I was given some good advice during this course but I have since found that there are more many more ways to skin a cat than sticking to hard a fast Forex trading rules. If all traders are sticking these common trading beliefs one has to ask the question - why do so many fail?One of the Golden rules of Forex trading I was told is - Never, but never, trade without a stoploss. I took this rule very much to heart and started trading with stops. Like most beginners my stops were way too tight and small and I got stopped out time and time again. As I gained experience and started trading the bigger price waves I started trading bigger stops. I soon realised that the bigger your stop the higher your success rate. However I also soon found out that the gains made on nine successful transactions when using big stops can very quickly be ... | | By: forex | | |

| | Quirky rules about the Presidential Election might surprise you—in fact, they will surprise you | | 2008-08-22 20:40:00 | | There are some really quirky laws governing a Presidential Election. For instance, did you know that if a president-elect dies before he's sworn in, but after Congress certifies an election that the vice president-elect would become the president? Or, did you know if a Puerto Rican person lives on the mainland [or Hawaii or Alaska], he or she can vote in the Presidential Election—but if that same person's established residency was on the Island of Puerto Rico, he or she can't vote in the regular election?
There are tons of other instances like this one—and thanks to the good people of MSNBC, a lot of strange questions are answered about the election. This is one you'll definitely want to read—you're bound to learn something new. Click here for more.... | | By: The Hudson Line Blog | | |

| | Rules for wearing bright shoes | | 2008-08-01 21:13:00 | | Ever since Spring, brights have been a really big trend. From the runway to the streets: pink, blue, green, yellow, red, purple, orange, turquoise and lime. You name it and you'll get a variety of shoes to pick from. So how do you integrate bright shoes into your ensemble? Here are a few basic rules: Match your shoes with a color in your top. Some find this look a bit boring. I personally love seeing things being mixed up too and people being more daring. But matching in this way continues to make a stylish statement, so don’t feel obligated to mis-match if it’s not your style.Wear several brights of the same intensity. By this I mean, for instance, wearing a blue dress, with a red clutch and a yellow handbag.- sure it's daring but it's also modern, creative and it works. Throw in a pastel (pink for instance) and you will look like one hot mess. I definatly experimenting with this "rule" though.Match bright shoes with the same color handbag.

Sure, why not?I like ankle bracelets, even if I don't usually wear one regularly.I like the whole theory behind it that if you wear it on your right ankle it means you are sentimentally "taken", while if you wear it on your left ankle it means you are "single". I am all for facilitating communication.What about a woman that wears one on each ankle? Easy! It means "married and looking" ;)I like wearing the anklet in the summer, with perfectly tanned and toned legs... as I was saying, I don't wear one often.But I am planning on changing that, in fact, I will start looking for a pretty ankle bracelet to wear during these hot weekends... and I say weekends because I think there are some rules that should be followed in order to avoid an anklet fashion faux pas.1) The ankle bracelet has a flirty and sexy connotation, so it's a bit tacky to wear one in an office environment that implements business attire.

| | Despite the economy, investing rules stay the same: Risk it or stay safe | | 2008-07-06 11:13:00 | | Gail MarksJarvisJuly 6, 2008Want to find a safe investment that will pay you more than CDs or Treasury bonds?Welcome to the club. Financial advisers say they are busy listening to clients who are afraid of stocks but are tired of earning less than 4 percent on safe investments while gasoline and food prices soar.But if you think your adviser is going to find you a juicy, no-risk delight, you have just flunked Investing 101.The immutable truth of investing is that you get two choices: You either keep your money fairly safe and earn relatively little interest on it, or you tell yourself honestly that you will take a chance with your money—risking it on an investment that potentially could pay you more than something safe, but with the full knowledge that "risk" means you can lose money as well as make it.The pros talk about it as the choice between "risk and reward."

| | Ten investing rules that will help you weather this stormy market | | 2008-06-13 14:49:00 | | By Jonathan BurtonTen rules to remember about investing in the stock marketSAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Rules may be meant to be broken, but with investing ignoring the rules can break you.Especially now. Investment rules are tailor-made for tough times, allowing you to stick to a plan just when you need it most. Indeed, a rulebook is important in any market climate, but it tends to get tossed when stocks are soaring. That's why sage investors warn people not to confuse a bull market with brains.So with the economy looking more and more like the oil-shocked, stagflation-strapped 1970s, and stocks recoiling from rising unemployment, record energy prices and falling home values, it makes sense to dust off the old playbook and see how it applies today.One of the most relevant lists of rules, from a legendary Wall Street veteran, is also among the least known.

There is no point drawing conclusions on the outcome of just one –or even a few-trades.

Repeat your key strengths three times.It's essential that you comfortably and confidently articulate your strengths. Explain how the strengths relate to the company's or department's goals and how they might benefit the potential employer.

Then to have this happen I’m sure is extremely frustrating. I’m upset for him just because there was such confidence from him about how he felt.”Prior seemed destined to become baseball’s next elite starting pitcher after going 18-6 with a 2.43 ERA in 2003 for the Chicago Cubs.

| | 7 rules self-made millionaires live by | | 2008-05-31 19:51:40 | | Treat money as something to save and invest. The minute you receive your paycheck or a windfall (example, an inheritance or a bonus), think of how much you can put away as savings.Assume some risk when investing. When you play safe in investing, you’ll get safe (but low) returns as well. Millionaires have gone out on a limb putting up businesses which they hoped would earn — nothing is guaranteed. But it is in taking calculated risks that they are rewarded.Live simply. Some millionaires have lived in the same homes they have had for the past 30-40 years. Or they live in the homes they inherited. You can also take a cue from the way millionaires live: not all party every night, nor do they buy every new car model that’s released. Instead, you’ll find these millionaires working at their desks at 8 a.m. and having just two cars in the garage.Have a goal. By being specific, you will be more motivated to reach your goal. For instance, make it your goal to have your own home by the t... | | By: What I Think... | | |
| | Favorite Money Rules to Live by | | 2008-05-31 19:51:40 | | Retirement, Part I: "Save 10% for basics, 15% for comfort, 20% to escape." This rule of thumb works pretty well if you start to save for retirement by your early 30s. Saving at least 10% of your income ensures you won't be eating pet food. Fifteen percent should get you a more comfortable living, while 20% gives you a shot at an early retirement (and yes, you get to count employer contributions as part of your percentage). Wait just a decade to start, though, and you'll need 15% for basics and 20% for comfort; an early retirement may not be in the cards.Retirement, Part II: "Retirement money is for retirement; until then, keep your mitts off it." There's rarely a good reason to borrow against your retirement accounts, and almost never a reasonable excuse for cashing them out. Look elsewhere to find money to pay your debts or buy a home.

Porsche's average was 26 mpg last year, and it paid $4.6 million in fines for falling short of current federal standards.``The year 2015 in the car market is like tomorrow morning,'' Detlev von Platen, chief executive officer of Atlanta- based Porsche Cars North America, told reporters today in New York. ``We have to find a compromise, these rules are not fair.''Porsche is working to improve its average fuel economy as regulators push for higher mileage and lower emissions of pollutants, and as U.S. average gasoline prices rise to record highs of almost $4 a gallon. The new U.S. standards may almost double fines for not complying.By the end of 2010, th... | | By: Autos Space | | |

But are there any “anonymous†people who get to wear a diamond necklace? If in the past the answer to such a question would have been a discouraging “noâ€, we cannot claim the same thing nowadays when diamonds have become more accessible to the average buyer.
