Yeah twitter is great, there are a ton of good traders on there and can't beat it for timely economic news.

Cool, yes that puts your returns in perspective. As you already identified, you were trading too aggressively this led to excessive drawdown. Either way, you are showing a lot more insight than your average new trader and I think you have a real shot in this game.

Nice work on the broker selection too! Though Pepperstone aren't the cheapest or the biggest, they are the second best broker in Aus IMO and it's rare a new trader hunts out a broker of that calibre at the start of their journey. I'm an IB for them too so I can still get you a discount. I'm sending you a little SBD with a link to the rebate section on my website and you can use the contact form there to get me via email.

Check this post to see some of the feedback from my clients and a little from me on the way I do business.
