Hello All, My story is perhaps kind of different, i started trading with a broker and in the first 2 months, i made 45K on an initial investment of 8K...unfortunately for me, before i could withdraw one cent, i had a few trades open which were going south, but my broker remained optimistic..needles to say, optimism totally misplaced. I lost it all...every cent and have not recovered. I see the potential however, but i need to learn this business and so i hope that by being part of this forum, i will be able to understand better what on earth happened and how i can ensure that it doesn't happen like that again. Hope to hear/read your various tid bits.
Dear Kross,
You said that you made 45K on an initial investment of 8K within 2 months. You are super hero and I would advise you to forget your loss and join the World Cup Trading Championships. Please mention my name when you are at stage.
World Cup Trading Championships
All best wishes.

Mike,
Nice intro, thanks. I've read several pages of intros and there seems to be a lot of challenges for everyone, I'm no exception, but life is being good to me right now and I'm hoping to learn and grow. I've only dabbled, lost about $2k total in various investments, I'm really having trouble buying into software or training right now, figured I'd get more out of it by learning here and using that money to invest rather than buy something than may not teach me anything new.
I'm excited to meet some kindred spirits with knowledge to share that will put up with my, probably really dumb, questions.
Thanks and hi everyone. Also, Happy New Year.
Welcome

Hello All,
I am a developing trader concentrating on the Forex asset class at the moment. I'm focusing on a trading plan that accommodates my full time work schedule aside from trading. I currently interpret the market via where I believe the money is (orders), where liquidity can be absorbed by Institutional entities / Market Makers, where value is perceived via the auction process, the liquidity provider activity inside the spread, and the
price action around these areas.
I began the journey in 1991 with a paper trade in hogs (literally ordered paper chart books by mail and updated by hand) for $800 profit, and then I was hooked...I went the gambit of trading courses(Ken Roberts, Joe Ross, to many to remember...), thousands of dollars in books. I went through several accounts trading using Super Charts 3.0 and forging through every indicator I could only to come so close but never seeing. Went through the 1990's frustration of trying to keep up with the constant cycle of trading tool obsoleting/innovation ... In time I was able to gain more clarity and understanding in self-development and less tool development. I believe success will be based on consistency over accuracy, risk management over
expectancy , and discipline to follow a plan. The greatest value I have taken from this journey so far is how these principles are universal and come down to basic truths that govern all relationships in and out of trading.
Cheers!
Can relate to your experience. Got the adredeline going with hogs also when first starting.
