Words cannot explain the gratitude I have and the luck to have stumbled upon his book. I do not know why he is doing this, but I suppose when one has reached a certain point in life, they tend to give back to society. The sharing of his Forex methods is evident of that! - Paul C I have been trading for about 17 years, the last two in Forex. I read books on trading regularly. Many of the systems and advice are repetitious. This book was completely different than the other ones I had read in the past. Before buying this book, I was impressed with all the verified positive reviews it had received. I decided to give it a shot and made the purchase. I am so glad I did. Not only does the author provide you with a simple, straight-forward system, he also provides you with his own indicators. The combination of education and indicators made the purchase a bargain. I use his system along with price action using supply/demand zones and daily pivot levels. I have grown my account 2% in 3 days using his system. His indicators do not repaint and are highly accurate. In addition, if you have any issues or questions regarding the system, he is very quick to respond. This system will help both beginners and experienced traders.

     This is the life story of an actress, a beautiful redheaded actress who lived and played in a glittering era now gone but fondly remembered.

    Faced with the prospects of a career-defining role and mentorship by a cinematic great, the 24-year-old Hollywood actor arrived in London armed with a large-format Roliflex camera-inspired by Kubrick's early career as a "Look "photographer-and a notebook to record his own on-set reportage; preparation for his starring role as a Marine Corps journalist. But expectations eroded as a strange, creeping sickness pervaded the set, a horrific accident sidelined a principal, and an unexpected rivalry arose with a co-star. And as the months dragged on, take-by-take, Modine realized he was falling victim to a manipulative mind-game of the Grand Master himself. By the time his tour of duty ended a year and a half later, Modine had shot hundreds of photos and written countless entries. Only now-after two decades and the death of Kubrick-can Modine look back on his images and words. The result-a coming-of-age drama set against the backdrop of a seminal Vietnam saga. A book like no other, Stanley Kubrick would have been the first in line to buy "Full Metal Jacket Diary."

Now, after years of researching and compiling interviews with family members, friends, and colleagues; rare photographs; and illustrative material, Hollywood writer Dwayne Epstein provides a full understanding and appreciation of this acting titan’s place in the Hollywood pantheon in spite of his very real and human struggles.
