Tuesday 4/30/2019 I had a well-being score of 6/10 this morning. Nerves were OK. Woke up early again and had plenty of time to prepare. Took two live trades first with AAPL then MU. AAPL was in play from premarket so I was focused on it at the open. AAPL had a nice “Vish” setup, I just was waiting for the price to break the $203 level. It took a few tries before it finally broke. But I completely missed the entry by 20c. I had to look at my video to see what happen. It looks like my finger was on the trigger then AFTER it broke the level I realized that it is almost 9:32am and my share size was still on the 1min ORB size. So I quickly switch to full size and took the trade. Though I did this fast (~0.5 sec) I lost 20c on the entry destroying my R/R. So my rule is just to get out of the trade, but the price moved in my direction almost immediately. So the next thought was should I get out completely at my first target and insure a small win. So I asked myself would I take the trade now, if this was a new trade? The answer was yes, if it broke the 200MA. So I took a partial, enough that my stop would be all the way back to VWAP. Price never broke the 200MA, then fell back to VWAP. When it broke VWAP I S/O. So it only cost -0.5R. If I remember that lesson about changing the share size after the break it will be an inexpensive lesson. What it looked like when I took the trade: 1min chart 5min chart My next trade was on MU. I am glad I got to practice on a 5min ORB. MU had a strong 5min candle, but still small compared to ATR. The 1min chart looked very bullish. I didn’t take the trade at the break of the 5min candle because there was a strong TL just above it. So I waited for the break of the TL. I guess the break wasn’t clean enough because the price floundered for 2 minutes. Now usually when I see three 1min candles get deflected from the same resistant level I am very bias to get out of the trade. But I hesitated because I thought the last push through really did break. So I wasn’t able to recover back to reality quick enough to take an early stop. The price very quickly dropped to my S/O point and I exited at full -1R. What I did good today: I did take two good setups and I learned a lot on these trades. How did I challenge myself today? I let my Trade Ideas account expire and I used my Etrade account instead today (which has TI included for free though a little less bells and whistles). It was OK, I need to fine tune it a little. What I did bad today: Poor trade management. One bad entry and one not so great exit. What can I do better tomorrow: Must change share size between 1min ORB and 2min ORB much more smoother.

Tuesday April 30th, 2019 Sleep: 7.5 hours. Mood: alright today. My mind has been a mess the last couple of days from taking six losing trades in a row. i want to focus today on taking recognizable setups that are in my edge with an entry that makes sense. First trade of the day was an ORBD in NXPI. i was nervous about taking it short above the 20MA on the 1min chart but it looked good on the other time frames so i went ahead and took the trade. after two minutes of going no direction, i started getting nervous and thought about getting out of the trade but it wasn't going against me so i held on. a minute later it squeezed hard and i got out at 0.5R. glad i did, I would have got stopped out for a full loss. GOOD: good trade management, good entry. RFI: not that great of an R/R. i did the math in my head and i thought it was fine. MOOD: fine, plus i moved on to a different stock and didn't try to revenge trade what turned out to be choppy. CONSISTENT: yes. Last trade of the day was in JD. it closed the first 5 minutes above the VWAP and then made a nice 5min candle above the MA. This was an ABCD in my mind. I risked a new 5min low to the high of the pre-market. I wanted to get in at VWAP or at the MA but I was watching other stocks and missed the first pullback to the 1min MAs. then I FOMO'd the entry fearing it was going to move without me. It came all the way to my stop loss but i reasoned that if I had waited, this would have been my entry so I gave it a minute and held through the pullback and got out at my profit target. i'm not happy with my entry but i am happy with my trade management. GOOD: trade management was excellent. RFI: FOMO entry, R/R not great. MOOD: happy with the trade overall. glad i didn't partial. CONSISTENT: yes. Really happy with my trading today. i was mindful of my trading and didn't get sucked in to any bad trades that weren't trending. What i did good today: Took only trades with setups, didn't try to force any trades. What i did bad today: let the FOMO get the best of me and entered my JD trade too early. What can i do better tomorrow: This is the kind of trading day i want to have everyday. i need to let the trades come to me and not force trades.

