Please, Noobs...

I'm suddenly inundated with friend requests from people with 0 to 2 posts. No Thanks. Get some experience first. I've tried your idea and got stuck as a babysitter and had to squash some feelings, which I don't like doing.

Understand, I'm NOT a full time teacher or hand-holder. I trade myself, all day long. If you're a trader seeking help, that's different.

I would just set the requests to ignore, that's what I do when things get busy. It's not that I do not want to make friends, but I would rather trade and try to make some $$$ than hold anyone's hand.

I know some of the newbies must be feeling desperate, just wanted to say to all the noobs out there, we have gone through the same thing.

Here's what we did: We went back to school, worked out what we did wrong, researched online for more lessons, strategies, backtested them and after consistent performance, moved shop to live account.

What we did not do: send out spam requests to people you have not interacted with online..this is sure to turn off quite a few, good luck.

One noob with 3 posts asked me to trade his account for him. Talk about an idiotic request! I trade for me and me alone, period. When I assist other traders, they notice I never ask them the size of their acct. It's none of my business. People seem to think Forex is some game with team members, NOT!

See if you can report them in and whatever you do, do not reply to the er..request. That just seems to egg them on to blitz you with more insane requests..
LOL, looks like you have become popular with the noobs, what's your secret?
