Forex Broker- Are you using the Best

By If you are going with a program be aware or beware that most are not designed by traders, and they don't at times have the real understanding of the markets.

Forex Broker are massive business they all make statements that they will make you gains but the fact is they most lose your money. So if you want to find a WINNING BROKER here are 4 tips enclosed.

Let's start with the most obvious question to ask of any Forex Broker

1. What is the Track Record is it Real or a Back Test Simulated?

Most Forex Broker have never made any money and rely on past result simulations on paper and of course this is easy, they are hindsight traders! Others present what they claim are real track records but these track records are not independently verified, so just forget about them and keep looking around.

So only go with truly tested independent audited results. If you do check this it will eliminate over 95% of them.

2. What is the history of the designer or Broker?

This will give you a good insight to the reliability. If you are going with a program be aware or beware that most are not designed by traders, and they don't at times have the real understanding of the markets.

3. Do they disclose all the rules?

If it is a black box system, don't bother, if they are so good would someone really sell it? If you have a great money making guaranteed machine would you sell it online or would you just keep raising the stakes and make all the money yourself. Guess how most black box makers make their money, you guessed it selling it. Not from the Market. IF you are looking for a great Broker feel free to visit the CFD FX REPORTthey have recently researched all the brokers and have found what they believe to be the best. If you are looking for extra educational lessons they have a lot for you to learn from.

4. What support is on offer?

Before getting involved ask what support you are given. It is real time, is it quick and honest. - 16036

Setting Up A Tickler File

By Dojo Kuhn

As part of my ongoing GTD Thirty Day Challenge, I wanted to talk about how you should set up a tickler file.

David Allen seems to be big on using 43 folders for his tickler file. These folders would be made up of 12 monthly folders and 31 daily folders. Let's say it is now January and I'd have all my daily folders behind the January folder. When a day ends, that day's folder goes behind the next month or February's folder. Looking at the 19th, I'd have the folders 1-18 behind the February folder at this point.

What happens when I use my tickler file? If I get a bill that is due on February 3rd, and I want to remember to pay it on that day, I would stick the bill in my February 3rd folder. On February 3rd when I look at my tickler, I'd see the bill and remember to pay it.

I really do not like using 43 folders for my tickler file. For starters, it's hard to remember to check it every day. People then have to remember to check it and they'll start to ask themselves "how do I remember to check my tickler file?" The next reason is it is very bulky and not very portable. Finally, when you move the daily folders behind the next month, you have to remember to move the items in that months folders to the proper day.

If you use GTD though, a tickler file is essential to set up because there are things in the future that you need to remember. The folder type of tickler is perfect if you have a lot of physical type items you use as reminders. For most people, their work doesn't create the kind of physical items that really justify a folder tickler file and I suggest setting up a tickler file differently to address the problems above.

Setting Up A Tickler File

Step one is to create a plastic folder that I carry in my briefcase labelled "Waiting For" and all the things I need to remember on future dates go in there.

Next, I created a folder in my email account called "Yahoo Reminders". You'll see this folder if you look at the image of my email folder structure in How To Set Up Your GTD Email. I then set up a filter for all Yahoo Reminders to go into this specific folder and not in my inbox for processing.

Finally, I use my Yahoo! calendar, to enter any item I need to remember and make it an "all day event" with an email reminder scheduled to be sent to me 2 days prior to when I need to do it. As a back up, I also have it text to me as well.

In the above example, the bill I got needed to be remembered on February 3rd. I enter the all day event on the third like "Pay very important bill" and by default it sends me an email reminder two days before it occurs. The actual physical bill goes into my "Waiting For" folder in my briefcase.

On February 1st, an email is sent ot me that reminds me I have to pay a bill on the third. The email bypasses my inbox and is filtered into my Yahoo reminder folder. As a backup, I get a text message too. Using text and email both gives me a backup in case I can't check my Yahoo reminders folder I then have a reminder sitting on my blackberry too. I review my reminders each day on my Blackberry and if I am at my computer, I review them too.

