Background

​

My journey began in 2008 when I discovered Forex trading online. I still remember the day when I opened an account with my broker and started to familiarize myself with concepts such as "Go Long" and "Short now". While it was a universe to be explored it seemed very familiar to me. It was really simple: Buy one currency and Sell the other. I believe that everyone who has been on a holiday abroad knows exactly what is the procedure. Many people have done it multiple times but the difference was that I could now do it online easily from my house and also earn some money. On top of that, 2008 was the year that the global financial crisis happened and which brought the banking system to its knees. Almost every big bank was exposed, goverments had to intervene to save the banks, people were losing their jobs and everything was unstable. It was a complete mayhem in the real world but paradoxically it was a complete paradise for Forex traders. There was huge volatility in the market, opportunities arising all the time and many people made a lot of money.

​

However, I was not one of them really. As much as I wanted to make an extra income for myself, I didn't know how to trade properly. I was lacking consistency, a critical component in trading and I was making several mistakes each time that made my money disappear from my bank account. In reality they just got transferred to the people who knew how to trade with a plan. And this is what happens: you lose the money and someone else gets them from you. They were just better in Forex trading. I did learn though that Patience and Discipline are essential qualities if you want to make it in this business.

​

I did spend many years after that trying to educate myself. I read about Japanese Candlesticks, Trading psychology, Money management, Fibonacci trading, Gunn Theory, Elliot Wave Theory. Things related to using the different indicators in trading, which combinations are the best and how they can be used to make better decisions in the market. Additionally, which kind of trading style would suit me best: Swing trading, Day trading, Scalping, Intraday trading. As mentioned before, it is a vast universe and the more things you disover then the more things you really want to learn. My conclusion however was that there is no such thing as a "Holy grail". You will not find a system that makes you tons of money without doing anything and even if you find one, it will not stand the test of time. What you need to do is find a strategy that suits your lifestyle and trading style and which has more than 50% sucess rate. That's all. Nothing more or nothing less to anayze.The moment you do find it then all you have to do is trade according to your strategy and in the years to come your money will increase and your business will grow. And believe me when I say that is a very profitable business and you need to treat it as one. One of my big mistakes for years was that I was spending 1-2 months making enough money and then I would lose it all in 1-2 weeks due to the lack of discipline and because I was not treating it as a business properly.

​

Nowadays

​

I am still trading on a daily basis and I do not believe that this will stop in the near future. I have reached a point where I make extra income online with minimal effort if you compare it to any other normal job. But it is not only about the extra income but rather about the quality of life that I have. As a trader, my office and job exist in every country where Internet exists. I can do it while I am on a business trip, while I am on vacation and independently of where I am. I can be in the US, Asia, Europe, Africa and still make money online. The procedure is the same. And that is the beauty of Forex Trading, it gives you Freedom above all. It gives mothers time to spend with their children, fathers to provide to their families and everyone to go on nice holidays. The Forex Market never sleeps and you still make money while you are sleeping.

​

I know it sounds ideal and up to a point inexistent but because I have been on both sides of the scale: as a Trader and as a Project Manager, I decided to make this site and give the chance to everybody to have this kind of freedom. Everybody deserves to spend more time with their children and to go on holidays.

​

I was never in favour of people posting online about the immense wealth you can make on the Internet and how much money you can get in a night or in 30 days. I believe that each person has his own definition of wealth and what matters in life. For this reason I am not keen on providing any substantial proof of money with pictures of my bank account or how much money I made in the last 30 days This is not what Forex trading means to me and how I want to run my Forex business. You will discover on your own how much money you can make and you will define how much is useful for you. I am not asking for any money or selling anything on this site. When you start your trading business then you become part of my business and this is enough for me.

​

I will however show you pics of my trips and the experiences that I have acquired thanks to the financial freedom through Forex trading. The value of Forex trading is not in how much money I can make in one night or in one month but in the value of the memories I will have in my life.
