Free Pivot-Points Calculator for Forex traders (No adds No Banner)

2007-08-07T03:10:00.000-11:00

If you are a Forex Trader, I believe that you are already know about what the pivot-points is and how it can help us to identify support and resistant levels in our trade. In order to identify this particular lines/points on the chart, we need to do 7 calculations to identify 3 support level, 3 resistant levels and a pivot point which is the main reference line. Some traders even do more calculation to determine
the extra 4 intermediate levels or better known as M1, M2, M3 and M4 levels. As we are not born to be an accountant or a so called math's genius, the calculation could take a long time to be completed and even possibly generate some error. And by that time, you might missed the biggest rides of the day! So, to make humans life more easier, I have created a Pivot-Points Calculator using Macromedia Flash 8 and you can download it for free now from this blog. Be happy that I forgot to put some adds, banner or limitation of usage on it.. haha..

This program has been simplified based on this formulas;

Resistance 3 = High + 2*(Pivot - Low)
Resistance 2 = Pivot + (R1 - S1)
Resistance 1 = 2 * Pivot - Low
Pivot Point = ( High + Close + Low )/3
Support 1 = 2 * Pivot - High
Support 2 = Pivot - (R1 - S1)
Support 3 = Low - 2*(High - Pivot)

Now, you can finish all this complex calculations with no major error in a blink. All you need to do is to define the High, Low and Close price of the previous day trading session and put it into the input box then press the calculate button and you're done! It's that simple. I'm not a programmer but if you found any flaws while using this program, please let me know. Kindly post your problem here or mail me via YM(Located on th right navigation of this site).I'll try fix it. Thanks and wish you all the best in every trading.

Novativa Streamster on Linux (Ubuntu Dapper)

2007-08-01T02:54:00.001-11:00

Damn.. This thing is killing my brain! I've done everything I could. I already have the latest stable wine installed that I compiled it myself. I also installed samba and mozilla's ActiveX but still found no success. I know, the easiest way is by using the VMware software but It is not really practical when working with forex. I hope someone out there will help me with this problem. Thanks.

I really hope marketiva will develop a streamster for linux too..

A good way to make an offline packages for your Ubuntu!

2007-07-31T00:33:00.000-11:00

I feel so lucky that I found APTonCD. This tool allows us to backup all the downloaded packages into the CD or DVD. Of course, this tool is very useful when your computer is not connected to the Internet. This situation had always been my problem.

This tool is very graphical and that make it easier to use for a beginner Ubuntu user like me. hehe.. To use this tool, you may need an empty CD or DVD but not really neccesery because APTonCD can also backup your installed packages into an iso images. Go to http://aptoncd.sourceforge.net/ and download the latest release of this tool if you want to have a try.

*Updated

Installing APTonCD in Ubuntu 6.06 dapper

I discovered an error when I tried to install APTonCD for the first time in Ubuntu Dapper. Something like "Dependency is not satisfied : python support" appeared. And when I try to install from the terminal, I got this result

kevin@linuxbox:~/Desktop$ sudo dpkg -i aptoncd_0.1-1_all.deb --force-all
Selecting previously deselected package aptoncd.
(Reading database ... 74701 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking aptoncd (from aptoncd_0.1-1_all.deb) ...

dpkg: error processing aptoncd (--install):

aptoncd

If you faced the same error as mine, try installing the python-support_0.5.6_all.deb packages from here before reinstalling the APTonCD. It works fine for me, it should works for you too.

Yes there is a tiny GNU program that enable you to download files from the internet by typing the "wget" command on the windows cmd. It is GNU wget. I like this program because it run and process at minimum condition. Just like in Linux.

PlayStation2 On Windows XP!

2007-07-26T02:07:00.001-11:00

There is no PS2 emulator works for windows XP. Is it true? Not really! Here's a proof by me. I found a program known as PCSX2 that enable us to play PS2 DVD disc on PC. All you need is a BIOS that comes with the PS2 because the PCSX2 emu will asked for it later after you run the program. Just go to http://www.pcsx2.net/ for further guide if you feel unsure about the rising matter. Actually, it doesn't works pretty fine for me as it need a great CPU and graphic card to function well. :D At least I know it's working for Windows XP and proofed you by the following snapshots. ;P

Those pics shows the SpongebobSquarepants PS2 dvd game can be mount in windows with this kool program. Linux version also available at the official site.

