Another Newbie Joining Up

Hello everyone. Iggy here.

Just wanted to introduce myself and say hello before I go back to reading all the great info to be found here.

I'm so grateful to have stumbled across this forum at the very beginning of my FOREX trading career.

Huge gratitude to all those who have so selflessly posted their knowledge. This place is a goldmine!

OK, back to ready and demo-trading.

Welcome Iggy, nice trading

Thanks Ado! Appreciate that.

How's your experience with FOREX been so far?

It has been nice, at first entered with the good luck of the begginer, then started to make some bad decisions and almost lost a live account (and also my mind :surprised je je je), but fortunately stoped in time, returned to demo an practiced, when felt better and more focused returned live again and I'm recovering.

There is a bunch to learn, technical information, systems, but also a lot of your personality and psicology, this will influence a lot how you trade when real, so you have to train your guts too.

But you are in a good place to learn and give your first steps.

Hi Iggy, first and foremost, Good luck with your trading career!

Secondly, I would like to give you some information that has helped me incredibly. First, here in the beginner's section, go to the "sticky" threads listed at the top of the forum and read them all. There is an amazing amount of GOOD information to be found there. Also, read all of the forex articles made by the editor- these are fantastic to learn things that you normally wouldn't have.

Another website that is fantastic for learning the basics of the foreign exchange market is www.babypips.com. I do not know if I am allowed to post that, as it could be considered a type of advertisement.
Moderator, If I am not allowed to do so, could you just erase that part of the message as everything else here is useful information with no advertisement other than the use of forex factory's assets.

After this, start your education of PRICE ACTION. The reason that is capitalized is because it will change your career throughout trading. Every system or methodology that you will find will be enhanced through the usage of price action. A great place to start your education on this is in the "James16 Price Action Thread". It is located in the trading systems area of the forums.
Other than learning through the threads and other things, everyone here is helpful. Ask anyone, including myself, anything and they will try to help you if they can. If not, I guarantee they will try to find someone that can. Good luck!

Hi Mike.

Huge thanks to you! I really appreciate the direction.

Funny that you mentioned Babypips.com. That's where I started and I heard about this forum on that forum. I've been through all the eduction there and will be going through it again. It is such great info. I'm amazed that it's all posted there for free. I learned so much through that.

I'm reading through all the sticky threads on your advice. Thanks for that.

And I'm dying to learn about price action. I'll do a search for that to begin my education on that front as well.

This already seems like such a great community. Always such a joy to find a positive, supportive group of folks when starting a new endeavor. I feel very fortunate!



Hey Ado - glad to hear a bit about your experience.

I'm just starting my demo trading career so won't be doing live trading for some time. But I've already learned from you - Go back to demo trading when live trading gets rough!!

There's a lot of value in that tidbit, so my thanks to you.
