trader

Hey diallist, I used to milk cows as a kid for years with nothing but a one legged stool and it worked just fine. Not that I would try any thing like that with real money in Forex or anything. Great post btw.

forex mentoring programs

I agree, but it is a tough gig. Not much time for sight seeing and it's hands off the cute chickies. Almost everyone is Catholic and doesn't want to listen and if they do thier family jumps in with booth front feet.

Toilet Hugging Trade Promises

Thanx, Narafa. Sometimes the conspirsy talk makes me nuttier than I already am. The brokers are on our side, they want us to trade, they count on it, they make money when we do. That is capatilism at work. The system is in everybodys best intrest. I ...
