Right now Z is trading occasionally with the aim of supplementing his ‘day-job’ income. His current trading strategy means he tries to:
a) trade just one market (the FTSE)
b) make relatively few trades
c) make lower-risk trades
d) not let the sleep-loss caused by his new baby girl trash his judgement
Dub poker-heads come on down
OK, this post really has nothing to do with trading. Infact it is a shameless plug. But what the hell.
As dedicated poker fans will already know the Irish Open - the biggest Poker event in Europe - is kicking off tonight in the City West hotel. There’s €3 million prize money up for grabs and the winner walks off with €800k. Infact in the office we’ve been wondering whether this is the biggest prize for any sporting event in Ireland - anyone know?
Poker might not have that much to do with trading. But since the open outcry markets hardly exist any longer where else can you see 1000 people all in one room - some winning, some losing, all playing against each other? Anyway access to the event is free for everyone and with live music and lot’s of side shows even if the smell of money doesn’t get you the craic’ll be mighty.
Oh, and from Friday on paddypowertrader will have a bucking bronco going in the place. Where else would you be able to ride a bull these days?
