I will give it anyway, although I'm not sure if this can help anyone.
As many of you know, I have been trading FX since 2002. I have created and lost a lot, multiple occasions. 2009 was my very first, right up (No B.S.ing myself) profitable year. I started at Feb. 2009 with 5K, also finished in Dec. with 28k. It was a lot better before the Euro took a nasty dip in the end of Dec., but that is water under the bridge. 23k in profit for 1 year. I know that's not a massive amount by most traders standards... and even 2 years ago I would have scoffed at this paltry sum... but Mr. Market has since humbled me and my expectations. This is going to be a pivotal year for me. I have cashed in my profit and'm starting over with 5k. If I can put 2 profitable decades together, I might consider committing myself more exposure to the market. If I can't put together, after all this time, I must seriously consider that I just cannot trade the FX market profitably, over a long time horizion. I'm not a newbie, and this is nowhere close to my 1st rodeo. Sooner or later, I have to set up or shut up. I will do it or I can't. This season can answer those questions for me.
I'm swing trading Daily charts on multiple pairs-- any pair which has a fantastic daily tendency that I can swing commerce.
I'm writing to encourage traders. This game is tough.... I am really hard! Mr. Market does not care how smart you're, how hard you work, or how badly you want it. Sooner or later, Mr. Market will present his brutal ass to everybody... he is no respecter of persons. I have been at this for 7 decades and cannot say that I have it figured out. I hope for 2010 we can keep working and molding ourselves, and at the end of this calendar year we will be a little better at trading than when the season started. I need all traders the best for 2010 and beyond!!!!!
Kindest Wishes,
