That's awesome - how much did you have deposited in your account until you begun playing at the £5/point level?

Anyway, hello everyone else!

I've just joined the site this morning. I am in my final year of secondary education and have begun my journey into learning about finance!
Really looking to get into spread betting, and gaining a better understanding of technical analysis.

See you around!

Started with £2000 but £1000 would be ok for 1 Trade a time at a Fiver .
Good luck in the rest of your Education and Financial Journey

Hi all.
I've decided to take the plunge into the world of trading.
I'm in college with little money to play with so my initial investment is $1000.
I'm going to try my hand at day trading with the robin hood app and see what I learn along the way.
Any advice/suggestions are welcomed.
Hope to get a lot of great info from this site.

Hello,
Been a lurker on here for a while as well. Lots of useful insight from other traders on here. I began trading stocks in 2012. About a 38% average yearly return without using any leverage. Been studying short term trading for a few months now. Paper traded the /ES for the past 3 weeks with an average success rate of 70% so far. I am purely scalping. Looking for short term reversals to collect a quick pip then I'm out. I love my BBands and Stochastics. I trade from a 5 min chart with 1 min for my entries. Volume is another big piece of my trading equation. Looking to follow the big money. Looking forward to meeting other traders on here with similar styles to collaborate with. Cheers.
Will

Hi guys Daniel here,

I'm a final year student at university and was very interested in trading. Wanted to join this forum to gain more knowledge to help become a good trader.

All the best to you guys and gals.

New Here

Hello all,

I started trading 1 month ago and want to do this full-time. Started with binary options with 1000 euros and after 1 month i'm break even. But i want to take it seriously and trade for real. I think binary options is more gambling and with real trading you have more control and less risk. But it was easy to start with and get the feeling of using real money.

I now have a demo account with lmax and so far it's going pretty wel. I use risk management and take it very serious. I made 10% profit in 2 weeks on a 10k demo account. I chose this broker because it's ECN and heard good things about it. Only thing is that i don't like their charts. They also offer their services through MT4 platform, but i don't like that platform.

I see myself as an absolute noob in trading and i know with real money it will be different. And before i put some real money in my account i need to be at a level that i'm comfortable with. That's why i joined this forum. And hope i can learn some good stuff here.

I'm still looking for a setup that i like. I started using tradingview.com for charts and i really like it. Only thing that i find strange is that charts don't match from lmax and tradingview. It says they both real time. I have read that ECN brokers always show real time market prices, so now i don't know who to believe.

I have read about spreads and difference between STP, ECN and market makers. But it's not about a few pips. And tradingview is just charting website so why would they show different prices? Maybe there are some pro's here that could explain that to me?

Thanks,
Harry

This is a thread in the New to Trade2Win forum which provides everyone with an opportunity - both old members and new - to introduce themselves to the community.

If you're a new member, or maybe just a lurker who hasn't yet taken the plunge, then this is as good a place as any to start. Tell us a bit about yourself, perhaps your trading history and interests, and what you hope to gain from the site.

:!: If you have any simple questions related to trading, then please refrain from asking them in this thread and instead use the New to Trading forum, which is targeted specifically at newbies taking their first steps.

Hey everyone BP here. I have had an interest in a broad range of financial subjects for years but have always put off getting involved in trading. Due to a career change I now have alot more spare time so figured I would start now. From my experiences in other pursuits I recognise the importance of finding a great mentor to learn from as quickly as possible so hopefully I will have a good time on this site.

Have a marvellous day

Hi guys, My name is Linas. Live in UK and I'm very interested in trading shares. Just opened Hargreaves & Lansdown share trading acount, so all I need now is knowledge as I never tried any dealings yet.

Hi everyone,

I have just joined today. I am very new to trading having dabbled just once last year for a month where I pretty much broke even. I have started again last week and am doing OK, but I know it's been blind luck which is not a great long term strategy.

I have a background in writing complex financial software and am comfortable with technical analysys, I just have no idea what to do in trading so I acknowledge I am on the very first step.

Hoping to lean a lot and appreciate this is going to be a lifetime of learning.

Steve aka The Troubled Trader
