I was bored one day, so I played around with photoshop and made myself an iphone-icon style picture.


I can code EAs and some indicators...I also have black hair.

Ok, more serious stuff.

I placed my first demo trade when I was 14. I was bored in the freshman-mandatory learning center in school and had been trading those stock market simulators. The problem was that those stock market simulators were 20 mins delayed and I simply didn't like that. I needed more action. That's how I stumbled on the quicker pace of the forex market.

Fast forward three years: I had lost 3.1 billion in demo dollars gross, and had finally turned a profit. What saved me? I accelerated my education by using all sorts of trading simulators so I could trade on the weekends. And I guess that's what helped.

I placed my first live trade November 7, 2007. On GBPJPY, with $200. By November 20, 2007, I had turned that $200 into $20,000. All through an EA. I lost a good chunk of it the following week largely because of the thanksgiving holidays, and went back to $2000. It took me three months to get back to $20,000, and I've never fallen below that since.

Here's a tip for the newbies who are learning to trade.

Ignore all that hype for various systems. Remember--for now--this one fundamental rule: The exit is more important than the entry.

With that in mind, I want you to do the following on a demo account:

1) Toss a coin: Heads long, Tails short
2) Manage the trade as you see fit. If you think the trade is bad, exit.
3) When you exit a trade, go back to step 1.

If you can double your account in less than 50 flips, I consider you a good enough trader to go live. I personally average between 20 and 30 flips, and I do it once a week, on the weekends, trading simulated data.

Try it. It helps, LOADS.



Some of you have been asking how I trade, so I might as well put it here.

I trade with 37 different systems, 34 of which use an EA, and 32 of those EAs can be found here on ForexFactory. Those EAs are split into six categories:

- Trending
- Counter Trending
- Ranging
- Scalping
- Breakout
- News

I turn EAs on and off based on how I see the current market. It's that simple.