I took that trade too. Was a good set up. Just didn't work out. Great on you stopping out. I got out at the top of that candle. : (

Trading Challenge 1 - Negative Started the trading challenge yesterday and didn't get around to posting my trades. This is a big step towards my consistency and live account. I'm used to trading with $5000 so my sizing is bigger. Will be showing my trades, p/l, etc. 4/29/2019 Yesterday was rocky. Made some good trades, ended up down 2% so around $550 after commissions. Worked my way back to -125 after commissions so less than 1%. I made good trades after I was down, but my market open trades weren't stellar. I blame my trades (some of them, lol) on an external distraction causing me to miss the few minutes after the first 5. Missed some killer moves that probably wouldn't have resulted in these trades even happening. Ah, well. $TGT goofed me around. First two trades were probably too early. 3rd trade I took I felt was a good entry and just didn't work out. Went hard on $MOMO and added to my position at break-even. Didn't get the move I was looking for and stopped out. Did unload half my position size to make a possible loss easier. Then, got back short again at the 9MA 5-minute and stopped out before it tried to take my soul. Whew, DODGE A BULLET!!! I misread $OXY. Went short and should've went long. Figured since it closed below the 50MA 5-minute, it was a short even though it closed above the 9/20/VWAP 5-minute. Foolish mistake. Went long after a close above the 50 and stopped out before it fell off a cliff. That one just didn't work out. $PROP was a potential banger. Went long above the 9MA 5-minute towards VWAP looking for a pop. Sold half at VWAP and the rest at break-even. Just didn't break out. My savior of the day was $SPOT. Went heavy on it and constantly told myself.. don't chicken out, don't chicken out. Held on and got that killer move. Wish I had caught it at open when it dropped 6 points after the first 5-minutes. This just shows that moves happen throughout the day. In total, -125 is nothing on a 25K account. Still got plenty of buying power to put some points on the challenge board. Didn't blow it up so I'm proud of that. $TGT 4/29/2019 $MOMO 4/29/2019 $OXY 4/29/2019 $PROP 4/29/2019 $SPOT 4/29/2019 Result:

April 2019 Summary: Postmortem: Overall, My entries are good. Respecting Stoploss. No overtrading or revenge trading. But, my partials are so bad, need to work on that to maximise profit.

Hi Patrick, I myself went live only this month. You have captured wonderfully the emotions and the technicalities of your trade. I am trying to learn these aspects myself. If I may, I would suggest to bring these trades to the Trade review with William session (Tuesdays'and Thursdays 3 PM EST) that is a wonderful session where everyone shares their trades (good and bad) and learn from it. Also, I think your first trade (M* - I don't think it is MU) is good, there is always room for improvement in any Trade, but you shouldn't beat yourself up. This is how I would handle the following issues, again this is my personal view. Respect Stoploss - This is difficult, especially at the Open. I define my stoploss, and I look at the level 2 with the mouse over montage. If my stoploss gets hit, then I exit immediately not looking at the charts. Sometimes looking at the charts gives you false hope. First 5 min trading: If you want to avoid this, just lock your DAS montage for the first 5 mins. Unlock it only after 5 mins, please write me if you don't know how to do it. An extra step, may make you to pause a bit and think. Hulk Trading: If you keep overtrading and can't control you may think about this option. This is probably an extreme step, but I think will help you. If you keep overtrading and can't stop it, try to bring down your broker amount within PDT rule. Then you are allowed only 3 trades per week. And when you have limited options, you try not to jump in on all the trades, but only where you see the setups. The easier option is just go back to SIM. Tradinginthezone: If you haven't read it, please listen to this audio book. I think he addreses lot of your emotional status. .

Thought I would share my journal template with those interested. It's still a work in progress and I would appreciate any feedback or suggestions. Each day I capture the DAS Trades log and closed P/L. Also add a few notes about emotions, health, state of mind, etc. Then for each trade (in/out), I log the detailed entry, stop, target, strategy, etc. There are additional comments where I jot down my thoughts and areas of improvement. I have a summary sheet which contains a running total of all trades to date: And from this I can graph an equity curve: As well as calculate statistics things such as: Average Risk/Reward by Strategy Number of Trades by Strategy Win Percentage Etc, etc. Here is the data presented graphically in another post. I'm still learning in the simulator, so I haven't really found any use for the statistics yet. However, the data is there for when I am ready to analyze and review my performance quantitatively. Let's see your journal templates!

