This thread is to let us know about you:Your initial job or life before you became a successful FX trader.
This is to encourage upcoming traders that your background in life doesnt really matter when it comes to FX:D
As for me I work wif one of the leading financial institutions in my country, I have been trading for over a year now… Hv blown 2 live accounts and looking forward to opening the THIRD and profitable one.
Still learning more on psychology though:p:p
I worked for a financial company also- not trading though as to be honest, if I could have gotton into trading in a firm, I probably wouldn’t have started Forex. I don’t think it matters what you did/are doing to be fair, I’ve worked in McDonalds and I’ve been a delivery driver when I was at school/uni. Unltimately, I think it’s down to the person.
College student.
10 year in the UK Civil Service, from university to a couple of years ago. Then my wife started having children, I wanted to find something to do that was more flexible and had me at home more. So I left the Civil Service, started a couple of (unrelated) companies, and took a look at trading. I went ‘full time’ at the trading this year.
Computer Engineering student, after I graduated college I started trading.
Mining engineer. Gold to be specific. Started trading after graduation as well. Currently working but trading when I have time
Code Slinger (computer programmer)
I like computers, they are so… logical
it pays the bills untill I get good at fx…
Wealthy!!!

That’s my answer for ‘what were you before you got married’
ROFLMAO!!!

This one ‘had me going’ the other day too (purplepatchforex):
Well, first of all you got to learn to walk the walk and talk the talk, and thereafter it’s more or less all downhill.
LOL!!!

P.i.m.p :d
@ dpaterso -
very funny stuff.
I also liked the one - -how do you get a 10,000 trading account, . . . I believe it was you who said - - start with 20,000.
Great stuff.
B-4 I was a succesful 4x trader - - well it’s a trick question - I am not successful yet. So I am still a Business Analyst.
