Celebrating first trade (a win)

Hi all,

I have been waiting for this for quite some time now. I have been studying and paper trading for over a year. I thought I had found some magical trading secrets along the way and at least I managed to only lose fake dollars testing them out. Long story short, after a year of learning all over the internet I started all over again on BabyPips. Even though a lot was stuff I had already learned, I took the course from start to finish and created my own trading plan rather than following some YouTuber’s “90% Win Rate” hype. I back tested it, took notes, fine tuned, and then when I set a day to finally start trading, guess what? It took 2.5 days for my setup to come in. But it did. And while I know they can’t all be winners, it is a big boost to have the first one go well.

I don’t share on the internet too often, but I wanted to say thank you to the team here who put together such a comprehensive class and forum to help students of FOREX get a leg up.

Looking forward to the future.

Anyone extra curious, the trade was USDCAD - Long - Enter 1.23790 - Stop 15 pips - TP 22.5 pips - 3.0% profit on account.

Well done. Just keep following that exact process for each trade - then even if it loses - which will be a normal occurence - you can pat yourself on your back by always sticking to making a ‘good’ trade.

It’s like sending out mini robots to do battle - a few will be collateral damage - while the mainstay will succeed.
