Hi. I have just registered with BabyPips and would like to introduce myself.
My name is Adam and I traded spot FX for a major US investment bank in London for 15 years (1990 - 2005).
I traded all the major FX books before specialising in USD/DMK (yes, there were currencies before the EURO!)
These were the heady days of interbank trading and money brokers (voice) before electronic broking took over customers gained direct access to the interbank market and the fun stopped.
I eventually became Chief Dealer of the Spot Desk before retiring and taking a long sabbatical from the markets.
Now, fully refreshed, I am about to start trading again from the ‘other side of the fence’ as a day trader.
The markets have changed significantly since I last raised a phone in anger and so I have joined BabyPips to touch base with like-minded traders and swap information and advice.
I would describe my new trading style as a short-term, intra-day jobber, using technical analysis (candlesticks, trend lines, patterns, RSI, Stochastic, Fibonacci) and a healthy dose of gut feel, based on my previous experience in the City.
I look forward to developing a network of mutually beneficial contacts within BabyPips and welcome comments and questions from other members.
Good luck to all!
Adam
