Newbie from France - Currently in Florida!

Hey pipbuddies!

I’m currently based on Delray Beach, Florida and I’m very much looking forward to being more active in this friendly community as well as becoming a Forex master!

I have been interested in the markets for a long time now but never took the plunge. Until I met a friend who is a 20+ year professional trader and was kind enough to show me the ropes.

I have been demo trading for 2 months now and placed 13 trades, 11 of which were winners! beginners luck I think.

My main issue so far has been when to get out, I have left a lot of pips on the table or sometimes watched potential profits shrink or even become losses because i stayed in the market longer than planned! any advice on exit strategy would be greatly appreciated!

I am planning on going live in January and look forward to becoming better at this. I hope someday I will be trading full time and traveling the world doing it… and maybe own an aston martin with a tag that says born2pip!

anyways, thanks for reading and see you in the forum!

Au revoir
