How Does Commodity Futures Day Trading Work?

What is commodity futures day-trading? Day-trading strategies are unique mechanical methods for entering a liquid commodity market early in the trading day and exiting some time later in the same day for a profit. Keith Fitschen has developed a family of day-trading strategies for the commodity markets that use the same basic market principle to gain systematic profits. The basic methodology uses multiple timeframe analysis to determine the likely trend for each market early in the trading day. When the likely trend is determined, entry is made in the direction of the trend. Trade exit is made in one of three ways: a stop loss point is hit (and the trade is a loss), a profit target point is hit (and the trade is a windfall profit), or the exit is made at the end of the trading day, usually for a profit. Keith Fitschen’s commodity futures day-trading methods are used in the most liquid commodities in each group: for the grains, wheat and soybeans can be traded; for the softs, coffe...

Running Linux Su and Sudo Commands to Work As Root and Viewing the Linux Root User Home Directory

Example of Using the Linux su Command Run the Linux su command with the dash option, as in “su -” (but not quotes). Then type in the password for the root user and press Enter. If you’re using Ubuntu, see the alternate steps below. Now type in the pwd command and press Enter to see your “path to (current) working directory”. If the su (superuser) command above worked, you should see the directory path of /root which indicates that you are now working as the root user at the Linux command line. Type in exit and press Enter to go back to working as a “regular” user. Example of Using the Linux sudo Command If you’re using Ubuntu or a variation, such as Kubuntu or Edubuntu, then run “sudo -i” (again, without the quotation marks) to start working at the command line prompt as the root user. You will need to type in the password of the first Linux user created on your system (during installation) and press Enter after running the sud...

When WordPress Permalinks Don't Work

You have just completed the installation and configuration of your new WordPress blog–by the book. You proudly log into the dashboard and select a customized permalink (I use /%postname%/) and then hit the “Save Changes” button to save your configuration. Your blog now–goes crazy. When you try to access your blog, your browser returns nasty error pages instead of your blog’s content. You recheck everything again, but can’t find any problem with your installation procedure. Using your FTP program or the WebShell utility at your web-host’s control panel, you verify that all of the necessary WordPress files and folders are in place and that the permissions are set correctly. In desperation, and using the control panel’s phpMyAdmin interface, you also verify that the MySQL database has been installed correctly and that the installer has configured the database tables. What could be wrong? Before deleting your WordPress files and folders and ze...

You’ll need to know about the zoning requirements for your area regarding any home based business, as well as finding out if a business license or business bank account will be necessary.

So Much Work for Just 60 Seconds

When you watch commercials, music videos, TV programs, or films, do you ever wonder who it is that handles the job of getting them on camera and how they’re put together? That’s the work of a video production company. There are really two kinds of companies that create video content. A technical production company may target details that the client isn’t interested in doing. They may do the things that come after the video is shot, the editing and the post-production. Or they may simply take the finished video and post it online. That’s one thing that a video production company may do. Other companies are full-service. That means they do it all from start to finish, and post-production as well. A full-service company will do the creative development, then write the script. They’ll be responsible for locations and casting. They’ll produce, edit, and deliver the final product for posting. A company like this is totally hands-on; the client states what t...

Blur the Line Between Work and Play

Make your vocation your vacation . I think that’s one of the smartest business concepts that I’ve ever run across. I learned it from a book called Work is My Play by Wallace E. Johnson, one of the founders of Holiday Inn. One of the things that Johnson says in his book that I like so much is this: the secret of success is to work half a day. It doesn’t matter which half you work; just make sure you work half a day. Now, you have to take that in its proper context, because he isn’t talking about a standard eight-hour workday. He’s talking about a day , the full 24-hour period from sunrise to sunrise, which means your “half-day” is 12 hours long. If that just shuts you down flat, consider this: when you study all the great business successes, you’ll see that they were not accomplished by people who punched time clocks like most people do. Average workers put in their 40 or 50 hours, but their real life exists beyond what they do for a liv...

Increase Your Market Value While You Work With a Part-Time MBA Degree

These days a lot of people want an MBA degree to enhance their career options. And who can blame them? There are rarely any programs like the MBA that offer a scientific approach to the fields of business and management that is based on theory and practice. And because of the high demand for these skilled individuals by the top corporations, the career possibilities of those who finish their MBA degrees are almost unlimited. An MBA degree is special because it trains an individual in certain concentrations of their choosing. Some of these concentrations would include: accounting, corporate strategy, decision sciences, economics, entrepreneurship, marketing, telecommunications and finance. Unspecialized MBA programs usually focus on strategic management and finance. And because it offers so many options for development it’s usually a sought after means or end for most people who attempt to scale the ladder. But not all people can avail of these perks because they can’t afford...
