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

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".

I work part time as a sales clerk in a clothing store, if I was not a trader, I would probably be putting my career as a visual artist full time.

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

Well If I were not a trader I prefer to be a Broker. I have learned a lot through my broker and I just want to become a successful trader like mine.

I would be doing a job in industry as a technologist, in fact I am doing same. Forex is just a good part time work for me.

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.

If not a trader then i guess there would be a rat race for sure struggling between the paychecks and hefty job routines.

[CrazyCzarina 17]

I think we need to have both the Job as well as Forex as we need some capital to backup when we lose in the Forex Trading and a good Job could do with it.

[aimhi 10]

Yes agreed we can do forex trading as part time in the start and when we learn trading we can switch to full time trading.

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

I regard trading as only part-time occupation and additional possible source of income as professional trading requires good expertise and full-time dedication, but I love my profession (I'm a gardener)
