The closest I’ve ever got to Finance 101 was an Introduction to Accounting module in university. I only knew the sheets had to balance but I breezed through anyway with an A+ on my thesis to Knowledge Management: Accounting - which I really had no knowledge about.

Fast forward today, I miss the confines of my office, the platform to speak to strangers, the chatter with colleagues over lunch, the deadlines of a year-on plan and the frustrations of red tape akin to big organizations.

Sitting in front of my PC, I subscribe to CNBC Asia and Bloomberg for fundies and have an arsenal of S&Rs, Fibs, Japanese Candlesticks and weekly-daily trend for the techies.

I don’t profess to be a (cash rich) millionaire but this will be my journey with Forex as my utility vehicle.
