I happened to stumble upon the babypips site not too long ago, and boy, I’m happy that I did. I feel like I’ve gone from roaming aimlessly on suspect trading websites & crushing various demo accounts (in the bad way) to finally building a good foundation for my future in forex at the babypips school. I’m still finding my way but I’ve got nothing but time.
Here’s a little bit of my story – I’m licensed to practice law here in the States and I currently reside in Dixie. My 9-5 (or maybe more accurately 7:30-5:30, generally) is for a big oil & gas company where I work on the contracts side of things. I have been on a rig a few times but I undoubtedly looked and felt very out of place there. I’m very competent at my J-O-B but my passion has always been the markets. What started out way back in high school with penny stocks as the all too common desire to “get rich quick” has mutated and methodically turned into what I call “get rich slow”. I learned early on that I don’t like most indicators and that they don’t like me, so I basically look at price action, support & resistance, and some Fibo levels, which, luckily enough, seem to fit into many threads here on babypips. I’m still working on refining my analysis and reviewing what went right and what went wrong in each of my trades. Money management seems to be the feral beast that I need to tame in order to get to consistent profitability…which just so happens to be my first goal.
I haven’t posted before and I haven’t been a member for very long, but I feel like I already know a lot of the folks who frequently show up here. The willingness of everyone to share and help out creates a very welcoming and comfortable environment for newbs like me, something that is definitely appreciated and can be all too uncommon. I may not post much in the near future until I believe that I’ll be able to add something of value but in the meantime I’ll be honing my craft and looking forward to the day that I may be able to start my own thread and help others who are trying to find their way, much like babypips and its members have helped me.
So may the supports hold (or break depending on your bias), breakouts be true (or false depending on your strategy), and may the Yen continue to be weak (you’ve gotta build your trading confidence somehow)!
Thanks Babypips!
