I recently moved to Iowa and I am looking to build a community of forex traders to discuss different strategies, market approach, and encourage one another to trade together! Trading with discipline, the right mindset, and money management is not easy and I think having others in the same boat will be very helpful.
Feel free to introduce yourself over here and get in touch if you are interested to build a trading community for Iowans!
Hello @baemax023! Thank you for the warm welcome. Trading is challenging and it will be great to be part of a community of people that share interest in it. I will definitely be around! and hopefully I manage to find other Iowan traders …
I only know of 3 Iowans on BP, and you and I are 2 of those 3, and I am gettinng ready to move out of the state next year, haha. I will be curious if there are any other Iowans here. Go Hawks!
@krugman25 what a luck, I just came and you are leaving! haha. Well, I realized after plenty of research the forex trading is not a thing in Iowa lol. Couldn’t find any institutions, communities, or even casual meet-ups where traders are interested to get together. Perhaps we should start our own institution over here! not a bad business idea …
Good to know there is a fellow Iowan over here and hopefully I get to know many more!
Hawkeyes all the way! 4th straight win coming soon …
You are 100% correct on that. If you did a random survey of 1000 Iowans asking them if they knew what Forex was, or even if they have ever heard of the word, you would be lucky to find 1 person answer yes. It’s not even that it’s foreign to people here, it’s simply non-existent.
My wife’s uncle owns a $600,000,000 financial business in Marshalltown called Barr Asset Management. I love going over to their house and hearing about how Paul started with nothing and built a 600 million dollar financial company in a short period of time. It has crossed my mind more than once to start something close to where I live in Mason City. I have a feeling we will be moving back to Iowa after a few years, and who knows, maybe it will be the time to do something like that.
Where did you move here from? Honestly I love Iowa and am only moving because of pressure from the company I work for.
