For today's exercise, let's consider the GBPJPY. Looking at the five year chart on Google finance we can see an absolute range of approximately

Part Time Currency Trader

As I've written before it is quite easy to become a currency trader. The harder part is being a currency trader that doesn't lose money. You see, according to the scuttlebutt on the forums, about 90% of new traders end up losing their money to the market.Are you thinking about trying your hand?I'm not here to talk you out of it. I myself am a part time currency trader. By day I work at my

Forex Turmoil: Still On The Sidelines

During the last few weeks of topsy-turvy price movements I've been playing it safe. I like to buy carry trade pairs, but they've been heading down a lot.Now, the big question, when will things start to turn around? A few of the pairs are getting into historically low valuations. For example, take a look at the GBPJPY pair on google finance -- click the 5yr option when it loads.Sure, we could

USDCAD: TOO MUCH, TOO FAST

Wednesday, August 27, 2008

Last nite usdcad fall too much and too fast. Is is unexpected. As usual when a pair move too much and too fast, it will lose it balance. As a result, usdcad maybe entering swinging mode for a few days. It doesnt really has direction. It will just goes up and down waiting for it to balance out before a new trend continue.

I am still holding usdcad short for now but in the long run it is not profitable. I will exit soon and wait for the equilibrium of the pair.

CELCOM 3G TWEAK

Saturday, August 2, 2008

Market is closed so nothing to see and nothing to do. I will post today how to tweak Celcom 3G so that you can get maximum speed from HSPDA.

PC Setting

1st part is pc setting. You have to max out every setting at you pc for the Nokia Modem. Get to the properties of your modem be it a phone or dedicated modem. This is how my pc setting for the Nokia N95 modem.




That is the pc part. Some people say it is not important since the driver will determine the com speed but I do it anyway just to make sure all speed is max out. Next is the important thing that is the phone setting.


Phone Setting






Get into your phone menu and change the network setting to UMTS only but in order to do this u must make sure there is a strong enough 3G signal. This forces the modem to use UMTS or HSDPA mode. At the moment max download speed for HSDPA is 7.2 Mb. So in theory 2 Mb is a piece of cake.

That is the setting i use to tweak my celcom 3g using Nokia N95 as modem. Simple but effective. Highest download speed recorded is around 2Mb but as we know, Celcom 3G isnt at is best now. Sometimes when the network is bad I couldnt even log in. Considering the speed and mobility, Celcom 3G is going to kick screamyx ass for sure. Dont you think?

CELCOM 3G IS FAST AND FURIOUS

Friday, August 1, 2008


Last time I used to complain about Celcom 3G speed. Well it seems there is a way to make Celcom 3G fly. With a little tweaking you can achieve the same result and more.This is a recorded speed of my daily broadband unlimited with a cap speed of 384kbps. My max download speed is recorded at 2mbps. Anyone here wants the tweak?
