Normality. You may not like this behavior…

Many, many years ago, when I first used a PC to build my first trading system, I tested about a hundred pairs of exponential moving averages for the ten most important world indices.

After verifying their efficiency, I moved on to the next step : the real-time simulation of buy and sell signals, etc., in a systematic way.

This kind of behavior (which some people may not like) reflects my character and my way of doing things in everyday life.
In short, this is my “normal” way of being.

On the other hand, for the vast majority of Italians (of course there are exceptions), the culture of eternal complication is always present ; a more “romantic” culture, but much less “pragmatic”.

Many are divided within themselves and always at the mercy of themselves.
Sometimes they are ironic, sometimes thoughtful, and sometimes they drip hypocrisy from every pore.

We’re light-years apart, and what’s more, we travel on two parallel lines that can apparently never meet.

That is why we have never been able to get along.
