...do you make a nice living out of this?
Hey brother!

My two cents are this...

So long as you don't let your Username drag your principles through the mud...you have a chance.

That was on cent. Second...

You need to have enough money to start with. You need a return. Actually...2 and 3 (?) cents are coming together now.

You need a return...every MONTH, I'm assuming...maybe every two weeks? Forget the "annual-compounding, spread-sheet of fortune" that you've seen everywhere! Utter bollocks!

Take your time...go slow...go steady. If you set a target....MUCH longer TF goals are better. Do NOT set your self a Daily goal...ever! And never chase that! Go weekly...Monthly is better!

You mentioned 6 months earlier. Very good thinking! Maybe a little long, but on the right track. No point in dragging it out a year if the writing is on the wall.

Pick some heads...a mentor, or two...I think you seem to have those. Check in with them as often as they'll let you. If they don't have the time...or have failed...or have their head up an arrogant hole...get a new source...and repeat some steps.

Make it about you...and make it comfortable. If you have that...you WILL succeed! South of Lisbon, to the North of Bernank!

really appreciate your input, guys.
imho the best way to go is to have a variety of income streams, including yes cough cough a j-o-b. Make some money trading then invest it in real estate or another business that provides passive income. Make some more money trading and grow trading accounts but take some out & put it into rock solid investment instruments if there are any left. make some more trading but take some out and go on vacations buy your kid a pony whatever just have something to show for it when they close down the casino.

and since i expect to be making a living out of this fork in the coming future, is there anyone so kind as to tell me, do you make a nice living out of this?

really appreciate your input, guys. i always doubt if i am making a choice just to reach i goal i have (be a pro trader) (i do become obsessive about reaching my goals) or if this is really a sound choice as a source of income for the family.
I'm living from it wan, but I have some investments elsewhere for a back-up.
I feel that without enough reserves and the need to perform in fx could be a psychologically burden I couldn't take...

Doesn't matter where you go, though, somebody along the way will have their hand out. Panamanian SA has to maintain a min. balance in a Panamanian bank ($10k I have heard) even thought the trading accounts etc would be offshore.
Well of course they have their hand out...$10k is CHEAP! Try Switzerland! I guess I'm not going to speak publicly about what just went down with a "conservertship" bank a few weeks ago...but it wasn't $10k!

Is what it is, I guess...and sometimes its better at home...and not under the mattress...specially when the cidz needz crack!

well yeah that has been an eye-opener. things are pretty dicey now. farmers will do well now and 5 years from now but retail forex may not even exist in its present form or at all 5 years from now...

sound advice from sound traders.

Ken, not looking for my username. being rich rich now is just keeping my level of living right now. trading as something to it that i reaaaaaaallllly love: freedom. have worked for 18 years now so the mere thought of having the same at the end of the month but having the liberty to choose when to work sound really perfect! it's THE dream. like yesteday, made my 54 pips in the morning and would have the time to go to my oldest daughter dance party and have a couple of moscatels after lunch with a friend. and i do know it's not made overnight. as i said the plan as monthly goals and if all went well i only intend to take some in six months. i guess the plan is sound although it does take into account coumpounding. Mentor? well, nope. really now. just some good people here that ii like to call friends and that are willing to give some advice or share a trade. some of these people have been through the same painful learning process i am still going through and that, therefor are willing to lend a helping hand.

Fool, thanks too man. but i guess you are already at a higher level. when i make enough out of this that i can invest somewhere else, man, i'll be happy. no problem sharing what i have in mind: my objective is to make 1000€ per month six months from now. i can tell u i would be satisfied with that.

USD-B, i am aware of the pressure. once i get the boot i will have the compensation i am supposed to receive as a pillow and my wife's income plus the unemployed pay (yup, we do get paid here for not working for some time. also still have my small company to generate some if i get business from my main costumer (where u live ). that one is not solved yet as i am waiting for a proposal that i didn't get yet...
dreams do come true.

Nice Bear! Honesty is such a rare thing to find spoken...and even harder for some to listen to if they don't want to hear it.

You said it...I'll vouch for that!
