I agree with CV, Bobby.
If you are a vendor of such things though, edit your profile (UserCP, edit profile) and tick the "I'm a vendor" box and feel free to add your home page to your profile. That way if someone is interested they can follow it back.
With a few exceptions we're vendor friendly (lol) as long as you seem to be a contributor and don't directly advertise in threads you participate in or start. If a contributing member says "where can I find information on something" and your company is an answer then you can post the link ... just don't overdo it and don't be totally surprised if in a fit of enthusiasm one of the mods deletes a link.
If you do start a thread with an honest, educative discussion of the things your company is involved in then you can also expect that posts that attack your discussion in a personal or overbearing manner will be removed by the mods. Feel free to hit the complain button in such a situation.
Our standard will be "contribution to the community" but with a bias to "free speech."

Hey All,
I just joined this site. I am a university student studying Economics and Accounting. I decided I want to apply for jobs in trading firms once I finish my Honours in Economics so I just came on this site to try and learn as much as I can to give me the best chance of getting a job.
I just started reading the first Steps thread and it looks great!!

Hello Everybody,
I've been in the market for a little over two years now. Most of my funds are in the long term market like the S&P 500. Although I do trade shorter term at 3 months to a year. I am thinking of changing that and pick up the speed some. I think this site may be good for me to get the info I need to step it up some.
My biggest screw up was with Apple stocks. I bought at $61 and sold around $85. So I kick myself now and then, but move on. That's life!

hello to fxboss and the community
I'll give you my opinion as you so kindly asked for it. English not being my first language, I might have missed something out of your massage. Now, from what I've understood, I don't think you can go from paper trading straight to "pro" status. There is the step of trading with actual money to be successfully achieved before graduating as a regularly effective trader. As Mark Douglass put in his book TRADERS, ENTER THE ZONE, it takes much more than being able to accuretely analyse the markets to be a master, you've got to aquire the trader's mindset BEFORE.
For my introduction? as this is my first post on this board, I have been learning since 2 years and trading since about a year now, both paper and live . I first tried stocks but switched to day trading indices. I've taken a few live courses and seminars and read about ten books on the subjet, and am still far from having broken even and got it right, but starting to pinpoint the weak zones.
I live between Brussels and Luxembourg in Europe and would appreciate to meet fellow traders in the "E411" area.
Take care,
YieHom

My names is James A. Hyerczyk. I trade and analyze using pattern, price and time so I guess I can be categorized as a Gann Analyst. I'm an old school analyst. I'm computer literate, but prefer to build and update large charts by hand. I get a better feel of the markets that way. I will trade anything or any style that gives me a positive expectancy. I am a stats driven trader. I keep records of everything.
I have a working knowledge of financial astrology. This means that I know what i have to know to identify cycles or the cause of cycles. I have seen or had access to a lot of Gann's original material. I'm not a Gann fanatic. I use enough of his tools to get the job done. I try to keep it simple and direct when responding to Gann questions. He has been dead longer than the material covered in his books.
I believe that I am as good as my last trade or analysis. I also believe that trading is at least 90% mental and 10% mechanical. I try to learn from everyone I have contact with. I have a lot of experience and willing to share, however, I have one rule that I think everyone who does their own work should have: Don't ask me my opinion about a market, just to give me yours. I think its great to help others, but when you start to tell me what you think about the market then I will shut down. This isn't because I think I'm better, it's because I know after 25 years that too much outside information can cloud my judgement. I believe in doing my own work and encourage others to do the same.
I am willing to help others with just about anything technical. I am especially good at back engineering trades and trading systems. I find that most problems with technical analysis and trading systems is the lack of clarity in the development stage and combining contradictory indicators. In other words, the trader usually doesn't have a clear idea as to what he wants the system to do and the indicators he is using are not complementary.
In summary, trading is like hitting a golf ball or baseball. You know the mechanics,but the majority of issues are in your head. Sometimes you hit the top or the ball, sometimes the bottom, but the best drive comes from hitting the sweet spot with everything you have. This is my challenge as a trader, not to get the top or the bottom, but to nail the sweet spot with everything I have and to make my money quickly and efficiently.
I hope this helps you understand what I'm all about. I am really looking forward to further developing my skills and helping others within your network.

hi smithleo
I am a newbie but a little further down the road than you.
I have been trading for real for 3 months now and have learnt the following-
1.Do not get bogged down with the offers of systems, whether cheap or extortianate.
2.Better to learn take advice from brilliant sites like this and all the advice given by experienced , knowledgeable and very helpful contributors.
3.Only you can decide your future trading methods.
4.This will depend upon lots of things like-
the amount of your initial bank-
your choice of trading (intra-day trading ,scalping, longer term)-
the commodities you want to trade-
5.What I have learned is-
to write a trading plan-
stick to it -
choose a reliable broker (I use IG Index )
open an account with cash you can afford to lose
be very selective on what you trade ( I do GBP/USD mainly )
you can always expand as you gain experience
get your win/loss ratio right- 2/1 seems OK to me
at first set an average weekly target profit -mine is currently 50 pips per week
learn to take losses without beating yourself up
use indicators you are comfortable with (such as RSI,stochastics ,EMA )
VERY IMPORTANT-do not risk more than about 1% of your bank on any trade
increase stakes gradually as your bank grows and you gain experince
I will have missed something but those are my immediate thoughts.
Good Luck

Hi everyone at t2w there are some very good posts on this forum,and I get the view the majority are short term traders.I tend to go longer term 1 to 2 months with bigger stops,but everyone has there own style,and if it works for you then don't change it,

Hi,all,
Newbie on this forum,but trading since past 3-4yrs!
Wish to make substantial gains or rather recover my losses sustained in the past in forex trading.
I am learning new things,techniques,tips and tricks each and every day,which makes the trading optimistic.I like to trade the euro/usd and usd/jpy pairs,but it all depends on the trend.
I am interested in options trading on forex.I use oanda,fxcm,ibfx,etc but really Not made big money still and desperately looking for the opportunity.
