Hey Brendan,
Nice to hear from you.
Where do you live? It's so lekker making contacts with SA traders.
I have been sim trading the ES and Russell for about 1y 8mths, just starting to go live now. Very happy with the system I am using. Would like to start trading Euro FX.
How's your trading going?
Regards,
Linda

Hi Saiyan
Lovely to hear from you. I
I have been simming for the past 1y 8mths, finally happy with the system I am using and will go live in new year. Very interested in trading the EuroFX, but currently trading the Russell. Day trading.
If you have any tips for me (still a novice, wanting to learn as much as possible) would be great, and I am willing to share the system I am using if you are interested.
Regard,
Linda

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.

Hi all
Tradeboet, did you call your child Swakopmund or Namibia? Just checking....
Seems alot of the Saffa's and ex-pats are trading Forex. Wonder why that is? Just curious.
Take care

lol Hi,
i think its just perception that many saffas and expats trade forex - there's 45 million south africans and i know max 10 that trade or have traded forex. also we were in isolation for many years so it might seem like everyone is now grabbing the opportunity to try it.

i have learnt one lesson - NEVER SPECULATE let the market do what it will, just follow it. as soon as i speculate about the market i start to get ideas of where the market should and shouldn't go and then i find myself not following the system.
so the answer is: I dont know.
I have a rule to give myself a day off on the first friday of each month-dont trade NFP. today there is almost no wind at bloubergstrand so i will take the wife and kid and have a few beers on the beach in about an hour and a half! need to get lunch over at the office before i can leave.
