I have been trading for 4 years now and have traded everything ranging from equities, options, crypto, Forex and bonds. I started off trading penny stocks thinking that this could lead to a quick buck and I would be rich. I quickly learned that this market was dangerous and that I needed to slow down and really gain an understanding of what I was doing if I wanted to last. I started paper trading and stayed on that account for 8 months until I felt comfortable with my own strategies that I developed but by that time, I had ventured away from penny stocks and into the world of Forex. Today, I mainly trade Forex but I still trade the other markets with strategies that I have developed over the years.