This setup is especially lightweight and extremely portable. It reminds me of everything so I do not have to remember to check. I also don't have to move stuff around in my tickler file. If you don't use email reminders, you really don't have any idea how valuable they can be. My suggestion is use them, even if you use the 43 folders as your tickler file. They will improve your GTD system 100%

That is my version of how to set up a tickler file for maximum effectiveness. - 16036

Weight Loss and Some Reasons Why Diets Fail

By Ricardo d Argence

One look at the diet industry will tell you that millions of people are trying to lose weight every day and failing. You know they are failing by the sheer number of new products that comes on to the market every day. There are many reasons why diets fail, and here we will look at a few.

It seems that the most popular diets are geared toward eliminating entire food groups. No, fat diets, diets with no carbs and some diets with no food at all! It is little wonder that people cannot lose weight.

Our bodies are complex and require many types of nutrients to function properly. Eiminating a food group is not a healthy way to lose weight and the chances are good that your body will rebel leaving you with no weight loss at all.

Starvation diets are even less favorable as you will deprive yourself of necessary nutrients and find yourself losing little if any weight. That is because your body will go into what is known as starvation mode. Your body slows down its metabolism in order to store fat because it believes there is a food shortage and it wants to protect itself. This is to prevent you from dying under extreme circumstances. Its very risky in terms of your health but little by little your system will be able to overcome it.

To lose weight effectively you will need to maintain a healthy balanced diet. This means that you must partake of all the food groups. The better approach is to limit your portion size, this way you are getting nutrients while cutting caloric intake.

Extolling claims that weight loss can be attained without exercise, many fad diets have become extremely popular. It is imperative that you consume fewer calories than you use while getting regular exercise. Anything that you do to raise your heart rate and increases your oxygen intake will be beneficial. Our bodies were not made to be sedentary they need movement.

Aside from any kitchen sink, there are many useful and effective ways that are considered as the greatest aid of losing weight. Your body is composed of mostly water, about 61.8%. It is undeniable the water is very vital for proper body function. It is only the maintenance amount that the recommended daily allowance of water is eight 8-ounce glasses, but if you do any type of strenuous activity or perspire a lot you will need to take in more fluids.

To create a healthy weight loss program you should bring all the elements above together. Eat properly, exercise regularly and drink plenty of water and you have the best weight loss plan on the planet. - 16036

Buy Board Game

By Cantu Terrell

What's that thing in the "Obscurity Knocks" video? It's called a Rube Goldberg machine and the best thing to compare it to is that setup when you played the board game Mousetrap.We keep enough supplies in stock to fill orders within 24 hours. Since all production is centralized, we can provide expedient turn-around times.

Can I give/trade Risk cards away? While not explicitly outlawed by the rules it is generally considered against the spirit of the rules to donate cards to another player, trade cards with other players or simply throw cards away. (You might want to do this if you have five cards but only a set of three cannons and are using the rules where a set's value depends on the type of cards in the set, see Q2.5).MegaMek comes in a zip file. You will need to unzip it using an appropriate unzipping utility. For example, you could use 7-Zip or WinZip on windows. For instructions on running MegaMek, see the readme.txt file, included in the main directory.The starters' bonus rating is the easy one! If a starter allows at least four earned runs, he normally becomes fatigued and switches to B grades with the next base runner allowed. But if he has a bonus inning (a raised number following his regular S rating) then he gets to stay on his A grades through the end of his bonus inning. Example: Joe Fastball is rated S64..

What is the objective? In all versions of the game, one way to win is to be the last surviving player. In a two-player game there could be neutral armies left at the end, but usually it means taking all 42 territories on the map. In some versions this is the only way to win. The U.K. rules (old and new) allow an alternative victory conditions: secret missions (Q2.2.1). The new U.S. edition offers a third scenario: capitals (Q2.2.2).

