    40k and Forex
    "BURN THE HERETIC! KILL THE MUTANT! PURGE THE UNCLEAN!" – motto and battle cry of the Imperium of Mankind, Warhammer 40k

    As a forewarning, I do not advocate any sort of bigotry or racism or anything of that sort. I merely enjoy using the Imperium's war cry as a personal quote, since I enjoy playing the game when I'm not busy in the wretched hive of scum and villainy that is a forex blog  trader's market. Most people can't quite reconcile how I can enjoy trading foreign currencies while also finding pleasure in commanding armies of painted figures on a make-believe battlefield against other armies.

    For those who are curious, I prefer to play the Imperial Guard, but I have a Space Marine (Blood Angels!) army in backup. I used to do Orks, but after a while, I came to gravitate to the Imperium's brand of insanity, as opposed to the brands of insanity shown by the rest of the 40k universe.

    Being a foreign currency trader and playing 40k aren't all that different, as hard as that might be to believe. The reality is that both of them involve a lot of numbers, a lot of quick thinking, a lot of analysis, and a lot of luck. The only real difference, to me, is that one involves rolling a lot of dice and the other involves moving a lot of money that may or may not be yours. Plus, there's something very relaxing about yelling when I win these games, no?
