Hi all, I started trading forex 10 years ago with $5000, i haven't deposited a single dollar thereafter and now my account is $2 million strong. I just wanted to share my experience with you, and yes it's doable.

Well, I have retired in the Philippines in a small beach town that has internet, thank god! I invested for years in the USA to get me to this point and now the beach has become boring and I am learning the art of short term trading.

 

I look forward to meeting you all and learning what is available. If anybody needs info on trading in the Philippines, (yes they have direct access trading on the PSE) or living here or even vacationing here let me know.

 

Regards,

Marketmonkey

Hi Everyone.

 

I'm starting trading gold futures and need some help in understanding how to trade. I need a little clarification on the margin and the strike price. In stock futures trading I buy options based on the strike price, but in commodities trading there is a margin. Where does the strike price and future price based on the strike price come in? :confused:

Hi everyone,

 

I am a university student in Turkey interested in FX, equtities&indexes, commodities trading. I aim to become a systematic trader with incorporating backtesting, walk forward analysis, paper trading and eventually real/live trading a strategy :D.

 

I hope to earn a living out of trading for my own. My biggest obstacle in this path is inadequate programming skills, but I am working on it.

 

Thanks and I wish everyone profitable trades.

Hello! My name is Matt and I'm from Lithuania. I'm trading over a year now. I'm only 17 years old, started trading forex when I was 16. Now I have real account and so far I'm quite happy with my results. Still not very best, but doing my best to get better. On my free time I enjoy reading self-development books, training outside. Looking for new friends traders.

So I guess it's enough. Have a wonderful day and good luck for everyone!

 

Matt.

I am new here and have experience in trading Fx for 8 years and still continue learning today. I have discovered this website by accident, it was the link from another forum that guided me here. English is not my native language and so excuse me if I did not express well here. I am interested to learn how to use Market statistic and VWAP in MetaTrader 4 platform.

Hey Everyone!

 

My name is Gregg Schultz, I'm an electrical Engineer who liked to invest & trade on the side. I currently utilize an ETF "Rotation" strategy with many of the commission-free ETFs on Fidelity, and I actually like to put some of my savings into a few stable/"High Sharpe Ratio" mutual funds with Charles Schwab (again, some of their mutual funds don't charge commissions, and contributions can be as small as one dollar), as an alternative to a bank Savings account.

 

Otherwise, I'm hoping to learn about simple Options trading (perhaps a few "conservative" Iron Condors are in my future), particularly if I can integrate that knowledge with a "Value" investing strategy (an Options "Collar" for example, could allow me to purchase even more of an under-priced security if it ever gaps down).

 

Looking forward to seeing what comes of this experience at "Traders Laboratory", Woo-hoo! =)

Hi. I'm Yura and ja complete beginner. I've begun taking forex lessons at Babypips. I'm also looking through a book on candlestick trading by a guy named Candle Master.

 

I've never traded live yet, not even a demo. I'm currently studying candlestick charts. They seem the most simple and informative. But I guess I should try all kinds of methods to find what suits me best?

 

Hope I can learn some more here as well.

Hello all!

 

I am interested in programming for Forex trading. I've been sucking data into a mySql db and trading with IG API - but I think its time to move on to Mt4 or Mt5 (dilemma here I think) or perhaps a different tool. I have come to learn from the masters...;)

Hello - new guy here on the forums. I trade the ES. All my trade set up are based off of the Market Profile, confirming with Volume Imbalance Footprint and a few tick charts using only 3 non-correlated indicators. I look forward to contributing to the forums as much as I can.

Cheers!
