New member - Steve from Cheshire

So i joined at the start of the month and figured it was now time to introduce myself.
Who you are? Steve
Where you are from? Cheshire
What stage are you at in your trading journey?
I'm very much at the start. Only recently found out about this so taking small first steps into trading.What's your background? I found match betting in May....at the start it was great but I soon started to have nagging worries about the longevity of it. I started getting gubbed and the main advice people had was to bet less or give money back to the bookies in mug betting.
Once I started to think there wasn't much of a future I started looking at alternatives and found the podcast....it seemed the perfect alternative so after a bit of research I decided to give it a go
Why did you join BTC? I joined because the advice in the podcasts seemed sensible and I'm smart enough to know I need the help of others who know what they are doing!
What are some of your trading goals? Extra income, at the moment. Pro trading sounds great but at the moment that's a long long way off.
I've started off following 1 set and forget strategy. I know there isn't much to these but I think the next step will be to add a second one and go from there
Set and forget seems more manageable for me and with a young family being glued to screen isn't realistic for now.
Have found the information on the forums invaluable already.

As it happens just outside of Chester. I'm a bit biased but I like it as a place to live....
So far I've found answers to most of my questions around staking on the forum or the most recent profit. As fate would have it the set and forget I started with was laying under 1.5 and wouldn't you know uts the latest YouTube video!
Slow and steady seems the best way as I'm pretty risk adverse by nature and when the plan is long term doesn't seem much reason to rush things

@steve-fletcher-0 great to have you here! Whereabouts in Cheshire are you? I'm around that way a lot and love Chester particularly.
Sounds like you are approaching this the right way, slow and steady wins the race!
If you need any help just give me a shout.
