Abiyanto’s Small World

Wheeww…. Last night was a nightmare for USD/JPY trading. Especially for those who uses martingale strategy like me.

USD/JPY got bearish on all Monday morning. It’s a normal behaviour on Asia session. Continued its rally on Friday. Untill then it bounce starting from 94.40 on London session and turned into strong bullish with no considerable retrace, not even single one. It became disaster when a few of clients’ account had to cut loss for the amount between $60 to $600 depends on their balance.

It was a trully shocking disaster. But that is FOREX. Anything can be happened and you have to prepare to receive it. The important thing is that you have to encourage your self to cut loss rather than see your account blow up. There are many other days to make profit when you still see enough balance on your trading account.

I tell you the truth,  it’s a painful Monday.

The MetaQuotes workshop entitled “MetaTrader 5 - Next Generation Trading Platform” took place on 1-3 April in Kazan, Russia during which the developers have given a in-depth look at the next gen trading platform. The participants from all around the world have met the developer team of MetaTrader 5 and discussed functionalities and ideas about the next generation of the popular trading platform.

The participants have learned about the latest new features added to MetaTrader 5 like trading stocks, options, futures in addition to Forex using one single platform and how it can be utilized for their businesses.

Quoting from another trader/programmer who said: “MetaTrader has gained a huge following in the past five to six years, particularly with the release of MT4. MetaTrader 5 will likely prove to be a true next generation platform, with structural changes that will make it an altogether different and more powerful animal. I look forward to its release.”

Here are some of the futures of the upcoming Metatrader 5 platform:

• Working with MQL5 will be easier than MQL4 (for a number of reasons, including reading/writing programs);
• There will be more data types, structures, classes;
• Faster execution speed;
• Like MT4, the development environment will be released before the trading terminal;
• Easier to transfer C++ source codes into MQL5.

MetaQuotes will probably release MetaTrader 5 by Fall 2009.

I have register new Paypal account under my new business name. Unfortunately — or fortunately ? - the customer payment arrived earlier before I made verification on my new Paypal account. The sum amount is considered big.

But this morning, I found a notification from Paypal saying that my account has Limited Account Access due to some suspicious activiteis. LOL !

May be they thought I run a HYIP business or something which collects investment from customers. Hehehehe…. Since the account name consists of “investments” word. Now they are asking for some documents to proof my sales i.e. invoices, data bank, credit card data, etc.

Hmm… I hope things will be clear soon enought. Otherwise, I will ask my cutsomers to request refund and send the payment to me via wire tansfer.

It’s been a few years now since we bought our last digital camera. Our NIKON digital camera feels so old when it’s only able to save less than 40 high-resolution pictures. LOL.

Until this evening Nok and I see this Fuji Finepix J10 in a computer bazaar in Java Mall. We thought we may need it on the next traveling plan we have for next month.

The Fuji Finepix J10 is a very simple, 8 megapixel digital camera. It has a standard 3x optical zoom lens and will slide easily into a pocket. This is the cheapest pocket sized camera on the market that I’m aware of. Therefore if a handy size is a big attraction and you do not want to spend too much then the Finepix J10 is a serious option. Fuji have also created a digital camera that is very easy to use.

It has 8.2 Megapixels, 3X Optical Zoom, 5.1X Digital Zoom, 8MB Internal Memory, xD/SD Card Slot, Video Recording, 2.5″ TFT LCD Display.

What made us interested is that it’s able to shoot a video movie for approximately 53 minutes long in a 2-GB Flash memory. Not to mentions thousands of pictures could be taken in the same size of memory. So it’s more enough than our needs.

They offered it on $180 price with 2-GB Flash Memory Card free. But then they gave us $185 with 4-GB Flash Memory Card free. An offer that can’t be resisted at that time !

Until then I found it in internet it’s only offered for $155. It means we bought the additional 4-GB Flash Memory Card for $30.

LOL !

Usually I never put attention when I open Liberty Reserve website. Until today my eys catch words of “Merchant Of The Week”  on LR frontpage. I took notice of these words since all of the merchants are Forex Broker companies. These companes are:

• Marketiva
• Finexo
• Insta Forex
• FXopen
• Liteforex.org

There are 2 possibility reasons why LR chose them as their Merchant of the week:

1. These companies paid LR advertisement fee to put them on LR frontpage. And if they do, it means these companies are financially strong enough to pay such a cost.
2. Their transactions of these week are far beyond other merchants, to make them on the top list of this week.

I prefer to take the second assumption.And if this true, then these companies booked thousands of dollar transactions this week. It means BIG bucks are coming to these companies and there are the place where we should find our money in forex.

Don’t you think so ??
