How old are you

Age?? …uh…let’s see here…where did I put that drivers license? Coat pocket? Nope…Wallet? Oh yeah, don’t carry a wallet…under the sleeping dog? Yep there it is!! ok so I’m uh…I’m uh…wait lemme get my glasses…there we go I… opps dropped the dang glasses… just a sec… here we go I’m uh 47!!! Yep that’s right 47 …wow how the hell did I get that old?? shows what happens when you’ve been trading for too long.

As I mentioned on another thread I am kind’a retired live on a 40 foot catamaran and mostly sail around staying in one place for a month or three before moving on chasing the sun. With the dollar in the crapper due to over spending by our illustrious leadership (done on purpose to benefit large Corps) I now have to go back to making money again…oh bother! Would someone please increase taxes a little and balance the budget so the dollar will recover and diesel prices will go back down?

I am 17, about to turn 18. I have played with penny stocks and a few big boards, but am reading as much as I can about forex to be ready by the time I am 18.

simple rules

  1. is that currency reallie easy to understand ?
  2. is that currency moved steady ?
  3. is that currency good for long term ?

im 24. Traded stock 1 yr, forex 1 yr, started business since 21

fcuk school… trainers are fakers… schools are for dumboos… real people do real things… you learn by facing doing and failing… dumb people deserves to lose and still dont know what exactly the cause… thats their life… rich people wont exist if dumboos dont… :smiley:

I’m 36. Been in the market since I was 24. I was a stockbroker for 10 years until venturing off on my own.

Good luck to all.

Am 21 and doing pretty good with forex so far.

I like hearing things like this! Now tell me what was the back bone of this success of YOURS?

Well i learned the basics and i continually refresh now and then. I also try to learn different strategies and see how they work and see if they fit my lifestyle. Mostly all the strategies on forums work, but you gotta find one that’ll work with your type of trading. Not learning the basics in the school of baby pips is the worst thing a trader can do. You have to understand why the market is moving, if you don’t say good bye to your equity. I have found the daily time frame to be very profitable for me, and thats all i use. It also fits my lifestyle, am in collage so this time frame works fine. When i started in forex i used smaller time frames and they didn’t work for me. I find dailys to be more accurate and i don’t have to sit in front of my computer all day. I just set my stop loss and profit taking levels and am fine. Daily’s give you a big profit in just one trade and yous save on the spread, the draw down is bigger but am fine with that. The more risk you take the more you’ll get in return, the less risk you take the less you’ll get in return. This is my opinion and what I’ve found that works for me, it may not work for everyone.

To all newbies let me tell you a story: When I started i was to lazy to read the entire school of baby pips. I started demo trading and didn’t know what the hell was going, i lost constantly and gave up. Then i returned and vowed that ill learn everything i needed to learn and to continually learn. Now i have become a very successful trader, and i understand the market more. I want newbies to take the time and learn everything and don’t be part of the 90% that fails. Profitable trading to all.

Well, i’m 35 years old. Wife two kids, house in the suburbs, you know the way your supposed to grow up… lol.

I have a degree in technology, and been working for the last ten years at it. While i’ve always been aware of FX, I never had the free capitol to get into it. You know student loans to pay off, then a mortgage, car payments…etc etc… etc… So now i find I have some money to play with, and took the plunge

Not planing on getting rich via FX but if it can provide a little extra along the way, then that would be great. I enjoy what i do for a living, so no plans to give that up anytime soon. My job is flexible enough that i can watch charts all day if i want to.

Cheers

I,m 31 . Started learning FX when i was 27 part time. Wish i was 18 when i got into it.But then again maybe i wouldn’t have been mature enough because i knew everything.

I’m under 18!!! AHAHAHAHAH lol anyways why does you adults get into forex anyways, you know that 95% of the traders loose right? and even IF you win you wont be winning a lot, thats why there are so many people selling systems that “work” and they do but not really that good… you people with money should really start a business or something since you got money… But for me 100 a week sitting in front of the comp for 1-2 hours is quite good so I’m gona do that for now… dono y u plp trade forex even though you guys know only 5% of the traders succeed… lol dont flame me plz I’m just a kid
