Hey BabyPips fam.
I’m a complete noobie. No experience in trading but hopefully with the knowledge offered by this site and this community, I’d love to change that. Covid killed the film industry so knocked out my income till it starts back up…eventually…maybe…someday…I have lots of a free time.
Been curious about trading and Forex for years, but never have taken the initiative to LEARN until this week. Honestly driven to BP’s after seeing friends on social media publicizing their success. They had started into IM.Academy, but after a bit of research, I didn’t want to get involved with any MLM centric company. Through research about it, many paths pointed back to this site as a “why pay when literally you can learn the same stuff or more on BabyPips”.
So here I am, going to start going through the material and start absorbing knowledge. I’ll be lurking and learning.
Cheers.

Welcome KonkaBass! Yes, there’s a lot of free resources available online. Babypips free education is a good start. Good luck on your new journey!
Welcome- and, you’ve said/done all the right things so far. Stay on that path and realize that there are going to be massive downs, and massive ups. It’s stairs on the way up, elevator on the way down- but you need to remain persistent.
Open up a demo account, get comfy with the platform (placing buy/sell orders).
Once comfy, open a live account and throw in money that you can lose.
Trade with a live account for 3-6 months and then start to think about scaling your buying power.

Hi KonkaBass and welcome to the forum. Your introduction is superb. “You chose wisely”. And you are right about the School of Pipsology being a free resource. Good luck with it. Ask your friend(s) how much they spent on courses, use half of that to start your trading bank. Half of it, just in case you blow your account up. But you won’t do that because School of Pipsology will teach you about position sizing and risk/reward ratios. Best of luck.

Great place to start. No need to pay for expensive courses especially to learn the basics. Stay humble, expect to lose and remember the markets are not being personal lol. Good luck!!
