Platform Traded: TD Ameritrade FX (I choose to trade TDA as it provides a dual platform for Options and FX)
Personal Trading Background: Options/FX trader since 1999
Nickname: Cheetah - my Father gave me this nickname, related to patience.
Posting most current trades for 3 reasons:
1) To demonstrate successful trading in FX is indeed possible with proper risk management. This business is very easy to give up on, or lose hope. My encouragement to all traders is stick with it, manage your risk, trade demo if needed. When mastered, trading is a very rewarding skill - however must be individually learned, and the learning is most certainly painful.
2) To answer any questions. I'm doing today what someone once did for me - selfless mentorship. My schedule is busy with family etc, however I will try to respond as my schedule permits.
3) I plan to post my trades - to allow anyone interested to follow along. Showing is a great way to learn, from my own experience.
**A few notes:
- I trade Options as well. FX is a part of my overall portfolio. Jan to March this year I traded very light in FX, and have since added funds as trends improve.
- Recently I withdrew $12,500 for an annual family vacation. Personally I find joy in rewarding myself with trips paid by trading profit.
- Currently trading $40k in FX and should grow back to $52k prior to the end of Q3 - no expectations, will simply let the math play out.
- Each trade I risk 1 to 1.5% of overall account and aim for 3 to 10% per trade. Occasionally a runaway trade will bless with greater profits.
