Welcome to Hell's Lair, my new place for sharing charts.
My History
I'm nearing 40, and have 3 passions in live:
1) My 3 months old daughter. She's number 1, no questions asked
2) Programming. Yes, I'm a computer geek and proud of it.
2) Trading. Yes, I'm a trading addict and proud of it.
Two things on second place .. difficult choice. 7 years ago I quit my day job to become a full time trader, and after some initial mess ups I did quite well. But I missed programming, so I started writing my own trading platform (on top of Interactive Brokers TWS). That platform became quite large and powerful but also consumed a lot of my time, so I had to switch to trading the larger timeframes.
But these TF's are not as exciting, so now I'm in the process of selling the platform to a prop shop, and plan on starting a new venture that will hopefully allow me to combine taking care of my daughter whilst satisfying both other passions as well. A transition I hope to have completed in 2 months, at which time I will be posting charts of lower timeframes as well.
Current situation
I trade stocks using 2 local brokers, but my main trading accounts are with Interactive Brokers. I use these to trade forex & commodity futures, but as IB doesn't have nice charts I do most of my charting using MT4 demo accounts.
Future
As the demo accounts for MT4 charts are not really reliable, I'll be opening a real MT4 account somewhere soon. At that time, I will also activate a trade explorer following that account & showing my long term trades.
Important
What I will never do is post trade recomendations! I'll trade my charts, you'll trade yours!
Regards,
Hell7
