Najibsalaam -making it do what it do-

Hello everyone,

I am Najib from Ft Lauderdale by way of washington dc and a newbie to Forex. I mean brand new just found out about it last month during the quarantine. I came across it buying and selling stock (brand new to that to) Thought it look complicated so i never bothered to look to deeply until i came across babypips. The education part made it a lot more understandable. I am learning at a rapid pace but I have butterflys with getting started. I am a security guard so I learn while I earn. Make trades as I ride the clock. Right now just having fun watching my money grow. I have no big plans or expectations other than that. If I get better at this then maybe I will set higher goals for myself. In the mean time I will entertain myself, make a few extra dollars and hopefully meet some cool people doing the same.

Good approach to take when starting to learn. A common pitfall is paralysis by analysis- so only bite off what you can chew. There is a ton of crap out there as well, and, unfortunately the only way you know it’s crap is after you’ve spent your own hard earned cash on it (signal service, “algos”, learn-to-trade scams). Just be smart and if something doesn’t pass the immediate sniff test, move on. Listen to your gut.