Are there different versions of the rules? Yes, several. There have been a large number of different versions published in the U.K. alone. In the U.S. the rules have been copyrighted six times: 1959, 1963, 1975, 1980, 1990, and 1993. The 1963 edition refers to the 1959 version as "the original French rules". The U.S. rules have subtle -- and some not-so-subtle -- differences from edition to edition, and many of the rules that have been "standard" in the U.K. editions for some time have only recently made it over to the States.I like that I am low vision. I think GOD created me that way for a reason, and, I am not going to fight with HIM about why HE did.The starters' bonus rating is the easy one! If a starter allows at least four earned runs, he normally becomes fatigued and switches to B grades with the next base runner allowed. But if he has a bonus inning (a raised number following his regular S rating) then he gets to stay on his A grades through the end of his bonus inning. Example: Joe Fastball is rated S64..

Q How do I challenge a play? A We do ask players to agree which dictionaries to use, prior to play, in the new game invite. If a word(s) played is not in the dictionary agreed, then that play can be removed using the Challenge Play link found at the top right hand of your game board page.

What kinds of games did the Vikings play? The Vikings played a lot of card and board games, especially during the winter. One of the games Vikings used to play is a board game called Hnefatafl which means "king's board or game" in Old Norse. This chess-like game of strategy simulated a Viking raid and the object of the game was to trap the King's piece.Missions are offered in some versions of the rules as an alternative way to win the game (see Q2.2). Missions have been available in European editions for a long time, but have only recently appeared as a variant in the U.S. Missions are used only if there are more than two players. - 16036

How To Learn Day Trading From The Pros

By Tim Hunt

Day trading can be an excellent way to make very good money. But, it is not an easy job, as some may imply. You'll need to put in a lot of work to be successful.

Day trading stocks and commodities is a great job and a quite profitable one as well. It requires certain traits for success, and certain habits will need to be internalized.

Time management is the first important habit. You must be able to wake up early and alert first thing in the morning and be ready to evaluate how you'll play the market that day. All of this must happen before the opening bell, which starts at 9:00 a.m. in New York, 6:00 a.m. in California, and 5:00 a.m. in Alaska and Hawaii. Getting out of bed early is only half the story; you'll also need to stay on schedule and have a good internal alarm clock. If you're the type who can't function before 11:00 a.m. or has to guzzle down multiple cups of coffee before facing the day, day trading may not be the job for you.

A second necessary habit is the ability to make good decisions with quick quantitative analysis skills. While hunches can make and lose money in day trading, you'll need to read, synthesize, and understand numbers without having to ponder them at length. You'll need to be able to determine financial trends at a glance, and act quickly with that information.

Let me just point out that you don't have to be a mathematician to be good at day trading. You can learn certain quantitative skills, even if you were never that great at math. Certain numerical skills will seem automatic to you once you've practiced them a bit.

A third habit that breeds success for day traders is patience and the ability to make keen observations. These habits must be combined with an excellent short-term memory. Patience can be tough to muster when you face the disappointment of missing a stock at its peak, or when you lose money because your low never came to pass. Try not to let these challenges drag you down. Also be sure to keep your cool when you score a winning trade.

The fourth habit you'll need to cultivate is research skills. Day trading, thankfully, does not require the same kind of in-depth numerical analysis as long-term investments, but you'll need a handle on the flow of information so that you can use this knowledge base when making quick judgments. Doing your research ahead of time is the only way to make good judgments quickly. But, don't get bogged down so much by research that you lose the ability to think and act fast.

Remember that you don't have to do all of this research and analysis alone. High level traders have many research tools and tricks, and various data analysis tools close by.

If you think you are ready for a career change and that day trading may appeal to you, you'll need to start by creating a support team. At a minimum, you'll need a broker, and a few investors willing to help you level the market. Realize ahead of time that it's hard work, and will require savvy, dedication, and focus.

If, after reading the skills listed above, you think you have what it takes to be a successful day trader, day trading may offer you a challenging and fun way to make a great living. It's a job that can be a ton of fun, and can provide tremendous riches ? in more ways than one. - 16036
