Anonymous said : "So when are you going to write a book Simon??!"
I know Anonymous is kidding, but this is an interesting question from the point of view of where do I think I'm at with all this? My answer is that I regard myself as a newbie. Its about 18 months of hardcore Forex trading and I still say newbie. I think this blog has so far served the purpose I initially intended which is to (to some degree) help accelerate the learning curve by imposing a discipline on myself and to force my thoughts to be clear and directional. If the blog is alive, presumably my trading is alive. I could probably consolidate what I know into a book but it would be a crime; its called pouring the empty into the void. These types that write ebooks and courses and make cash from selling curve fitted systems - I think they pay the price in terms of becoming a real pro-trader. On some level they sold out, at least on an integrity level. My gut tells me this is the case.
Its like which camp do you want to join?
My blog is mostly for not giving up and being focussed, and it HAS served that purpose so far I think. Hopefully readers got something from it too. But in terms of progress I still regard myself as a beginner. You get this impression from just talking to guys who trade decent money or do this full time, and you realise that they seem to know something you do not know - or perhaps that you know as merely theories that you cannot yet live out
