Hya,
I am Jasper, 41 yrs old and from The Netherlands. I trade Forex for over three years now and am on the market 24/6. I started on Babypips, where I learned the basics. After a while I left Babypips as I had to develop my own opinion and system. Now I am returning to enjoy the community and help where I can.
I trade EURUSD M1 and H1 using MT4. I have self developed scripts and I like to keep on improving them. I call myself a pattern trader and not really a TA. I am familiar to TA, but I haven’t found a comfortable strategy that suits me. I stay away from news and scalping. I am close to the decision to trade fulltime (which is easy with scripts ;-)) and to devote more time on research and family.
I would love to have more active communication with active traders. I miss people around me that understand what I am doing and have been there themselves. You can always contact me to have a chat, a question or a thought to share. I will not respond to questions such as: “share your system with me”, “what is a pip?”, “Why did I miss my stop during a news event?”.
Big lessons for me were:
- Plan your trade and trade your plan
- I am always last to know, so why do I think I could make a profit on trading the news?
- Trading is easy, being trader is the challenge
- Hands off!
I will certainly enjoy all your posts and I hope that you are not too shy to drop me a note. My messenger will be on when I am awake, drop me a PM to get my messenger name.
Talk to you soon!
Jasper
