Self-introduction
Hello.
This is Gecko.
This series is published to provide information about FX,
and before that, I must first answer the question, “What is Gecko?”
.
It would be a bit of a nuisance if you were to encounter dubious information from an unknown person, right?
Please join me for a brief self-introduction.
【About Gecko】
I have been involved in EA development since 2021.
Since both can be done in my spare time,
I continue them as an efficient use of time.
By the way, “Gecko” is the pen name for EA development.
A gecko is a lizard in Hawaii,
and it is cherished as a small guardian deity that protects the home.
What I keep in mind in EA development is,
“not aiming for flashy profits,
but steadily protecting what is important
and quietly thriving as an EA.”
That’s why the name Gecko feels fitting, so I chose it.
【Gecko’s FX History】
My FX history is quite long to begin with.
The origin seems to be around 2005, as far as I remember.
Back then, I was still making a living as a salaryman.
“After work, should I start some investment in my free time?”
that casual idea led me to start with stock investment.
I would look at investment magazines about stocks and invest in stocks I thought I could get into.
However, with stocks, returns are hardly anything with a small principal.
Holding periods are long, and the funds aren’t rotated efficiently, so I quit at a reasonable point.
What caught my eye was “funds efficiency” and “high turnover,” which led me to FX.
【Beginning FX】
Around 2005 there were various FX brokers for individual investors,
so I opened an account at a place that seemed somewhat famous.
The trading platform (charts and order screens) looked cool too,
so when I opened charts in front of the computer I got a little excited.
At first, I didn’t understand how to read charts well.
However, due to my business background, I tended to want to analyze and verify things,
and while reading books about the “Ichimoku Kinko Hyo,”
I remember trying various things, thinking “this isn’t right” and “that might work.”
I was somewhat absorbed, but
the thrill of FX’s high liquidity and the expectation of profit remained, and I found myself daydreaming even at work,
and my work itself became very busy,
and before I knew it, I drifted away from FX.
【Resuming FX】
After more than 15 years had passed, I suppose.
As work settled down and I had more spare time to waste,
and when a feeling of “I might resume FX” started to grow,
I became interested in a certain advertisement.
Anyway, when I first saw an advertisement from a marketer releasing materials,
I thought, “This could be traded FX without stress.”
That’s what I felt at the time.
That material claimed
“Trade by following the arrows shown on the chart and you’ll win!”
That was the catchphrase.
In any case, I resumed FX, drawn by that advertisement.
Oops
It’s getting long, isn’t it.
Sorry, but the rest will be in the next installment.
Next time, I’ll share a few of my failed experiences,
so please look forward to it.
