Dipping my toes into the water

Posted by: Milton In: Directional

I’ve been a bit unwell recently and spent some time in the hospital with a nasty staph infection. I’m on the mend now though I’ve got a fair bit of time spent sitting at home in bed.

I received a message on twitter from one of the people involved in Currensee.com saying if I get back into proper trading then I should get in touch to checkout their site. While their site looks good I don’t really have enough time to trade properly so I’ll have to pass on it for now. What it did do though is convince me that I should really log back into Oanda and have a look at the markets.

I’ve logged in (it’s been so long I had actually forgotten my password!) and have put on a few miniscule trades with some success. All short term trades and I’ve been using Heiken Ashi charts to try to guage when pullbacks were weakening and it was time to jump in. I haven’t quite made a million dollars yet though they seem to be working nicely for the most part.

I’ll probably slow down again when I get back to work though it’s been enjoyable.

Hi Milton. Great to hear you are dipping your toes back into the Forex water. It can certainly feel daunting when you don’t have enough time to give to watching the markets and your trades. If you do decide you want to keep your toes in the water and meet other Forex traders like you, we’d love to have you join Currensee.

About FOREX Howto

Forex Howto is a site that I setup some years ago, I neglected it for a couple of years and now it's back online.

It will have my progress as I explore the world of Forex trading and my experiences in trying to profit from it.

If you need to contact me, just leave a message on any of my posts and I'll be sure to read it.

About me: I'm a 31 year old aussie living in Sydney, Australia.

I work as a programmer and hope to someday use my programming skills and growing knowledge of FOREX and markets in general to run live automated trading systems (all going well they'll be profitable).

A couple of pages which might be of interest to new traders:
