Good morning everyone, just wanted to take a minute to introduce myself.
I started in the world of forex in 2008 with an internship at GFSforex on Wall Street which led to an IB position. They soon went out of business and moved their accounts to a UK firm. I went rouge and became a home based retail trader.
I’m currently studying for my series 3, with the hopes of doing another internship soon and getting sponsored.
I am a pattern and ratio trader, with slight emphasis on fundamental analysis.
I’m currently trading two demo accounts with Alpari and FXDD. I’ll be getting back into real money soon with a micro account.
I’m 27 years old, I was born and raised in NYC, and forex is my passion!
Well to be completely honest they hire people of all different backgrounds and personality types. I have a degree in finance, with no forex background at the time and it just so happened that they called me after sending them my resume off of craigslist.
Companies are always looking for fresh young minds, people who have a different way of looking at the market you know? Broker positions are mainly sales and seminars, so that comes down to personality and how you speak.
Nice happy birthday… You’re in wap falls? How old are you? We probably know the same people haha i have friends up there. small world for sure… If you need help with anything let me know
Haha thanks! I am from Wappingers Falls just turned 23 (I know i’m young !), currently residing in Fishkill with my mother and working in Newburgh as an IT Tech. id like to move down, right outside the city somewhere in Jersey in the next 6 months with my GF depending on finances and such.
Very small world indeed.
Funny I looked in the thread, since day trading Forex for a major company always intrigued me. Day trading for a living intrigued me even more lol.
Welcome NYC trader! I’m 21 and relatively new to the world of Finance/Forex but it’s nice to see I’ll be in the company of traders all ages and levels of experience.
