After the summer (with little desire) I return to work

Now that summer is over (although to be precise there are still 11 days to go), I have started working again. I found myself with more than 200 e-mails to reply to, and within about ten days you will all have received a reply.

In several of the e-mails read so far, regret is expressed about my decision to suspend the publication of analyses as they are considered a valid (and natural) continuation of the study of my books. This site was not created for the purpose of helping other traders to trade (no one can teach you that, not even me. At most I can teach you how I trade but that, most likely, is not suitable for you since we are different people with different characteristics).

The purpose of this site is to teach you how to correctly analyse the financial markets within my area of expertise, i.e. currencies (Forex) and commodities (spread trading) and then incorporate the information obtained into your trading. All for free. Only the books are not free for the reason that it cost me a lot of time writing them, updating them, improving them (as well as money for covers, translations, etc.). Since our time on Earth is limited, it is also the most precious resource we possess.

Unfortunately, however, as the months went by I realised that people, most of them, only followed me to copy the trades I posted, showing that they understood nothing about what trading is. Always remember that those who seek shortcuts in life are doomed to fail. The crafty in trading are short-lived. I have always followed the lesson that if I want to achieve something, I have to work hard for it and I have never regretted it.

This, explained another time, is the reason for my decision. However, in doing so I penalised those few who saw my analysis as a complement to the readings previously made, and I regretted this. For these people, last week I decided to open an Instagram account where I could post operational ideas (which are not signals but an invitation to continue the analysis and draw conclusions), discuss economics and financial markets. All this with an educational purpose.

With the people who already follow me, taking a spread as a starting point, we analysed the coffee situation and started to discuss the US dollar. So, if you are interested in increasing your knowledge and experience, I invite you to join us by clicking on this link https://www.instagram.com/tradingwithdavidoriginal/. For everyone else, please go elsewhere. I am not looking for numbers, I am not interested in having millions of followers, I do not aspire to be an influencer.

Another question I have been asked in many e-mails is when the options book will come out. The book is stuck as it was a year ago. I make no secret of my hatred for this text and wish I had never started it. However, I want to make you a promise, which I hope will also act as a stimulus: by spring 2023 the book will be published.

A successful year of trading and investing to you all!
