Harvey Page

Hi, my name is Harvey Page I first became interested in the Forex markets in early 2007 when I attended a stock trading seminar at a private gathering. The host showcased his impressive gains, having amassed a significant fortune through trading within just two months. He provided verified proof, which piqued my curiosity, especially as a 19-year-old. At the time, I believed that currency trading was the domain of banks or wealthy individuals. As the industry evolved, I realized that trading retail forex was possible, but the early days were challenging. Reliable brokers were scarce, their trading platforms were unstable, and spreads were unreasonably wide. Many traders were still relying on dial-up internet, making execution delays a common issue. Gradually, trading forums emerged, and self-proclaimed gurus began to offer advice. Several strategies from equities, futures, and options markets were adapted to the foreign exchange (FX) market; a 24/5 arena with unique characteristics. Back then, those who understood how to trade around key news events or leverage the carry trade could generate substantial profits. However, brokers soon wised up, tightening their spreads, adjusting swap rates, and implementing trading restrictions that diminished these early opportunities. My biggest hurdle was being distracted by too many so-called experts, falling for marketing gimmicks and complex systems that promised consistent returns but failed to deliver. I often switched between different strategies, losing consistency and, at times, profits. But I never gave up. Over time, I learned to discern the genuine mentors from the pretenders and started absorbing valuable lessons from those who had proven themselves. Along the way, I honed my risk and money management skills, moved away from day trading, and simplified my approach. By making my trading strategies clearer and more streamlined, I was able to maintain a disciplined trading routine. I even dabbled in creating automated trading systems or Expert Advisors (EAs), though I found mixed success. While EAs can be useful for certain tasks, I prefer to manage my trades manually, believing that human intuition, developed through years of experience, often outperforms rigid algorithms. After nearly 17 years of chart analysis, I’ve developed a strong understanding of market patterns, price action, and trading psychology insights that no robot can replicate. I now primarily trade on the 4-hour and daily charts, and Forex trading has become my main source of income. Thanks to the flexibility of trading online, I can trade from anywhere in the world as long as I have internet access. My trading systems may be simple, but they are effective, and that’s what ultimately matters. I love trading currencies and believe that with the right approach, Forex trading offers significant financial opportunities. In addition to trading, my passion for writing has inspired me to combine both interests by publishing books to help aspiring traders, particularly beginners. My books share every phase of my trading journey, from the fundamentals; such as risk management and cultivating the right mindset to technical and fundamental analysis. I place a strong emphasis on the key trading principles that often go overlooked but can be transformative. Through these books, I explore price action, trader psychology, and common trading errors to extract timeless lessons. I firmly believe that how we respond to market challenges and learn from our mistakes is far more important than the setbacks themselves. This is the core message of my books, and I hope it inspires you to take action and continuously improve your trading skills. I’ve enjoyed writing them, and I trust you’ll find them insightful and practical. If you have any questions or feedback, I’d be thrilled to hear from you. Thank you for your support. Happy trading!
