Trading for money is hard but not impossible.
3 years ago I was facing eviction and running out of food to feed my kids. I had No Income due to being hurt at work and awaiting surgeries.
My girlfriend told me about how I could make money Forex Trading. My 1st trade I BLEW my account trading $CL without understanding position size, my 2nd trade… with all the money I had left (AND BEING DESPERATE), I lucked out and made $800… STILL, without understanding position size.
I gave her the profits because she led me to a stream of income to make money, even though she didn’t know how to trade herself at that time.
I said to myself “if I could lose money this fast and make money this fast, all I needed to do was figure out a system that could make it work long term”.
If I could rewind to a few months earlier, I had enough money saved up to stretch a few months more until it all ran out, but I gambled by the way in options trading and taking signals on Twitter from Ryan Rizobani, Prophitcy, Zac Morris, Shinobi Trades, CheatCode and some other accounts that I didn’t know were kids running them.
I don’t blame these guys if they sucked at reading charts because I took the risk to follow out of desperation and got cooked miserably.
$18,000 GONE in 2 weeks, mostly from lottos and late calls.
I lost everything and was at wits end.
Even if I didn’t trade it, i would’ve spent it all and ran out… just a little later and it still ended up not being in time for my major surgeries + recovery.
After taking those two trades and seeing how both outcomes were somewhat within my control, I began to earnestly study the markets.
I spent time going through so many different theories on YouTube, but all of them advocated for low win rate and I knew that this would be hard on my mental capital as a new trader. I quickly grew maturity from those options losses and understood that 30% winning / 70% losing could never be what my family depended on to eat (that’s just me personally and the situation that I was in).
So I stopped following people and began to watch the market from sun up to sundown for weeks.
I ultimately became profitable with trendline trading and was able to buy myself more time to study. I was closing trades in profit, withdrawing and paying everyday bills that were behind.
It was such a satisfying, feeling to know that my family’s success was within my control so long as I exercised discipline and proper risk controls with my capital + system.
Many of you would be laughing at me if I posted that PNL in this present day, but that was enough to fuel the success that I now have today.
I spent 16 hours a day, 7 days a week for 4 months straight with no breaks getting all of my answers from the market to feel as confident as I do today in trading.
While most people have a smug attitude towards backtesting and demo trading, that’s exactly where I found my profitability. That gave me the confidence to not only find the same repeatable setups, but also learn how to manage risk in conditions that would ultimately repeat themselves EVERY DAY/WEEK and still does to this day.
I wasn’t on social media, I wasn’t in anyone’s mentorship, and I did not even know who was who or who was beefing in the trading industry.
I set out on a mission, with my back against the wall, to save my family from the destruction that I created.
I knew that my discipline in both studying and trading had to match my desperation if I truly wanted to not only find success, but also save my home.
Things didn’t get better in days after learning, but it gave me a little bit of comfort that I was on the right path to mastering how to read a chart and trading it.
It is my hope that, with the free information I’ve shared and the tools I did not have when I was in a low place, that any of you reading this who are struggling financially simply do the things that I did with what I’ve shared… to get to where I am now.
You owe it to your family and self.
