Hi Onyeka! 
Welcome to the BabyPips community! Happy to have you here.
Iām a newbie myself and still demo trading. Iāve finished the school of pipsology but I read through it from time to time! 
How far into the lessons are you?
What field of engineering ? if i may ask
also FYI
our friend here @ria_rose is an emotional engineer
she can define a single emotion (any emotion) hehe
with AN EMOTICON LOL 
Me ā¦ i only have 1 Emotion ā¦
thatās it
Ria has an infinite number of emotionās and if there is an emoticon that cannot describe how she is feeling.
she will get someone to code a new one for her
hehe
Hey, im also from Ghana and i got advice for you. its quite simple, you cannot trade after 2 months, unless u want to throw away money. A good place to start is to go through babypips.comās school of pipsology. stick to this, dont read other things until you are done with this.
Thanks man for your advice
Hi Yaāll, A new newbie just landed a month ago 
,
already made more losers than winners, itās painful seing money leave my trading account pip by pip, iāve learned a lot though in the past couple of weeks. so since i made many losses, each of which i take as a learning curve, i seem to have learned a lot. Still have a long way to go thoughā¦
glad to be hereā¦
in that learning curve, have you learned that you should be on a demo account and not live ?
Hello my name is Syntia, Iām still new to trading. I am from Chicago but currently live in Atlanta. I have two boys and I enjoy being a mother which is what increased my interests in forex trading. I like the idea of being able to be at home with my kids and still make a decent living at the same time. My ultimate goal is to become an expert and pass this knowledge down to my boys as they get older. Itās also great for retirement when you think long term. Iām hoping to learn a ton from this group!

Hello Syntia my name is Martin,
i trade successfully , been in trading for 7 years
Mate, iāll give you this bit of advice because i feel i can relate to you.
- My wife is in childcare, and i understand how parents have it .
my wife has to make scrapbooks for parents that donāt have time to be home to watch their kids grow, because they have to work
itās sad,
they literally watch their kids grow up in a scrap book
THE MOMENTS that you want to treasure, they are not there for them,
i understand , but itās still sad
anywayā¦ Point is ā¦ I GET IT
My sister has 2 little boys, 11 and 13
when they hit 18 i am also going to do what you contemplate.
iām going to teach my little nephews how to trade PROPERLY and be financially free
but NOT TO BABY THEM through life also
nowā¦ i know how to trade, THIS IS THE DIFFERENCE
LET ME GIVE YOU THIS ADVICE
- First of all, you can plan their life all you want, but if they do not know how to collect their emotions and control it, THERE IS NO TRADING FOR THEM.
and if they try they will lose everythingā¦ I promise you that.
i am currently teaching the boys how to control anger, little by little, and how to control aggression, how to release it in a healthy way, how to not worry about things that donāt need to be worried about. HOW TO PROCESS STRESS.
this is more important than trading
- the IDEA of being at home with your kids while trading is beautifulā¦ HOWEVER ,KEEP IN MIND that THAT IDEA does not turn into
Mommy is at home crying in front of the computer or got the shytes because she just lost every penny she hadā¦ ok
soā¦ a beutufil thing can quickly turn into a bad thing
and it can go from
BEING HOME WITH THE KIDS AND ENJOYING THE QUALITY TIME WHILE EARNING A LIVING
to
BEING AT HOME WITH THE KIDS AND BEING BROKE AND LOST EVERYTHING
be careful. ok
-
then YOU NEED TO BE CALM before trading
-
Thenā¦ you need to actually learn how to trade so you can teach them
-
if you pull off the learning process and the emotional thingā¦ Retirement will come quicker than you think
i give it say 4 years after you LEARN (Assuming you do )
soā¦ keep that in mind. ok
I hope it happens for you, but there are a lot of variables to consider before this takes off
donāt get caught in THATā¦ WORK FROM HOME MUM CRAPā¦ ok
if you want to know if forex worksā¦ IT DOES
but in certain conditions and with a broker that will not stuff you around
thereās a lot to consider
soā¦ be careful and take careā¦ ok
thanks for the advice!

Hi there
Iām Dom. Iām originally from Germany but Iām currently living in the UK.
Iām a Digital Product Designer and just recently stumbled upon Forex trading in general.
For me itās probably even more interesting to get an understanding of the underlying complexities of the current trading products and platforms and to find areas that could potentially be improved.
Iām really looking forward learning from all of you.

Hi @Heero_5! Welcome to the BabyPips.com community! You will definitely learn a lot here in the forums but the best place to start is through the School of Pipsology. Have you had the chance to check it?
Good luck and see you around! 
Iām a bit late on the welcome. But, welcome to the BabyPips community @Heero_5! Of course you could be part of this community! 
There are also a lot of helpful members here. I hope I could be one of them someday. 
Just like what baemax has mentioned, the school here is a great forex education source!
Hello traders,
My name is Paul from the UK and very new to trading, demo traded for a while then decided to open a live account which has kept my finger nails short ever since. I have been trading on a live account for about 5 months and still use the demo account to try out new ideas. I originally started out looking into shares as somewhere to invest but somehow ended up with Forex.
I started out reading books, trawling the internet and I then discovered the school of pipsology which is perfect for beginners like me and have nearly completed it with the plan to probably go through it all again at least one more time.
I have also never posted or been a member of any forum before so hopefully all this has ended up in the right place and look forward to being part of the community.
Hi everyone,
Iām a semi retired mature aged Forex student living in Australia. Iām 9 years in the game. I have a lot of experience in seeing how markets behave and Iāve tried, tested and traded a thousand possible systems. Iāve system hopped from forum type systems to purchased systems and my own invented systems. What I have discovered for myself is that they all work and then they all donāt work referring to the the signals generated by the systems. The main problem I have is actually trading distraction free, and then getting up off the canvas and taking the next signal after or during a losing trade. I suppose taking the next step towards professionalism has its own set of demons like fear of failure and fear of losing breathing down your neck, this doesnāt help the cause.
Anyway Iāve been and seen a lot of forums and blogs and this one is quite friendly so Iāve come over to say hello and pick up a few tips, share some of my experiences, help out where possible and meet some like minded people and so on. BTW I completed the School of pipsology many years ago, it does have a different look to it today but I still recommend it to anyone that I meet that is wanting to learn forex.
Good day to allā¦
