I started trading in Stocks and Commodities market back in 2002. I learned from Ken Roberts and his company. Like most new traders I made and lost money. I found the Forex market in the first part of 2004 and attempted to apply what I knew as far as technical trading to the Forex. I continued to make and lose and not really make any head way. In the spring of 2005 I found and read "Trading in the Zone" by Mark Douglas. That book changed my thinking completely and gave me the mental tools I needed. Around the same time I attempted to make a forecasting software work. I struggled with this software for 18 months and finally give it up due to inconsistent results. Two months later I found a fantastic Forex trading school. This was the turning point in my trading career I was waiting for. I needed to learn from a live trader who was a successful trader. I attended and learned from the Forex Trading School for 2 years. I am now trading full time using the skills I learned from the school and working every month to make consistent profits and loving every minute of it!

- Favorite Trading Tip
- Sometimes the system will give you signals to trade in ways that are completely contrary to your logic and reasoning. Sometimes the system will defy your reasoning and be right, and sometimes you will agree with the system and it will be wrong. You need to understand that technical trading systems are not designed to be outguessed. Systems aren't designed to give you isolated signals of an opportunity to be taken when it seems right. What they do is mathematically define, quantify, and categorize past relationships in collective human behavior to give you a statistically probable outcome of the future."
