Forex/Commodities Trading? Anonymous 2016-10-23 16:25:32 Post No. 1582602 [Report]

Hey, everyone.

So I'll be leaving my current position (project manager at a sales and marketing company) to return to college and finish my engineering degree. I don't want a typical job, so I'm exploring some unorthodox alternatives. I heard about Forex/commodities trading and I'm very interested in it.

I first got interested in trading after reading NNT's "Antifragile". Not sure what /biz/'s opinion of Antifragile is, but reading that book, frankly, changed my whole worldview re: risk management and redundancies.

Anyway, I have some savings- note: I wouldn't be using all of my savings with this. I'd probably just stick to barbelling with high-risk ventures.

Is this a stupid idea? A decent idea? What would I need to get started?

Thanks

Is there something special about this cryptocurrency?

Also, I was under the impression that cryptocurrencies are just a meme.

Highly speculative?
Cryptos can really benefit from luck, i.e high potential for widespread adoption
Other than that, what is /biz's idea of high-risk, high-reward investment? GXY?

I realize one of the biggest factors in trading is luck. But cryptocurrencies seem incredibly unstable.

https://cryptowat.ch/kraken/btceur you don't often see a clearer uptrend than this;
Also, what I meant by "benefiting from luck" is the asymmetric risk reward (huge upside, limited downside). The price of this shit goes up more than linearly against the demand

Day-trade gold, like I do. Be expected to lose though.
