Today I started with one objection in mind…. Find out how long it takes to drop 300 Entrecards. I started at 6:30 am. For one hour, with a few slight interuptions, I was able to drop 100 cards within an hour. For the next hour, I mixed house cleaning and dropping cards. Within that two […]

Welcome to the Life and Times of Eric P. Martin blog.
I’ve decided to change the shape/direction /content of my blog to a more personal diary that will encompass more about me and my personal trek in life. I thought about what I was writing about is more about my personal journey that making money. My […]

I got my new computer yesterday along with my 22″ monitor, Nikon digital camera, zoom lense and 1 terabyte external back-up drive.
I promised myself that I would not place another trade until I got my computer. I wanted to really understand the EUR/USD market. Trade 003, would have been profitable if I had placed my […]

Well, after a long Memorial day weekend, I walked into the office to see my trade get a closed out at 1.5800. I’m thinking, 150 pips might be next.
I had a much needed 3 days off. I came up with an idea that I think will put me in the frame of mind to get […]
Analysis of Trade .002

After losing $200.00, I thought I would try to figure out what happened from last night until this morning where my trade went into the opposite direction. What made the market change?
U.S. Inital Jobless claims.
According to the Labor Department, first-time jobless claims had fell 9,000 to 365,000 from 374,000 the prior week. This news came out @ 7:30 am EST. […]
Trade # 2 - $200.00 Loss
Posted in May 22nd, 2008
by epm1013 in Uncategorized
I’m now going to start tracking/naming my trades. Yesterday’s trade is #2.
What did I learn. I lost $200.00. The trade was a buy @ 1.5800 and stop loss @ 1.5700. The trade was triggered late in the night and when I came to work the EUR/USD was hoovering around 1.5715. Then came the big drop […]
EUR/USD Buy @ 1.5800
Posted in May 21st, 2008
by epm1013 in Uncategorized
I don’t know, with oil over 132.00 a barrel, and the EUR/USD inching up, I felt it was time to place another buy. This time 2 lots @ 1.5800 and a stop @ 1.5700. Hopefully, I won’t lose on this one either.

$52.00 Profit
Posted in May 21st, 2008
by epm1013 in Uncategorized
Today, I walked in the office and closed my buy position @ 1.5753. I made $52.00. Again, my strategy is to close out profitable positions. $52.00 doesn’t seem like a lot but if I had enough money in my account, I would have bought more lots.
2 lots = $102.00
3 lots = $154.00
4 lots = $208.00
5 […]
1.5700 Buy EUR/USD
Posted in May 20th, 2008
by epm1013 in Uncategorized
Since my computer is out, I had to place a buy/limit trade over the phone (no cost) with 100 pip stop @ 1.5600. It’s killing me that I don’t have access to my computer at home.

Thinking Big
Posted in May 20th, 2008
by epm1013 in Uncategorized
This weekend, I had purchased Timothy Ferriss’s book, “The 4-Hour Workweek.”
After reading a few chapters, it seems the idea of “Thinking Big” has come up twice now for me. I had written about it when I read Amit Mehta’s e-book.
By Sunday, I’m super pumped with motivation. I set a goal to get $10,000 in 4 […]
