Hello All,
My name is Ashley and I've been trading for a couple of years now. My early years were spent doing the usual jumping from system to system. My first Forex years were spent in Singapore where they are absolutley Forex mad and spent a lot of money on bad systems and bad education (though I worked out pretty quick that anyone that runs a Forex Workshop only on weekends when the markets aren't open is definately hiding something
).
Over time I realised price action was where it's all at. I'm now back living in Australia and now trade a long term price action strategy which does OK but there is a lot of time spent waiting for things to play out - sometimes even weeks.
I bought Bob Volmans 1st book early on in my Forex journey but I remember thinking at the time after trying to read it that it seemed way too complicated - so I quickly jumped onto the next "best" system to make my millions.
While going through my old Forex books the other day and found it again so started reading once more and now, with a bit of experience and knowledge behind me it all makes perfect sense. I'm nearly through the book now and have ordered Bob's second book as well but I will start trading this short term method starting January.
Don't know if I'll spring for NinjaTrader just yet - I have an account with IG Markets which includes access to ProRealTime charts which seem to be good for tick charts - even Bob used them for his screenshots in his book.
Hoping to take this journey with other people here - it certainly helps when you have other people to converse with and bounce ideas off.
Looking forward to taking the journey together
Ashley.
