I was not able to update my previous idea coz the market was so nice for me today, today was better than yestarday,GOOD PROFITS,my weekend will be awesome.

For those who managed to secure profits Congrats!for those who got their accounts ripped off i'm sorry.

I'd like to share something really and seriously important with you as traders.

MY SHORT STORY!
I have had my ups and downs as well in trading, I remember i started trading with just $100 and it was lost within 3 days my account equity had only $0.63 left, it took me 1 full month to decide to get back to trading and it was worse coz i really wanted to make profits so i deposited another $100 and lost it again,only this time round i had some extra cash so i went ahead and deposited $150 only to notice my troubles were not over yet,so it was as well lost within à week,I never gave up so i deposited another $100 and yes i did make profits, i did get $80 extra and thought here is the green light, but sadly my account was cleared.

I decided to get help so i went on Telegram had a chat with someone i never knew, he proved to be good in trading, only thing is i have to be an investor, so i invest then i share thé profits 50% with him thought it was a good deal,so he requested me to invest $300 and not a penny less, i did Thé deposit,gave him my account details and let thé guy trade for me, at first he started well he made $309 in just one day & i knew this was the guy, so we continued doing business, so my account was reading 609 that was really impressing me the second day nothing worked he lost half the profits he made,I became worried and had to ask him, but he replied with too much confidence and said "i'll tripple the amount just wait, I said okay let him do his thing and since i saw how he could do it instantly, so i knew he was going to do it, but then the unexpected happen, i receive a margin call mail, only to discover the guy was still trading when i was actually sleeping, my equity was now less than $35.

Asked the guy the answer was he did a mistake and he insisted i deposit another $300 and promised he will recover all my losses, the guy had a telegran Channel so when i looked into it could see the guy making good profits for others, so I assumed his mistake and deposited more only this time round my equity didn't last even an hour, i was furious and changed my account credentials and stopped the madness.

Stayed out of the market for à year, i had nothing to do with trading just leading my life as usual with a. - $1150 going everywhere with me.

Then i came across a friend from the same group i was in after the year, told him of my trading journey and my friend was like " Man you need to learn what your doing before doing it " i asked him many questions but the main question was "Where should i start ? So he shared a pdf with me told me read this and understand, do not trade.

So i strated reading the book about candle pattern by the name "TRADING BIBLE" this book gave me ideaz of the patterns mainly but that wasn't enough after a while he sent me another book from an online trading course that he was taking, I read the book and understood it.

Décided to come revenge the market when iw as feeling confident, $300 deposit which i then lost within 2 weeks,which now was summing up my négative to -$1450, was so furious and said enough no more trading for me at all for Thé rest of my life.

Talked to my friend about it and he seconded my idea, so that was it " NO MORE TRADING FOR ME!" then at least 5 months later he showed up and told me "Brother don't fight the market instead enjoy it" he gave me $100 and told me to think wisely of what i'll do with it.

So i sat down wanting to deposit it and start trading again but something amazing happened instead, a link was shared with me clicked into the link and saw an online trading course which required just $150 so i said i'd rather learn before i start trading, I paid for the course but it wasnt that helpful coz the guy was just sending signals when i wasnt active in trading he also shared some patterns, a strategy which had already come across, so i had to quit and do it my way there and then i gave myself time to learn, did research got the info i needed,took my time and understood the risks, read different ideas from a lot of people, researched on youtube, google search and telegram then i came across someone else now he was my TUTOR and he showed me the way remember he didnt walk with me just pointed at the direction and about how i reach there was upto me.

The guy did the most amazing job whatever i've given him is still not enough i mean nothing is enough to repay him, so after almost 8 months i was back in trading only this time round it was a new version of me, started striking the market returned my loses and got even more up untill now!

What I learnt through the journey is failures lead to success, i also learnt every finish line is the begining of à new race and lastly think before you talk.

NOTE : YOU WANT TO MAKE PROFITS IN TRADING THEN YOUR EQUITY MATTERS SO MUCH, so the higher your equity the better your stand, at least start with $500 & consider your Highest lot size not to exceed 0.15, secondly Consider your brokerage spreads before joining any brokers,the lower the spreads the better and lastly learn from the best.

After at least 2 years of trading stress It's been 3 wonderful blue trading years for me and i see being a full time trader by end of this year!
