Day trading the Emini S&P Futures really is a great way to make a living! I hear and read a lot of articles, newspaper ads, and even one or two ezine’s that claim day trading is a sure fire way to lose all your money. I totally disagree. On the contrary, it is an incredible way to work a few hours a day and make a very nice 6 figure income.

No doubt, a lot of new day traders find themselves in peril and ultimately lose their money day trading. This bothers me when I read about it. It gives the successful day traders, such as myself – a bad name. I know quite a few day traders who have been succeeding at this for many years. What I learned is that success leaves clues! Meaning, the successful day traders seem to all be doing the same thing while the unsuccessful day traders are also doing the same thing – which, to no surprise is opposite of what the successful traders do!

We need to look at the root of the real problem, which is: Why are most day traders losing all their money? I think thats a real simple question to answer. Usually it is a lack of discipline and a solid set of day trading rules. Sometimes it is under capitalization and fear. Fear in itself is probably the biggest of the day trader “killers”.

You may purchase books, seminars, and perhaps create your own strategies to day … Continue Reading ...

Finishing your daily quests in Northrend will grant you not only gold, but a lot of reputation as well. I highly recommend that you do your dailies so that you can build up your reputation with certain factions that are beneficial to your class/spec. This Storm Peaks Daily Quest Guide will help you do just that! I will also include some Icecrown quest tips in this guide.

First off, head to the Storm Peaks at the Sons of Hodir place.

You should grab all of the quests there and then head west to Jormungar cave. Do all of your quests here (Kill the slimes, the worgs, use the stone, etc). Use QuestHelper add-on if you need additional help on these quests.

Next, go west to the barbarian place and grab that daily quest there called: [Barbarian Daily]. From here, you can either go to the pit and kill the challengers or you can use your bear and kill the barbarians there, it’s up to you. After you are done with all the quests at the Sons of Hodir you are pretty much finished with the Storm Peaks area. That is about 12 quests so far (in the Storm Peaks) that you have picked up that you will need to complete.

Now let’s take a look at some Icecrown Daily Quests:

Fly to Crusader’s Pinnacle and go to the Skybreaker and grab all of the quests there. Fly down just east of the Vyrkul place and gather up the two dailies … Continue Reading ...

Introduction

The word journal comes from the French “jour” which means day. Journaling each day is having a visit with your best friend, you.
This ancient practice dates back to the 10th century Japan. Successful people throughout history have kept journals.

Journaling has a positive impact on your well being. James Pennebaker, researcher, states that writing strengthens the immune system and decreases symptoms of asthma and arthritis. He also states that writing about stressful things helps you come to grips with them and thus reduces stress in your life.
Journaling is a chance to explore ideas in an unstructured environment.

Christina Baldwin:
“Journal writing is a voyage to the interior.”

Who should journal?

1. Anyone who aspires to write
2. Anyone who wants to capture feelings and insights
3. Anyone who wants healing of mind and body
4. Anyone who is trying to solve problems
5. Anyone who wants to find them selves

Why journal?

Scientific evidence supports that Journaling, accesses the left brain, the analytical brain. While it is busy, the right brain is free to create.
Writing clears mental blockages and allows you to understand your self.

Journaling every day will:

1. Clarify your thoughts. It is amazing how much clarity I find in writing. There is power in the connection of the brain, the pen, and the pad.
You cannot get the same benefit from journaling with your computer as you do by real writing.
2. Helps you examine feelings. I get moments of clarity about situations … Continue Reading ...

Daily forex chart analysis isn’t only for the traders who have a limited amount of time to look at their charts. Savvy day traders can make some really good use out of analyzing larger timeframes in order to get a better handle on the possible price action for the current day’s trading action.

Once believed to be a long term trader’s strategy, daily forex chart analysis has become extremely commonplace with swing traders. Looking to capitalize on a two to three day move, swing traders will often analyze daily candles and bars to identify trading opportunities.

Even day traders, who often scalp using 5 and 15 minute bars, will give a close examination of the daily trend prior to beginning their trading sessions. If a scalper can analyze a longer term chart and recognize an overall downtrend, they may want to consider taking only short trades during the session. Many successful day traders have stated that they must first have a daily bias for the overall trend, prior to trading off the smaller charts.

Another group that regularly reaps the benefits of daily forex chart analysis is traders who have regular full-time jobs. These traders only have a few hours in the evening time to peruse their charts in order to find some developing opportunities. All they really need is to isolate a daily candle set-up for the following day, and set their order triggers.

Using daily forex chart analysis does require some practice, however. As with anything else in … Continue Reading ...

Have you ever stopped to examine where you are in life and wondered how you got to where you are? I believe all of us have that experience every now and again.

So, the question that we ask ourselves is “How did I get here?”

Everything we do in life is governed by habits. Getting out of bed, praying or meditating, brushing our teeth, bathing, getting dressed, driving to work, reading a book or watching tv; these are all governed by habits. We have chosen to fill our daily lives with these certain habits. Whether these habits serve or not is a completely different story.

When I think about many of the habits I have, I know many of them do not serve me in a way I like. Replacing them with a different habit, though, is another topic.

Our daily habits will literally make us or break us. If we look at star athletes, what do they do? They have a certain routine they go through every day that leads them to success. They get up at a certain time. They exercise at a certain time. They eat certain foods at a certain time. All of this is for a purpose – to create success in their life.

When we look at a successful businessperson, we find the same thing applied a little differently. This person is doing certain things in a certain order on purpose: to create success.

This principle can be applied in any area of life. … Continue Reading ...

There are times, of course, when you need to hire a car by the day – perhaps it that is as long as you might need it, or maybe your plans are sufficiently flexible that your not yet sure just how long you will be needing the vehicle. To accompany such an arrangement, the rental company will offer the customer a daily car hire insurance rate.

At its most basic, this is most likely to include any third party cover required by law in the country in which you will be driving, plus a Collision Damage Waiver and theft cover, so that you are protected by the necessary elements of insurance against loss or damage to the rented vehicle. As with the standard forms of insurance included in most companies’ rental prices, however, an excess is incorporated into the cover, so that the hirer him or herself continues to shoulder a hefty first proportion of any bill for repairs. In the UK, for example, this excess is typically £600, but £1,000 is not at all uncommon.

Since the daily rental is only a fraction of this amount, therefore, the hirer could stand to foot a bill for any loss or damage to the vehicle that is many times the cost of the car itself. Added to this is the fact that most Collision Damage Waiver provisions do not include damage to the roof, underside, tyres or glass windows of the vehicle and necessary repairs to any of these would need … Continue Reading ...
