Welcome welcome Ronnie! 
You’ve been through quite a lot 
But I admire the spirit to push through. 
I also wouldn’t say I’m a profitable trader, but hopefully, this will be the year we change that! Do you plan to start a trading journal here or sumth? 
Good luuuuck!

Hi
I’m new here. I’ve been trading ETF and indices for 2,5 years. Earned 20-40% in that time and looking for some help to become a real trader. Any help or tip is welcome.
Welcome to babypips, @Moonchild84. Your joining the community is a step in the right direction towards attaining your goal of being a consistently profitable trader. I will not sugarcoat the fact that the journey may be quite daunting in the beginning, and it is at this stage that a good many beginners throw in the towel. If you have determination and passion for the game the odds are on your side you will take your place among successful traders in the future. As you begin this journey don’t forget to enjoy every step. The goal is to make pips, keep pips, and repeat. Good luck.
