FXCM Trading Expo Today

{mosimage}
I have some good stuff from the Expo today.  Stay tuned over the next couple of days as I put my notes from the workshops on the site.  I actually took some pretty good stuff back with me that I'd like to share with you.

I feel that overall attending the expo today was well worth it.  I arrived at 8 am this morning and left at around 4 pm so it felt like work.  The turnout was very good and most of the workshops were full.  The diversity of traders was unbelievable.  People of all race, sex, and residency were present.  There were more men than women but women were still there in substantial force.  There were also trading partners, husband/wife teams, and boyfriend/girlfriend teams.

There were also traders that were still demo trading and others live trading.  I actually found it unbelievable in talking to some traders that they paper traded for 2 years before making a real trade.  I'll talk about demo trading a little more later when I mention the workshops.

As far as free merchandise, which I certainly did not attend for, I got a free shirt, some free magazines, a free mouse pad, a free 3-month subscription to prorealtime charting software, and a couple of other little things that I haven't explored yet. 

All in all, I have a renewed hope in the prospect of trading full-time eventually.  I do have a lot of work to do and it could take quite some time. 

I want to close with a mention of that fact that I was almost run over and squashed by an overly rude woman who thought there wasn't enough literature to go around in the last workshop I attended.  You mention a sure thing trading system where you don't have to do anything and people get crazy.  It was actually a little frightening the way some people were acting….
