anyone need help?

Jane,

I asked mom. I take what she says to be gold. My mom is a very smart woman.
At first when I asked her, she was speechless. She wasn't sure what to say.
She said its all in the attitude you take it as. Are you doing it to be rich? Are you trading to steal others money? Is greed pushing you to trade? Are you trying to make a living to give yourself and people close to you a good life? When it comes to is it right or wrong, its all in the attitude.

I don't think there is anything wrong with trading as long as you have the right attitude. I know I'm not doing something God doesn't like. When I start making real good money at this, it is gonna give my daughter something so many other sons/daughters don't get. That is a parent that doesn't have to go to work everyday and need a babysitter or just time away from their parent. Someday, my parents will have a motor home to travel the US and Serena will be able to go to college. My body will not ache anymore from the labor I do just so I can eat and pay bills.

It sure would be nice to be able to say I made a million dollars trading but that is not why I am trading. I am here to give my family a better life and not have to kill myself at my job to make just enough to live.
I could go on and on about this stuff but I think I have made my point.

Boy...I could go a while on this.......money is not evil or un-Christian....it's what you do with it.......God has given me a talent and I am using it....I use my talent to change other peoples lives for the better financially.....there is nothing in the Bible that says the only money you can make is if someone else doesn't lose any....(please provide the scripture) I would submit the sin in life is to be so obsorbed by money because you have none..than having it and using it for the good...the lack of it is the root of most failed marriages, it is the root of crime, poor people can't help poor people...it take producers example the parable of the landlord who gave his 3 servants equal sums to invest while he was away...who was rewarded? don't blame God for your failures or your succeses here in the Forex.......God is not against you.....if you are losing, it is because you have not developed the talents to win.....not because God has thrown a roadblock in front of you...maybe just few hurdles............

#1..Jesus was not sent here to trade the forex
#2..Not all traders are greedy or hipocrites..thats up to you as an individual
#3..Absolutley correct...keep it in context....treasures should not be a
proirity above heaven
#4.. if the Poor are trading the Forex, maybe they should look into something else....risk capital is what is used to trade the forex
#5...you can't be a trader and be Meek? trading has made me Meeker than anything else I have ever done
#6..who says he has not given us the forex or any style of investing for all we may need?

Here is a thought.....

God did trade once. He traded his sons life for our eternity with him.

thnx to renasdad, renasdad's mom, & 12345abc for ur views.
much apreciated.

i thinking that my christian friends won't be quite convinced with ur responses, but dat's okay ... they do not trading, so all is well.

carry on!

Hello, Community. I newbie here and its my first post on forexfactory. I hope that it so cool as everybody talk. I need a lot of answers for my forex-questions. Hope to find it here.

i am new to fx and would like some info on the best broker/platform on the market. i start out small and have big hopes to do great things if i am blessed. J said those who take care of the widowed and orphants loves me. and that 's part of my calling.



GOD BLESS !

Ask any questions you have in trading... I will answer and I am sure others also would love to help

Happy New year

Different ppl would like different brokers based on your account size.
As a matter of fact. I am using Nordfx for my USD800 account
I am using AlpariUK and HotForex for my bigger accounts. (USD2000+)

I think for a newbie MT4 platform would be great... Ninja trader is also good

esignal is also good.... Vtrader is cool

But the best platform is the platform which allows you to do your analysis in the best way..so test some brokers on demo and test some platforms also on trail, because most platforms are not for free

Hope it helps

Happy New Year and

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Oanda has very low spreads and MT4. MT4 highly recommended as probably majority of FOREX traders use it.

allright im new to forex (lul) pretty much done with babypips, my question is now, is at babypips all you have to know, or are there any more sites that teach you more?ty.

NO. .

Babypips is famous because knowledge is free and your education costs nothing.

There are sites which offer courses, but they also basically give the same info as in babypips, the difference is you should pay and most sites would offer a trading strategy.

You should read books written by famous business persons and trading books based on your trading style. Never stop reading books based on the forex market

At the same time you should find a system or a trading methodology which suits you and start that on demo. If you are profitable for 6 months or so , then you can just start trading live and make money.

Like other education , Forex Education never ends. So read books and do demo trading.

It is my advice.

yeah, I agree with fx_learner1, babypips offer knowledge for free, and the guys there make it accessible to majority of curious newbies, I've also learned from them. but learning forex is a long and almost never ending process, the key is always patients and embracing and loving the process.. best of luck and happy newyear guys.

Hi Folks!

I am also a completly newbie in forex and trade on various demo accounts the last weeks.

I started with the all rules out there, thinking there is a system which I have to follow .. during reading babypips.com I realized that that is all wrong. The market has no system, the only system which babypips reveal is that it is just a fact, that other people follow this systems (like fib, MACD, geometry etc) - and that's the only reason why they work - because others trade them. But that is only one side of the knife because it completely lacks the understanding of the market.

For me this information was quite crucial - and many threads on FF pointed me in this direction, that the market is not a controlled system like a first person shooter where you are instructed to go to Point A and shoot Person B - that's not how the market works.

I was trying all this fancy indicators but I never saw any real pattern which really had a prediction capability in any way.

Some days before i tried candle patterns, pinbars .. the thruth is, yes, sometimes they are right - but sometimes they are completly wrong!

I viewed charts from some threads in FF .. I find the patterns - but i also find such patterns they had NOT worked and as long this happens it is not a reliable thing to rely on.

I quited that systemish thinking, whipped my indicators, switched from candles to bars and looked at the charts - freeing my mind and started from scratch, and just tried to read the chart, tried to think what happens.

I found dozens of insight informations behind the market here on FF which was really helpful and at the moment I made good progress and made 150 pips on a 30m chart today (no losses today) at the moment I am looking forward to make the next ones.

I am not nearly profitable and I have not nearly any experience at all but one thing I can sign which was stated very often here on FF: patience .. lewt the market come.

I had many losses (on demo) because I was trying out things on 1m charts (dont want to wait half a day till I know if i was right). It is quite nervous there but i got a feel of it - profitable? no - it was just training and the spreads are to high to make any reasonable profits with that (that happens when a newbie tries scalping, hehe)

My tip from newbie to newbie: Make slow .. watch the market, be patient and at the beginning, dont be risky by thinking now you can make the big money by just clicking with your mouse on a black screen :-) Turn of indicators and just try to identify everything yourself.

I hope I will be a good trader now or then - not in terms of being rich, but in terms of being a wise trader :-)

Hi,

im looking for a EA programmer to code based on some indicators that i have. Im willing to pay for the work. If anyone can help pls let me know

thanks
Ken

MT4 is a such easy language to learn. Did you give it a go?

You can perhaps hire some EA programmer from sites like: Freelancer.com, Elance.com, ScriptLance.com, etc...

Good luck.

Hi
I would like someone could kindly direct me to more reading material (web article, ebooks) regarding the global schematic of the forex market structure (market makers, brokers). I think this is important before I touch the charts and the all the good part, isn't it?

Thank you and God bless

any trader is always have trouble, even a professional trader still face with trouble, just keep learn and try to communicate with other trader, i think it can help the trader to be better.

Although this thread was created long back, I looked at it today only since I am very new to this forum. This thread might prove to be a great help to me

Currently I am involved in demo trading. I am able to read the markets as in fundamentally but when it comes to technicals and day trading I cant specify the levels I am looking at. The levels that I look upon proves relevant for 4-5 days or for much longer time. Even applying various technical indicators create confusions in my mind and thus I stand all perplexed.

The members here will surely have a remedy for this! Please help
