‘Ello BabyPips Community!

Hello everyone,

My name is Christian (not Chris, lol).

I go where the money takes me, and currently, that place is New Hampshire, USA.
I work full time as a Franchise Executive, a fancy title for emails, LinkedIn, meetings, and death by PowerPoint.

I’ve been reading a lot of the material here lately and finally decided to join. I’ve been trading for just about 4 years now. I started with swing trading stocks, then moved on to trading Options, which is still my primary trading method.

As for Forex…I am a newcomer that started trading using Oanda in August of this year. I’ve already fallen victim to the dreaded “90/90/90” of Forex trading, but that doesn’t discourage me.

I only trade with what I am 100% okay with losing. I understand that I will probably blow out my account again and then again.

As I always say to new Options traders that I speak with:

“Your losses aren’t losses if you learn from your mistakes. Consider every penny that goes against you as a tuition payment to Trading University.”

Taking that mindset and applying it to forex trading…or anything in life will ultimately treat me well in the long term.

On a final note:
I love to network and spend a lot of time on LinkedIn for my job, so feel free to send me a message, and we can connect on there as well. I am always looking to grow my network, sphere of influence, and knowledge base.

Also, Thank you to the BabyPips team for creating this excellent site filled with great tools, resources, and this community!

I am looking forward to learning and contributing to the community!

Regards,
Christian H.

Hi Christian,
Welcome to Babypips. Your other interests in stock and options is a massive front end starter to understanding Forex. If you have not already started, look at the Education tab at the top of the page and start the Babypips School of Pipsology. I am on my second time around on this School, and still haven’t finished, but I do all the quizzes as and when they appear, and redo them if I score under 90%.

You will find hundreds of very talented members on this forum. It’s a great place to learn fast.
