Guys,
I see just a few sensible people write here, so rather than start of the usual bs that such a question would get elsewhere, just wonder a couple of things. I will tell you a bit about myself first so you may be inclined to answer.
I used to trade for myself in 1994-1997, mostly index futures and strategies. I had other business at the same time but got more and more into it. I did mostly simple moving average crossovers and a lot of feel trades (seriously), also a lot of next month index option writing, combined with futures. Went from $50k to over $2.4m and then in Oct '97 dropped $500k, so took my money off fast and put in other business's.
Now I come back and now of course there are many forums, a lot of crap and weird people. I see you guys are insightful and helpful so wished to ask a couple of questions.
1. Is it mostly or only FX you trade
2. What are good platforms to trade on
3. What other software do you use
4. Do you trade full-time
5. How much % do you aim for per year
6. Any other good resources you would recommend
Appreciate any pointers and assistance and hopefully I can contribute along my way too.
I am genuine and sell nothing and just eager to catch up. I also realise my style of trading before was appropriate for that time and may not translate 15 years on so well and wish to arm myself and be open to other thoughts.
Many thanks
