Forex factory has thousands of highly experienced forex traders. Many of them have posted their trading strategy which are highly popular. I believe it is correct that 16% of FF members are millionaires.

Everybody is a millionaire. Every day I spend the equivalent of 16 billion dollar on a piece of bread - gotta love Zimbabwe.

Next time the OP should specify a currency.

16% of those who have voted are apparent millionaires. If there were 16% of the member base which is around 40k that would mean there where 6400 members who where millionaires, I very much doubt it. I would say less than 100 members in total and that is being possibly generous.

If I was a millionaire I can tell you now that I would be out sailing, fishing, dining and socialising. I very much doubt I would be here and I definatly wouldnt have time to rack up enough posts to convince everyone I was a millionaire because I just couldnt care less, but alas that is just my opinion.

Interview with trader:
- How you reached this success? In your account there is 100 000 dollars in one month.
- Well… there is nothing special. I opened my account with one million dollars month ago.

Perfect explanation. I was also thinking the same.

I was reading a reputed trading forum and one of the members had posted his account size is $145 million. So rich traders do post in forums. But they read more and write less.

you know million isnt what it used to be
Last I check a million, 1000 years ago (and far longer) was a 1 with 6 zeros behind it and today a million is still a 1 with 6 zeros behind it.

Smart arse aside the average income is probably around 45-50k per year for most people. Mining and corporate sectors, professionals etc would naturally be abit higher and then the lower end of the sector would be lower. I dont know too many people that wouldnt be happy with a million dollars attached to there name. So whilst the buying power of a million dollars is less compared to a number of years ago there is still a vast majority that would struggle to have at anytime in there life a net worth of a million dollars so it is still the bench mark.

In Australia we have had a fantastic run of new millionaires with this article coming out in September. How long they last as millionaires will be anyones guess.

That would be nice. $145 million is quite a sum of money.

I was actually watching a show the other night on millionaires and how they made there fortunes. It is amazing to see some very simple ideas churn out massive sums. 1 gentleman who struggled his entire life set up a web based advertisement site that was bought out a few years later for 50 million. He started another one which was larger and covered a greater world span sold a few years later for over 300 million. Another gentleman created a childrens learning program which I think he sold to leapfrog or something for over 120 million. Such large sums of money are out there for some simple ideas.

I wouldnt know whether I would be happy with it though. It is hard to say but it takes alot of the fun, effort and challenges that you strive for in life. When you desire something that requires you to go above and beyond your normal day in order to reach it there is a level of satisfaction and enjoyment. Imagine saving for a small car because you old car is on it last legs, you save for a year just for a good deposit. Then you win the American lottery and are handed 100 million dollars and you just go buy a Ferrari. What the hell am I saying I could live with that
