I’m just curious to see people’s responses really. I’ve been trading Forex on and off for the past 7 or 8 years, and I’ve never thought of myself as a trader. But I’m getting there. I’ve always been someone who is “trying to be a trader” in my own mind. With greater confidence and results however, even if I have another full-time job and other pursuits in life - I am finally starting to think of myself as a trader.
What do you think? What do you say to someone when describing “who you are” or “what you do”? TBH, there are only a handful of people in my life that have any idea that I am doing this. I have always found it difficult to explain to people not in this field, what it is.
I’ll call myself a trader when I have an active trade with real money. I might be only an amateur trader or a part-time trader at that point, but I’ll still be a trader.
Once I get to trading full time for a living then I’ll just tell people I’m retired.
you are a trader when RT’s finally give up and give you all their monies to trade for them for a percentage of the profits Mikey said the funniest ■■■■ on twitter today, he lost track of how long he has been killing it LOL! 3.7 seconds so far is his record!