My Plan to Trading Success: Background: One of my friends from German language class recommended Andrew’s book on ‘How to Day Trade for a Living’. After reading the book, I joined the BBT community in Oct’2018. I was on SIM for 3 months, completed the first BBT challenge. And finally I went live on 8thApr’19. I am new to Trading and hoping my journaling and feedback from fellow members will help me improve. My preparation before going Live: These are the books I read before going Live, apart from the BBT classes. It was very important for me to learn as much before going Live. Also, I read these books in the order mentioned below. I also listened to the Youtube audio version of Trading in the zone, the week before going Live and I must say that it helped calm my nerves a bit during the Live week. -How to Day Trade for a Living by Andrew Aziz - A Complete Guide to Volume Price Analysis by Anna Coulling - Advanced Techniques in Day Trading by Andrew Aziz -Trading in the zone by Mark Douglas -The 1 Hour Trade by Brian Anderson Strategy & Goal: During the first year(or 9 months) in 2019, I don’t have any target to make. My primary goal is to gain experience Live trading, to be emotionally stable when things don’t go my way and manage positions to my plan. And achieve all this limiting my loss. Good thing, I have control over how much I can lose, so I have decided to keep 100$ per week that I can lose (ie. 4000$ till end of the year). This is the max amount I will lose to the market, nothing more. This is not ‘Scarred Money’. It is something that I am paying for my experience. If I make any money along the way, then it’s good. It doesn't mean I dont want to make money, it just means, I am not in a hurry to make money. But I do plan to make a lot of money from trading may be a million $ some day. I also have the following measures to limit myself at the beginning of my Trading. Funding Account: I am not funding my IB account fully. I am doing it in 5 small transfers (roughly one each month). This limits my buying power during the initial months. Even if I make a DAS mistake I can’t buy more shares. As I improve my trading I start funding more. Under PDT rule: This also means, I am under PDT rule, and can make only 3 trades/5 days. This prevents me from overtrading. I am also extremely picky as my trades are limited. I think being picky is a very good habit in Trading. Stocks to trade: I don’t trade $TSLA, $NFLX which are very volatile. I trade $AMD, $MU and other Stocks in Play on a particular day within my price range ($15-$30) and not very volatile. I trade high priced, volatile stocks in DAS simulator or TradingSIM to feed my FOMO. Share size: I trade 50-100 shares per trade, depending on the Stoploss and volatility of the stock. I am not using my Margin from IB, but only Cash that I have funded. As I improve my trading skills, I will slowly increase the share size. Risk Control: Within my 3 Trades a week, first one I give it $50 Loss, 2nd and 3rd one $25 each. But because of my small share size and stoploss, I am well within my allowable losses during initial months. This is second level risk control. Rules: Only one trade at a time. This was my main issue in SIM. I get into multiple trades in SIM and end up in huge losses. Even if the action goes my way, I am unable to exploit it to my advantage as I am unable to follow my profit plan. Stick to my StopLoss: Many days in SIM, I had ignored my Stoploss and ended up in huge losses. Then I make some good trades and reduce my losses. End of the day, It gives me a feeling ‘If only I had respected my StopLoss I would have been green’ Don’t trade within 3 mins: My rule is not to trade within first 3 mins. But if the setup doesn’t exist, then I must wait till 5, 10 or even 15 mins from the open. Trading Style: I prefer VWAP trading (VWAP pullback during ORB, Reversal & False breakout after 10AM). I also like to trade 50/200 MA bounces especially on higher timeframes. I am not good at MA cross reversals. Quote I need to remember while Trading: "You will regret more about the STOP you didn't take than the one you took early"

I think I should give a little introduction to this. I start sharing my journal with you on the advice of Robert, and by this day I read the daily trading coach, so it's seem obvious if I want succeed in trading reaching other traders will greatly help. I'm a full time firefighter since 2009, father of 2 little girls, I started investing in markets 5 years ago, last year I read Andrew's 2 books and after became a lifetime member of the community, I did 3 months in simulator (almost honnestly) and I'm live since March 22. I really struggle, I had several Hulk days, breaking my rules, trade without real setup, chasing entry and FOMO is now my second name. I can't recognize me in this actions, I'm habitually so disciplined and calm, sometimes I ask me if I have what it takes. Today I had an Hulk day (15 trades) I traded in the first 5 minutes (against my rules), trade TSLA (the price is against my rules). I won't share all this trade, I will post my worst and my better for today, I will appreciate any type of comments and advices. P.S. I'm a french canadian, feel free to correct my english mistakes, I will improve my english at the same time as my trading. Routine: -Read 2 lessons from the daily trading coach -Be at my desk by 8:30 -Doing my watchlist with Carlos's premarket show -5 minutes meditation at 9:05 Physical state: -Feel good, I've a good night (8h) Psychological state before trading session: -I read a lot yesterday night so I felt focus -Confident -Excited Goals for the day: -Placing my stop loss cleary in my head before taking the trade -If I feel frustration concentrated to my breathing -Wait for the setup Psychological state after trading session: -Bad, really bad, my first tought was I just cant, I quit. -I disgusted myself to had another Hulk day and breaking so many rules -I was mind fuck till the afternoon were I get back to my feet and searching for growing and solution from this. What I did good: -Catch VWAP false breakout, I was pretty good at this in the last days What I learned: -I have to find my edge and stick to it -I have to internalized more my rules from my good trade and days, I must attach to them more emotions and feelings. How I felt at the moment I took the trade: -Agitated -Anxious What I told me during the trade: I cant wait to my profit taget, I lost money in the trades before I cant have the trade reverse against me and dont have any profits on it. Strategy: VWAP false breakout (short) Signals: Break the VWAP and after candlestick close below VWAP on 5min chart Entry: Just below VWAP at 130.10, but I enter in the trade 2 times before, I saw thw setup but lack of patience to wait is ready. Stop loss: A break above VWAP (R: 0.10) Profit target: Daily level 129.42 (low of pre-market I think) Risk/Reward: Almost 7:1 Exit: Way to much partials because I was nervous from my last losses and finaly hit my profit target and even more What I did good: -I'm happy recognize this pattern very well What I learned: -I should wait to let the setup get ready -I should wait for my profit target How I felt at the moment I took the trade: -Very not comfortbale beacuse the high price and I donr realy trade any strategies What I told me during the trade: -What the fuck I'm doing -Please work Strategy: -I just see the down trend and it break VWAP, so not really any strategies, all about feeling Signals: -Lower highs and lower lower -The break of VWAP Share size: -50 shares Entry: -Just below VWAP 254.55 Stop loss: -A break above VWAP +-254.90 (R: 0.35) Profit target: -Low of the day 250.55 Risk/Reward: 11:1 but I think my profit target wasnt realist Exit: Stop at 255.47 way higher than my stop loss What I did good: -Trying to learn fron this and hoppefully I took a small position it's the only positive I can see What I learned: -Higher price stock is not for me -I must respect my stop loss -Wait for a real setup with a real strategy Thats it for my first trading day sharing, I hope for your comments and advices, this day is not representative of the majority of my day, it was really a Hulk, bad and sad day. I dont trade tomorrow because I work at the firehouse. Thank and have a nice weekend guys!

Trading Challenge 2 - Negative Today.. No points, but didn't blow up again. Should've stopped while I was up $120 after commissions, but was trading for the challenge and knew that wasn't enough. Ended up losing it all and negative for the day. Ah, well. Had a few misreads, but overall traded well. My last few trades irked me a bit and I decided to quit for the day. $OXY 4/30/2019 $OXY was my banger for the day. Went 800 shares heavy for the ORBD. Got the move and took two partials. Wanted that 57.15 level but it stalled. Got back in for a long on it and got caught in a fake out. I think the trade was good, but didn't work out. Came back with a long that I thought would pop higher and stopped out near break even. Swapped to a short after getting a close below the 9MA 5-minute and stopped out. Really got frustrated on that last one. $NXPI 4/30/2019 $NXPI was trash. I went short at open after seeing the price action not holding its gain the first 5. Stopped out on a huge squeeze. Didn't have time to stop out effectively. Came back with a long the next minute on a heavy size looking for a pop and stopped out again. Wish I didn't trade $NXPI at all. $JD 4/30/2019 $JD was a jump the gun trade. Tried to catch it and stopped out for a loss. Thought we'd get a wash down to the 50MA after the first 5-minute close below the 9/20MA 5-minute. Could've waited for more confirmation. $WDC 4/30/2019 All smiles on $WDC. Took it long on a bounce off the 9MA 5-minute that didn't hold. Took some profit before it crashed then swapped over to a risky short and scaled out quickly on it. Came back with a reversal and was hoping for a squeeze. It was risky but the squeezed happened. Took everything off after it felt like the squeeze was ending. Result:

