I am fulltime professional Forex Trader since 2004. Prior to that I traded equities part time for over 10 years. I have my own trading business that specializes in correlation trading .I developed software that assists traders in analyzing markets strengths and weaknesses across Forex, Commodities and Stocks. My company (Forex wealth) provides Trading Alerts / advice as well as live training on the Forex market. I have a growing number of subscribers and have created a large network of traders and associates.
I have developed a niche trading system that allows traders to zero in on high probability trades with minimal risk and drawdown. My trading experience is extensive ranging from technical to fundamental and news trading. I have traded both short term and long term but my specialty is day trading.
My strong points are good people skills and relationship building. I am very detail orientated, have a strong work ethic and morals and I enjoy a challenge
