This guide will walk you through the steps on how to setup a VirtualBox shared folder inside your Ubuntu Server guest.

You could still make this guide work with other setups (possibly with some modifications to the commands and whatnot).

  2. During installation, make sure to select the "Install third-party software for graphics and Wi-Fi hardware and addition media formats" in "Updates and other software" screen.

The Scalping Handbook

The Scalping Handbook

Rule 1: Follow the trend

  • in an upward trending market, bullish TA works and bearish TA fails.
  • in a downward trending market, bearish TA works and bullish TA fails.

To determine the trend, use moving averages, channel S/R, and price highs/lows.

A good starter to determine trend is to use the 200ma. You need to see higher highs and higher lows, even on your trade timeframe. For example, if there are higher highs on the 1h and 1d, but on the 1m you're seeing lower highs, don't trade until you do see at least one.

Auto-starting VirtualBox VMs on OS X

Auto-starting VirtualBox VMs on OS X

After finding a lot of other posts on the topic that didn't work out for me this one did the trick so I'm reposting for my own sense of self preservation.

Link to original article.

Copy the Virtualbox autostart plist template file to your system's LaunchDaemons folder.

sudo cp \

/Applications/VirtualBox.app/Contents/MacOS/org.virtualbox.vboxautostart.plist \