25-Apr-19 First trade was $MSFT. Gapped up on earnings. Went long above all the tech levels. Took a small partial after 20c move. The price turned against me and I got stopped out. Hindsight, this appears to be a bearish pattern, not sure why I went Long. Good part is I respected my Stop loss again and got out at the right time, price dropped almost 1.5$ in 1 min after my stop. $MU was on my watchlist. A bit choppy at the open. Took long at the pullback close to VWAP. Entry $44.10 Stoploss below VWAP (10-12c). Target was at a level around 44.84. But move was not so great. I partialed too early and too many times. The price remained bearish throughout the day. Due to limited trades, I am not able to get back into the action again. I trade in SIM after the live trades. As a postmortem, I need to think about my partials.

If you have emotional problems or anxiety, then from my experience and learning from professional traders, is that meditation is a very important practice that anyone pursuing trading needs to add to their morning routine. I personally think it is way more important than trading prep, such as reviewing stocks, and making trade plans around what is moving pre-market. When the market opens, anything can happen. Meditation allows you be aware of how you are feeling, and reacting to that. It gives you a chance to change your behavior before it destroys your day. I meditate every day at least 10 mins in the morning. I also like to do it at night. It has a cumulative effect

April 29, 2019 - $AMD (Partial x 2) I took a trade for a 15 minute ORBD, but it was a little outside my edge with regards to the risk to reward. This was mostly due to getting a bad entry, which also contributed to having to exit at the break even after taking a partial. 2nd sample set is complete, which fell on a good week since I will be traveling a lot this week and won't be able to trade Thursday or Friday. Sample Set Results P G S P E S P P P S G 12 13 14 S P S S P 20

A well thought out plan. Much better than mine when I went live.

Todays was not a great day for me, no trades went on my way, but I learned a lot and most important I follow all my rules and goals for today. I traded MOMO 3 times, 2x for the 5min ORB and 1x for the VWAP as resistence level Physical state: -feel a little bit asleep, I worked last night Psychological state before trading session: -calm -focus on rules and being patient -still have some doubts about my abilities Goals for the day: -3 trades max -no trade in first 5 minutes -only 5min ORB and VWAP false breakout Psychological state after trading session: -not happy, but not to disapointed -happy I had follow my rules What I did good: -follow my rules -be calm -managed the risk -dont think about p/l What I learned: -VWAP is strong but the resistence level can be at another level -be cautious to identify new trend like higher high and higher low and dont trade against its wishful thinking How I felt at the moment I took the trade: -calm and confident What I told me during the trade: I was just aware Strategy: 5min ORB Signals: Break the 5min range and VWAP as potential resistence level on the 1min chart Entry: near below the VWAP at 33.66 Stop loss: above VWAP at 33.85 Profit target: low of pre-market at 33.23 Risk/Reward: 2.25:1 Exit: stop loss at 33.83 What I did good: -respect my stop loss -good entry -be in control of my emotions What I learned: -The resitence level could be at another level than the VWAP -maybe on the 5min ORB I should take profit quicker (more scalping) How I felt at the moment I took the trade: -Calm and confident What I told me during the trade: -if the VWAP couldn't support I got out Strategy: -VWAP as resistence level Signals: -on the 1min and 5min chart VWAP seems to be a potentiel resistence level Entry: near below VWAP at 33.63 Stop loss: above VWAP at 33.80 Profit target: low of pre-market at 33.23 Risk/Reward: 2.25:1 Exit: stop loss at 33.78 What I did good: -manage the risk -respect my stop loss -have a clear plan What I learned: -the resistence level wasnt VWAP it was at 33.88ish -The trend has change I short against 5min higher highs and higher lows

Welcome Patrick, I have found that sharing my journal helps keep me honest with myself and prevents me from rationalizing bad decisions.

