CSI Forex

If you trade the Forex market you will inevitably encounter the proverbial down day (or worse yet a series of down days). By bad day I mean when you put on a trade and from 'pip' one just goes against you. Tell me, after this happened have you:

Chased the trade and ended up losing more?
Revenge traded against the trend to recoup your losses and ended up losing more?
Moved your predetermined stop and ended up losing more?
Flipped your position and ended up losing more?

Have you noticed a theme??

Well, when I have a series of losing trades I go into CSI mode!

I actually conduct a crime scene investigation on my trading. First if I suffer a big lost I close my trade station immediately. Experience has taught me that I am susceptible to revenge trading. After a break (could be several minutes or several hours or several days) I take a look at my trade journal and look for clues as to why I suffered a draw down. Keeping a detailed journal allows me to reconstruct my trades to isolate potential errors.

If I am lucky I found that I had sound analysis and execution, but just hit some losers. More likely is that I got away from my style of trading or over-complicated my technique and entered into a bad trade.

Go back to the basics! It works every time!!

Hotel Le Meurice,Paris, France

Ideally located opposite the Tuileries Garden, between Place de la Concorde and the Musee du Louvre, Le Meurice has held sway as the jewel in the crown of French luxury hotels since 1835. Reflecting its uninterrupted attachment to the French art of living, Le Meurice is a magical, serene place, where the refined splendors of 18th-century architecture meet the latest in contemporary comfort and elegance.

Here, too, as the seasons pass, are born the creations of Yannick Alleno, the chef of the renowned restaurant, Le Meurice. Drawing his inspiration from the gastronomical treasures that abound in the Parisian region, this young French chef adds a daring touch to traditional dishes, creating a delicious, and whimsical, link between past and present.

Last December, the hotel came to a new embellishment phase of our reception areas by Philippe Starck and his daughter Ara. They have added a modern twist whilst preserving the special atmosphere of luxury that is the very soul of our establishment. The invitation to get away from it all and unwind remains intact with the exciting escapism of Chef Yannick Alleno's new culinary concept in our Restaurant Le Dali.

In the heart of Paris, a minute's walk away from Place Vendome and Rue Saint-Honore, where luxury stores and boutiques showcasing young flourish, Le Meurice gradually unveils its secrets, a haven of peace where you can truly be yourself.
