Hello to everyone at the Forex FXTrader Forums!

My name is Julie Hawk, and I worked for 12 years as a professional forex and currency options dealer and technical analyst in the dealing rooms of major international commercial and investment banks in London, New York and San Francisco. During that time, I developed world-class insider expertise in all aspects of foreign exchange and currency options, as well as considerable expertise in financial fundamentals and technical analysis, including expertly applying Elliott Wave Theory and technical trading signals to the forex market.

I also traded my own options and futures portfolio as part of a floor trading and market-making team on the LIFFE. In addition, I was one of the original consultants for the AP Dow Jones/Telerate technical analysis and programmable trading signal system known as Teletrac, as well as for FENICS, a professional currency option pricing system. I have also written my own currency option pricing, analysis and risk management software.

Not only have I taught forex and options classes to other forex professionals, fund managers and corporate dealers, but I have written wide-circulation financial markets newsletters, columns for financial journals and articles for news wires like REUTERS.

I look forward to working with Marc and contributing to the Forex FXTrader forums!
