Hi Phyllis, welcome to the forex trading world... like you, I and I'm sure others have done extensive reading and studying regarding forex and trading in general...analysis paralysis is a good analogy...seems there is a professional opinion to suit anything we want to believe...For me personally, I have traded stocks and options in the past..(with mixed success),but forex is far more interesting to me...high reward potential...and you can limit your losses if you use money management properly...I especially enjoy this site because we can openly discuss trading issues/questions without feeling un-easy...I think the majority of us are here to learn, and luckily for you and me...there are some more experienced traders who are willing to share experiences. Im sure you have visited other sites, so have I...but I feel more comfortable in this one because we acknowledge that we may all be at different experience levels, but we are all on the same team with the same objective...so its good to help each other...could be for a strategy, charting service, broker etc....Anyway..not to be long winded...but wanted to welcome you to the site...hope you learn a lot, and good luck with your future trades....
