How did you get into forex market ? What is your story ?

Well i started to watch forex in december 2008 during christmas break. I have been surprised by the violence of the the market and the possibility of win (or loss) created by leverage. Since then I tried to develop stratégies on mt4. Will continue the story later. Hope you will tell us how you get in too.......

Back in my university day in September 2009, where my girlfriend ask me if I interested to join her lecturer teaching basic forex. At that time I not really sure what forex is, what trading is. So, I said why not.

So, in that class, I learned about pips, risk, platform etc. So, that start my day as trader. I remember had my free account burned (that's day I used Marketiva, they gave $5 free for every account sign up with them) in my first day trading. But from that I learned the truth behind trading.

You can easily get rich, and get poor, just in split of second. And that got me excited.

And that's my first and last class I go for my forex education. The rest is same as other beginner trader. Hunger for knowledge, following signal, multiple margin call, testing indicator, another margin call and reading here and there and so on.

It's been 4 years. I graduated, just do random job not using my degree and become fulltime trader, never look back. Its hard really. But worth it. Wherever I have time, I do my own analisys, trade my own money and maybe after a year I plan to trade others money.

The possibility is endless right?

I enjoy my life as trader. Never had this kind of experience and excitement before I become trader. And that's my story... How's about yours?
