Introduction

I am not much of a Blogger perhaps I like to keep some things to myself; perhaps my thoughts are a tad off-center for the normal Joe to comprehend..or perhaps I am on a different orbit. Whatever the rate may be, this is my first ever Blog.

A little about me - I have traded different prop desks for National Australia Bank. If you think this Blog is established  to purely NAB-bash you are mistaken. They gave me the opportunity in  Financial Services and have traded and led desks in London, New York & Singapore. Mainly in prop FX hedge funds I am eternally grateful. I now run my own private fund for friends and family which will remain anonymous. If anyone is interested in joining the fund they are welcome to contact me direct and I will forward detailed information. I am not interested marketing my own fund, never will be - there is no monetary point - I don't depend on fees to make my money, got it? I have been a professional trader since 1995 so you do the math on how many trades, how many Bull Markets, Bubbles, Crashes and Bear Markets I have executed - I know nothing else. Hopefully this Blog will able to highlight the many pitfalls of foreign exchange trading. The explosive popularity of this get-rich scheme and remarkable community growth is worrying.  I am certain most are deluded in the fact of becoming an overnight millionaire utilising some outdated Expert Advisors. You Fools.

I am up front and non conformative;  at times you will want to hit me over the head with a hammer at the end of the day I am one of the happiest blokes alive with a positive outlook surrounded by those closest to me; but mostly I shall attempt to assist new traders to avoid losing their house, their lives, their wives, their husbands and their children.

From time to time I will post a trade set-up and instrument levels to keep an eye on; mostly my focus will be managing risk, managing psychology - managing the trade from inception to the end like a professional, using macro-events and technical analysis. We may need to hedge we may straddle the position..stay tuned...

There will be the odd tirade, rave & rant whenever I get the urge and do it often on my twitter account @Calvofx where I post trades live.

Yes the aesthetics of the blog will be improved over time so you children shall have some pictures to look at and not this bland ol' background.

If there is a topic you would like discussed in detail, feel free to state what it may be; I will be happy to look into it.

That will be all for now.
