seems like there are alot of you that are going to start to know how it feels to lose your money! I know If I first started in Forex, I would have went broke very fast. Iāve been trading for 4 yrs now, trading stocks and options. Iāve done it for a living for sometime now and have just begun to be profitable last year. Just started trading forex last week. I have no debt, all liquid. Iām 22
hi everyone, Iām new to the forums, and I figured this would be a cool intro thread to post to.
Iām 23, I started learning how to trade when I was 22, demoed for about a year while working, and am now live trading and lovinā it. Wouldnt Trade it for the world LOL.
iām 23ā¦ using FX to pay for my school fees onlyā¦ lol! looking to trade for a living after grudat.
32 here in the great white northā¦ just getting started, looking to go full time when I can consistantly generate the same daily rate as Iām making nowā¦ So weāll seeā¦

Good for you Topgunā¦Iām apparently from the āold schoolāā¦Iāll be 45 this yearā¦and have been where you have alsoā¦laid off from a techie jobā¦and still doing thatā¦keep plugging away so can free yourselfā¦
Iām curious as to how close you areā¦or feel that you are to that goal of FT FX traderā¦
20 Years of Age right here.
My bones, my muscles, my brain, my skinā¦ all 20 years oldā¦ it freaks me when i say it like that sometimes.
With health on my side, i should be trading for at least another 50 years 
By then i shud be rich enough to hit SELL/BUY at home and take ur stop losses out on the other side of the world 
So if youāre learning to trade around the year 2057 and youāre wondering why u get stopped out even tho ur TA is dead onā¦ITS meā¦meeeeeeeeee muahahahaha

I like Colinās idea so Iāll say Iām 34 years old. Iām a firefighter. Had a bad accident recently. Everything turned out alright but it really did open my eyes to the necessity of making sure I am financially secure should I suffer another major accident and not be able to perform as a firefighter.
Have been learning about this trading game for 18 months now and am making good progress. Hope to be consistantly profitable within another 18 months.
Cheers,

hey iām 46 and just started in forex. wish i would have know about forex 20 years ago, i be out of the working rat race & be my own boss.hope it comes soon. still trading just demo will trade real money in the next 2 mo.
Iļæ½ve just turned 30 and have been in the FX market for 4 years and before that other Fixed Income markets. Always working for banks but never trading my own book and Iļæ½m starting to think I want to give it a try.
Bon chance boys and girls:)
Iām 42, coming to FX a bit late in life. but like so many things in the āexpertā sectors, the big boys have been playing it up for so long and so hard that it frightens all but the most hardy/foolhardy/rich away. I only recently started seriously searching for learning material and found my way here after loking at lots of āeasy forex schemesā that did not seem to me to be as easy as they claim!
Trading an under funded demo account proved this very quickly indeed.
Iām optimistic about becoming a trader, but I will trade demos untill Iām sure I have a system and my head sorted for losing as well as winning. 4 small losses on my āunder fundedā account left me with 30% drawdown and not understanding why it was going downhill so rapidly. After all I never got a margin call, I did the sums and set realistic stops, I just got stopped out a few times, sometimes a spike and sometimes a real reversal!!
I think it may be easier for yung uns to deal with that, you havenāt got the 25 years indoctrination to the "employee mindset " to deal with!! I should have looked at this years ago properly, Iāve never risen very far as an employee - I always end up telling employer where to get off, a fairly career limiting path!!
Good luck to everyone - young or old!!
Hey everybody im 32 almost 33. I am trying to learn as much as humanly possible about forex. I have a real account and i trade micro lots. But I am persistant and I know soon ill be trading real money.
Thanks, John
Forty one but ageing very quickly now after opening a live account!!!
Very interesting thread. Iām almost 40.
I have been an investor in various markets since 18. My trading experiences range from commodities to muni bonds to real estate. I havenāt had a real job in years. (TopGun would appreciate my last job title: Target for Middle Management Hostility. )
I have kept an eye on 4x for several years. Only in the past few years has there been sufficient regulation in place to ālegitimizeā the markets for retail investors. 4x trading should not be your only source of current income. If you have never traded anything before in your life, then you have chosen a very difficult instrument with which to start. I donāt want to discourage anyone. Just suggesting that itās best to go slow at first. Sorry about the rambleā¦
Whaaaatttupppp!!!
Just joined BabyPips last week. Great Site!
Iām 27 and have been trading for 6 years! Look out for my posts.
Thanks

Iām 17 and started learning 4x when I was 16.
Hi All,
I am 36. Started working for Big Accounting firm after shool and survived for three years in the āSweat Shop.ā Then, I started my own business and sold it after three years for a good sum that I could retire with. Refused to give my money to Mutual Funds and Wall Street and started trading everything (equities, options, futures, commidities) except FOREX. I trade PT just to manage my money and earn some returns and also have another small business that I ran.
FX freaked the hell out of me because of the absence of central market or regulatory agency. Just getting into it as a toddler.
Cheers:D
as of tomorrowā¦twenty foe!!
