My name is Ville and I live in Helsinki, Finland. I am 27 years old and have a Master´s degree in Structural Engineering (2018, area of expertise multi-storey timber buildings)
First time I realized that such a career as day trader exists was on Christmas holiday 2018 that I saw a youtube video about it made by Nordnet Finland. Few weeks later I bought Andrew's book to be read during flight to Thailand.
Then during the next year (yes it took the whole year to get courage ) I read Andrew's book a couple of times making notes and planning. At the end of year 2019 I bought a monthly subscription to Bear Bull Traders and started trading with DAS SIM. I think I am in such a wonderful situation that NY market opens 16.30 pm local time thus I have plenty of time to go work before that (we have flexible working hours too) Since I still have full-time job I can only trade few hours in a day, 2-3 days in a week to keep my social life, so it has now taken almost 8 months of SIM trading. At least I think I haven´t tried to get rich fast?
I am planning to go live soon and have gathered some savings for that during the years. However I´m having a baby boy (my first child) in 4 weeks so I am not sure if my live trading will reschedule to later due those sleepless nights and extra expense Also my wife in going to continue her studies so I feel a bit of pressure to keep our family income steady.
Sorry my post is a quite long one! See you in Chatroom and on other Forum topics!
Sorry also that I waited so long, but we Finns are slowly warming people