Live trading summary for week ending 4/19/19. A good week. Both my health and my nerves improved. My first week, since I have gone live, that all may trades I evaluated as “good” trades. Not necessarily winners. Just trades that I followed my setup and execution rules. Stuck to my new 2 trades/day max. Even after my double stop out yesterday, I had no trouble sticking to my rule. My max trades per day are so ingrained into my brain now. Revenge trading seems to be under control now. It took 10 months to get it under control, but for my personality, that was fast!! Since all my trades are trending toward mostly good now (note the table below), I think the 3 tier trade critique does not have enough resolution anymore and I need to develop a new scale. Up until recent I really had three types of trades, 1) being completely stupid (usually trade without a setup), 2) not stupid, but still not following rules or 3) following rules. Now that I have been, for the majority of recent trades, following my rules, I will create a score card and start to evaluate my trades closer. So I can start fine tuning. I like the way Mark D does his trade evaluations and I will use it as a base and modify it a little to fit my style of trades. My trade evaluation by week: I usually increase my risk per trade at the beginning of each month (if the previous month was positive and void of hulk days). But, I also had a rule that had never been satisfied. If I go a week that has positive equity and I followed my rules on every trade, I will increase my risk/trade. So next week I will increase my risk/trade from $36 to $42. So next week I need to create a way to give each of my trades a score. Follow my rules and see how I handle the higher risk. I must keep are sharp eye on my chart configuration. I will be checking it twice a week. Still kicking myself that my chart configuration was wrong yesterday. Happy Easter!

2/21/2019 Watchlist: Result: $NKE - Went long on $NKE after consolidation looking for high of day. Price action fell off a cliff. Sold for a loss. Tried again with another long and got out after the price action felt like it stalled again. Got back in for a short thinking we'd get a fade, but I was too early. $CAR - Went short after the first 10 minutes looking for a fade. Price action was strong, but the opening sell off I thought it would continue down. Went short at the 9MA 1-minute, got stopped out thinking I'd get squeezed higher. Price action sold off a bit before bouncing. $CAR - Got back in later for another short after getting a close below the 9MA 5-minute(but above VWAP). Got a late fill, but missed the drop on the 1-minute candle for a possible cover point. Covered for break-even. Price action squeezed from there. $CGC - Went short on $CGC after getting a close below VWAP/9MA 5-minute. Price action pushed down but didn't hold. Covered at break even.

Hi all, Having a journal is a must. I feel like I have learned so much about my trading in just the 2 weeks trading live because of this journal. For anyone starting out like me, if you are serious about this business, take the time to have a detailed journal. How else can we improve something we are not tracking? I focus more on the details of the trade and what I was thinking at the time, IB has tons of report performance reports that I can pull later if I want to see the numbers crunched. Here is a screenshot and detail of my journal, I have 3 main sections on my recap: Screenshot Link: Click Here Section 1: In this section I record how I feel Physically and Mentally in the morning before I start my trading day. Comment if I was able to get my morning routine done as planned. (My mourning routine is gym, sauna, get to my station and write my Journal Intro, review previous day recap, then build watchlist) Section 2: Here I add a screenshot of my Das Trader Account Report, with the me a summary of what I traded for the day. At the bottom of the page I also have additional screenshots of the detail transactions. Section 3: In this section I track some information of the stock like float size and how I found the stock. I also note down details of the trade like the strategy, position size and details of the price action shown on the screenshot. The best part about this section is the “Well Done" and "Improvement Notes”. I read on “The Daily Trading Coach: 101 Lessons for Becoming Your Own Trading Psychologist” how important it is to track what you did well on a trade. This way your recap is not all negative but also highlighting the good things that you should continue to do. Software: Just some information on the software I use, I track my Journal on Microsoft OneNote. As you can see on the pages tab I track all my Trading stuff like highlights of the book I am reading and any training course notes. If you have not try this software please give it a shot. It has a lot of great features, syncs with all devices and is completely free. Thanks. Carlos M.

Hi All, my name is Carlos M. I am 32 and live in Northern Jersey, few minutes from the NYC. After 12 years of working as a Senior Operations Manager, I was laid off this past December. My company purchased GE Appliances and moved to their headquarters in Louisville, Kentucky. I thought I would be more upset about the layoff but I had 12 amazing years, and I was ready to move on and try something new. The company gave us almost a year and a half notice, that was more than enough time to prepare. (Plus a nice $$$ for years of service and sticking around until the end :) ) As my work started to transition to the new company, I found myself having a lot of free time during the day. I always had an interest in trading stocks and this was the perfect time to start practicing and getting ready. I did another online course and trading that did not work out (that’s a story for another time), and then I found Andrew’s Book and Chatroom community. Signed up for the Platinum package, I did the simulator for about 4 months and when live this month (January 2018). Looking forward to possibly meeting up in the near future with others traders and continuing being part of this amazing trading community. Carlos M.
