Mantra Trade Part 1

I was firstly a risk manager for a large bank then a position opened as a spot forex trader. Got an account for $2mil in the first three months got increased to $5mil for the next year and to $8mil in the next. When it was increased to $20mil I called it quits. The more you make the more they want you to make, and of course "force" you to make. Yes the pay is great but you die bit by bit.

Took a long "vacation" and am now back in Risk Management again...

Trading is not for everyone and it is not for me, not the way the banks make you trade. The pressure and rewards are immense but at some point the rewards are not enough anymore.

I am now happily married with a lovely wife we have a little girl and a life outside of trading.

Yes I still trade but for my own account and I find these forums unbelievable. Both for the funny indicators as well as for some really good advice that has proven true over ages.
