Hello everyone,
My name is Roman.
I have been experimenting with trading for almost 10 years. I worked in several Forex brokerages, and I am here to help the ānewbiesā with basic questions regarding MT4 and trading in general. I am also interested in having discussions with like minded people.
P.S: I have been using babypips for the last two years and it helps new traders a lot in explaining how things work so I decided to finally register here 
Hi traders. My name is wini ,Iām from South Africa. Iāve got no background when it comes to trading. I hope Iāll learn everything from this forum how to trade.
Hi everybody,
Iām joe from Paris. Iām learning forex since April 2016. I thought i could live trading fast butā¦ real life remained me that itās not wonderlandā¦ anyway. I tryied live trading with a small account of 150$. i lost it tyhe same dayā¦ i was too excitedā¦ 1 month after i tryied again. same amount. I came from 150$ to 450$ in 3 weeks. i get confident and i put bigger lot on trade. i was busy because of opening a shop in paris ( graffiti shop ) and i didnāt manage my tradesā¦ you know what came afterā¦looooooooossssssesā¦ everythingā¦ So! i came here to make my strategie better. i begun from the first lesson. It was kind of boring to read (again) what i thaught i knewā¦ but noā¦ i learned some basics things too. here is my story. i donāt want to pay scammers for āteachingā me what i can find for free on BabyPips. You guys provide so gooooood content and advicesā¦ Now iām building a Real strategie. Stickin with it for a while. Back test. Demo. Small live account. And then. Real live account. working on it everyday. Thereās no secret. If you want to be profitable in forex you have to work a looooooot and hard. Thanks a lot to BabyPips Team. You guys are awesome. Peace
A better outcome, [I]per se[/I], of course, but please excuse my mentioning that itās still indicative of someone trading without yet having learned the skill of appropriate [U]position-sizing[/U].
[U]Longer, slower, very beneficial way of acquiring that skill[/U]: read carefully the book [I]Trade Your Way to Financial Freedom[/I] by Van K. Tharp (without letting the sensationalised title put you off an outstanding and very helpful read) - you might find a PDF copy of the book floating around online, if you look.
[U]Short, fast, less beneficial way of acquiring that skill[/U]: adopt a hard-and-fast rule that under no circumstances will you ever expose more than 1% of your account-total to risk in any individual trade, for at least one year from today.
[U]Additional suggestion[/U]: do your theory learning [B]before[/B] trading on a demo account for several months (screen-time is comparatively wasted without a theoretical knowledge-base, and the difference between someone who has a yearās experience and someone who has a weekās experience repeated 50 times over is that the first person learned the theory [B][U]first[/U][/B]), and do that [B]before[/B] trading with real money.
[U]Key concept[/U]: donāt allow yourself to be led to believe (by comments in forums or anywhere else) that āitās a practical skill that you can only acquire with practice and therefore the sooner you start to practice, the betterā: thatās the way to the poor-house where the other 97% of aspiring traders live! :58:
And good luck, and welcome to the forum. 
Yup, theory very important for beginner.
Need to get it right 1st. Focus on one method and style.
Slowly very slowly. Increase the repertoire of strategy. Eventually go MMA and invent your style.
This is absoslutely key.
Itās sad to see in forums, sometimes, that people can have a method thatās quite soundly based and with some real potential, but because they lose their first few trades they veer away from it and try something completely different before monitoring it over a statistically significant number of trades or backtesting it properly. And then they can end up trading something pretty bad that just happened randomly to produce a few fast winners.
Things take time to assess.
Chopping and changing your methods all the time is another way to that poor-house, Iām afraid.

Cheers mateā¦i kinda feel at home with that reply back,sorta like ābreaking the iceā.
Spending a lotta time at āNewbie Islandā sectionā¦though i have a very shallow idea
about all the technical stuff that goes into trading,i donāt even know where should i
start given the size of the resources available in here,itās like all the oceans have
come together.
Probably will stick with thread likes ātrendlinesā to begin with.Good luck and belated
āThanksgiving Dayā wishes to you and your family from India.

Hello, Iām carlos from Costa Rica.
been learning about forex since a friend of mine joined wealth generators a while back, the guy now seems to be doing pretty good, he also turned himself into an speaker and kind of FX celebrity (i think that is part of how he sells his product).
Im looking forward to learn more about forex, i do reasonably well with my demo account (500USD profit about a month - i try to trade just like i would in my live acount). The thing is, i have no formal education about why to do thingsā¦ it might be just luck, and i want to reduce the luck and replace it with education so i can reduce future risks.
Also, is there anyone from Costa Rica? im looking for a place to get together, learn and trade.
Regards,
-MC-
