Trying something new in life. Adding forex to my income sources. cant wait to learn put in the works and become a profitable trader.
A little bit about myself.
I am a 32 year old full time professional poker player, hoping to use that to my advantage from the all the experience I’ve gained from playing poker. hopefully there are a lot of skills I would be able to use in the forex world.
Welcome. Yes, your emotional control skills would be a major factor in FX trading. Many newbies lose their capital because they have Hulk moments - it only takes one large losing trade to hit their bankroll.
So patience and discipline are key components, as is not chasing losses. Manage money and risk.
However, there is a large learning curve, which could be compared to your poker graduation to a pro. It takes time and is a huge challenge to become proficient - the market is King Kong always, doesn’t give a damn about you, and won’t give anything back to you, ever.
best of luck.
