It seems the whole world is at war at the moment, including threads on Forex Factory. Thought I would get with the program.
This is my Light Hearted look at the war between traders and the markets, and in no way should anything posted here be taken as trade advice, trade at your own risk, if in doubt, stay out. Disclaimer blah…blah. I have found that a good belly laugh every day keeps the doctor away.
War games Timetable.
Long term engagements will go here…….>Edit,Sat,May 24.2008 GMT 0600.When markets open Mon will leave 1,Infantry in AUSUSD war zone around grid reference 0.9598 Southbound.Edit Thursday May 29. 0200 Holding at 0.9615.
Overnight sorties will go here……….>Edit, Sat,May 24,2008 GMT 0600. When markets open Mon will leave 1 Infantry in Cable WZ GR 1.9820 Southbound. Edit Thursday May 29. Holding at 1.9810.
(2-3 days, maximum 1 week)
Hit and Run attacks will go here……..….>Edit Sunday May 25 When markets open Monday will leave 1 scout in geppy WZ GR 204.54 Northbound.Edit Thursday May 28 0200 hrs Holding at 207.67 (+ 313)Edit Thursday 14.45 Pulled out Scout at 208.15 . Captured 361
(One and four Hr TF)
I have some of the best trained and equipped troops available today; when I send them into the War Zone they all carry the following:
1) GPS system.
2) A compass with North and South clearly marked (in case (1) gets damaged).
3) A sleeping bag.
4) Mobile phone.
5) Spare batteries.
6) Money belt.
7) A Japanese dictionary.
8) One Cyanide tablet, to be used only in emergency, if captured by a Borker.
To make this more realistic I have raided my war chest and found right down on the bottom an old practice account with the grand sum of $397.00. It started life as a $500.00 account, but hey, that’s what small practice accounts are for.
Each Scout looks for 20c per pip. Infantry look for 50c, Tanks go after $5.00, Stealth Bombers go for $10.00 and Nuclear Bombs go for $50.00 per pip. (Per click)
The nukes are on order; I don’t think I will be taking delivery for some while.
To save everybody their time, I will keep this first post up to date as much as time permits, so there is no need to read any of the rest of the crap that follows, it will just be the ramblings of an old man, and a few other people with nothing better to do.
This will be of great benefit to the noobs, as we all know read the last post first, then the first post last, and then fire away with questions that have been asked and answered a 100 times. If you wish to contribute please try and keep it on the amusing side.
The Game can only end in two ways; the most likely outcome is an account value of $0.00. (Let’s be realistic). The other is the account reaches $150,000.00 Less 50K for tax and I have enough to pay for my Daughters University Degree. She’s 15 now, so I have 3 years.
Reports will be updated on the week-ends, on a % gain or loss. The dead will be counted along with the captured. So there we have it, my $397.17 verses two trillion $$ per day. I think the odds are on my side, they have more to lose than I.
I will go now and give them final instructions before their first mission. I reserve the right to send in my Special Tactical Secret agents, without posting their location. All times used will be GMT and Grid Locations of the troops will be: Sample.
1630hrs dropped in 1 scout, 2 Infantry Cable War Zone (WZ) Southbound Grid Location 1.9905
EDIT::Sunday May 11,2008. Update Weeks 1&2. Killed in Action 14, Captured 392. Troops available 775.+ 95%
