I was born in Surrey and I have been trading since 2008, and writing the blog since 2009.

After college I went to university where I studied Business Management & Entrepreneurship.  Once I graduated I got a job in a customer service role, which is where through chance I met Javid.  After a year I decided to move on and purse a career in sales.  It was this moment in my life that I decided that I didn’t want to be part of the rat race anymore and wanted more from life.

My interest for trading originated from college where I was studying business studies.  This interest for trading was fuelled further through my studies at university where I was given a brief insight into the world of Investment Banking, Options and Currency trading.

Once I made the decision of wanting to trade currency I contacted Javid who agreed to be my mentor and my journey began with the Dynamic Trader Forex Apprenticeship in 2008.  Since completing the Forex Apprenticeship my confidence in my chart analysis has improved greatly, but more interestingly I have learnt a lot about myself in regards to the psychological side of my trading.  I found that the hardest part of trading were my emotions getting in the way.

My favourite catchphrase is “Carpe Diem” which is Latin for “Seize the Day”