Slackware 12!

2007-07-23T21:58:00.000-11:00

After experiencing several times of failed installation and hard moments, I finally be able to online and blogging with my Slackware 12. It was the first Slackware I ever installed in my PC. Thanks to my friend for blogging about it because I became inspired after I read his Slackware review. :D Then I started to get my self a copy of Slackware 12. It took about 4 days to completing the 3.6GB of download via torrent. Yes, I know my internet connection is slow as I am a Streamshit subscriber. Then I burned the dvd image to my dvd-rw replacing the existing UbuntuStudio i previously burned.

Slackware 12

The newbie installation journey begin right after I boot the dvd. An echo prompted out and ask me to choose huge*** or something. I forgot the file name but as I am using x86 machine, so I just hit enter. Then I cfdisk to manage my partitions. After reserving two partitions for linux-swap and extended type of partitions, I proceeded the installation. bla bla bla bla.. and tadaa... The installation done. I installed Lilo as an OS manager so I be able choose whether to use Windows or Linux system. I rebooted up and aRgghh! No operating system! What's going on? After I reinstalled the Slackware and read the instruction carefully. I spotted my mistake that I did not manage my fstab before the I run the installation. I forgot to add all my systems and disc drives into it the fstab list and that make sense why Lilo cannot detect any operating systems at my first installation. And this time, Lilo shown up and the two operating systems listed on my monitor. I have booted the Linux and login as a root and start the x window and tadaaa!!! Yess! I made it! I can see the cool KDE blue mode interface on my moniter hehehe. But now its not cool anymore as I don't really like the blue color. I opened firefox but no connection detected. I take a while and play around with the network setting and configured my network manually and reopened my browser and Tadaa!! I'm connected to the internet! And now my graphic card driver. I go to Nvidia official site and download the related driver. I read some instruction from a forum and guest what found? The installation was easier for Slackware 12 because no extra configuration needed like I always managed to do for Ubuntu distribution. What else? Yes the sound system. I try to play the mp3 from my optical drive with amarok. The visualization seems to play but I couldn't hear any sounds out from my headphone. I check the alsamixer setting to find out if the volume is set to mute and yes it is. I have unchecked all the muted setting and tadaaa again!!! The mp3 is streaming fine. One more thing, the mouse wheel! I make some changes to the xorg.conf and rewrite the file. I reboot the system and again I try to scroll up and down in the browser to make sure it work properly and tadaaa... All works perfectly.. And now here I am writting on this post. Huh! what a long journey. But I feel satisfied that i made Slackware 12 working on my PC.

Adobe Photoshop CS3

2007-07-11T21:06:00.001-11:00

I love Photoshop CS3! Look what it does to my plain hand. With just a little touch , anyone can change a crap of image into something wonderful with Adobe Photoshop. I've been using it since Photoshop 7 and obviously it was a great and useful tool for web and graphic designer. There is another software that I often use for the same purpose known as Macromedia Fireworks. Fireworks is less complex than Photoshop but also providing less facilities.

The cool thing about Fireworks is that it has been integrated with other tools such as Macromedia Dreamweaver & Flash and that make things

more easier to work with all of the software together. If you are still using the built in graphic editing software such as Paint and wanna have a try on Photoshop, you can download the free trial on Adobe official site at www.adobe.com. Or otherwise, you can find the keygen somewhere around haha!. Have fun with it and create your own imagination.

Waste of time

2007-07-11T20:46:00.000-11:00

Kind of busy in the past few days. Trying so hard to find a way to build my own home web server, and drink 5 gallons of coffee every night and let my computer online for almost a week and sweating a lot because of the heat from the PC turned my room into a microwave oven. But in the end, it doesn’t work at all for both Ubuntu Server and Windows Server 2003 in my virtual server. It was frustrating and I gave up. BTW, I'm learning PHP right now instead of wasting my time trying those though things. PHP is fun and easy to understand compare to other programming languages. hopefully I can build my own dynamic site with PHP and MYSQL later in the future. hehe..

Is your Kaspersky blocked your torrent client (Azureus, Utorrent, Bitcomet etc..)?

