Heya guys!
I’d just like to introduce myself, my name is Eric, 24 years old! and I think this website and forum aboslutely rock!
First and foremost, I’d like to thank the people that put together the EXCELLENT, and i mean EXCELLENT Forex school program… I seriously applaud you! Not only did you make it easy, but you made it FUN! I have been up for the past 3 night studying, and reading things over.
Its funny how I found out about Forex, I own a small car operation - specializing in import/sport compacts, etc. I did alot of buying in the United States, so I was always ontop of the exchange rate. It does fairly well, and my profit margins are usually within the 6-10,000$ /mnth. But I have ALOT of free time! Enough to drive my wife mad …
I remember reading bullish, bearish, support and resistances and thinking to myself “what the hell are these guys talking about for christsake…” Even downloaded a trading program and I’d just click buttons -Never really took any interest in it!
BUT, I LOVE a challenge! and learning new things, and obviously, I’d like to be anywhere in the world and have FINANCIAL FREEDOM! I’m having ALOT of fun with the demo program, especially today when I started into the market @ approx 4PM EST and made over $550 with short-term /scalping trades…
I use indicators, but I prefer going with trends and use zig zag motions to determine the swings. As you can see below, some of these are real short 2 min trades, and even some 30 min ones that netted decent gains! (at least in my eyes they are! )
Its too bad I didn’t stick out with the USD/CDN, (the 117$ profit) It would have been $632 if I waited another bit, the US sank. All my other trades, I pulled out a bit to early in the eur/jpy and usd/cdn again. Rather be safe then sorry for now! Still a n000000bie and learning.
I’m having ALOT of fun with this, the past 5 days, i have been eating, sleeping, and even dreaming of graphs and fibs and numbers. I realize its a long road ahead, LOTS of learning to do - but I’d like this to be a full-time job for me one day. Guess I gotta start with a dream, don’t I ?
