My name’s Persephonie! I’m 18, and I currently live in Las Vegas. I’m very excited to get into Forex. I’ve been interested in trading stocks and investing money since I won the California Stock Market Games all the way back in 6th grade, even beating out the high schoolers. I attended a small Forex meeting last night with my mother, and I’m utterly excited of the life changes diving into something like Forex could bring.
Such a pretty naaame! Welcome to BP @Persephonie! I’m so excited to have another girl here. Haha. I think you’re lucky that you got to know forex at a pretty young age. Are you going through the school here?
Thank you! I’m glad to add to the female population here then. Haha
And I haven’t started the schooling here on Babypips yet, but I’m going to later on today.
good luck persephonie. welcome to the BP forums. i know a lot of people who started off with stocks and are now in forex. at least you have a background.
I hear good and bad things from having a background in stocks. Supposedly, its easier if you’re good with studying the rise and fall of the numbers and graphing it, which is why and how I beat out the other students. But, I also heard that when you’re deep rooted in the Stock market mindset of “Selling High and Buying Low”, you can end up sabotaging yourself while trading with Forex. I’m hoping that because I don’t have an immense amount of experience in stocks that I can move past that constrictive concept.
Hello Persephonie! You’ve got a great trading background at a young age. I hope to see more of you here as you go through your forex journey. Good luck!
Definitely go through it a couple times before dropping money on something else. Seriously, there’s so much to learn. Start here. I’m working through it too. Welcome!
