nice nice bull usd now .......easy scalping on usd pairs when offered
 
3 geeks are hired to refit the security and alarm systems in a large shopping Mall

after a few days they are real real bored so decide to have some fun using the systems they have installed

they agree to take bets on who can predict the most footfall through the main entrance area to the mall .......(I said they were geeks)

after 5 days of running the data using the new systems fitted - they were all ready to make their bets for the following day

the night before they all opened their predictions.......

Geek 1 - based on my datasets produced i have deduced that the peak time will be between 11.45am and Mid-day ..i wish to bet on that 15 minute period

Geek 2 - based on my datasets produced i have deduced that the peak time will be between 3.45pm and 4pm ..i wish to bet on that 15 minute period

Geek 3 - its very obvious to me that the peak time tomorrow will be between 11am and 11.15 am ......i'll take that 15 minute period

the next day Geek 3 was the winner by a landslide.............why ?
 
because at 11am the next day they had a fire alarm drill and all were evacuated from the shopping mall

and the moral of this story ? ...............well you figure it out :)
