Hello there fellow friends and Forex Factory members,
After some time here now I have decided to create for myself a trading journal in where I can post my real-time live trades as documentation for future reference.
Before I get into all of this however, I would like to say a bit about me and my story thus far. I began trading the FX market nearly 4 years ago at 15 years old in demo accounts by tinkering about with all kinds of strategies I could find online through forums, and through people I met who shared a passion for trading.
Since then I have learnt a lot and developed my own trading strategy to best fit me.
I am thankful to everybody I have met along the way and whom I have been able to share trading stories with.
As of the moment, I am about to turn 19 and have decided to leave my tertiary studies in the pursuit of making a career in finance through being successful in trading.
My goal if successful this year in my trading and building up a positive track record here, is to set up and establish my own Hedge Fund, 'QuantFX'.
The meaning behind this name simply stands for 'Quantitative Foreign Exchange Trading'. When it comes to trading, I myself employ a contrarian approach not found in any other traders I have come across. Some of these attributes include, not doing any of my own analysis based on actual price before making a trading decision. As well, I do not decide which direction I wish to enter a trade.
Instead, I leave such decision making up to an algorithm mechanism which detects particular inputs and if these requirements are met will then give a specified output result in placing trades accordingly. This is also known as 'Blackbox' trading. This approach in finance has become more popular in recent years across a range of global financial markets, and has given rise to a number of what are known as 'quant funds'. After reading about such funds and how successful they were I began to become fascinated about them and worked towards finding a way I could make such methods work for me in my FX trading.
This will be my first year of live documentation with my unique method, and I hope to be able to be posting many successful trades for this year in my posts to come.
I will also be attaching a Live Trade Explorer to this thread so that my results can be tracked in a clear and transparent way.
I believe the key to success in trading is a structured trading plan alongside with a clearly defined Sharpe ratio.
Looking forward to the trading year, and many pips to all.
Kindest Regards,
Felix.
