Michael Gonzalez

Jayden Russell
How did you learn to trade? No need to spoonfeed me, just specify if it was books, videos or just messing around till you got it
Angel Brooks
all 3 honestly, podcasts was the biggest, just listening to other traders talk and shit, books are good but i only read maybe 6 or so, a good amount of messing around is required too not super sucesful, only 2-3k a month together, enough i dont have to wage slave for anyone but myself
Jonathan Bell
> pulling in about 2-4% a month for the past year
what the fuck is that? do crypto
Lincoln Sanchez
When I was 22 I had $4.5 trillion. If you’re not making more than Bezos you’ll never make it. KYS
Camden Davis
dont like crypto, dont wnat to do it, im good with forex, 2-4% is consistent, i havent had a losing month in almost a year
James Campbell
Immediately tell them to fuck off and get the fuck out of your life, it does not matter if you live under the same roof, it's your own life. >liberal arts degree Lmao holy shit your parents are clinically retarded if they think that brings success
Eli Martinez
lmao tell me about it, she thinks shes gonna be a traveling musician, tour and make 80k or some shit, i told her i had a friend persued the same path, got his masters in this shit, wanted to own a recording studio and travel, dude couldnt find a job over 12 an hour with a masters, i told her that and she and my parents we're all iike "well she has more talent than your friend" yeah sure, they seem retarded desu.
Easton Ross
Wew they sound totally in denial. Your best choice would be to drop them as soon as possible and live your own life.
Henry King
they are desu, just dont get it, il be out in octover or november, just got to put up with it i guess
Jaxon Parker
>forex trading might as well play video game.
Ayden Hall
No offense man, but you sound pretty pathetic and are pretty delusional.
A successful hedge fund manager is groomed by having jobs in finance at large institutions. No one is going to give you money to manage because "muh forex gains". You need to get a college degree in finance and start working for a real firm. This is also why your parents hate you. They can see your delusion yet you get on here and try to deny it.
Good luck. We'll all make it eventually.
Grayson Gomez
>own 2 business >trade forex >almost 40k
>40k
kek, get a job faggot, your parents are right, stop being delusional
Ryan White
i understand man, im not trying to get a job as a manager though, im just to attract some investors, ive already had a few show interest in me, i understand why everyone is saying im delusional though
Cooper Kelly
op you are a delusional fag. You won't make enough to live on your own, 2k is not enough in europe so in the usa it would be worse. Get a degree in finance or math if you want to go professional with this shit.
Ayden Hill
What is the best way to start learning and trading?
Henry Diaz
pfff look at all these poor fags. when i was 21 i had already made my first 10 million. kys poor fags
Nolan James
babbys first Jow Forums here. I don't understand Forex, would you care to indulge my brainletism?
Do you just daytrade on volatility? Do you invest longer term in growing economies?
For example Ethiopia is growing rapidly now, would it be unwise to pump a bit in Ethiopian currency? what about Venezuela? they can't exactly get much worse for longer before they throw Maduro out and start fresh, would that be an option?
Also 2k per month NET is above average in Belgium.
Carter Jenkins
ONCE I GET MY CERT I CAN OPEN UP A HEDGE FUND ONE TWO THREE
children writing this shit have no clue
Lincoln Hernandez
its because you are, i would never give some big ego kid my money
Luke Lewis
Belgium is 3rd world country shit
John Stewart
I am talking about brutto which the gov will take 50% from if you live alone. He is making 2k before taxes I assume, so same shit.
Austin Clark
40k isn't shit mate, and your 2-3k per month sounds pretty tenuous. Take the ironpill for the next year and just save up as much as you can. 1: Grow your businesses and trade with larger amounts. 2: Take your parents' advice and spend less time on computer games. Work harder and start going to the gym and eating well 3: ignore the situation with your sister. Obviously they are deluded, but there's probably nothing you can do. Stop trying to help them and just focus on having a good relationship with your parents. They do care about you, even though you probably feel like they are just picking on you because you're young and a bit immature.
William Wright
Where are you from? Let's have a laugh.
Gov takes at most around 30%, probably lower for independents. Average net wage is around 1.5k if I'm not mistaken - not including boomers who've worked for 40 years.
Jace Nguyen
40k aint nothing man
Hunter Davis
In US 140k is nothing
Jordan Lee
Why woulld you not trade shitcoins on the side? Most day traders I know tried shitcoins and said it was super easy. Could be a small 1k investment.
Jonathan Wilson
Oh also don't listen to these fags, if you can do 2-4% monthly it is quite good. It depends how much you trade with ofc.
Gabriel Gonzalez
Buddy let me give you some advice for free: if you have the means to GTF outta there, do it and don't look back.
Also, that whole sibling jealousy/rivalry schtick is for retards, love your sister and don't be badmouthing her like a little bitch. Peace
