I agree, RiskOnFx… And with this in mind, I am going to follow every one of my posts henceforth
with a signature, so that people can decide if to ignore my ‘bad’/‘amateur’ advice (nothing personal)
(and try to look for professional/credible advice) or follow up on my suggestions.
In the end, there should be no fear of sharing what we have learnt (good or bad) because it may
save the next person some time or at least show them that others have been down a certain path…
I really dislike ‘gung-ho’ people who claim to be ‘in the know’ and shut down anyone who wants
to share their journey, calling them amateurs etc. So I am putting my hands forward with a
signature at the bottom of every post, because the ‘FX HONORARY MEMBER’ title attracts people
who like to throw insults at me thinking that I somehow think that I know best. I do not know
best, and I have failed many times as a part-time, home-based retail trader… There is nothing
more that I can say than that in my defence… Yes, a lot of us are like the blind leading the blind,
and that is absolutely true, RiskOn, absolutely… but people like Lexy, Turbo, Emerald, SimonTemplar,
PipNRoll, Eddieb have struggled for a while but finally got good at trading… so there are
positive stories… The misconception is that everyone who says is successful is lying on Babypips:
that is just bad vibes… Let us hope that we can all exert judgment when interacting with fellow
forum users, and decide for ourselves if they are scam artists or genuine people sharing their own
stories, sources, techniques, what works and what does not (for them).
Sorry, I was not preaching at you or anyone…just some Sunday musings… I will go back into my box
now
Happy Trading

this is who I am:
PipMeHappy: The Full-Time Music Teacher
I am NOT a professional trader, so any comments or ‘advice’ from me are either things that
I taught myself or sources that I am as sure about as anyone can be. I cannot help but share
with the community: please do not be mad at me if I get things wrong: I will be the first to
admit not knowing something as well as the next man/woman on Babypips…
