South Africans

Hey Traderlin drop me a line at faure1 @ gmail . com and I'll be glad to help a fellow Saffa.

Hi linda

Is Windhoek close enough?
I trade GBP/USD spot. Starting to show some profits after 2 years.

Hi there Mike,

Lovely to hear from you.

I am trading the Russel emini. I have been simming for about 20 months. Got a very small account, so have been very cautious. My first account was wiped out, mainly due to electronic problems. But sorted that out now.

I have found a system that I am happy with and am perfecting it. Will be going live probably next week.

Are you a system trader? What time of the day do you trade?

Regards,

Linda

As I mentioned, after two years, I am profitable. I started from scratch, learnt through trial and error. I use only technical analysis, and I trade the European and US sessions.

I've been wiped out on demo accounts numerous times - cant even count anymore. It was a big change to go live the first time. What I've discovered is, that you do not need a big account to start with. You only need to stick to your strategy no matter what. Things stay same when you trade live. It is just your emotions that goes haywire when you initially start to trade with your own money.

Once your emotions are under control things become a whole lot easier. Brett Steenbarger's website helped me a lot.

Good luck, and never give up - success will come, just keep on knocking.

Interesting. Do you trade full time?

I am a fixed income trader at a local broker. I trade cable for my own account - more or less two years now. I am starting to get it right more then I get it wrong now. There is still a long way to go, but at least my account is in the green.
