Risk ON / Risk OFF

my Trading performance isnÂ’t that good currently, lotÂ’s of time there are some hickups
like
- targets not reached (support/resisstance seem to have its own life
- liquidity is not constantly at the same level causing erratic movements.
- War tensions and other nonsense
- upcoming Rate Hikes Worldwide.
well, the Rate Hikes do have an advantage as this will cause some movement of money on a global scale, and guess what, thatÂ’s a good thing as markets will become a lot more liquid.
but in the aftermath of Covid-19 and a War may be around the corner, things are uncertain and we start to see massive movements even intraday.
This adds another level of complexity, so itÂ’s time to adjust, take smaller pieces instead of waiting for the big moves!
since we do trade mostly Forex, a zero-sum market in general, ranges should be all we trade anyway.
here is a screenshot of the current 30-day stats, (back in November this was at 14%! .. letÂ’s see if we do get back up in this territory.
Trading in VR

i will write something more detailed about this topic ..
here is my first try at Trading using VR
Blood Pressure -> Trading kills :)
402839 June 22, 2022 12:55 SwingFish Traders Library Philosophy 0x8 Trading
well, after “mining data” for about 2 months, I found some interesting patterns that do relate and may provide a solution.
it’s clear at this point that the main factor for the blood pressure is STRESS, which brings a problem in itself, as in a country where everyone is pretty much asleep 24/7 this isn’t really “a thing” so a doctor will guess on things like this last, just because of how things are. additionally, it’s not “just stress” it seems to be some specific type (more on that later)
first, what I have found out so far
(in the order I was told by the doctor and generally people around me)
Smoking
tiny or small impact.
I tested this by not smoking for serval hours after going out of bed, which should have lowered the overall nicotine levels already)
there was a tiny average impact (+/- 4 mmHg) however there may be other factors in play since this change was much smaller than the average fluctuation in measurements.
Exercise
Interesting outcome (definitely some meaningful impact)
there seems to be somewhat of a short-term impact, I noticed every time playing VR, even with the pulse much higher of the resulting exercise,
the blood pressure itself was always lower than when started, additionally, last weekend went out with some friends to fly some drones, I did bring the device with me and measured even in somewhat stressful situations,
the pressure seemed down as well (not down as in normal but in the 130 range)
Sleep
overall well-being sure resulting in less stress and has a lower pressure as an effect.
My average sleep time is around 6.5 hours, and with the data gathered, this is NOT ENOUGH!
every time i did sleep between 8 – 8.5 Hours, the general feeling during the day is much better.
however, there may be some conflict in the data, as i do generally feel tired resulting of the general stress almost all the time, this needs some more investigation.
Stress
MAJOR IMPACT!!
in my own conclusion, Stress is the key factor, however, there is no real Baseline, it seems this is far more affecting on a psychological rather a physical level.
Trading Related.
while writing this, my blood pressure raised to 162/110 while i have a Forex position that is well in profit but still holds a 0.05% exposure to the capital.
nothing really to be worried about, yet the numbers show a different picture.
Below is a chart outlining my trading positions in relation to the blood pressure and the weekends, it show’s very clear that the actual Financial exposure, has little to do with how the stress is applied,
the correlation rather seems to be on the conviction itself and less about the financial outcome. this needs some more exploration!
precision om measurements
some (actually a lot) articles, Doctors’ advice, and general consensus about this topic suggest a “check” every few weeks/months or even yearly.
however, my pressure does fluctuate massively, this does beg the question:
- are the measurements actually accurate?
- is the general consensus nonsense?
- or is that just because in my case the pressure is generally high?
Will ask this on Reddit, let’s see what other people’s opinion is about this.

ever come across a chart like the one of USDJPY from today? [live stream from this day | Trade Log Here]
and your trades in this were only part of it or none at all?
(below the image shows the trades I have made myself on this move)
were you thinking like:
- WOW 132 Pips (1320 points)
- that would have been so much money i could have made
- such an easy trade, but why didn’t I take it?
- if i just held on longer that would be such a large gain
well bottom line is “YOU DIDN’T!!” and that is not a bad thing!

Trading is NOT “free Money”
254 September 15, 2017 00:36 SwingFish Traders Library Philosophy
Trading the markets is easy/free money? maybe it is easy .. but it is certainly not free!
If you close a winning trade, someone else have to pay for it.
“someone” is NOT your Broker!
just like with everything else in this world, there is no difference in Trading.
if you work a 9-5, your employer pays you, the money will come out of his account and go into your account.
in other words, your employer will have a “loss” and you will have a “win”.
but instead of a “loss”, for your employer, this is just the “cost of doing business”
in Trading, however, you do not have an employer but a Broker.
the Broker provides you (among other things) the service of finding someone that will lift your offers.
some other trader will have a losing position to close, and the money of the one loss will go to your account.
if you pay for someone else’s winning trade, this is just the cost of being in the Trading business.
this can not be avoided by anyone, anywhere, EVER!
- at some stage you will have to pay someone else’s win,
your mission is to make sure it’s not too expensive. - if there is nobody buying at the price where you selling,
your Order will be filled/executed at a later price that is called “slippage”
(as stated before, the Broker will not lift your offer and pay your winnings, the market will)
Broker Related example
Let’s imagine you “trade” Fruits on the local Market, but you are not a Farmer, meaning you buy the Fruits from a Farmer in order to re-sell it. that will make you a Broker and in the case of the local market, you will be a Market maker too since there is no Zentralized exchange that tells us the current price of yours Fruits.
your objective is NOT to get rich quick by selling your fruits at the highest price as fast as possible.
your objective is to minimize the risk and try to sell ALL your fruits by the end of the day, as they will go bad overnight and you will have to throw them away.
throwing them away is just the same as closing a losing trade.
selling Fruits or trade the markets, at some stage there will be a leftover which you paid for already by purchasing it. and you have to throw them out (realize a loss) just as in the FInancial markets, there is no way to predict how many customers will buy your stuff at the current day.

Philosophy of Success
530 September 8, 2017 13:11 AoFX Traders Library Philosophy
Did you know that Lion does not succeed in hunting except in a quarter of his attempts, that is, he fails in 75% of his attempts and succeeds in only 25% of them?
Despite this small proportion of which most of the predators participate, it is impossible for Lion to despair of attempts to hunt and hunt.
The main reason for this is not hunger, as some might think, but the assimilation of the animals into the law of “wasted efforts”, the law in which all nature works
- Half of Fish eggs are eaten.
- Half of Bears die before puberty
- The rain of the world is falling in the ocean
- most of the seeds of trees are eaten by birds
Only human beings reject this natural law And the success is not to have a life biography free of pitfalls and hiccups … but the success is to walk over your mistakes And go beyond every stage where your efforts wasted and look forward to the next stage .. If there was a word summarizing this world will be simply: (continue)
