RE: Hello everyone. This is difficult for me.
Hey Mark, welcome to Steemit! I'm sure you'll enjoy it here, the community is great. I look forward to seeing your content. Good to have another fellow Brit on board. What kind of other things have you traded in the past? FOREX? Stocks? I got my enthusiasm for trading through crypto but I'm intrigued about other markets too.
As you are interested in cryptocurrency, my blog is going to do an overview series of the top 100 coins and it'd be great if you could give me a follow... I've just released my second post on Ethereum but I've got many more to come!
Hope you have a nice day :)
I've held a long term equity portfolio that's just a nest egg really. But have traded currency pairs before now with mixed results (I started off in forex back in the days), but am going back into cryptos with open eyes.
Thanks for the message, following!
Thanks mate, would be interesting to hear what you had to say about FOREX trading sometime :)
I was day trading cable (GBPUSD pair) with a relatively large broker that on too many occasions failed to fill my limit orders claiming that there was no volume and constantly stopped me out even though I proved the volume was on the book.
I knew my strategy was sound, but just kept getting stopped out all the time, so instead of adjusting my risk ratio, I messed up big time and put in market orders without a stop loss. I had some remarkable gains, but the inevitable happened and my margin account was liquidated when the market went south, twice! I had got greedy and stupid and lost everything I had gained.
So I learned my lesson there!
