Work, family and forex

Finally started my blog. Well here I am, a seasoned forex trader who juggles kids, countries and work as a health professional. Yes it's possible to have a dayjob AND trade the busiest forex sessions (Europe/UK and early US session) but you have to be lucky enough to live in the right time zone. I'm 9.5 hours ahead of GMT, in Australia.

Last year I was living in France so it was great to be able to trade FX in European working hours. But back here I get the chance to hold down 2 jobs. I'm also a mum to 2 boys, so I get to do school pickups, teach my younger son to read, etc. in my spare time. That probably explains why you can often find me online at 1am - my only private time of the day.

I've been trading forex long enough to be good at it, but I still make too many mistakes. So part of the reason for me starting this blog is to keep myself honest, and post my mistakes as well as my successes.
