Ria_rose, I can’t tell you enough how your sunny disposition and infallible optimism are a breath of fresh air. I hope you never change.
Thank you so much for the really kind words @mlawson71! 
I’m so so flattered. I guess it’s just how I’ve been raised. 
And as a Filipino, we really need to see the brighter side of things if we’d want to even get the motivation to get out of bed in the morning. 
Thank you so much again.

Whooooa. That’s a long time already. Haha. I was introduced to forex trading last 2017. I initially wanted to learn about stocks too. It’s just that my tito said that maybe I should check out babypips cause some of the basics of stocks (like patterns, charts, etc) are similar to that of forex. Haha. I ended up liking forex better 
So I’ve been demo trading for more than a year now. I failed at my first strategy so I’m trying out a new one. I hope this one works better so I can finally go live! Huhu.

Hahaha… I always keep my PSE account active coz I’m still not consistent at FX. Besides, I already burned one account. I urge you to continue to learn thru demo. Don’t be like me. I’ve paid P400k in “tuition fees” to the markets (both PSE and FX) coz I rush into the real account with barely a few months of prep for each. My learning curve is steep and expensive. You can do it cheaper and a more relaxed pace so keep up the good work on the demo. Go real when you are really ready… but if you’re feeling adventurous, you are not alone. You got me. Hahahaha…

Well, good luck with that! I hope nobody catches you. Lucky that other websites aren’t blocked in your company’s wifi. Haha. Right now I mostly do freelance stuff. I was the one taking care of my grandmother before she passed away and now I’m looking after my lolo.

Well, my supervisors didnt mind at first when we began opening up about it but as my peers and I were making money, they started to make snide remarks about our stock market activities. Talk about jealousy. So it’s like walking on thin ice that we gotta be extra careful. I regret ever opening up to the office folk coz clearly, some people openly support you in public at first but will stab you when you turn your back. Not that opening market-related stuff is different from Facebook, Instagram, or Shopee which they open during their free time. ^-^
Freelance means you got control of your time. Awesome! I’m sure you’ll have plenty of time to learn and decide to go live very soon! So what kind of freelancing do you do? Web developer or maybe a writer? hihi… ^~^

Ooooh yeah. Huhu. Really hard when people pretend to be happy for you, but are talking behind your back. Huhu. I hate those! I’d much prefer straightforward rude people than two-faced ones. Hahaha. It’s nice that you’re here now! We could support each other too! Haha.
Yeah! I’m a freelance writer for now. But nothing too big or serious that has been posted online. Hahaha.

Yeah, but someday I’ll leave this office. My stocks income isn’t “liveable” yet but someday maybe it will be. Forex may be of help with that goal of financial freedom soon.
So we have a writer here! That’s a great career path you got. Yeah, I’m glad we Kabayans got each other. Let’s do our best and hopefully we earn well in this market.
