I would like to start this thread off by saying, that I believe that I am now mature enough.
Hello.
My name is Toomas.
I am from Estonia.
I’m currently 22 years old.
I remember the day I turned 18. I was in high-school. And 18 in Estonia means that you are legally an adult. You can buy booze, you don’t need your parents permission anymore. What an overwhelming feeling it was.
Back then I already had an interest in the forex market. I came to this site and went through the school of pipsiology. Well, roughly 1/5th of it. I remember the feeling, I was anxious, greedy and stupid. I didn’t think there was a reason for some age restrictions in the states, to be set at 21. But as it turns out, the last 4 - 5 years, have been the most beneficial and fundamental years of my life yet. THANKFULLY, I had some little speck of sense in me that restricted me to start forex trading, or was it just the lack of money 
. I decided to concentrate on programming studies instead.
Five years later, I’m financially stable. I work as a software developer and generate leftover money monthly [Don’t worry I’m not gonna be pouring any real money in, until I feel comfortable with demotrading, I am a sensible human being after all :)… ]. I also have come to the conclusion, that money and material things don’t make me happy. Spending time with my girlfriend of 4 years does :). Also new challenges make me happy. The feeling you get when you start learning something new and feel you are making progress or being punished for your mistakes. And what greater challenge could I ask for than trying to learn the art of trading.
In addition to that, I have learned to appreciate the most valuable resource. Time. And at my age I have lots of it. So why not use it to learn a useful skill what would benefit my programming also.
Anyways I didn’t intend my introduction to grow as long as it did. I’m currently in the process of thoroughly going through the school of pipsiology again. I’m taking notes and everything :P. Enjoying the community and teachings of veteran traders so far. And the amount of material and QUALITY, that is available on this site, is also baffling. All free… Wow… So thumbs up to the members and editors of this site. See you around!
