Welcome to a world of 2.5D (did I name this correctly?), Now this is nothing new, just soft of having some fun creating a 3D Presentation of a still photo using flash.

The inspiration came from some of the documentry show on Discovery Channel, showing stills but yet 3D animated pictures. It seems that it more and more of these appearing the media. I captured the idea by cutting up pictures into blocks, laid them layer by layer, did some math on the Matrix Transformation, put them into flash… … …(you won’t wan’t to know anymore)

I have serveral version of draft that doesn’t shows up that well:
First version
Second version
3D of 2.5D Stills (2.75D LOL! stupid name)

Its time to long EURUSD

As you can see the resistance as became a support at 1.3520, This is a very healthy good sign for a uptrend. It’ll be a great time for a long position.

So how long will this trend last?

Well the easiest way to tell is to plot 4 lines, and prepare tighten the stoploss as the price hits the second line from the top. Probably 3-8 days who knows?

I had made 3% profit from my capital, well over 400 pips of profit

Look at this! A classical acending triangle which indicates a breakout anytime soon! I’m talking about 8 hours ago…

Usually when I saw this, I’ll always place a buy stop and sell stop above and below the 2 triangular line, so as long as there is any breakout, I’ll expect well over 100 pips profit for the next 3-7 days.

Well what the heck, I did placed a buy stop at 1.3713 but I totally forgotton to place a sell stop at 1.3680 (why? interrupted by phone calls). Now i missed an opportunity to make some nice clean profit. May be the next thing that I could do is to re-enter during the retracement.

Updates:
Alright, I placed a sell limit at 1.3630, let’s see how far it brings me to!

Finally I’m back in action!

If you had been reading my blog from time to time must had noticed that I haven’t been posting for quite some time! Many things happens to me lately and almost screwed up all of my planning…

First off my girlfriend had dengue fever, the dengue fever wasn’t detected earlier due to the inconsistent diagnostic and poorly interpreted by the doctor from Klinik ******** at SS2. Here is a typical conversation of a visit:

Patient: Doctor, I’m not feeling well, I had a fever…
Doctor: Alright, fever, I’ll give you some fever pills….
Patient: I also have some flu…
Doctor: Ic, then you had a flu and fever… I’ll shall give you some flu pills.
Patient: Doctor, what do I get fever and flu? is there anything wrong?
Doctor: How can you ask me? You had to tell me, You are the one who get sick… What did you eat last night?
Patient: I ate this this this and that that that…..
Doctor: Then probably you had a food poisoning…
Patient: …. WTF….. I think guardian pharmacy can do better than you…..

I Had enough with all these crappy advise and switched to another clinic at Taman Megah.
Immediately the doctor identified that this was a dengue fever and she was admitted to hospital for for 5 days. I do receive some of the advise that I appreciate alot “Nothings is more important that the people you love..” I left all my business projects aside and paying 100% attention to her…

Few weeks later when I started to resume my projects, I found out that one of my dedicated server was dead for days! (I should at least check some emails!) and this incident threatening zero income for the month August and September, I had to quickly came up a plan to keep the business running or else it is going to be a game over for me!

Halfway trying to recover my business, I fallen sick (oh yea, everything comes at the right moment) another 4 days delay in my projects.
So what is so significant with 4 days? Let me put it this way, 4 days is almost 13% of the month, meaning that i’m loosing at least 10% of the income!

Well right now everythings is going back on track, Hopefully this incident did not significantly damage my comming months income.

3. Self improvement

Great book for after you are involved in trading, It is quite a good self-decipline book that is easy to read and straight forward.

Yo Yo!, long time no blog, what had i been up to? well many interesting ideas of course!

I went to genting last month and of course I can’t miss the fun in casino, I personally like gamble so much, (like, not addicted) But I’m not satisfy to the payout at all, I don’t like to be cheated!

I calculate a complete odds and payout chart to calculate the winning chance. You will find that you loose in the long run. It doesn’t takes too long for the house present its edge in as little as 1,000 rounds.

Let’s start from the game roulette. Roulette is the most fair game where the payout is distributed evenly on every types of bet combination, as well as the winning chance is the closest to 50% among all other game offered in Genting (blackjack are not included in the discussion here).

Here is the house chart for Single zero Roulette:

As you can see here, you are loosing 2.7% every spin you play, this is how casino makes money. There is not any method of combination can beat the house edge, not even the timing can affect the winning chance, roulette ball falls into the hole by nearly pure random.

