Hi susan
Binary trading is way too risky than the normal forex trading. if you the strategies and how to use the tools you can be successful in trading otherwise it sounds like gambling.
Hi Samantha
You are absolutely in the right community and every body here is for learning. I have been trading for the past 5 and a half years. If you need any help please feel free to ask.
:58: Hi. I’m Mary Hadhad and I’ve been trading over a year now. I did a little on demo but most in small cash amounts. I’m down quite a bit but always had this cash [3K] put aside on the basis of it been an investment on my trading journey. I’ve been self employed for most of my life and one consistent reality we all face when running a business is that you are going to have to budget for costs. In this way I’m a little philosophical about the merits of loosing while learning how to trade.
I’ve been watching the Baby Pip’s site over the past few weeks and find it very transparent and informative. The idea of learning how to trade from my experience can be broken down into two phases. To begin with you need to come to terms with the language and mechanics of trading. Things like which sort of platform is right for you? Do you require a dedicated signals platform such as E Signal? Or can you source enough from an MT4 platform? Or for that matter your broker platform? You ought to consider what proportion of your budget you are prepared to invest towards where and how you’re going to read charts! Secondly, you need to try out which form or order suits you and your personality best. Do you, for instance use the OHCL or Japanese Candles? Which MA’s and for that matter the aesthetic layout of your chart! You need to establish a clear understanding of [lagging] indicators such as MACD and Stochastic. You need to practice using chart tools such as trend lines and Fib’s. Finally, in this first phase of your learning you really need to commit to some degree of ownership in terms of having a plan which you personalise into a template that will reflect back to you what sort of trader you are [or are becoming].
If the above sounds like a lot, it is! And from my experience, all the above can be explored on a demo account combined with You Tube webinars and lessons.
The second phase is even more fun. Once you’ve opened you broker account and start trading a new phase of experience will visit you – irrespective of whether you win or lose. It can almost be described as ‘real’ once the theory is translated into practice and this phase will remain on-going while you continue your journey in trading. While you begin to cherry pick what’s right for you [based on past experience] you are always exposed to the unpredictable character of the market, so it’s never dull. It is at this stage I find your Baby Pip’s useful in its balance of philosophy and process.

Hi everybody!

Hi Guys. I’m ohoraherecaptain - read as three words - my surname, O’Hora and the ‘here Captain’ is a throwback to Star Trek’s Lieutenant Uhura. It’s cryptic but sense no one else tends to use it, I never find I have to come up with a different username on websites!
I posted last week that “This is a top website. Rest assured.” as I didn’t have much time. I’ve been looking at Baby Pips for at least six months and find much of what they say useful to my trading plan. I only trade FX and just a few currencies as I found I wasn’t getting far - jumping from one pair to the other. At least now I’m beginning to famularise myself with the character of certain currency’s price movement[s].
I’m also getting email recently on ‘Binary Options’ which - if any of you know anything about - or better still, trade, I’d really appreciate you sharing your experience.
Cheers.

Hello everyone, my screen name is kahlesstiberius, yes it is a long winded name, but I like it!! And for those who must know what it means, its a star trek thing!! Tiberius being captain kirk’s middle name, and the kahless (pronounced Kay-less) is the name of the first klingon, a race of warriors, who’s hearts are strong and whom seek glory.
Yes I do like sci-fi!!! !
But like those klingon warriors, I will hunt those pips until I can hunt them no more.
In all seriousness, I want to say thankyou to the babypips for the school of pipology as it has helped me to understand that Forex trading isn’t as daunting as I first thought, I wish I’d thought to do it years ago!
Only having demo traded, and failed miserably, I decided to do more research and boy do I mean research!!! And with the help from babypips, I feel more informed and more confident now than I did before.
It’s Great, Welcome Here. I hope You will get benefit or learn something in this forum.

Hi All,
My Name is “A Good Trader” because that is what I hope to become (Haven gone for “THE” Good Trader so I can get on Dr. Pipslow radial ). I am a Nigerian presently living in the UK. I am a newbie and I can see the journey ahead is quite daunting but interesting at the same time haven read some comment on this site and many others.
I am a married man expecting my first daughter in few months and I presently work as a software developer. I spend most of my days glued to the screen doing what programmers do best but honestly, I would rather stay glued to the screen doing financial analysis. My hope is to become a profitable trader and set up some sort of fund management company back in my home country. Most Nigerians are not aware of these potential avenues and great opportunities available around the world and I would love to be the pioneers of such development and advancement in my country.
I am a graduated of the school of Pipsology like many of us (I would like to believe and encourage other if not) and I am one track to get my hands dirty. I would have loads of questions and I plead that fellow alumina would come to my aid at time of needs.
Thanks
A Good Trader
HI,my name is Mark and I am new to Forex and trading. I have completed pip school and its not the money for me its the game I am interested in. I find it fascinating and intriguing and very mentally stimulating and I would like to find a mentor that will show me the ropes.
I have a demo account with 74,000 so far (not bad for 2 months) and can’t wait to get into the real arena.
I come from a place and time where amazing things happened (bay area California circa 1980.
Anyway I hope to become a Forex guru and possibly make this my next entrepreneurial adventure.
I am in the auto business and have started owned and helped others start their own shops.
I am also finally finishing up my bachelors degree at 45 guess its a never to late mentality.
Hi to Babypips forum people. I just started, I am at preschool learing about charts. I wanted to ask when a good time to start a demo is???
