I want to bring your attention to a good post from my friend Mirjam in her Blog MeMyselfandI about how to improve your Blog avoiding some common mistakes, I know that I am making some of these ones too:

Since I am still looking to change my theme and improve my blog overall, I thought I should focus on mistakes to avoid, apart from just looking for a new theme.

So I started to look around for telltale signs that show a blogger is new to blogosphere. A lot of these mistakes can really work against all the efforts one puts in a blog without even realizing that that is why bounce rates go up and visitors just seem to ignore what you yourself believe is “the best blog on earth”.

Who the hell am I to come up with a list of newbie mistakes?

 I will be the first one to admit that I am guilty of making (or having made) the following mistakes.

I am trading in the Forex market for more than 1 year and maybe my experience can help many people to trade. I must tell you that it´s not an easy way. You are looking for a new way to gain some extra money (forget to make you a millionaire trading Forex) and you have always read that this is the biggest financial market in the world and you can gain that money working at home once you have learnt how to trade.

Yes, it´s great!, but as I told you before it´s not an easy way. Firstly you begin reading a lot about forex in many websites, as for example babypips, to understand the basics to trade in this market, it takes some time and effort, maybe forex is not for you. You are surprised with all the indicators and strategies that many people use, and it seems that everybody is gaining money applying them (don´t believe them, most of them will never tell you that they are losing money).

Once you have learnt all that you think you need about forex you begin to trade in a demo account (someone told you: first trade in a demo account, don´t risk your money: good advise). You are surprised!, you made more than 20% in 1 month!, how easy is to trade Forex!. Many people has experienced the beginner luck.

Some months later and after learning more and more you have decided to trade with real money, you are going to gain a lot of money :) You learnt a lot about indicators, financial news, strategies and you begin testing one of these strategies in your real account (have you ever heard about money management?).

Maybe the first month you gain some good money (he he Forex is easy! I am a good trader! those traders out there only gaining 5% monthly don´t know what they do!), but in a short time you have lost all your money (ouch…).How is it possible?, I was gaining a lot in my demo account during some months and also in my first month with a real account…

Yes, you need to lose money to gain experience and humility, if you don´t learn from your mistakes you will not trade with success later. And the market is not always the same, those nice strategies work very well during some months and others not.

Some months later you have lost some good money and you don´t know how to trade, you even change your strategies from time to time and always losing (Forex is not as easy as I thought…). You discover that all you have learnt seems worthless. Many people even say goodbye and never trade again when they reach this level. Other people continue with his will and illusions, they want to be good traders!, they don´t surrender and they discover how important was a good money management (if I would have known about it before…).

Now you are trading again in a demo account but this time with a good money management and with few indicators (trend lines, channels…), as simple as possible. You gain more and more experience: patience, discipline, almost an intuition that tells you when and how to trade. You are gaining more and more confidence and your trades are doing very well. Here you are beginning to trade in a right way.

Now you know that you should only risk 1% or 2% of your entire funds in your opened trades. Now you understand that Forex is not as you thought and you understand those traders gaining a lower but safer profit every month.

Do you feel identified with this experience?.

Your comments are welcome.

Today I had my first experience browsing internet with this new search engine, I think that it´s great to see the websites before opening them. It´s now in a beta version and only by subscription but I think that this is the future of search engines. I also think that google will move to this visual experience sooner or later :)

You can download my screencast browsing internet with the word “Forex” (quicktime format) here:

I always liked music and composing and I found my new macintosh a great machine to enjoy in my real job, where I spend many died hours and boring (if I am not trading Forex he he).

There are better music programs like “logic studio” or “logic express” that I am testing too, but the simplicity of Garage Band is great. When I received my new mac and installed Leopard operative system the wallpaper was an image from the space with great colour. And I found myself testing garage band, composing with the keys of the laptop (lol) this short music:

Today I was thinking in my chilhood and my walks along the green field near my house, and this is what I´ve got:

Pastoral

Only 2 short tracks to share, don´t be too hard with me :P

If you are the lucky owner of a Macintosh machine with Leopard you can also trade with mt4 platform using codeweavers or parallels-vmware fusion. With these last ones I recommend you giving the virtual machine 900 MB - 1GB of Ram memory.

First we will see some screenshots with codeweavers. I prefer this software because you consume less cpu and memory than using parallels with a Windows operative system inside:

-Click to see the images-

MT4 opened:

Look the icons of 2 mt4 platforms (IBFX and Alpari) in the Dock:

http://noponzi.com/Image2.png

When you touch the icons it shows you the platform, your account number and more information before clicking it:

Now we will see a Windows XP inside Mac Leopard with parallels:

Booting Windows XP:

Working:

You can even use only the “start” toolbar from Windows XP (”Coherence” Mode) avoiding the full screen and opening your Windows applications in the Mac Desktop (look the start toolbar above in the screenshot):

Shutting down Parallels:

If you use Mac and have some problems to trade email me and I will try to help you.

Enjoy.

Previously I posted about truecrypt to encrypt your files, folders, hard disks, pen drives… in this post. Now I want to show you another easy and free program to protect your files/folders with a password, avoiding spies or not authorized accesses.

This program: Androsa File Protector protect your files and folders easily with Rijndael (AES) 256 bits algorithm by defect. It works with Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003/Vista.

You only have to install this program and when you want to protect a file or folder with a password right click on this file/folder and choose “Androsa FileProtector System” in the menu. A new window will appear and you only have to type some good password and click on “Protect”. Nothing more. A new icon will appear in this file/folder: a padlock.

When you want to restore this file/folder you must do the same you did before but now you must type the password and click on “Restore”.

Free online file conversion

Posted In: Tricks by Jose

Thanks to my friend Luis for sharing this information :)

Do you need to convert an avi file to mpg, or bmp to jpg, perhaps a pdf file to word or even a video file to see with your mobile telephone?

You can convert many different files online (audio, video, texts, archives, images…) in this webpage: Media Convert

I hope that it can be useful to you ;)

If you use the Windows´option “Restore point”, I will show you an easy way to make these restore points:

- Right Click in your desktop and create a new Text document.

- Open this text document and type these code (VBS):

Set sr = getobject(”winmgmts:\\.\root\default:Systemrestore”)

msg = “A new restore point has been created.” & vbCR

msg = msg & “The name is: ” & vbCR

msg = msg & “Automatic Restore Point ” & Date & ” ” & Time

If (sr.createrestorepoint(”Automatic Restore Point”, 0, 100)) = 0

Then

MsgBox msg

end if

Save this text and close the file. Rename this file to RestorePoint.vbs (click Yes when Windows advices you about this change).

That´s all. Everytime you click on this file in your Desktop, a new restore point will be automatically created.
