Hello From Vancouver

A warm hello from Canada,

I am 24 and I recently opened my first mini account. My past experience is from trading equities on the NYSE and Nasdaq.

I am trading two strategies. The first one is based on a price crossover of the 200 or 250 SMA. The second one is a discretionary strategy where I fade movements that extend significantly from the average true range.

I joined MoneyTec to learn more about FX and to be part of an international community of traders.

Thank you for having me,
DNAJ65000

I worked at Bright Trading out in Langley about 2 mos ago so Abby isn't too far from that. However, Burnaby Lake is only 15 mins from me. I live near Joyce Skytrain. Great to know there are other traders close by.

Cheers

So what was your experience like working at bright trading I considered it but I didn't have the capital to get started. Looks like a pretty steep learning curve
I belong to an activities mailing list in Vancouver and someone posted a message wanting to start a forex trading club in Vancouver.
Would you be interested in something like that

Well near each other thing is all relative and for most people you talk to on this board a 45 - 60 min drive is really close.
Did you see my message about someone wanting to start a forex club in Vancouver area. How about you would you have any interest?

Rob runs his office with a lot of integrity. He offers a lot of support but the bottom line is that spread trading isn't working in this market environment. The learning curve is very steep and I couldn't get over the hump with a 1.55 cent/share commission rate. When you're trading pairs, 6.2 cents is my round trip break even.

I like the idea of a FX club. We would need a mission statement and a list of activities to make it fly.

Wow there are alot more of us than I thought Thats 14 so far I think something will happen from this for sure I would be into a simple get together over coffee at any rate.
Wow I guess I ticked someone off my rating went from all green to half red with one more vote. If someone out there doesnt like something I am doing I would like them to send me a pm so I know what.
Cheers
Rick

I'm in too

Great Idea to meet and/or set up a club...what a shame I'm not in canada... I have an uncle though...and as far as I recall he's not poor at all
I have lots of sympathy for Canada. You guys go ahead and start with this club - I will visit Canada especially to attend

cheers
