Hello all!

Hi there!

I’m Tom , 26 years old and I live in the Netherlands. I’m totally new to the financial markets and wanted to try something new and exciting besides my full-time job. For the past couple of weeks I have been googling, surfing, and reading about forex. I have created a demo account with Markets.com. Sometimes I try a little open and closing but I think a good basic knowledge is more important in the beginning (correct me if I’m wrong) so I trie to study as much as possible. I just finished reading the dutch version of “Forex for Ambitious Beginners”. And that’s what I am, an ambitious beginner. I’m really attracted to the technical analysis side of the forex market. That’s why I ordered “Technical Analysis Of The Currency Market” from Boris Schlossberg, I’ll receive it next week. Also I want to do the whole Pipsology school at the same time.

I’m hoping ( in the future) with a lot of studying to create a sustainable trading system and earn an extra income next to my job. Also it seems a lot of fun to me!!

Prepare yourselve for a lot of stupid rookie questions for the next couple of months:) !!

Tom
