Who is “The Trader Guy?”

I am Christopher Lewis, also know as “The Trader Guy”, a professional analyst and trader. I am featured at such places as FX Empire, Daily Forex, Investing.com, and many others.

I hope you enjoy your stay, and that you return often.

Please keep in mind that these analysis pieces are my opinion, but not necessarily trading advice. Also, make sure to never trade or risk more than you can afford to.
