Introduction - Moses

Hey, my name is Moses. I am 20 years old and currently restarting college. I ended up dropping out of poli sci and changed into business and decided to take trading and learning the markets more seriously. Currently, I consider myself a complete beginner as I have not developed my chartist’s eye. Its still completely random to me, and I have blown probably 2-3 200$ accounts. It’s not too bad, but once I graduate, I believe I can turn this losing game into at least a profitable one.

A couple of my GOALS:

Finish BabyPips
Develop my Own Strategy
Be able to win 250-500 pips consistently every week after graduating.
Meet and connect with like-minded traders who are willing to work together to achieve the same things.

Please feel free to discuss with me any topic, I hope we can all achieve our dreams one day!

Hey there Moses! I too just joined this forum and hope to learn more about the FOREX market. My goal is to be profitable by the end of this year! I haven’t started a live account yet (unlike you I don’t have the confidence :smiley: ), my goal is to start one by August this year. Good luck in college and see you around! :smiley:

Hey Isaac, we can definitely do this man. Just as long as we continue to absorb information, but most importantly apply it. It’s okay to be paper trading, I did that as well, but I came to the conclusion myself that it’s nothing like real trading. I do however only put money I can afford to lose like 1/4 of my paycheck every two weeks. This is our year brother! Hope to see you around as well! Thanks! :smile:

Congratulations, good luck to you.

Good post, but this is fantasy thinking. For starters Forex trading outcomes are mostly sequences of winners and losers - it’s not an income provider like a job. One week you’ll win and the next you’ll lose and so on. How many pips winning or losing is irrelevant and out of context to your capital. % of capital gains is more accurate. If you make 0.5% per week on average you’re doing amazingly great. Seems easy, but it isn’t.

i have a pro trader friend who was over the moon that January trades netted him 2% increase. An APR of 24% would have most pros ringing his doorbell - even the best index linked funds only average around 12% per annum.

Otherwise, it all looks good. Best of luck.

Thanks for this perspective brother! I will definitely take this into in mind with my trading journey. And for sure, nobody every beats the market. Cheers!

Good luck to all of us brother!
