    Default 4years by this month Dec

    I started in Dec 2005, by mid 2006 I lost and gave my life to christ became born again, and prayed that the Lord should showed me an alternative way to trade.

    That journey took me from 2006 to few months back. I developed my own choas theory based on Biblical principles. This is the only chaos method that have a crack on what people think is complex and not solvable. No mathematics or complex equation involved.

    I no longer use any indicator or consider them necessary except CCI which I have adopted for only timing the start and end of market cycle nothng esle.

    I've been criticised, abused, mock and laughed at because I claim to derived my knowledge from the Bible but that is the method I have devoted my life to in this last three years - but I don't mind anyone anymore as I only laughed at people these days as well.

    I have training course on detecting chaos in the financial markets and only recently - in October 2009, that I discovered zulutrade. Believe me from my own trading objective, it is the best idea available for anyone without money to become rich - I won't say millinnaire over night but earn decent income more than you earn right now.

    If you can open a zulutrade account you can also be signal provider servicing 100s-1000s of people with genuine service by standing in the gap for other people that are not so priviledge like us.

    This is the next level I am taking my training course is to help students make their training fees back by standing in the gap for them to use my trade recommendations to attract followers of zulutrade from day one through our smart partnership. I don't see reason why anyone should be depending on others for signals, unless the person of cause is not a trader.

    While I do have some experience in other areas, I believe some of you have more experience with zulutrade than me. I have gain some tips by reading posts of Mike, ubtex, DickP and many of the regulars on zulutrade.

    Immediately I found this site and saw the level of intelligence and passion for zulutrade I stopped searching other forums. In few other forums people only complained about bad signal providers who ruined them.
    Who are these bad signals provider? they are people like you and me with no more knowledge than you if you try to be a signal provider.

    I think we can walk together to make this site great and hub for zulutraders and other signal services.
    cheers

    Thumbs up

    Put my first trade on in June 2008. I took the OTA Academy in Norwood Boston. More than well worth the money spent. I wouldn't have made it this long without the formal teachings of them.

    Hey Guys, I've been trading for 4-5 yrs can't quite remember exactly when i started. Did the demo thing at first, doubled, tripled a number of demo's and thought i was invincible. So off i went trading live and found out that things were going to be tougher then first thought. Later I blew half my 20k account and ran for the hills to find a dark place to hide. After taking some time away from it all and just about quiting, i picked myself up and started to look what went wrong and find the lessons that needed to be learned from the experience.

    After becoming i'll from MS and some more time away from the charts, i jumped back on the horse and i am now getting closer to going live again. Hmmm......this is kinda getting long. So long story short i have been on and off for sometime going from system to system, indi to indi and feel really good about trading now....

    Sometimes I ask myself how could somebody blow a 20K account?
    I can never grasp the thought.
    20K is a lot of money. Unless you are trading multiple standard lots, I do not see how to blow that up.
    Then again, it happens.
    I have been trading for over 7 years.

    Forex Trading, like most things, is a means to an end.

    The end being wealth.

    I use Forex as a way to compound my capital. If done in the right way Forex Trading can be profitable, safe, and stress free. I say again done in the right way.

    As many others have said, there is no get rich quick way of trading Forex. Get rich slowly, yes, quite possible with the right system.

    Robert.

    Hi forexlady,

    I blew 10k of my 20k account and had i not stopped i most likely would of thrown the other half away. And yes trading multiple standard lots and emotions were the to big ingredients in the death of that 10k. It was a expensive lesson, but still something that i think i had to go through to get where i am now....I guess if i want it bad enough and i learn from my mistakes i will get there eventually, we all have to learn how to crawl before we walk and walk before we run!! So i see every mistake as one step closer to getting it right.

    Peace

    Hi Mike
    I have been trading for nearly two years now and playing poker for almost 10 years.I find them pretty much on the same par,knowing when to pull the trigger and going all in.I keep everything simple on my charts and just use Price Action.
    This is the first time i have posted in a forum which i find harder than trading but i enjoy the reading.
    All the best to all traders......simjas
