Hi all. My name is Dick Tolar and as you can tell by the header I live in Michigan. I was an active futures trader up until April 3, 2002. I picked the id of "rtsurvivor" because I survived a ruptured brain aneurysm on that date. It's sort of like trading the forex. If everything isn't just right you could be dead in the a short while. :sneaky:

Luck was with me that day and every thing fell into place. I've spent 4 of the past 6 1/2 years fighting my way back to a somewhat "Normal" life. :rolleyes:

A ruptured aneurysm is a weak spot in an artery that bursts. It's sort of like having your brain hanked out and run thru a mix-master and then poured back into your head. :cry:

And, as expected, not everything gets put back in the right niche. :mad:

I traded my own futures account for about 20 or so years and did quite well. That all came to a sudden halt when the bubble in my brain blew.

I tried to get back to futures trading but there seems to be a mental challenge in that department. For what ever reason I don't seem to have any problems coping with FOREX charts.

I am a devoted "Price Pattern" trader. I wrote a book about how to trade price patterns in the mini-futures market about 10 or so years ago. It turns out that those patterns work very will in the FOREX markets too.

I keep a blog on Brain Aneurysms:
1... My "Brain Blog"

I don't get to it as often as I'd like.

Anyhow, it's nice meeting everyone here.

RT... :cool:
 
Hi Dick! What an amazing testimony you have! You are truly a survivor. I am originally from Grand Rapids, MI but I live in Indianapolis, IN and have been for over 8 years now. I will be sure to check out your Brain Blog as I am a new Forex trader and I have done more successful paper trades than unsuccessful paper trades. I want to build my confidence a little more and I want to start trading live. It would really help if I had somoeone that could give me some good quality one on one coaching. I am hoping to meet some excellent forex traders here on t2w because I need to make some serious money rather quickly and I am willing to work hard. I really need to make money now to take care of some urgent matters but enough about me and my challenges. Have a great rest of the day!
