Twitter Weekly Summary for 2009-10-25
- I spent 4 hours writing this post on image format to use for saving stock charts! It's my way of procrastinating. http://bit.ly/xAmkO #
- It is by far the most useless and impractical post I wrote in my trading journal! Can't believe that I've just spent 4 hours doing that!!! #
- working on another data scraping pipe #
- RT @FluffyYumYum y the hell is passed 10 a tt? its not puting no more bread in my pockect!! iam not gettin no Effin Raise!!!!!!!! — so true #
- looks as though Pipes doesn't handle CSV well… can't seem to manipulate the scraped quotes data there #
- trying to re-mix the CSV quotes in #RapidMiner #
- just did a quick experiment, google doc can do what I want in scraping yahoo finance data #
- now I'll need to do all that work again… sign #
- it seems that it's not easy to do it in google doc either! I'm giving up for now and will just update the data manually #
- found some data scraping tools for Yahoo Finance, http://www.yloader.com/ and http://bit.ly/RlPs2 #
- spent too much time building data scraping macro… should work on model first and do this manually for now #
- I'll cut myself some slack and take a break this afternoon. Going to watch the 6th #HarryPotter movie now. #

- seems that my $GBPUSD short from last night is filled just now @ 1.6340 #

- $CADJPY correction, target 84.30, R/R only 1.3 < 2.5, no short #
- $EURJPY, my favourite, upside break above 136 but little momentum so far…prob consolidate around here for now #
- $EURCHF watch for break below 1.51-1.50. A long term support. Not going long either because of neg divergence on recent tops. #

- $NZDUSD consolidating high above, no short because of momentum, not until break of daily support around 0.73 #
