Hi im Allen. Im new here

Hi. Im Allen from South Africa. Im kindly new to forex trading and realy keen on learning how to be a trader. Im living from pay check to pay check so i think forex trading can help.

Hi Allen! Definitely feel the stress that comes from living paycheck to paycheck. Forex trading helped me out a ton with that and I hope that it helps you too! Good luck out there

Hellooo Allen. :blush: I hope you’re not thinking about quitting your job. :blush: Having a stable source of income is always great and forex would just help you add on to your sources of additional funds. :smiley: It won’t be easy, but I hope you’re really determined to become profitable! :blush: Good luck!

Welcome to the community, Allen. Glad that you understand that there is a need to learn before jumping in without any knowledge. Start with the education section here. Then as you go along open a demo account to practice what you’re learning. Good luck on your fx trading journey.

Hello and welcome, Allen! Gonna take years of learning before you could rely on it. Take your time and practice on a demo account. Good luck!

Even if you start to get somewhere down the line with forex and are making money ensure you have multiple streams of income. No one source will ever be secure long term so start working on that now to avoid stress down the line.

One correction. FX trading is not an income stream because you can and will lose money. Newbies do not understand that or just ignore it. Social media marketing hype is fantasy land.

I think it can be with time but we’re talking a lot of time and not in terms of your job where you make x per day/week/month or even year. But you’re right ideas of “regularly” clearing 10k a day and living on a yacht are fantasy.

Welcome to the forum Allen, right away get started with the school of pipsology, good luck.

I am glad that you have decided to give forex trading a shot! There are some great things that you can get from being part of the babypips community. Cheers
