Journal of a trader

One of ForexTrading.com’s missions is to help you become a trader, or to help improve your trading expertise. With that in mind, one of Saxo Bank’s Trading Advisors, Ken Veksler, has prepared a case study on becoming a trader.

Ken has over 15 years experience dealing foreign exchange. He has worked as a market maker and proprietary trader for various banks. Immediately prior to joining Saxo Bank, Ken was managing director and founding partner of an asset management company based in Australia. Ken’s trading style is relative value.

On these pages Ken recounts how he came to be a trader, how he developed his relative value trading style and how he uses technical analysis in his trading.

Ken also writes a blog for Saxo Bank's TradingFloor.com. You can read his blogs here.
