EXPERIENCE
As a Trader
I began trading the Forex in the late 1990’s. I used indicators like MACD (Moving Average Convergence/Divergence), RSI (Relative Strength Index), Bollinger Bands, Exponential Moving Averages and others but I didn't have any luck with them. Back then, a billion dollars was traded in the Foreign Exchange Market on a daily basis and I recall, very well, how much I thought that number was incredible. And truly it was and is incredible. Like the more than 98% of people trading this market, I failed over and over. I used to watch the market non-stop, all day long and as much of the night as I was able to stay awake, while always being stressed out because nearly all my trades were wrong and I would sit there and watch as I lost more and more money.
Today I am still trading the Forex but with much more success. These days, trillions of dollars are traded in the Forex every day, an absolutely insane number when you really think about it. Since my early days I have discovered the magic of the Elliott Wave Theory. I no longer use any indicators. They are confusing and misleading and a trader is likely to lose money due to the overwhelming number of false signals that are inherent to these lagging indicators. Most traders will have a high proportion of losing trades and they make money by stopping incorrect trades soon and allowing correct trades to ride. The problem with this is that overall profitability is slow and allowing trades to “ride” can result in good trades becoming bad trades. Furthermore, these tools are best used in impulsive markets where Price Action is trending and the rise or decline is sharp. The problem with this is that the market is corrective (non-impulsive) most of the time. Corrections can last for years. Who has that kind of time?
Currently I only use Harmonic Patterns, Trend Lines, Fibonacci Ratios and Elliott Wave Theory to make trading decisions. Harmonic Patterns, described by Scott Carney (HarmonicTrader.com) who expanded on H.M. Gartley’s idea, are precise patterns that can give a test large sorry-term rewards while utilizing small Stop Losses. A trader has a lot to gain and little to lose. Harmonic Patterns utilize Fibonacci Ratios to determine where price may reverse. Harmonic Patterns appear very often in corrective markets. Fibonacci Ratios even dictate price movements in impulsive markets. Harmonic Patterns can result in more good trades than bad.
Over the years I have come to learn the value in being able to identify and trade these patterns. Patterns (not just Harmonic Patterns) are very important in the market because they tell a story. Harmonic Patterns are one of the most reliable strategies because they make use of Fibonacci Ratios which dictate market movements.
As a Webmaster
I began learning how to make websites in the early 1990’s. I used Macromedia Dreamweaver to make most of my pages. Dreamweaver allowed me to learn a what-you-see-is-what-you-get (wysiwyg) method of creating websites as well as to learn coding, since it incorporated both in its program. I also began learning JavaScript. The online tutorial that started my love for JavaScript was made by an eighth grader. That inspired me to learn the language. At first I was only adept enough to be able to utilize others’ scripts in my webpages. Before long, I was writing my own small scripts .
I discovered Macromedia Flash back on those days. I began using flash to make large parts of my webpages. Flash was a great tool for animating a webpage and I really don’t understand why it failed (not being used today). At its beginning it was very popular but people had to download its plug-in in order to use it and this may have been a problem back then because installing browser plug-ins was not easy and fraught with compatibility issues. However, flash taught me how to utilize keyframes in creating animations which I use today when creating YouTube videos and creating CSS animations.
Today I only code websites using PHP, JavaScript and CSS (No more wysiwyg). Every webpage starts with a blank page. I specialize in animated webpages that seemingly put themselves together when the user loads the page (just like this page did when you first loaded it).
Conclusion:
The love of trading the Foreign Exchange Market and making websites culminated in ITTFX.COM (ITRADETHEFOREX.COM). The website offers free Forex strategies that specialize in using trend lines, Elliott Wave Theory, Harmonic Patterns, Fibonacci Ratios and more. You can find current and past strategies by date. Our strategies cover all the majors and two minors. We also offer free Forex education and the ability to start trading. All our videos are educational so you not only get current trading set-ups, you get instruction on how to formulate a strategy of your own. It's like being able to watch over a trader's shoulder during live markets.
I hope my love for this market and my ability to share my strategies and trade set-ups becomes your love for this market. It truly is an incredible market. Trading it without advice from seasoned traders will inevitably lead to destruction of your capital. It's not advised to trade on your own. However, getting such advice can cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars. Here I offer all my services for free. I also offer calculators and downloadable references always for free.
I also have a Facebook Group called I Trade The Forex. You can find many of my videos on this group and you can discuss your own strategies, successes, failures and personal stories. So let's make some money and I'll see you inside! Thanks for stopping by and tell a friend! 🙏🤑👍
My dedication is often out of my control. When I fall in love with someone or something, my dedication outpours beyond my ability to contain it. It means that my love is sincere and loyal. In terms of this website, it means I often find myself working on the site: Making it better and creating more content in the form of strategy videos/images with descriptions. And I am forevermore a perfectionist and artist so I am always trying to make the site more perfect.

I am a man for all seasons when it comes to my hobbies as well. I enjoy swimming, bicycling, hiking in nature, camping, skiing, and rollerblading. I enjoy being in the mountains very much and just as much as I enjoy being in the forests and on the beaches. Ocean swimming and bicycling are activities I’ve loved doing since I was a child. I’m not someone who goes to the gym because I prefer getting an equivalent or greater workout outdoors. As much as I love being in the ocean and mountains, I love being in the sky too!
Flying drones is a big hobby of mine and gives me the closest feeling to flying without actually having a pilot’s license. I specialize in FPV drone flying.

I also love cooking, learning new things, reading about science and technology and keeping up with current events. I love star gazing (Still waiting for Coronae Borealis to go supernova!) and bird watching. If fact, if an activity has to do with nature, I’m probably already in love with doing it or endeavoring to learn how. My favorite board games are chess and backgammon. And, although I’m really not that good at it, I love playing the guitar.

Rather than going by the book only, I can come up with a plan when and where "the book" doesn't apply. I have learned that taking the proper care to do things correctly the first time takes less time than having to do things over. In avoidance of waste I don't make mistakes from haste. I tend to come up with plans and I stick to those plans while making adjustments if needed rather than going back to the drawing board. I am very detailed oriented in all parts of my life. I am an artist everyday, in everything I do, at work, recreation and otherwise. I am cognizant of the impossibility of reaching perfection but I believe that if I aim for perfection, I’ll get closer than if I didn't put my expectations so high. I’m a bit of a workaholic and I am self-motivated and self-managing.
