Beginners - Introduce yourselves!

[cynic]

Hello fellow people,
I'm as green as green, doing lots of reading and strategising but yet to "grow a pair" and start.
I reside in Brisbane and without broadcasting to my network I am finding it very difficult to find another like minded person to learn and bounce ideas off ! It's nearly like a secret society
Looking for a small but steady as she goes and possibly turning this trading/educated gambling to a lifestyle in the next 7 or 8 years once I figure stuff out

Welcome aboard!
P.S. After seeing your amusing choice of nic I am barely able to resist the temptation to reply Whyshouldu - anyway, wade right in and you'll be certain to find some resonance from amidst ASF's delightfully diverse community.

If you're interested in the stock market then I'm sure you'll find plenty of like-minded people here to bounce your ideas off. It's what this place is all about.

Enjoy!

Hello guys.

I'm new to this whole investing thing and have a lot of question, but I thought I pop in here and say hello.

Anyway, I'm off to search through the forum and try to read something I can understand or at least some thing that can answer my question.

I have decided we need a thread where those new to ASF or to the stock market can introduce themselves to the rest of the community. This way, we can avoid having 1,000 threads where people introduce themselves.

I have decided that this thread will be it!

So please, if you haven't already, feel free to introduce yourself!

Hi All
Ancient newbie - retired and tired, disabled and bored, and utterly ignorant about trading. But I have plenty of time on my hands and looking to learn.

Hi I came across this site and thought it looked interesting. I manage a SMSF, enjoy trading shares and thought I could learn from experienced traders on the site. I live in Sydney on the northern beaches and look forward to reading the threads.

Welcome Ylnam! If you enjoy trading shares then you're in the right place. ASF has been around since 2004 and there's plenty of educational, entertaining and informative discussions and debates in the 24,000 odd threads here.

I hope you enjoy the forums and if you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Thanks much appreciated

Hi to everyone at ASF,

Just here to do exactly what the thread suggests and introduce myself.

My friends call me Wolfe and quite simply, I'm here to learn! I hope over time I can share what I've learnt with others, but for now I'm just going to try and absorb as much as the old grey matter can handle!

If I ask a stupid question somewhere on this forum then I apologise in advance. If I knew the answer I wouldn't ask, and the fact it's stupid just proves how much work I have in front of me!

That said, nothing worth doing in this life is easy, so time to start putting one foot in front of the other and see what happens.

thanks
Wolfe

Welcome Wolfe! I hope you enjoy the forums. You'll find the search function very useful in tracking down past content that may be of interest to you. There's fourteen years of discussions and debates on a wide range of topics to explore.

Don't worry about asking stupid questions. As they say, the only stupid question is the one that's not asked.

If you have any questions about how things work around here, please don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks Joe,

You don't happen to know if there are any summary posts lurking around the forum that link off to some of the great content thats been shared over the years. No worries if not, but thought I'd ask.

Thanks
Wolfe

Hi Wolfe, some of the really useful threads you will find pinned to the top of the first page of the list of threads in each forum. Look for the pin icon below "Start Date" when viewing the list of threads in each forum.

Another good way of tracking down popular threads is to click on "Views" at the top of the first page of the list of threads in each forum, just to the right of "Replies". That will sort the threads by the amount of times they have been viewed with the most viewed threads at the top. (See image below)



Otherwise, I would just recommend doing "Title Only" searches for keywords related to topics that interest you. A thread that one person finds useful, someone else may not. So it's very personal and depends on what you're looking for.

Welcome trading@riat and traderace_mkt. There are a lot of traders here but also a lot of investors who hold stocks longer term.

Hi, I'm a beginner and am interested in automated trading. I am currently working on a database-enabled ORM wrapper for IG's REST API (and plan to incorporate the Streaming API too at some point). Basically handles getting data from IG and putting it into a database with as little fuss as possible. I will be releasing it open source in the next couple of months. I'm not really sure where's the best place on the forum for this type of discussion, suggestions welcome.
The reason I joined the forum was I might be OK at building software, but I realised last week that I know very little about the mechanics of trading, so it was time to start learning.

Hey guys! I just joined ASF. So far I have been enjoying this experience. I look forward to learning about forex and sharing experiences and stories with the ASF community.
