Hey bperls,

Have you been trading for 10 years professionally or personally? Where did you learn to be a trader?

If I could go back in time and pick a different route of education, I think I would have gotten into it!

Cheers.

Hey Hardman,

Ive been trading professionally. My father has been a trader for 50 years in Wheat at the CBOT, so he taught me everything he knew. The fact that my generation grew up with computers together with his knowledge has let me fair through the crazy computer-run futures markets of today.

It's the best high I've ever experienced - trading, nothing compares. I encourage you to do a little research. While the vast majority of traders end up losing, there are people that make crazy good livings trading as a profession. Find one niche and exploit it until you find another. Good stuff.

Cheers,
bperls

Thanks for the reply and for sharing your background. Great to hear that you have been able to trade professionally through passed down teachings and experience, as opposed to formal education.

Enjoy the forums.
