Hi all,

New here, but not new regarding trading. Since 11 years, I trade fulltime with my own funds. The last couple of years, I manage a few funds from clients as well. Mostly not using any leverage and maintaining strict rules. On my personal account, I use a leverage of max 10. Trading the M1 timeframe, I consider myself as a scalper. In the past, I traded (custom) tickcharts as well, but HFT isn't my cup of tea anymore.

So, what made me join this resourceful forum? Well, recently, I started to train other local traders and using the MT4 terminal (and supported brokers). It is a good and affordable base to start with. Then I stumbled upon this website while searching for some specific account monitoring tools etc. I got intrigued by how well MT4 indicators and expert advisors are coded and represented. So, I activated an MT4 account and do some small live trades to compare it against my API trades. Don't know what the final conclusion will be and what it means for my future professional approach, but time will tell.

Anyway, greetings from The Netherlands!
