Hi Everyone.

I'd like to know how some of you initially got into this business. Did you guys go to school or have banking jobs etc..

My entry into FX was after looking for something to do to earn an income after I turned 60yo.

No employer wants an intelligent or otherwise employee over about 45yo in Australia. I am well qualified have excellent experience in a broad range of employable skills but could not get an interview.

I have been studying TA for a while now recently started on FX. It looks like a winner to me. 'Recently' means about 1 - 2 yrs ago. I see FX as much simpler than stock trading.

Trading online at home is great just like running your business. No traffic jams no parking problems no upset bosses etc etc.

Good trading to all..............

I was dreaming about this since i was a kid... all my education went in that direction... this means trading of course...

in my country (Serbia) that was sort of diffrent comparing to much of the guys here because there was almost no literature literally no school where you can learn anything about financial markets so my friend Engl brought me books i asked that was the way i started....

Of course internet boom gave a big push... in the mean time i graduated in banking finance insurance on our University....

Forex came later actually as a consequence of undercapitalization....

It was options or forex for me so i picked both

Hi Fwind

Well I don't know how I got here. Never been to finance school or traded stocks. I guess Forex met some of the critieria I had setup in my mind. Lots of profit potential can do anywhere you compete against your own intellect low barriers to market entry (no brokers fees etc.)

I should also disclose that I've yet to trade for real may not. This appears to be a "it takes money to make money" game.

I still work full time trade during the night As I am in Australia this works well. I have 2 children 6 2 look forward to giving them a better life.

Stocks then moved over

Hi all

I've always been business minded interest grew in share trading. After four years of playing around in shares which proved successful I discovered forex. I had heard about it but thought you needed thouss thouss to do it then I researched it for seven or so months demo traded eventually opened now trade a live account.

All the best
