Im 23 turning 24 come December, been trading the forex for 2 1/2 years, Im down $900 from the time i went live, but its a lot better then giving it away to those high yield investment program that i was doing good at until Scampay killed everything. Now i graduated and starting my master in MIS, so i need to succeed fast in forex so i can pay the $40000 in loans and retire by the time i hit 39. thats my dream so to be reality.
Hi!
I donāt think that success is a matter of age, but of an attitude, whether you trade for a living of just to spnd time and get some extra penny.
Iām 24, trade forex for already a year.
Good trading for everybody!
Hey I just turned 15 and iāve been trading on a demo account for 1 and a half months now and going live soon. Iāve been trading stocks for a year with a few thousand. I just spend a lot of time trading making money with my pay cheques from McDonalds haha. Iād like to talk to anyone who wants to share what they do and talk on msn while trading EUR/USD and USD/JPY to see how other people trade.
Plus he said
I am 24 years and have been trading 4x for 3 1/2 years. I just bought a Lamborghini Murcielago LP 640.

Iām in my mid 30s.

30 and been trading forex for less than a year.
Who cares?
19 im a youngy
- The internet has opened up a whole new world (www no pun intended)
for so many people.
Im 24. Iām working on the Demo at FXCM. Working on starting my real account next month.
im 20 and trying to make some money for college, so far no success :[
In response to TopGunsā post. Iām 25 and know exactly what you are on about.
I just turned 23 and Iām in the middle of a career crisis already. Basically, I have completed most of a degree I donāt want to finish because itās going to get me a mind numbingly boring, non-flexible job I wonāt enjoy.
Iām working for my parents business and teaching myself how to trade currency while I wait until mid next year to start another degree. Maybe.
My father has never worked for anyone but himself, and I guess thatās what Iām aiming for, too. I have friends who are engineers and lawyers, who work 12 hour days with very few holidays - doing stuff their employer bills clients 10x their hourly pay for. That doesnāt appeal to me at all - I want to be able to go away for the week, I want to be able to hit the golf course at least once a week, I want to be able to work from anywhere with my laptop and internet connection, I want to have relative freedom of working hours to work around my sleep problems. Forex fits the bill nicely, but I know itās going to be a long and rocky road.
My short term goal is to trade while I travel around South East Asia on the cheap!
That is the ultimate goal except Iād want to golf twice a week and buy a 50k membership in Florida somewhere . In the meantime it is great taking advantage of my employers time to learn FX. I trade & read all day to improve my trading while waiting for computer problems to occur. I hope none of my employers read this

Sorry for this late reply. I missed your post!
I have been trading with a small $400 account instead of a demo for about 8 months and I am finally going from B/E to making a profit and being more consistent. I plan on doing this for the rest and the year before going live in 2008. Unfortunately I donāt have the cash to go live so I am thinking of borrowing from my 401k or taking a loan to trade with. I figure I would pay the loan back with the same money I borrowed, plus collect interest from my unused FX funds in my account, plus earning profits from my year of patience & practicing. On the other hand if I borrowed from my 401k I would just pay myself the money & interest back so it would be a win/win situation. I could never go FT with this until atleast a full year or two of consistent profits and saved up funds to support my family. Insurance & schooling are not cheap, and neither are my golf habits!!
[B]P.S:[/B] For the skeptical people out there I know I can also lose $$$ but I cannot even consider that option because this is a buisness that I have been planning to start for years, hence all the preparation

Iām happy with my $1000 membership at the club thatās about a two minute drive away Since Iām technically still a student, itās $500 a year - very cheap. We get koalas and echidnas and all sorts of other cool animals up there too
Waiting for computer problems to occurā¦ sounds like my job at the moment!
I am 54, therefore an old geyser. I am a retired highschool teacher (maths, physics, chemistry).
I live here in Western Australia (the best country in the world to live in) and the sea here is beautiful.
I still love going windsurfing.
