Hello All,
I am new as well and voted for "Other". I believe it is a little of everything, a total learning experience. The only way I have ever learned something is by doing and I have learned by trial and error.
When I turned to FX, I paid for the classes and read the books. I bought some of the "systems" and tested them in
demo and real time.
Currently I am using forcasts and signals provided by third parties, but eventualy by doing all of this repeatedly I will either learn to do it myself or will come to realize that I should leave it to a professional and pay him/her for their services.
Just my two cents worth.
Regards,
CajunFX
