Since childhood, I have always had a keen interest in trying to understand how things worked.  I would often get into trouble because I would take apart the appliances in the house to see what made them function.

This curiosity drove me to attend college, majoring in engineering, hoping to find answers to many of my curiosities. It didn’t take long for me to realize that college was not my bag . I found that to earn a degree as an engineer, I would have to take many courses that were of no interest to me and decided to move on. I've always felt that time is a precious commodity, given to us by God, and didn’t want to waste any of it.

As stated, my passion, since childhood, has been breaking things down and then reassembling them more efficiently, so it only made sense to me to become a mechanic. I went to trade school and upon completion excelled in my profession. Unfortunately, after many blissful years, I had to retire due to health-related issues.

As my health improved, I found that I needed something to keep me busy to remain sane. I searched for online businesses and found an interest in trading the forex market, which later became my passion.

Despite the ads claiming that the “Forex market was like having a private ATM”, I found just the opposite was true. The Forex market was difficult to trade, and I soon learned that almost 90% of traders failed in their first year.  One might think that this would scare me off, but instead it piqued my interest. I found something challenging that I could try to figure out from the comfort of my home. I always like a challenge!

As a beginner, I found that most of the information from the so-called “Gurus” was lacking. Don’t misunderstand me, some of it was good, but I couldn’t find anything that gave me the full picture.

In my quest to understand the mechanics of what made the market function, I purchased numerous courses and read countless books on the subject but couldn’t find any definitive answers in any of them. However, I was able to glean tidbits of information from several of them and began to develop my own trading strategies.

Being retired, I had plenty of time on my hands, to watch the market. Day after day, I would spend hours watching price move on multiple currency pairs. I soon found that the market maker has “tells”, just like a poker player. I also noticed that the so-called random walk theory of the market was nonsense. I came to realize that the markets are rigged and move with purpose. Taking this observation into account and combining it with the information I'd gathered from my educational resources, I  figured out how the market works a great deal of the time and am now a successful trader.

Price Point Trading is the culmination of this endeavor.
