I trade forex for a living - AMA

Proof http://i.imgur.com/Warsa0F.png

I am not:
Giving trade advice.
Giving trade setups.
Selling anything.
Asking for anything.

I don't have a fancy degree and I don't know much about economics but I practiced on a demo account for 2 years and studied as much about forex as I could. I now manage to trade full time and work for myself.

I'm doing this AMA not to share my trading strategy but to hopefully answer any questions you may have about getting into forex as a hobby or as a career. I'm 28.

I usually average about £4000 a month. My biggest loss was £7900 and my biggest win was £24,000 on Brexit.

So ask me anything.

I am not affiliated or sponsored by FXCM.
