Hello everyone. My name is Phil and I am 54 years of age. I have worked as a software developer for 25 years and I am looking to expand my knowledge of currency trading. I have purchased ‘Currency Trading for Dummies’ to get started with.
I am interested in the forex market as a way to supplement my income and looking forward to learning more and interacting with everyone here.
Welcome Phil! 
How’s the book going for you? You might want to demo trade and test out a simple strategy for beginners. 
Hi. First and foremost, learn HOW NOT TO LOSE MONEY. Your initial aim is to be a competent trader, which will take months of hard work. This education site will send you on your way to learning new skills as you progress. Treat it seriously and you have a chance of succeeding.
FX is simple, but not easy, not by a long chalk, and you’ll get what the market throws at you which, profit wise, is never guaranteed. Take it easy one step at a time, see if FX trading suits you and your lifestyle.
Best of luck
