Hello Everyone!
I'm Josh, and I first got started day trading after randomly meeting an individual in my social media feed that flaunted the luxury and freedom he was living in, thanks to ForEx. Being young and entrepreneurial minded, I hopped straight into it without a second thought.
It wasn't until several months later that I became aware of the various conflicts of interest between the "guru", myself, the broker he introduced me to, and dealing desks that facilitate spot forex trading. I spent a lot of time researching and putting the pieces together. In fact, this "guru" has been recently charged by the CFTC for a fraudulent solicitation scheme.
Due to the high volume of demo users with over-leveraged trading accounts caught up chasing a dream lifestyle, the purpose of this thread is to simply journal as proof of my real, live, manual trades. I will be publishing my verified myfxbook account link in a few months. Also, I hope to help you learn more about the conflicts of interest, as I have.
(I will be updating this initial post soon, I want to provide more context as to who I am, my trading approach, etc. but I do not have the time today.)
