Hello, my name is Cheng and I am from Hong Kong. Besides being a civil engineer I am also a very excited new forex trader. I have been learning on how to become a trader and at the same time working on a strategy for the past 12 months, but in my book that still makes me a beginner. It took me four years of studies to earn my engineering degree and I learned that trading forex is the same as any other profession. This means I will happily study another three years until I get to a proficient enough level to call myself and advanced forex trader.
