Hi,
My story may sound familar to anyone with software development background.
I’m an experienced software engineer with 20+ years in the market, mostly trading my own products. Unemployeable since 2003, when I launched my first successful venture.
I came into the market with an idea of becoming a consistently profitable trader in few weeks, then develop some tools for personal use which may become great products over time. But I soon found that I can’t be a trader and a software developer at the same time. Trading is about earning screen time but I always missed every hour without coding.
I almost gave up, when I got support from active traders I met along the way. The solution was to focus on what I’m good at. Not trying to become a trader but rather developing products for other traders. It seems like a failure but it was the answer for me personally.
I’m still at the beginning of the journey, my first product (Forex simulation software) isn’t perfect yet but it’s evolving really fast. I hope to make it the best product on the market in the next 3-6 months.
I came here to learn from successful traders, to help them make their work more effective, profitable and fun. It will be great to get any feedback: ideas, suggestions, feature requests and bug reports.
I can also help others who are following the same route. With my 20+ years in software business there is a lot to share.
