GET TO KNOW ME
LOUIS MARIE RAPHAEL
Hey there,
My name is Raphael Ekponon, founder of LM Macro FX. I started my journey in the financial market at the age of 17 in 2021. Then, I’ve started to learn technical analysis with no clue or no consideration of the fundamental aspect that drives the market. After 3 months of deep research, following my introduction in the market, I was able to find valuable content about the fundamental part of FX trading but it wasn’t enough.
I was so passionate and still passionate that I started reading a ton of financial jargon that made no sense to me, acknowledging that english is not my first language. It was one of the biggest challenges in my journey and I knew that the language barrier wouldn’t be a constraint to my commitment to learn, to my passion which is finance and economics. Thanks to my Business Administration Diploma, I was also able to get some macroeconomic knowledge, but still wasn’t enough. I was so committed to learn more, to develop critical thinking skills and to analyze the market in its entirety from fundamental analysis to technical analysis. I can easily spend 5+ hours going through Central Bank reports, reading interesting financial articles and making brief summaries of my proper understanding.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
I am here to share with you!
How can I develop an effective trading strategy?
An effective trading strategy lies first in understanding key factors that drive markets as well as their ‘‘development over time’’ . Understanding those factors are crucial as it can allow you to adapt to any market conditions. After that, comes the technical part, which allows you to find entries following your fundamental ideas.
In summary, in order to develop an effective trading strategy you must combine the fundamentals, representing the greatest percentage of the job, and the technical analysis.
What are the most useful technical indicators for analyzing markets?
This question is quiet subjective. There are a lot of ‘‘useful’’technical indicators based on your approach to these indicators. In this game, it’s not a matter of indicator. Most traders don’t use indicators while others do. At the end of the day, they still end up being profitable. That being said, you would rather understand first buyer and seller flows.
What are the best tools and resources to improve my trading skills?
Reading articles from trusted sources in order to get familiar with important concepts, staying up to date with recent and actual events that occur in the market, backtesting datas and tracking your performances can be the greatest tools to improve your trading skills. Please note that it’s capital to apply those methods in a consistent and rigorous way if you want to see real changes in your trading journey so far.
How can I manage risks and protect my capital?
First of all, as mentioned in the previous questions, it’s all about getting the right information. Getting the right information (macroeconomic knowledge) will help you reduce your risk considerably, then comes the 2% 's rule .
Based on the size of your capital, it’s often recommended to risk no more than 2% per trade.
i.e: You get a 100K$ as capital. Here, the maximum risk you can allocate is 2K$ per trade
