2 years Forexbird

The sparrow is 2 years old! This blog was started on October 31, 2007. The very first trade analysis i did is here. The purpose was to keep a record while scalping the euro pairs, inspired from M. Weinstein's conception (see the motto on the left). Two years and 570 posts later, a lot of things have changed, my style and tools, my attitude towards the market. Back in 2007, although I had allready 2 and half years of forex trading experience on my back, I was still hooked on indicators, "systems" and methodologies found on technical books and the internet. It took me another two years to emancipate myself from all this stuff and to evolve towards simplicity : all I need now is to feel the price movement. Nothing more, nothing less. No indicators, no systems, no trading teachers or gurus. I still have indicators on my charts but I don't pay much attention to them anymore. Trading, scalping especially, is pure geometry. You need time to get your master degree on trading geometry. You only have to study the price movement on (thousands of) charts, for some (long or shorter) time.

It’s a great achievement, I believe for anyone it’s great to run for so long successfully. I always follow this blog and always get great updates and ideas, it’s ever easier through OctaFX broker with their amazing conditions with low spreads from 0.1 pips to high leverage up to 1.500 while there is also smooth trading platform in cTrader, it’s a complete package which helps with performance and allows me to work so nicely with absolute ease and comfort in everything.
