RULES + Welcome to the Introduce Yourself forum

Hi everyone.

Am Manny, and Am actually not new to forex or trading, I started 10 years ago.

But unfortunally I was young (and dumb :p), had no patience, was lazy, even fat and had the “get rich quick” mentality.

Well that didnt go well and I blew up my account several times…

Then just quitted.

After this and after my doctor told me I was on the verge of a heart attack because of my high cholesterol and bad lifestyle I knew I had to change my life, So I went back to school and studied business psychology and practiced lot other stuff (i.e. meditation, etc.).

So I finally got up from my behind and changed my lifestyle, eating habits, relationship with my kids and family !!

It took many years, it was not easy, but my life has turned 360 degrees and Am ready to give trading another chance.

Even thought am a pretty good at psychology am still new to a lot of the trading psychological stuff, so I hope to learn more from Dr. Pipslow’s teachings.

Am also going to put aside all the stuff (Junk!) I think I know about trading and start from zero! (kindergarten).

Hello everyone i am Glenn and i’ve been trading forex live for about 10 months with 3 months of demo behind that. I’m still finding the strategy that works best for me. I’ve read through babypips.com for the past few days and i’m looking to find some new strategies and brush up on the building blocks as i progress through my trading career. i’ve found the “school of Pipology” quite informative and a very nice learning tool, i wish i had found this place 10 months ago it probably wouldve saved me a bit of capital lol. Anyway looking forward to sharing and learning with everyone!

Hello and welcome, everybody! Glad to see this party is alive and kickin’!

I just thought I’d take a moment to introduce myself and join the fun here. I’m Cyclopip. Yep, that green face you see to your left belongs to me. I know, I know… Handsome, ain’t I?

But there’s more to me than meets the eye. (Get it?! Haha!) Beneath my thick green skin lies a gentle giant, often misunderstood. As a matter of fact, ever since I was a young’un I’ve been searching for my place in this world.

I tried my hands at underwear modeling and hairstyling for a while, but for some weird reason, those career paths didn’t work out. And then I met the FX-Men and discovered forex trading… and I knew I had found my calling!

Since then, I’ve been all about forex. I’m obsessed about cross currency pairs in particular because they offer so many different and exciting trading opportunities. As a matter of fact, I run a blog all about cross currency trading here on BabyPips.com… the Currency Cross-Eyed blog!

You may have noticed from my past blog entries that I’m a bit of a sports nut. Yep, next to forex (and fried bunny ears), there’s nothing I love more than sports!

Anyway, that’s me in a nutshell! If you want to get in touch with me for any reason whatsoever (like if you think we have a lot in common and want to be buddies), drop by my blog and leave me a comment.

Don’t be afraid, I don’t bite (much)! I’m also on Twitter, Google+, and Facebook… ‘cause, you know, a monster’s gotta stay connected!

Again, welcome to BabyPips.com! I’m looking forward to hearing from you!

Hello everybody!
My name is NIK05, i’m da price catcher with average (2+ years) experience in live trading. Have my own everydayweekdeveloping trading strategy, that I try to follow (but not always))) . Being introduced in FX structure & basics, I decided to learn this deeper. I was reading many books about trading strategies, money management & psychology. A few months later I finally felt myself fully armed and only after that I decided to open my first real account. From that time and till now i’m in the game!
I try to always be a student in trading, cause it helps me to stay on the right way.
That’s why I’m here now. I see here’s a tons of information required.

P.S. Just passed some tests in school section & found that your training/testing method is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen, great job guys!

Good luck to all!!!

Hi everyone!

I’m Happy Pip, lady trader of the commodity currencies here on BabyPips.com. As some of you might know, I have a blog called Playing with the Comdolls which has my regular weekly take on the comdolls and some trades here and there.

I’m a huge fan of Harry Potter, Rachel Ray, Kathy Lien, and carry trade. Unless I’m busy whipping up a new recipe in the kitchen, I usually spend a few hours watching the charts carefully as I hunt for trade setups or chatting with my comdoll buds over at the Comdolls Section of the BabyPips.com forums.

Although I’ve been trading for a few years now, I’m sure I could learn from a lot of y’all when it comes to managing my trades and maximizing my profit potential so don’t be shy to drop a comment or two when I post my trade ideas! I really love it when I receive feedback from my fellow traders

That’s pretty much all I got for now. See you around!

