Hey guys how’s it going? I’m pretty new to forex and babypips but I plan to visit this forum a lot more in the future so I might as we’ll introduce myself. I’m Justin, I’m 21 years old and I’m a finance major at arizona state.

But more importantly, how did you guys get into the world of forex?

For me personally I first heard about it from an old friend of mine and I looked into it. I was (and still am) new to investing and looked into all kinds of different markets but decided that the foreign exchange market best suited my needs.

I’m an engineering student. I found out that working 9-5 sucks, and working for somebody else sucks. It really is just a rat race, and the only ones who win are the ones who don’t participate. I want to avoid that.

I studied stocks in my spare time for a few years before finding Forex. I think it’s a lot more interesting, and much more profitable. I graduate next year, and worst-case scenario (depending on how I perform in the market this year) I’ll have to work for a couple years before I can go full-time. Hoping to do so right out of the gate, but I don’t want to rush it.

Same thing here… except that my work is from 8 to 4 :smiley: I’m new to Forex, and I’m taking this whole thing step by step… but I think I’m on the right track… I find “the school” on babypips very handy and easy to understand…
Thanks :60:
