Hello everybody!
First off, I would like to introduce myself. I am 39 years old and a father of two children (3 & 5). I am pursuing alternate means of income due to my limited retirement funding. As I am moving up in years, survival at an older age becomes more of a worry as I'm sure many of you will agree with. I traded sporadically quite a while ago but quit due to lack of capital. My knowledge of technical trading isn't too bad, altho I am learning more every day (thanks to this site I might add).
The purpose of this journal is keep track of my progress in FX trading with the aim of 'keeping me honest'. I feel that exposing my trading on these forums will force me to live up to a higher standard (I don't want to look like a goof altho I'm sure that is somewhere in my future hehehe).
I have been considering a number of methods and have nailed down a long-term 'investment' style that I manually backtested on a bunch of pairs over the last couple of days. I am also looking at a few shorter term (daily) types to keep me active and learning. Not sure what yet but will probably make my decision next week.
I hope everybody is having a fantastic holiday (for those who get one) and Merry Christmas to ALL!!!
