Hello, I am Cinga(21) from South Africa. I am a medical student studying Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery at Walter Sisulu University. I have joined this forum so that I can learn how to trade and make extra cash to survive as varsity life is a bit hard. Not only because of that, I have dreams that I wish I can accomplish even before I can finish my degree. So I believe that with that extra cash I can make my dreams come true. I’m willing to learn more from this forum hence I have joined. I do not have any trading experience but with your help I believe I’ll able to trade after learning something.
You’ll need to spend as much time learning how to trade properly and proficiently as you spend on your studies and to acquire specialist skills. While FX is simple it’s not easy, not by a long chalk. So don’t be surprised when you start losing money as over 75% of most newbies do.
I suggest you would be better off continuing your studies and don’t be deluded by social media claptrap. Most of it is marketed to take your money because it’s easier than trading.
That’s the reality - not a dream.
At least you’re here in a safe place with education free of charge. Take it easy, one step at a time, and see if it suits your lifestyle. I assure you, you WILL lose money if you don’t put in the effort - there is no gold lining the FX pavements, or golden apples from the FX garden of Eden.
Otherwise we’d all be millionaires. That my friend is it is what it is.
