Hey there I am new to this I heard about it from someones instagram. I am 32 and a single father to my amazing son Cairo. Do to covid and shut downs I lost my job. I have been looking into finding new work but being a single father and day cares either are closed or raised prices. I spend all my time with my son while selling paintings and drawings. I want to learn as much as possible to better myself and make a better life for my son. I hope everyone has an amazing day.
Nowadays people are gaining interest in trading due to covid-19.
Welcome to BabyPips. Keep doing the paintings and drawings selling. If you have spare time, go to the Education section at the top of the forum and start reading the School of Pipsology. Try to take the quizzes in each section and re-read if you don’t get the right answers.
I would advise not to be in a hurry to open an account. Take your time. Open a demonstration account first where you play with monopoly type money, before you lose any real money. Best of luck. Many on here will help you
Yes, life is tough in this Covid environment. Sorry to hear about your circumstances.
To be sincerely truthful, I would suggest you focus on your paintings and drawings as a source of income, not FX trading. which is highly speculative, high risk and with no guarantees you’ll make money, ever.
There is no short cut. Social media hype is fantasy land.
To become a competent trader, which should be your first aim, you’ll need to spend months, if not years, in learning specialist skills - the learning process never ends. It’s tough, brutal, and a huge challenge awaiting. The FX market doesn’t know you, doesn’t care about you, and it sure won’t give anything back to you.
Keep risk low, protect your capital all the time, and don’t overtrade, revenge trade or gamble. Then you have a better chance of being successful.
Best of luck.
