I have no background that would indicate me being a trader. I majored in English. I'm a fireman by trade. Yet, somehow, in late 2004 I started trading gold mining stocks. I then read John J. Murphy's book on technical analysis, and by 2005 I was trading options. Shortly thereafter, Forex. I'm happy that I'm still in the game after all these years, and am trying to use every trading day as an oppurtunity to 1.) learn, and 2.) prosper. Learning Elliot Wave principle and Connie Brown's book on Fibonacci Analysis was a game-changer for me. Hopefully, I'll still be around in 10 years so I can update this profile again.
