Proud moment.
The first 2 yrs of my trading career I literally just held my head above water & wasn't making any real $.
EVERYTHING I bought went on my credit cards for 2 yrs straight!
I racked up so much debt. I had faith I'd be okay down the road.
I refused to take any $
out of my trading acct bc I didn't wanna lose my PDT status. When I started FT in 2018 I had near perfect credit, by 2020 it was wrecked along w my pride. I maxed out 5 credit cards. My trading improved a ton in 2020 & I've been working hard to pay off the debt & high interest.
I haven't used a credit card in over a year. I'm happy to say, my credit score is back, I've paid off 70% of my debt while still paying my bills & saving money. I will be debt free this year!
I will NEVER forget the overwhelming feeling of debt & defeat.
Smell ya later debt! π
Going FT Trader is hard AF. The internet makes it look so easy. It isn't! It wasn't until I truly understood #thestrat & started teaching it that my trading turned a corner. The psychological weight of being the sole provider for your family is a heavy one. This is why I am so
passionate about the strat & teaching it to anyone I can! You ARE capable of greatness, I promise! You just have to want it more than anything in the whole world, not accept failure as an option, stay positive, stay hungry, never quit & always give it your best shot. π
My background, how I got started & how I found the strat.
Holy cow was I nervous talking to @rfaloona. This was my first ever interview & you can clearly tell!
Drinking game idea, take a drink every time I say 'um'!

β RANT! #thestrat-tosterone is getting out of hand. I'm over it.
I personally, am here to teach to those who WANT to learn.
I'm NOT here to push it onto people, or say "how great I am", need my di@k rubbed, challenge others, or act like everyone else's way of trading is wrong.
The ones who are looking for a new, successful strategy will find us! Why spend ur time arguing with people who don't wanna learn the strat or say something u don't like? I don't have time for that BS, I don't wanna see it or be part of it in any way. Very unbecoming!
I'll be unfollowing any 'strat teacher' I see displaying this behavior. Get your priorities together! Are u here to teach or are u here to feed your ego? Who cares what some stranger says about ur strategy? If u do, I feel sorry that u have such little self esteem. #EndRant
