What brought you to trading

  1. I couldnt get a good paying job because i only made it to eighth grade.

    I have always loved the markets and all the money that is available to anyone who can figure out the combination every day


    so i borrowed some money and got my ass handed to me.

    Tried it again after a few years and got my ass handed to me

    tried it again, this timw with computers and internet and all sorts of wonderful toys that provide an illusion you can look in the crystal ball and see the future. I even read several books and watched some DVDs on trading.

    Now 20 years later after starting I finally make money (maybe not this month) but most months. hope to be over 100K in earnings next year.

  6. It has always been about freedom for me. Happiness comes from control over one's own life.
