Would you like to quit your job to become a full time Forex trader? If the answer is yes, this video is for you.
Hey, traders, Andrew Mitchem here, the owner of The Forex Trading Coach, video and podcast number 269. Got some really exciting news to share with you.
Living the dream and becoming a full time Forex trader
Would you like to live the dream? Would you like to work from home and work from anywhere, quit your job, become a full-time Forex trader? Because that's what most people who get into Forex want, don't you? That's what most people really aim for. And it can be done.
Now, I know it can be done because I've had many clients do that, but just this week I've interviewed another client who has taken that step to becoming a full-time Forex trader. He's quit his job, his name is Imre Gams, he lives in Toronto in Canada, a real, nice, smart, intelligent, young man. He's worked for Google, he's worked for Apple, so he's right up there with being a very smart guy.
Client becomes a full time Forex trader after seeking a mentor
He took my course back in August of 2017, some eight months ago, and I interviewed him, and I asked him what the process was that he went through. He's been through Brazilian jiu-jitsu, he's been a fencer, as in the sport fencing, he's done many things in his life that he's always sought a mentor for, because he's seen it as a shortcut to success with a good mentor.
So, he did some reviews, he found my course a while ago, joined last August and basically has been very thorough with everything he's done. You can hear the interview. It's on my homepage. I'll put a link below this video. It's 38 minutes long. It is highly, highly recommended if you watch the entire thing. There is so much you can learn from that video, even if you just want passive income from Forex, but just watch the entire video. Take your time, grab a coffee or a cup of tea or something and sit and watch the whole thing.
A lot of dedication and back testing to prove the system to himself
Imre started back in August 2017, went through the course, he's been dedicated, he's asked questions, et cetera, like a lot of people. But he's done extensive backtesting on the course, he had huge confidence after doing extensive backtesting, and then a few months ago he decided to quit his job and go live.
Now, a few weeks ago he started sending me emails of some of the money withdrawals he's taken from his account, from his live trading. Very, very, very impressive figures. Not going to reveal how much. That's private information for him. But it's well into the six figures that he's withdrawn just this last quarter.
Making 5% return on trading account per week
And as he said to me, “I've made more in the last quarter than I made in the entire last year.” And he's now, as he said, living the dream. He's working from home, he's making around 5% return on his account per week with very low-risk trading, very low drawdowns, and only about one hour of actual trading per day.
He is spending more time with his continued learning, his self-development, his self-education. His whole knowledge-base is constantly growing, and he puts time and dedication into that. He's spending a lot of time each day with backtesting, looking at different ways of trading my strategy, different timeframes,
