Technology makes us closer…and we use it to push ourselves further...

​Yesterday I went to watch The Legend of Tarzan. 

I felt very touched by the movie, not because of the plots, but because of the animals.

As most of you know the story of how Tarzan grew up in the forest and raised up by the Gorillas, and it brought back so much of my childhood memories. 

I grew up in the county side prior to the internet, I remembered back then when i was a child, my best friends were always the dogs, cats, frogs, butterflies or all the weird insects in our neighbourhood. The kindergarten I went was an experiment institution in our community, and they had bears, monkeys and all the creatures inside where kids can play around with them. Not the bears of course. And yes it is illegal.

Of course, when later on the laws became more strict in terms of animal protection, the school was shut down and yet, i spent nearly 2 years in that place. 

Besides that, there was a small forest hill just beside my house, so naturally that was where we always played. 

I rode my bike, played with the dogs, got beaten by the insects, fell down and cried and always came home with dirt and mud. 

But that was such an amazing times in my childhood. 

Then time goes by, we got so much technological inventions, things that were beyond people’s imaginations. 

And now we live with our inventions everyday, and we use them to conduct our daily cavities and businesses. 

Don’t get me wrong, it is all very good and convenient 

However, after watching the movie, I asked myself “when was the last time I went outside and played around to get myself with dirt and mud, just like my childhood?"

It’s a bit depressed to think that, but somehow all these technology makes us more apart from each other, from our animals, and from mother-earth. 

I really can't imagine when i have kids in the future, what is his/her childhood going to be? How different that will be comparing to my childhood?

Anyway, I think from now on, I’ll really shut all my technology down and go out to the nature more often. 


OK, back to trading!

As you might have noticed, I have added 2 features on my website now, one is the Daily Analysis and the other one is Orders/Updates. So pretty much all the trade info will be in these 2 sections.

Today is another quiet session, no tier one data, the current sentiment continues as JPY being heavily shorted. We’re still favour buying commodity currencies against JPY, and we’re still bearish for GBP/USD.

Our AUD/NZD got filled but nothing much happen because they both are the same commodity pair and will not react much in current situation, however, that was also the reason we chose this pair to hedge our risk.

Our USD/JPY order is in profit of 200 pips +, however, the size was very small as originally we’re thinking to scale in only.

What i learned is that if the central bank has announced certain policy changes, even though it’s not happening yet, it’s your best interest to just go with the flow.

However, it also depends on which central bank we’re talking about. But when it comes to Japan, I often feel that they’re more like a kingdom of the old days. What i meant is that even though Japan is a democratic country, but unlike other nations, they really follow the order from above. 

So although each government department should be independently operates such as Bank Of Japan and each parties should supervised each other, but as for now, everything is really controlled by the prime minister Abe. He's got the power!!!

ok, tomorrow BOC will have newest rate decision and as a Canadian myself….well, we don’t really care as Canada seldom makes any interesting news

​haha. 

See you tomorrow.
