About
Financial Haze was created to remind me to express the trading ideas that I develop in a real time basis. By day I am an Interest Rate and Foreign Exchange trader for a major European bank. I specialize in the Latin American region but have traded Asian and European markets in the past. Over time this site has been a real learning experience for me. For years I heard how traders should keep a journal to avoid repetitive mistakes and to develop discipline.
“A trader’s journal should be about an individuals emotional psychology. “
As a believer in the idea that successful trading is basically about mastering psychology, I have repeatedly tried to keep an updated journal. Financial Haze is (the latest version of) that journal.
This time I have taken the “journal” in a different direction. I write about my trades, the economy and subject’s of interest. I try to look at certain things that happen and show how they relate to trading (CLICK HERE for an example).
I figure that if a journal can help me with my trading it can also help me develop a plan for educating my two boys and keeping me on a path toward a comfortable retirement.
I encourage comment and debate. That is an added benefit of an online journal and one that has been extremely helpful.
In addition to my trading and writing I have been a guest speaker and panel participant at many Foreign Exchange conventions and seminars.

I am finding that the entire internet hangs on every word that I write and are very interested in where I am and where I have been. Well maybe not everyone, but at least me. Below is a map of all the States I have visited. Check back infrequently for updates to this map.
