Back then, I was following what I’d call a “keep your fingers crossed” strategy. I did not understand what was behind the currency price movements. It boiled down to placing the trades, then sitting at the edge of the chair hoping that my open trades would yield a profit.

I “graduated” from that strategy and moved to sourcing signals from others. This was not a helpful strategy either – as I still did not know what I was doing. I depended on my signals’ “guy” to tell me when it was time to close the trades.

Needless to say, I lost money repeatedly – until I resolved to learning more about the markets, craft a strategy from what I learned, and apply it repetitively. It has been a journey of toil and sweat, but it paid off and allowed me to trade the markets with very little stress. It explains why I now have time for my family and hobbies. I do not spend most of my waking time watching the charts, as I now have a strategy and a system that I follow.
It is this same strategy and system that I have been helping others to learn and implement. I do not have a fancy boardroom with which to impress. I train all my students online, through one on one sessions
(at their most convenient times).
