What Would You Be Doing if You Were Not a Trader ?

Recommended Posts

Trading part time ? what else do you do ?

If you had never gotten into trading what do you think you would be doing ?

I had a business selling Automotive diagnostic equipment. I had that for about 15 years and did quite well. I sold the business in 2005 ( 55 yo ) and retired, or so I thought. Since my wife had not retired and has no plans on doing so in the forseeable future, I soon found myself bored out of my mind. It was about this time I discovered trading. I fell into it head first, with out a great deal of success at first. I kept at it and now enjoy moderate success.

If I had not discovered trading I probably would find myself in the Marine Industry. I hold a 100 ton Masters License, with sail and towing endorsements. I also am a certified "Master Diver". I would probably be in business doing yacht deliveries, boat surveying, and some light underwater salvage and recovery.

 

How about you ?

I am not a full time trader. My day job is translations. I love to learn new languages and i currently speak 5. So, probably, without forex i'd have a time to learn one more:roll eyes:

My wife and I acquired a new friend while attending Spanish classes. A young Lady born in Kazakhstan speaks kazakhstani, Russian, German, Korean, English (flawless I might add) and now Spanish.

 

 

How does that joke go, "Show me someone who only speaks one language ans I'll show you an American".

If not trader then don't know what would happen. I love to trade because my broker have taught me lots of thing. I was just a beginner started with demo account with LMFX and then slowly and steadily started making some profit.

It is important that you are motivated to invest time, money and effort in forex trading. Most traders with full-time jobs can only trade forex for a few hours, but how to make the most of that time is up to the individual.

I trade forex part-time on Hotforex MT4 I really like major pairs because of low spreads, scalping is fun that helps you to feel market. Though there is a lot of of noise especially during high volatility so I avoid trading during times when prices move in crazy fashion.

I am a teacher by the profession. I trade with Forex to earn some extra income.

I am sure you might be teaching forex skills to the students now.

    • @sxiqxx, Well done on making your first post a promising strategy. @everyone, post up if you want this coded into an EA. Although I switched to TradeStation, I still have an active MT5 demo with MetaEditor. I can code it without referencing object oriented programming which should be retroactively compatible with MT4. Let me know...
    • Please allow me to retort (in jest): RESPONSE 1 : Get a job supervising others where you're in control of performance reports and ride those others 100%. This makes your performance 100% with little to no effort.   RESPONSE 2: Feel free to piss off your boss but stay nonviolent. When the side effects of his viagra and testosterone boosters cause him to physically assault you, you have the legal upper hand. This can result in a boatload of trading capital.   RESPONSE 3: Feel free to have intimate relations with your boss if she finds you attractive. Rest assured that mum's the word because once again, you have the legal upper hand. This can also result in a boatload of trading capital.   RESPONSE 4: Don't be fake friends with any enemies... unless you need information from them. Being fake friends with everyone will cause you to become an empty shell of a person with no direction in life.   REPONSE 5: Get your boss to become reliant on your performance (really, just the performance of your subordinates), and then plan an "overheard" conversation wherein you fake an interview with another potential employer. You'll probably get a pay increase or a promotion.   RESPONSE 6: If you can give your 75% percent to a project, give 50% and rely on your legal upper hand(s). Learn to write trading algo's during your other 50%.   RESPONSE 7: Take all of the office boys out to nightclub where you merely sip soft drinks on a weeknight. Upon your return to the office in the morning, inform the security guards that all of the office boys are intoxicated. Your boss will love you for it.   RESPONSE 8: Never try to prove your client wrong or find faults in their processes, but do secretly collect their information in case you jump ship or "someone you know" decides to start his own company.   RESPONSE 9: Never stay in a firm for too long. Instead, use your ill-gotten capital to exit the rat-race and start trading.   RESPONSE 10: Trading pays more than your career. Interpersonal skills are now irrelevant. Use your technical skills for trading. Never stop learning and keep updating your technical skills.😁
    • There are a lot of trading strategies like elliot waves, wyckoff etc so we need to apply those who best suited to our need and are understandable too.
    • Scalping can be good during the high volatile markets however the new traders should be careful while entering and exiting the markets too quickly since they can make losses as well. If the broker support news trading we can make most out of the scalping in my opinion.  
    • In my opinion these candlestick charts are more easier to understand as compared with the other charts.
