Hi Surya, used to in the past, but with family and greater responsibilities I have taken the safe route and invested in property. I do still have shares in several top FTSE companies and investments in gold.

long time ago.... lost money..
if you enter a bull market, you become careless, start thinking you got it in you and you know how market works (charts numbers bla bla).
Reality is every stock is rising and you are randomly successful.
I am talking about average retail investor.

Cool! It will be great to learn then. I trade mainly in Gold, Silver and Crude (MCX in India). Mainly crude. Besides, this am slowly trying my hands at equity (NSE in India). Not yet tried Forex, though a year down the line, why not.

What is your view on these and how do you typically work in the markets? For example, news based, fundamentals, technicals....etc....

I entered the markets full time after marriage. before marriage had a full time job! So now, this is my profession. So I gather you are a long term investor?

Investing in markets is for newbies.

You want to make real money, get into alternative stuff- case in point- Bitcoin

You gotta love this shit.

How do you typically trade? Fundamentals, technicals, news? You into futures then I assume?

I for example, trade purely on technicals. Planning on taking the certification examination and preparing for the same.