Hi, I am Mr. Gone, my avartar doe not reflect Mr Gone character because it is not MG, it’s Roy Bathy from Blade Runner, a replicant designed to be identical to humans except for their emotions, replicants aren’t suppossed to have emotions. I was soppossed to be a Replicant Trader but it is not posible to control emotions.

I’ve been trading for more than three years now but recently i’ve been profitable so i guess all sacrifice worth it. Anyway, I am a big fan of price action, it means no indies.

Regards.

Here i leave you with a drawing of MR Gone:

Greetings, my name is celvortex, I’m an aussie and I’ve been (demo)trading for only a month, with [I]some[/I] success. I went thru Pips school and was very impressed (altho some of the pop references went below the …radar). I want to learn how to place trades properly, and I want to learn the ZEN of it all…I’ve quickly learnt that all that INFO out will effing eat you for breakfast if you let it and pop decisions are for the veterans (although you could easily trade well on central bank decisions lately). I have seen enough to realize I can do this well eventually, but I also see that is some way off yet…

Hi all,

I’m Souljie and just want to say it’s nice to be part of this community!

I’m from Australia - I notice a few Aussies around the forums. I’ve been reading about forex and dabbling in demo accounts since August so I’m still a newbie. Been through the Babypips school which I thought was a great introduction. Now I’m reading more on individual strategies - looking more at swing/position trading at this stage as I still have a full time job. Just opened a small live account and hope to be trading on it next month to get the real feeling. I’m already sure it will have a different psychological impact to demo trading for me so I’m diving in!

Happy trading all!

How’s it going, everyone? It looks like the party’s getting hot in here so I’m gonna jump right in and introduce myself!

I’m Forex Ninja, resident market industry spy among the FX-men.

Aside from keeping track of the latest developments in forex regulation, broker practices, and trading products, I also monitor the Trade of the Week contest. You can get the latest scoop on all these and more in my Espipionage blog.

I guess you can say that my espionage skills often carry over to the world of Hollywood celebrities since one of my guilty pleasures is to read celebrity gossip columns. With that, don’t be surprised if I post a few updates on the latest hook-ups and break-ups through my Twitter or Facebook accounts, haha.

That’s all I got for now! Welcome to the BabyPips.com community and I’d love to see y’all around!

hello again
Have been recently made excruciatingly aware of the vagarities of the market lately, I placed a trade to buy AUD/JPY and got sverely trounced!!! Back to the drawing board for me. Oh, and to jessey126, I was referriing to the references to pop culture, which, as an aussie, I could see as being a bit different to my own pop culture…was that diplomatic enough?

Hi Im Dea8

I did a 2 day course on Forex at the beginning of August so I feel like I have a lot to learn. Ive just joined GFT after switching from ETX Capital because I think Dealbook 360 is great but also because GFT Webinars are really good (No, I am not someone secretly working for GFT, even if it sounds like it!).

Anyway if you are looking for a broker but feel like you need help with technical analysis Id recommend them because their daily webinar which takes you through it is very good for beginners and intermediates.

So that’s it pretty much. Keen to learn but taking it easy & starting small…

Sam, can I ask you how long it took you to really get a handle on formulating your own strategy and that moment when you felt “I know how to read charts well enough to be totally comfortable with executing my trades” etc if that makes sense. I feel like after 2 months of work, the scales are starting to fall away from my eyes but I also know I am not quite there yet. Would be interested to hear your thoughts.

Hello.

My name is Jorge and i am from Lisbon, Portugal (Euro zone).
I only got in contact with Forex a couple of months ago trough a friend that is a successful trader. The first thing he pointed was Babypips and i am glad he did. My knowledge past from a confuse could to a good overview of the big picture.
Although the temptation is strong i decided not to open a live account until a accomplish positive 3 to 6 months in my demo account .
I have a prosthodontics degree and before that a frequented busyness management school (didnt finish).
I see Babypips School has a genuine online course. Its very interesting and perfectly explained. I can even get amused while reading. Congratulations for such a good work for the Babypips team. (Who wrote the school texts ? Would like to know. :slight_smile: )
I have a private pilot license and dream about getting to the “Big Money”, go “easy” on my job and buy myself a new stunt plane. After all dreaming is steel free of charge (for now).
I am at the “Undergraduate” phase and trying to set up a trading plan.
Best of luck to you all. May all of your wishes come true.

Best Regards: GitoAtom (screen name) aka Jorge
