    How much do you make?

    Hello men! This is a thread. How much do you make per year from Currency Market trading only?
    I will provide you a couple of options http://forums.babypips.com/images/smilies/yahoo/3.gif

    negative
    0 - 20 000
    20 000 - 50 000
    50 000 - 80 000
    80 000 - 100 000
    100 000
    (please state what currency your gains/losses are)

    I just wanna observe some numbers of how profitable Currency Market actually is, that is all. My guess is that most negative and make under 20 000.

    The reason is because placing up a statement means you are held accountable for your actions to the public.

    For example if I set a statement, suddenly I become quite famous or become quite idiotic depending on whether im making money or not. This is undesirable pressure to my plogy. It won't make me trade better. So why do it?

    Should you say people don't care if I'm bad or good, then why bother asking for a statement?

    It's hard enough to keep a stable mind for trading, I don't require extra pressure...
    Very well stated. What ever happened? A person can show you a statement for the previous 8 months. In which each month they've posted profits of 5 percent. However in the event that you wind up this individual, and you lose 2 percent. You call that person a scammer. I for you follow no one. Yet I've heard a fantastic deal in the questions asked on forums. I made over 800%, this week . I could very well lose all of it. To counter that, you withdraw all profit, and try to repeat.

    Hi guys! This is a ribbon. How much do you make per year from forex trading?
    Isn't this like heading up to some complete stranger in the street and asking to see their pay cheque?

    I really don't know about you but when someone did that for me that the answer would not be over friendly.

    Even when you did get a reply, what would you learn from it? You do not know whether you are asking the Office Junior or even the CEO.

    In trading terms there are simply too many variables that affect the outcome beginning with account size.

    haha, I must state such whiny arguments I have really only come across in the trading field.
    In any normal business or in sports anybody will boast about their performances, just how great they are, how fast they're,...
    Not in the trading field, here we get all sensitive and are afraid to hurt our emotional balance and add additional pressure.
    What a load of crap.
    I come from a professional services background (auditing consulting financial services firms) and all I have ever seen are individuals that are complete in pressure and try through that pressure...


    The issue is easy, why are traders so emotional? Makes me laugh, its anger etc. Whatever it is, that is trading, whomever started this knew that human nature is vulnerable when it comes to cash and no matter their skillls, nothing beats the internal individual .Its is those who manage aspect that make it.For you to create it, you ought to be unique not in reading the market or charts, coz that is pretty simple, but in managing emotions, that is it really, its all about emotion.
    Plus noticed something? The market appears to talk to you when you are trading, and worse when you are not .It appears to directly tackle all of your thoughts, eg .If trading 4 pairs, you input just one, the other ones move in your path but your one does not, or even moves against you.sometimes its like if in a traffic jam and the rest of the lanes appear to be shifting but your isn't, when you switch lanes, it abruptly stops along with your previous lane starts moving too fast, if you switch again, the exact same thing happens -- it is a roller coaster

    in my standpoint these items are just true for pure amateurs. You need to function when you trade. Like an elite soldier turns away his dread when attacking enemies or a physician is turning away his emotions when operating a patient. Of course they had years until they can become emotionless machines of training.
    Seems like everywhere are pure professionals who learned to turn off their feelings when it comes to their work, except in trading. There everyone is whining the crap out of it. Or you guys are amateurs. I personally don't understand these issues. I had these issues in my first year. From then on my own feelings have been totally left out of the trading enterprise.

    But anyways, complain all you want, if you can't turn off your feelings, then you are in the wrong field.

    from my point of view these things are only true for pure amateurs. You just have to function when you exchange. Just like an elite soldier turns away his fear when attacking a doctor is turning away his emotions when operating a patient. Of course they had years of training until they could become machines.
    Seems like anywhere are pure professionals who learned to turn off their emotions when it comes to their job, except in trading. There everybody is whining the crap from it. Or you guys are all amateurs. Personally, I do not...
    Great post and I fully agree.

    Do actual individuals actually earn money through trading? I have not seen or heard anybody yet.Please just show me signs, I am no longer sure about this trading enterprise.
    You are one individual between the 7 billion plus people alive right now. Your opinion is value but absolutely not accurate.

    There's an average of $3.7 trillion daily turnover in global foreign exchange market that means that the above amount is changing hands every single moment.

    Someone needs to be'very smart man' to feel that all this trillions end up to lean air and no traders triumph!

    I am trading forex since 2001, started actual trading because 2005, have lost more than $12,000, was trading micro lots for 0,10 per pip for several years since I knew I will lose all of it, till I become a winner, it took me about 11 decades but I am here.

    I had one winning day out of 4 - 5 six losing days, just in 1 day I lost $750 out of my hard earned cash and put my head down in my office crying and crying.

    Some times was watching the market for approximately ten hours nonstop, was putting eye drops in my red eyes to ease them from display expose.

    Forex has been the only way for me to earn a living like I just cannot do the job for a firm (overly independent minded) and also do actually like to become my own boss with less cash, but then this is my personality and you can not be like me, also I can not be like you.

    Have you got the time,courage and energy to forfeit over 10 decades of your life to learn to trade forex? I DID!

    You can turn into a winner forex trader when you have the proper INGREDIENTS rather than because you need some simple MONEY. It's not working like this.

    Should I tell you how I can do it you won't do it, as nothing can be substituted from real life experience. It's similar to asking Pele to explain to you how you can become the best football player of the world? Can you believe is possible just by fulfilling Pele and asking him to discuss with you his victory secrets to make it?

    Rather asking someone who is doing this, just PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE on your own!

    My advice to everyone who would like to become an effective trader.

    Be Ready to LOSE ALL OF YOUR ACCOUNT MONEY AT LEAST 7 - 8 TIMES BEFORE YOU CAN CONSIDER YOURSELF IN THE GAME.

    DO NOT GIVE UP

    TRADE AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE TILL You're A WINNER

    LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES BECAUSE YOU WILL MAKE A LOT.

    AND THE MOST IMPORTANT BELIEVE THAT YOU CAN DO IT!

    Those sky scrapers that home your thousands of friendly-neighborood-brokers hard at work to get your cash don't build themselves.

    Encouraging- I have zeroed my account several times, Perhaps I'm where you are soon, it has only been like 5 years for me personally and ALL that's left is just the emotion, what else is taken care of. . Like you said in the time of a yea I hope to say the same thing.
    Good Post
