1) always had an interest and curiosity with the financial markets.
2) Not sure I have a favourite pair, but recently AUDCAD I would say.
3) 30mins/1hr
4) 1200 pips swing
5) -180 pips
6) my attention to detail and consistent willingness to learn and absorb new information.
7) I can be lazy.
8) Perhaps take fundaments Macro and implement this into my trading more often, for longer term.
9) Freedom, I do this for the freedom, so I'm not a slave to someone else.
10) Long term, I hope to continue trading seriously full time for a living and really reap the benefits of trading.
