Inaugaral Post

I decided to give blogging a try, because I have searched the world over for the Holy Grail of trading. Of course, it doesn't exist. I have read many books, bought systems, downloaded pdfs, and I still don't feel like I'm ready to trade.

Mostly is because I want to have a system that works. I have decided to try the Forex, because it's open 24/5. But there are many things I have learned about Forex, which is why I started this blog. I wish someone had told me these things, as it would have saved me headache and worry. I hope someone will find this useful.

I am a programmer by trade, so having a mechanical system really appeals to me. I haven't found software for backtesting that does what I want, and is reliable... so I have, on ocassion, written my own (although very specific for a strategy).

As I write this blog, while I have been reading and making little trades for about 9 years, I have yet to make any real money. I'm talking about not having to worry about a job kind of money. That's my goal. I have a 7 month old son that I want to spend more time with.
