A Complete Portfolio of Forex, Precious Metals and Equities.
Greetings,
If some of you like reading about some other traders apparently never ending journey at trading profitably, then check in from time-to-time to see just how I'm doing. . .You are welcome.
I'm 49 years old married for 21 decades and live in Denver, Colorado. I live a modest lifestyle and believe in paying money for everything, long before Dave Rey had his show on Fox Business. I'm a car enthusiast and love to detail outside my Hummer H2. If a person came to me a stated would you like to have this Maserati...I'd say okay. . .then sell it for the money (to drop in trading #9786;-RRB- and maintain my Hummer. I do not need a different car for the very first time in my life.
I upgrade this hyperlink below, often. The portfolio is my effort at diversifiion, with a focus on Forex. I use the hyperlink below as it's far easier to upgrade 1 place and post it on different places. I expect that it is fine.
Why am I posting this? Well hopefully for your comments, criticism's and to discuss your experience. I like to post from these Forum's and that I like traders. Trading is my life's work, eventhough I can't say I've defeated it. . .actually far from it. I have the passion for trading and also have delt with my denial. . .and my gambling...I'm human. I thought I wanted to trade OPM, but I have reasoned that this isn't for me...I've realized that I should learn to trade my own money successfully. . .and I'm not the celebrity that is required to make others money professionally and have absolutley nothing to offer you. One requires talent to become anothers money investing machine or adviser. . .this I'm not.
I'm always seaching for new MA's, EA's, MF's and Equities to add to the portfolio, but that I move gradually. I have a comment tab that I post to with each upgrade.
To date I have not done well and have endured a 43 percent drawdown. I'm focusing on controlling the drawdown and the candidates with this portfolio has to demone that. I favor lower drawdown vs. greater yield. . .silly I know. . .but I must live and find a place where I could park my money for retirement when working at my full time job and make a better yield than the usual CD.
Hopefully, this thread is going to be the start for me to earn some money. . .but I realize that within my lifetime of trading I can not gain back what I've lost in money and time. This ribbon is for the fire...
