I started trading 10 months ago, it’s been a steep learning curve, I started with a bank of £2000, at the moment i’m up by around 12.5%.
I do use a system to trade and this helps spot the trades, I then use my own judgement to pull the trigger or not.
however using a system is not the holy grail and additionally I’ve read, followed, taken advantage of free bits of info (always use a dud email account to take the bombardment of of follow up emails offering me some amazing system).
I hail from the South Wales Valley’s, but also reside in Spain at times.
I trade 24 core currencies with an additional 13 that are higher risk.
My advice keep your losses small, move your SL regularly, target your TP and take profit when you hit the target, If it’s over the intended target price, happy.
Trade well and sleep well, it;s never over till the SL triggers.

Hi and welcome 
Thanks, hopefully I can contribute to the forum, I’m now beginning to feel more confident in my trades and although i’m not a technical trader in the purest sense, and my style is trading with trend and a swing trader.
To show the high and lows lost out last night GBP/NZD some wild swing on the Asian market, this morning GBP/CAD came in for me above my target price.
4 trades still in play EUR/CHF sell, GBP/CHF sell, USD/JPY sell, NZD/USD buy.
My hit rate is around 62%, so 2 in 3 trades come good usually.
Great results keep it up
