Hello everyone!
My name is Ludvig and I'm a 31 years old man from a small town in Sweden there I was born and raised. I'm a father of two little daughters (1 and 3 years old).
Today I'm working as a structural engineer but what i really want is to simply work from home managing trades.
I have studied the forex market for 10 years now. Some months very intensive several hours a day, some months much less. I actually don't remember how i first was introduced to the forex market. I have always been very rationall about money and ever since i was a little kid I always hade a dream that i wanted to get rich and i was always confident i would. I think i simply was scanning the internet trying to find diferent ideas of how to make money. What i do remember is that it was about ten years since i found forexfactory and babypips.
Like most of the newbies do I got excited everytime i saw a thread with advanced templates and thousand of indicators. But after a while i realised they didn't really work as they said it would.
Like i said I think I'm very rationall about money or, well everything. Sweden have a very popular lottery there you win if they draw your zip-code (if you're in the lottery obviously). Most people would probably die if you're not in it and then both of your neigbours gets rich. I would give a damn simply because I now it is a loss in the long run.
I also now a lot of prople who just happens to get lucky on the stockmarket even thou they acted like idiots. And then they think they are kings and know it all. Some day they will lose it all for sure. I would not be happy for a win if I new I made a mistake. Sure I would be happy that nature gave me a break that time leaving me with profits insted of loss. But i would be more worried that it would happen again and focus on how to avoid it.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that it is against my nature to have my trading decision influenced by emotions.
Like i said over these 10 years I have studiet A LOT! I've read many books and spent a lot a time studying price even i it would be without trading. I left indicators pretty early (except moving averages) and then I've studied priceaction, support and resistance, dynamic support and resistance, trendlines, and many others stuff. Elliot wave theory is another thing that i have spent many many hours studing. This is a theory that really trained my eyes to se and understand a lot of what price is doing. The problem with is that is always hard to se what degree a impulse have. So is it hard to count the waves correct. I don't recommend anyone trading with it but learing it can really let your eyes easier spot a correction, or even a complex correction.
I have studied so much that i usualy can tell if a strategy or concept has a potential or is useless without trying it.
Well it was a long that was a short presentation about me. A shorter story would be that i during this christmas sat down and really went through all the concepts that i have read about, learnd about and studied on charts. I feelt like it was about time to really create a final strategy that i would begin to use 2021. When i hade made the list i thought that maybe I should have a look at forexfactory and babypips since it was a year a go I think. I went through the most replied threads and I found this. It does use concepts I'm familiar with. The only thing that is new for me is using volume. I have always ignored it since more experienced price action traders said it didn't show the actual volume. My new understading from here is that even tickvolume can be usefull.
I was very happy when i realised you guys had you're own forum. It can be lonely to trade a strategy all by yourself. I've tried to introduce some of my friends by giving them the really easy shortcut to the concepts i've had to study for hunders of hours but even then they are to lacy to step up. So this forum is a really good thing.
Well, I will probably study the material i can find here a little quitly for a while but then I will become more active.
Thanks a lot for everybodys hard work and contributions. Let's "steel" the money from the MMs!
