Haaayy Im Elyse, 32, new to Forex/pips & the whole community. I don’t even know if pips and forex are interchangeable words or are 2 totally different things. I’m a 2nd grade teacher from LA county. I’m usually busy w/work but I’ve heard good things about trading so I want to start dedicating some of my free time learning about this, hopefully learn enough to make some profits 
Welcome Elyse! Take your time learning and good luck on this new journey!
Welcome to the community, Elyse. They’re different things. Start with the education section here. Good luck and hope to hear more from you in the future.
