Hello. My name is Kenny aka Trinipips7811. I am from the caribbean isle of Trinidad and Tobago and a nebie to babypips. I have a basic knowledge about trading as my wife has been practicing demo for about 1 year now. I was guided to this site and thus far I find the school of pipsology to be interesting and enticing. My aim is to educate myself to become a successful trader. I am a fulltime employee in the energy industry but I want to master trading to be my main source of income. I look forward to learning from this team of traders and newbies as we all aim towards a somewhat common goal.

Hello everyone. Iām Tibbiron, Tibbs for short. I am new to Forex trading. I have been doing a large amount of reading for the last couple of months before I stumbled upon BabyPips.com. I started the School of Pipsology 2 days ago. I am currently in Middle School (never thought I would say that again) and have to say I have learned more in the last 2 day from this training then I have over the last 2 months. I have gotten bits and pieces from different areas of the web, but never so much in one, fantastic form that makes a lot if the info I had clear for the first time. I really appreciate the time that you put into creating this program. I look forward to many, many, many hours of reading and learning, to better improve my odds of becoming a Forex Trader. Thank you for allowing me to be here. Have a great day.

Welcome to BP @Trinipips7811 and @Tibbiron! 
Itās nice to see more people getting interested in forex trading! I wouldnāt consider myself a real trader yet, but this community has helped me so much in my journey. 
I hope we could help you guys too! Welcome agaiiin!
My pleasure! Haha. How are you enjoying the school so far? Are you demo trading alongside reading in the school?
I havenāt started a demo just yet. I want to have a good understanding of what I am doing before I start. Donāt want to have to try to break any bad habits I might form before i know what i am doing. Once I have completed the program, thatās when I intend to start using the demo account. Not sure who I am going to use yet. Plan to research a few of them based on recommendations from here. But so far I am really enjoying the school and love the format, as well as the amount of information all in one place. Once completed I should have a firm grasp on the basics of Forex. Although I know there will be plenty more to learn.
Youāre very welcome! Haha. I hope you also feel comfortable with sharing you trading journey with us. 
Hello Trinipips7811! Welcome to BabyPips! You may want to try demo trading while going through the School. It helps in understanding the school lessons better.
Good luck with the School of Pipsology!
Thank you baemax023. I already havery a demo account and Iām practicing as I read. Good looking out!

Thatās great! Do you have a trading journal to share? Or are you planning to start one here in the forums?
Hello, TheBeck here.
Iām from the chicago area. In 2003 a friend of mine starting taking stock investing/trading classes and asked me to join him. To date Iāve invested and lost about $50k in trading and classesā¦ more than that if I include the choice I made to take a fixed job retirement account and use it to invest withā¦ worst financial decision Iāve ever madeā¦ My journey has been through stocks, options, futures, ETFs and now FOREX. Over the past 8 years Iāve been passiveā¦ not doing any real investing/trading, but watching and trying to learn more about the market via demo accounts. About 4 years ago a made a commitment and a 5 year goal, to try and replace my retirement account in 5 years, by 2019, and my focus vehicles for doing this would be would be FOREX and Stock Options.
How close am I? Well, Iāve learned a lot using demo accounts. Iām looking to begin sticking my toe back in the waters at the beginning of 2019. My experience has taught me to be conservative and to start off by risking only 1% of my account at any time. Iāve learned a few strategy with FOREX and Options that I will slowly put into play. BabyPips caught my attention as I started going through the School of Pipsologyā¦ good educational program.
About meā¦ married with children. Like music, and even play my sax every once in a while. Not retiring anytime soon. Looking to go on my first vacation cruise in 2019. Been blessed by the Lord and enjoying life.

Greetings from Kentucky, USA
Iāve recently joined the Babypips community but I have been reading the forum
threads since I started studying Forex six months ago. Iāve learned much from the School of Pipsology and reading the forum. Iāve also learned a lot about myself. Here in Kentucky, itās lonely being a Forex trader. Iām looking to Babypips to give me an outlet for discussion and camaraderie.
About me, Iām a machinist by day. I enjoy playing guitar and singing whenever I get the time. I have a beautiful wife and three kids. Iām hoping that my time spent away from them, studying and testing will be worth the sacrifice. I started Forex like most. I was rocking on my demo accounts and then trying it live and losing. One lesson I have learned is that my own psychology has been my biggest problem. I was however very cautious when going live and havenāt blown any accounts yet. Iām hoping to keep it that way. Iāve read back about 2 years worth of drpipslowās articles and enjoyed them very much.
Iāve recently started journaling and taking more of what Iāve been reading to heart. Journaling has helped me organize my thoughts and processes. I definitely wish I had started my journal much sooner. I have always kept spread sheets of success rates, risk to reward and whatnot, but I have not simply put my processes into words.
I have come here to learn and to share. I am not here to sell or buy a system. I am confident that everything I need to be profitable is all on this site. Iāve just enjoyed reading the threads for the past six months and decided to give it a go.
Currently, I am working on my goal of āBreak Even.ā The last few months I have been placing paper trades and trading some trades live. I swing trade the daily charts using simple price action and S&R levels. nothing complicated, no indicators. In the 2019, I hope to attain my goal. I have come very close in 2018 but with the Holidays and unusual trading environment lately, I have sat many trades out that would have attained my goal.
I hope I did not ramble too much!

Hi Babypippers,
My name is Imran and i am a complete newbie to the world of FX and Babypips. Finding there is soooo much to learn and am a little daunted by the whole FX game, but it seems I have come to the right place. BP is such a great site and kudos to the team and the entire community as this is such a great place to start. I love the honesty and up close and personal forum.
Hopefully I can add some posts in the future and who knows what the future holds.
Best Regards and Happy trading 2019 to all on BP.