I used to have many foolish idea trying to beat this roulette such as Martingale system (aka doubling up), entry exit at right moment, betting 34 of 37 numbers. I build a gambling analysis software by simulating millions of spin per hour just to test out variouse Myths and betting system that i can think of. Now I have the answers.

Martingale

Martingale is very interesting idea, you double your bet when ever your lose, keep doing it and you can almost guaranty to recover your loss plus a token of wins.

However the risk involve are way too high, it may cost you up to thousands just to gain a dollar, and often you have to are forced to give up when you hit the limit of your chips, or you had reached the ceiling of the bet limit. So far I won 200 bucks till date :p, but I’m not going to use this system anymore ever.

Timing

Once I had an idea of betting at the right moment. Many had told me that it is rare to have 10 blacks in a row, it is very probably to come out red. So by common sense, people will started to place bets on Red as it goes. The hard truth is, this is not a car dealing game, the result you see on this spin will not affect the following result, this means the chances of the ball falling into black after 10 black streak are still suprisingly 48.6%.

If you only start playing after at least 8 streaks or more, you will soon realised that you often challanged with unbelievable 16, 22 black streaks!. This is because of the untold implication result from the pure randomness of the roulette ball. Come on!, this is not stock market, there is no such thing as Timing!

Betting 34 of 37 numbers

This once fools me, and it will never again.

Initially I was thinking of finding a way of win more frequent while leverage down to earn lesser just to gain some insurance. I came out an idea of betting almost all numbers. Initially it worked, I won 97% of the time, but after a long run I started to realised that although i’m winning more frequent, the payout isn’t gonna give me a positive ROI. foolish me…..

So whats the most fair method to play on roulette?

This answers is not created by me, this result is proposed by roulette simulation analysis software. To have a fair and safe, bet red (or any 1 to 1 bets) all night long. It is the most secured, low risk, and stable outcome, “predictable”……. you can ever find in the entire casino.

 

Motivation tips

Others than the odds and payout presented from my simulator, there is also one crucial piece of information that I must share. I once set “What if the roulette has player edge by +0.1%”, and with RM 1,000 on hand, 8 hours available for gamble, I will profit about RM 90 per night.

But wait a minute, isn’t working in office for 8 hours can earn you more than 90 bucks? with better comfort chair, good enviroment, employee benefit:p, and much more meaningful things to do while you alive?

 

Happy Betting!

To share the experience with you, I produced a video journal for it!

Anyone interested to discuss on the makings? Feel free to send me comments about the video!

Trivial: How many of the people who had entered the working life are still constantly, persistently seeking for knowledge with the goal of improving their life?

Trivial: Are you doing something today to make a changes for your future?

All of these self improvement ideas came to me in by accident, well it does sparks up a new direction for me to pursuit for the new few months, probably years to come. It is quite embarrass to realize how many things that I could do to make a changes to my life.

For the past one week I had been busy working with my project as usual, lots of problems, lots of meetings and lots of headache moment. I feel like I’m lack of something, something kind of management towards my projects… So I decided to find some quick article to see if I can explore about.

I started by getting my self some EBooks. Ebooks was a wonderful idea! Lot’s of material, and its everywhere! Some are free some were not, I got my self some of the topics I needed the most:

• Effective Writing Skills for Public Relations
• How To Make People Like You In 90 Seconds or Less
• Multiple Streams of Internet Income – Robert G.Allen
• Norman Peale – The Power of Positive Thinking

(As you were reading my blog, you probably find that my writings skills are not so good, that’s why I got my self one of the Writings books =p)

After getting my self so many books, it quickly came to a new problem that I didn’t anticipate initially, so where do I get such time and eye power to read all these stuff?

Well there is a way, why read EBooks when you can listen to Audio books! . Yes you can listen rather than reading. It is so much easier, I don’t have to stretch my eye, not sitting straight! I don’t even need to hold the book while the material just flow into my ears!

With Audiobooks, it can filled in to my schedule more efficently, I can now listen to Audio Books while I’m in the car or commuting. I think an average person commute up to 90 minutes daily, that means any person can easily allocate 90 minutes to improve themselves!

So no more lame excuses, let’s start to do something about your life, just google the term “audiobooks” and do something to change your life!

I’ll share some good audio books topics next week. I’ll need some time to digest all of these!
