- Economist, business and currency analyst, forex and stocks trader.
Hi, my name is John van der Munnik (VDM) founder of VDM Trading and have been around this planet for 31 years. Welcome to VDM Trading!
This blog is setup on a ‘teach to learn’ basis. I wanted to learn from others (and hopefully some will learn from me 
about the exciting world of trading.
It wasn’t long ago since I started Forex trading, but I have always been interested in trading in general for more then a decade. Stocks, options, commodities and futures, just about anything you can trade. Until recently it became very affordable thanks to micro accounts to trade currencies and stocks.
There’s much to learn, another reason why I setup this blog.
About my blogging experience;
I’ve been ‘blogging’ since 1996 and was probably one of the first ones around that actually had a what you call nowadays a blog. I made my own website and had it hosted by my internet provider. I remember I had to manually copy and paste the piece of ‘html code’ that was the mold of a date and time stamp and I had to fill it in manually what the current date and time was, hehe, the good old days.. ahum I was writing about anything that was important to me as a teen ager, current events, my favorite sports team, video games and desktop wallpapers with girls in skimpy bikinis, etc. Looking back to it I was always surprised how successful my website was, generating alot of hits, and no I didn’t have a free gallery of the bikini babes (although now that I think about it, I should’ve had one).
People actually seemed interested in what I wrote and I got alot of feedback too. Back then there were no ‘comment’ options so everything had to be done by ‘guestbooks’, judging by the amount of entries I determined that some people out there genuinely had read my post and something about it had drawn their attention, so much to leave a comment for me.
I’m not saying I’m a fantastic blogger, in fact I don’t think I know anything about it really, now that I think about it, lol.
I just write what’s on my mind and post articles that I think people will find interesting and useful. I just keep writing and the end result is always an interesting post, I know it’s magic!
Hopefully you’ll enjoy my blog and if you have any questions, comments or suggestions, leave feedback or contact me.
