C0ngratulations mate. Good luck and happy trading.
Aww. I love this! Haha. I think youāre doing a great job and I hope you keep the passion going as you continue on with the school. It can get a bit more complicated from here but donāt be shy to just ask away if thereās anything thatās confusing for you.
Good job. Try opening a demo account and start playing around!
Great start on your journey through the School of Pipsology! Keep it up and donāt hesitate to ask questions along the way.
Thanks man!
Well to shoot a question and answer @dushimes
When would it be a good time to open a demo account?
I would have to pick a broker, get really familiarized with the process of everything, (really no experience or knowledge at this current juncture with trading, morely still learning terms and what trading is) and well, actually being demoing.
Since Iām taking the School of Pipsology course; Is there a point during the course that would be optimal to start demoing?
The choice is yours, but I think itās a good idea to start messing around with charts and practicing the things youāre learning. Thereās no risk because itās just demo.
Hit buttons, draw lines, apply indicators, open and close positions. Trade 0.01 lots or bet the farm. See how it goes! Itās the real market, but fake money. Have fun!
Thats a whole wealth of information!
Wow canāt thank you enough. Choosing the correct broker seems to be one of the most important decisions in this journey, that is evident. Iāll definitely dive in and start researching!
The search function is your friend. Thereās tons of questions already answered. Also, consider starting a journal thread. You can post trade ideas, share your strategy and get feedback.
I personally think opening a demo account whilst your doing the course will distract you from your learning. When I was going through the School of Pipsology I had a demo account open, after each lesson I thought, great, I can go try all these new skills Iāve just learnt on my demo account. The result was pretty much always losing trades. Thatās because the learning doesnāt stop until the very last lesson, and without all the lessons you havenāt learnt enough! So for me, the demo account was a huge distraction and if anything it was detrimental to my learning.
I got a demo account early. I just got antsy not being able to trade. I wanted to get that first trade out even without necessarly knowing everything I needed to.
Thanks for sharing.
This maybe the course of action I take. Taking this process a step at a time and not rushing regardless of my goals can only make me a better trader.
Did you do the āDo Not Lose Money Declaration?ā
I remember actually putting my hand on my heart and saying: āI will demo trade until I develop a solid, profitable system before I trade with real money.ā Then I touched my head with my index finger and said: āIām a smart and patient forex trader.ā
Iām going through the Undergraduate Junior lessons now, and I like this topic you made. I was thinking of doing something similar, but I just kept it to myself in my notebook. Thanks for posting your progress. Iām looking forward to your updates.
Yes I did the declaration
And thank you, this topic not only allows me to take accountability but constantly get feedback on where I am and get help when needed through the course.
Iām in the camp of start demoing pretty much straight away. Or at least open a demo account, even if you donāt intend to enter any trades. I found being able to try out the various indicators being taught in a real life environment helped me figure out which ones I liked using and which I didnāt. It also helped cement some of the teachings being able to watch live price action and how it affected/was affected by various factors.
To be honest, youāll probably end up doing the course again anyway. Everything makes more sense the second time around.
Thatās what I did.
Just do what you think is best for you!
Great minds think alike. If you need an accountability partner, I think weāll make a great team. We can help each other stay on track on the path to financial freedom.
Iām in my man!
Yup its a blur the first time around. Thereās so much to read and try to understand, and then when you get into actually trading, you find the rules arenāt strict, and thereās gray area, and a lot of answers are āit dependsā. The market is always changing, so you need to change with it. And the more you trade and study and experience the live markets you start to understand more what people were trying to say to you before.
Letās goooooooo!

May Lugh bless us and inspire us as we master the skills on our journey to financial freedom.
That sounds interesting. Whatās your plan?
