    About doing a journal though, is it okay for me to be discussing my methods if they aren't doing so well for me? ¿¿I thought I had to be a really successful trader before doing a journal, so as not to be passing on useless/bad information??

    Hi Helene! Yes, I definitely like being able to help traders get over their initial stumbling steps. I'm never sure how much I can help until I see their request, I guess. But I will only post if I'm absolutely sure (and if time permits.) I think I might join the crowd and start a traders journal, I read your thread on how to start one, but I guess I might read through a few first to get a feel for what type of info I should be presenting. I have been through various trading, and though not successful, I have always kept the lessons and can honestly say I've always been progressing (in each area, and as I moved on to newer areas - transferring all my lessons with me to the new area.) Opened my first stock account in October 2006, in January 2009 got into Options, then I discovered Penny-Increment Options, and by May 2009 I discovered Binary Options. Started Forex demo Sept 1, and moved to live account Sept 16.

    Hello Everyone!

    Thank you for visiting me! My goal here is to help our clients get their answers as fast as possible as well as, make this fun for them. A little about me: I was born in Shanghai, moved to West Africa when I was 4 and lived there for 15 years. Then moved to the US. I went to Pace University, one of the mover favorable Business Schools in NYC, however, my major was Communications and minored in Psychology. I believe in figuring people out and work with them in their own realm. I enjoy working for FXCM as it is one of the best companies I have ever worked for (believe me, I've worked for quite a few companies, none of which can compare with FXCM). I believe in making your own world. So trading is a bit similar, a lot of psychology. So if anyone wishes to speak to me in regards to the Psychology of Trading, please feel free to drop me a message here!!

About Helene at FXCM
Who am I?:
I was born in Shanghai, China then, moved to Ivory Coast, West Africa at 4, then moved to NYC at 13. I went to Pace University majoring in Communications and minored in Psychology (I was 1 class away from having a double major in psych and comm. All because I did not want to take a class on clinical psychology). I believe trading has a lot of psychology in it. So if anyone would like to talk about the psychology of trading, please message me! I would love to talk to you about it.
