After living working in Germany for 2.5 years at a mid-size investment bank, I decided to take the challenge to trade in a different time zone with less liquidity and tax in HK. I realized it was the time to raise the bar to move forward in my career path regardless of the location of the spot desk or time zone.

Despite having hard days back in Germany in terms of adjusting to the German life style (I can assure you having 3.5 millions Turks in Germany is not easy for the new-comers while people are keen to judge you by the track record of that number) and bank reputation in the market, I was lucky enough to work& learn with/from brilliant traders and friends who helped me to expand my knowledge and forced me to think beyond my point of view in all matters.

After I moved to Asia, I had lack of networking& market information in addition to market volatility to make money from intraday in&outs and I decided to launch this website to record my trading ideas and share my intraday feelings when I feel alone.

Interesting to mention in my very short life-time, I stayed in US almost a year when I was a teenager ( imagine how hard it is for you and your family to stay away  from each other at the age of 14)  and had a girlfriend back in Turkey for more than two years even when I was in Germany but this feeling is totally different.

Frankly, I never felt so homesick and alone in my life till last Friday afternoon, 1st of Jan, 2o1o as I am not capable of doing anything which makes me feel more down and weak since then.

My dear, loving youngest uncle who used to be one of my best friends since I was a little kid, passed away due to a heart attack at the age of 38.

We had a dinner together last August at the new place in Bodrum, Turkey where enjoyed talking to each other and teased my father all night long with his never-ending jokes about their youth together.

He was always a big fan of my father, took him as a role model in his life and thank god, my father always helped him when he was in trouble or in need of something.

Rest in Peace, my precious.
