And Im talking LOTS of MONEY! You may &lt;a href="http://forexautopilotinfo.blogspot.com/"&gt;follow this route straight away &lt;/a&gt;if you like but it is highly optional&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But...First up...rest assured, everything on my blog is free. My intention is not to sell stuff but to share stuff.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Now that we have this clear...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Lets have a chat about Forex. Before I started Forexing, I went to &lt;a href="http://www.babypips.com/school/"&gt;School&lt;/a&gt;. No...Really! I learnt a lot from &lt;a href="http://www.babypips.com/school/"&gt;babypips&lt;/a&gt;. Education was free and once it was over, I decided to put my knowledge to work in the real world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Then I decided to start trading myself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I opened an account with &lt;a href="http://ads.easy-forex.com/Gateway.aspx?gid=96670"&gt;Easy-Forex&lt;/a&gt;. Deposited the minimum sum of $100. Then I tried my best to apply all I learnt and guess what?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I LOST ALL MY MONEY!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Then I became hungry for forex knowledge. I read FREE e-books and even bought some good ones.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Before I go on...as a thank you for visiting my site, you can download the e-books which I bought for &lt;a href="http://free-forex-for-you.blogspot.com/"&gt;FREE&lt;/a&gt;. :)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Moving on...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I read and read alot of &lt;a href="http://forexeducationlibrary.blogspot.com/"&gt;articles&lt;/a&gt; on trading systems and indicators etc. Everytime I learnt something new, I tried to apply it by trading on my &lt;a href="http://ads.easy-forex.com/Gateway.aspx?gid=96670"&gt;Easy-Forex&lt;/a&gt; account. I did make a few profits but I made quite a bit of losses.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I tried a lot of complicated systems from Fibonacci to MACD to RSI to Parabolic SAR. I finally learnt the SIMPLE truth through my losses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Rule number 1: Keep your trading system SIMPLE!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Rule number 2: Stick to it!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I realised that my emotions tend to came in the way of my trading sometimes. And that inadvertently contributed to my losses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I came up with a &lt;a href="http://myforexsystemexplained.blogspot.com/"&gt;system&lt;/a&gt; which I have been using since 3 months ago. I do not have much time to trade but when I do, I seemed to be getting more profits then losses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As another thank you for tolerating my rambling thus far, I would like to share my &lt;a href="http://myforexsystemexplained.blogspot.com/"&gt;system&lt;/a&gt; with you.
