Hello there,
I've been a FX trader since a few years now (was a gold trader initially, time flies really, still seems like yesterday), working for an investment advice & fund management firm and also manage some clients FX accounts.
As most of us, I have learned my way around the Forex market the hard way, enjoying what happens when you're too greedy and often too naive.
I've had the - mostly through my job - opportunity to find the necessary education & experience.
As of late, I've been optimizing my personal trading system, and have made some adjustments to how to enter the market in order to cope with the feeling "now seems really to moment to jump in" - that most of us will know often leads to severe dissapointment.
It has proven successful so far, as I have applied it to one of clients, where I have slowly but steadily build up an 80 pct profit over the last five months.
Unfortunately, adding account statements from my client would be unethical, so I have decided to start again with my proper savings (and a little support from my firm that is willing to back the expiriment)
For that, I've taken $1,000 and deposited on an Oanda account, and will just do my thing.
My main goal is to "just see where this goes", as i'm hating all those fancy "i've found the holy grail-system"-kinda threads.
I still make losing trades, but have learned to some extent (still fine tuning myself) to manage them.
I will post daily updates on how the account evolves. Once in a while, I will post account statements, and they can at all times be requested by sending me a PM.
Perhaps a final word on my system (although more about it will become apparent as the journal kicks off); I'm firmly believing in the saying "the FX market is a thing that tries to damage as much participants as possible in the shortest possible time". As such, I'm trying to minimize my "exposure" in this dangerous environment.
Hope that you guys enjoy my input!
Lily