2007-07-01T19:34:00.000-11:00

Torrents hates firewall. If you are using kaspersky Internet Security, the incoming and outgoing ports need to be configure. You have to allow all tcp/udp ports activities and let the torrent client running wherever it should be. Now, I will show you how to do it by the following step.

1.Open up your KasperskyInternet Security and go to Firewall section under the protection. Click on the filtration rules and a popup will show up.

2. Click on the add button to set a rules for your torrent client. I'm using azureus in this example.

4. Another popup will present, now click on the template and allow all your TCP/UDP ports activities.

Look at the rules of your application, you should see your program listed
5. Now run another test and tarraaaa! The ports needed for torrent client has been unblocked.

Easiest way to create page

2007-06-22T13:19:00.000-11:00

Nowadays, almost everyone have a site. Even a dog have its own. Yesterday, my friend ask me what is the best tool to start with. Macromedia Dreamweaver or antenna? And I prefer him antenna as it was the easiest way to learn the basic and understanding all the functions even without knowing html language. Than and I got interested to make a simple video tutorial in sabahan native language. I guest I'm not a good teacher. It was not that easy than i thought. Kind of "bikin Panas" sometimes to hear my own voices. You can download the tutorial here

Flickr

2007-06-19T13:01:00.000-11:00

I've just opened a flickr account and uploaded some photos that I took at Lokawi beach last Sunday. I went there with my family. Although, my father did not came along with us and he enjoy his drinks and songs with my uncle at home. It was an opportunity for my brother and I to capture some of the wonderful views even though the beach seems to be polluted. An endangered animal with wounds on its body caught my eyes. I wonder who did it. But I know it was done by uncivilized kind of people. Here's an image taken by my brother.

I will add some more photos in my flickr gallery later. You are welcome to give a comment as I am not a pro photographer. Just taking photo for fun. Below is my favorite photos.

Port Forwarding DSL-308ER

2007-06-19T10:54:00.001-11:00

It's been a while since my last post. Now I got time to blog again. Yesterday, I went to KK to get my home a new modem. It was the second modem I bought for this year. The first one has broken and I have no idea what is the cause. But just before it, there has been a cable stealing near my place and whole neighborhood went blacked. I guest that’s why my router was dumped into the sea. Hehe.. Don't be serious, it's still under warranty. Now, I'm using my new Aztech DSL-308er and I really like its white color. I bought it for rm170 at Digital Wise but nothing to be happy if you are downloading torrent at less than 10kbps with your new modem! Don't worry, I will show you how to Port Forward DSL-308ER. This is how I did to speed up my Utorrent.

1. Firstly, open up your browser and go to http://192.168.1.1. You will then log in with Login:admin and Password:admin. Go to Configuration>>Security and you will see something just like screenshot below. Click the Advanced NAT Configuration under the Security Interface.

2. Enter down your internal IP address. Don't know what your Internal IP address is? You can find your Internal IP by going to Start>>Run on your pc and type cmd and open up the command prompt windows. Then type ipconfig and hit enter and you'll see your IP.

Select tcp for the type of transport. Enter your Internal and External port range and leave the global Ip as 0.0.0.0. Better ports are above 10000. Here, I am using port 40208.

3. You will add another reserved mapping for udp in the same way as above.

You should see something like below after those configurations.

4. Now you have to enable the NAT. Go to Configuration>>Wan Connections and edit the Wan Service. Don't forget to save the configuration you have made and restart your modem.

5. You already done with modem configuration. Now you have to set the listening port in Utorrent with the port you have chosen on your modem configuration. Go to Options>>Preferences>>Connection and enter the port then click apply. I'm using port 40208 as you can see below.
6. You can check whether your port has forwarded or not. In Utorrent, go to Options>>Speed Guide and click on the test button.

Turn off your firewall if you still experienced slow downloading speed. Support torrent! Drop me a comment if this is helpful to you.

It was not secure enough for just having an updated anti virus installed on your PC. It was strange when my default homepage(Normally yahoo.com) in IE suddenly changed to http://www.savewealth.com. Also, the task manager set to disable and i couldn't get myself into "regedit" too. Unless, i have my antispyware+removal installed. All the manners solved after I performed the Ad-aware SE scan. The program is free for download and no limitation of usage. Try it.
