A Newbie with 18 months trading experience. Like most traders I had a rocky start with a lot of quick - possibly too quick - successes, where I learned that making money is easy, but retaining it is hard! I made a conscious decision to change my trading style in February 2012 and this seems to be paying off. I offer thanks to Gerald Sharpe at Solomonfx who has offered advice and assistance, which coincidentally under pinned my change in trading style and reinforced that I am on the right track.
