Congrats.
Perhaps the only real advantage a retail trader has is that he or she can wait. If you work on a trading desk you by definition have to trade even if you do not see the opportunity. I know, I did it and was useless at it. I was asked every day how much did you trade and what. I was obliged to trade even if I saw nothing I liked. Same being a fund manager, you cannot tell your clients that you have not done anything because nothing looks good to you.
As a retail trader there is no one holding a trigger to your head saying "do something". You can pick and chose your trades and when you line up a good one you can really go for it. I sometimes wait weeks for a trade to line up. So Xrismak very well done.
Thanks Zoog,
From my Little Experience trading Forex Permit me to say this Once that I can spot a Prop Trader from 10 Miles away, I hung out with them many times and I have a Very Clear Idea of how they Trade, They are In and Out of the Market like a Flash taking the Profits and Closing out Losing Trades pretty Quick, they don't have my Patience because they Trade Other Peoples Money and Adhere Strictly to the Fundamentals Mixing a Slight Bit of Technical Analysis for An Added Edge whilst trading . I Risk my OWN Coins as in when and How I Choose to which is Why I like SHF, where I have Learnt a Lot over so many Months. Now I am Easy like Sunday Morning and Happy to Trade even if I am Loosing, there will always be A couple of other Winning Trades that will Suppase the Loses so in a Nut Shell I am Thankful to Steve Hopwood, Nanningbob, Loads of folks who coded all these Indicators and make them Readily Available for us for free and I'd Never forget to Mention my Mentor Captain Jack

who thought me how to Trade NAKED, I am a Long way away from where I want to be in this Game but I will get there at Some point in time. I Still make Mistakes but not as Much as I used to when I started at first.
Happy Trading Folks,
xrismak
