Hi everyone! I’m Bob, an American, born and raised in Chicago, now living in Funabashi, Chiba Prefecture, Japan. (Why Japan? It’s a long story that sometimes even I don’t understand.) Funabashi is right at the upper tip of Tokyo Bay about 20 minutes from the eastern edge of Tokyo by train. I’ve been teaching English as a 2nd/Foreign Language here for the last 25 years. I’ve been trading FX part-time for around 3 years now, and recently have been edging closer to trading full-time. I’ve been hanging out at FF a while and have learned a lot from some very kind and generous traders there. I come to these forums mostly as a way to interact with like-minded people and to keep up with what’s happening in the Forex trading community. Where I live there are no other traders, of any kind. I’m pretty much on my own. Anyway, I hope to make some friends here and maybe I can be of some help to someone. Good trading to you all.
