If you are reading this page, then I am
very flattered as it is only about me -
sorry - I would have thought you might have had enough of my picture
over the last few pages and about the Euro to dollar
rates and currency exchange!
As some of you may know, I am a full time currency trader who works from home and I developed all these sites as I wanted to try and help new and even experienced traders learn about various aspects of trading and investing in a variety of markets. On this site I have tried to give you some background and help in the world of currency exchange, which you experience every time you travel abroad or take a foreign.
We all take for granted that on holiday we never get the best rates, but when you buy an overseas asset such as a house or yacht, then it can be a painful experience. I hope that this site has helped to explain some of the pitfalls and why currency rates change constantly, and often irrationally. Trying to forecast the future is almost impossible, but with a little knowledge you can protect yourself against adverse rates.
I am completely self taught, partly by trial and error, but mainly through a great deal of reading, lots of practice and losing money!- yes unfortunately we all have to lose money in order to learn more quickly.
I live in the UK and am currently writing a book on Forex Trading, as I believe there is a lack of common sense advice for new traders in this market - so you never know, you may see my face smiling back at you from a bookshop one day, and even if you never trade currency, it may help you understand why the euro to dollar rate you got yesterday, is different to the rate today!
