Hi There,
I’m Jeco, don’t ask why “Jeco”, it just popped up, short and sweet and not been used before.
Thank you for the opportunity to join you all, I see it as a privilege to have stumbled upon such a great website and be part of the trading community!
I’m from Port Elizabeth, South Africa. I’m an Electrical Engineer and married with three children. I have tried Forex Trading (or may I confess “Forex gambling”) in 2005 with a small account of $400, increased it to $600 in 4 weeks, and from there everything went south with a wiped account. I realized that there is much more to Forex Trading than I thought, and decided to stick with my 9 to 5 job till now.
I have a friend in Adelaide Australia that invited me on Facebook and found that he’s a full-time forex trader. That was the kick in the behind to quit my mediocre life and try something new, exciting and hopefully successful. I have made up my mind, so here I am, all dressed up and hopefully somewhere to go. I’ve surfed the internet for the right website that could help me in my quest to become a trader and found it to be overwhelming and hopelessly confusing. I had to start my “trading training” with the basic’s first and work it up to a level where I could start with demo trading and eventually life trading. I found Babypips and looked at your online school. It definitely looks like the right place to start.
As I start my Journey, I’ll probably will have a million questions but please bear with me.
I thank you.
Jeco
