Hello all! Starting a thread is something I have been wanting to do for quite a while but my day job has required a lot of travel and has kept me away from trading for the better part of the last several years. My pursuit of becoming a full time trader has definitely taken longer than I have planned, but with retirement lurking around the corner, I trade every opportunity I get! I am going to have a lot more time on my hands with a lot less travel over the next several months, so I plan on documenting my trading and life in this journal.
I have been trading FOREX for about 6 years now and have gone through every trading style you could think of. How I trade now is using support and resistance and keep it pretty simple using no indicators, simply price action. I don't mind holding positions for a few days, as I do both intraday and swing trading. Primarily I trade EURUSD, GBPUSD, AUDUSD and USDJPY and venture out to other pairs every now and then as well as long as the price action is readable. I have been watching the YM and plan on switching over to the futures market in the near future. That's the plan at least.
