Hello everyone, nice to meet you. My name is Hayato Igarashi (Garake Trader). As the name suggests, I love feature phones and trade about 70% of my trades on a Garake. ● A兼業 trader who works as a sales manager in a corporate job while also handling FX trading on Garake ● Garake method: a hybrid investment method that combines day trading to swing trading and mid-to-long-term trading First, the reason I became a trader: I learned the market from my close friend and mentor who used to work at Nomura Securities. I started with scalping and day trading on the dollar-stroke, and have traded a variety of currency pairs. After trial and error with many trading approaches, now I trade day trading about one-third to one-half of the time, and since around the second Abe Shinzo administration, further evolving, developing, and refining the mid-to-long-term trading that my mentor first taught me, I now blend day trading, swing trading, and mid-to-long-term trading into a hybrid approach. For the traded currency pairs, currently for day trading to swing trading I mainly trade USD/JPY, EUR/JPY, and some dollar crosses; for swing to mid-to-long-term trading I trade USD/TRY, USD/ZAR, USD/BRL, EUR/RUB, GBP/PLN, etc. (AUD/JPY and NZD/JPY are also partially held). Occasionally I trade other currency pairs a few times per month. Also, as a global macro strategy, I invest in commodities, futures, ETFs, stock index CFDs, individual stocks, crude oil, gold, and Bitcoin. In particular, with commodities, futures, ETFs, and stock index CFDs, I use them as FX hedges. That is my brief self-introduction. ---------------------------------- Garake Trader (Hayato Igarashi) FX Blog: http://fxfxfx531.blog.fc2.com/ Garake Trader thoroughly compares FX brokers! “Garagara” PON!: http://fxfxfx531.blog.fc2.com/ Garake Trader (Hayato Igarashi) Twitter: https://twitter.com/641dm Garake Trader Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/garakeitrader Hayato Igarashi (Garake Trader) fx-on FX Blog: https://fx-on.com/blog/list/?u=22076&t=1&blid=428 Hayato Igarashi (Garake Trader) Forexnote～ing FX Blog: http://forexnote.jp/category/garakei/ Garake Trader ADVFN FX Blog: http://jp.advfn.com/blog/authors/garakeitrader ----------------------------------
