Hi, My name is Jonathan from Uruguay I´m really happy today and wanted to share with you all that I have just signed up for the lifetime membership to BBT. My trading career and passion for the markets started about 3 years ago after reading both of Andrew books,. Since then I´ve been doing many things and learning a lot every day, I signed up about a year and a half ago to BBT chatroom but then I didn't have the knowledge and mindset that I have today so I tried many other things, courses, chatrooms etc... like every new trader I went all over to find and learn everything I could. In my quest over the last 3 years I made a lot of money and lost a lot too, I was making decent money swinging stocks and writing options and took some money out to start day trading, I was totally confident on my skills and knowledge so I decided I should go live without even trading on demo for a while, as you all could guess, obviously, I did everything wrong, from position sizing to risk control etc and blew up the whole day trading account in a few months. SO far I´m still net positive so thats a good thing I´m still on my path to be a consistent profitable trader, still healing the wounds and scars that blowing up and account have left on me but I know this is my passion and what I want for my life. After being around for a while and trying most of the things that are around( chatrooms, furus, gurus, services, you name it..) I can honestly say that BBT is the place to be, and thats why I´m back for the lifetime. I´m also a big fan of SMB capital I did their DNA for a succesfull trader course and when I saw that Mike Bellafiore got together with you guys I knew I had to come back. I´m looking forward to learn and share my trading experience with you guys. HAGW everyone

Welcome to the BBT community @Michael Morgan, @Ashley294, @BautiDR, and @cindyishh. Look forward to seeing you in the chat and do not hesitate to ask questions, everyone in the community is here to assist.

Man, I wish I had that kind of financial drive when I was that young. Welcome! Hey Cindy! I’m from SF as well We have quite a large group of traders from the area. Keep an eye out for a Bay Area meetup; hopefully we’ll have one soon after the stay-in-place order has finished!

Welcome Cindy and Bautista, you'll find it's a pretty friendly and helpful community on here. crippling Student debt is one of the great scandals of our time in my opinion. when I went to uni in the 1980's the Govt, paid the the tuition fees and gave me a grant to live on (without needing a scholarship or the like). I had soon paid them back in taxes, when I started work - now you have to pay taxes and debt.

Hi everyone! My name is Cindy. I'm 25 years old and from San Francisco. I'm new to trading as I just started learning in April. I'm currently working as a full-time pharmacist. I realized that my student debt would take way too long to pay off for the life I want to live. I found out about trading and felt that it would be a good path to head down with the eventual goal of working less hours and having more freedom in life. I was learning from a different community but didn't like the vibe and didn't feel like the members were very supportive of each other. I was also searching for more information to learn when I found Andrew's book and BBT. I decided to try BBT's 1 week trial last week and was blown away by the professionalism and level of support members had for each other in this group. I felt like I learned so much more in 1 week with through this platform than I did in the entire month of April so I HAD to join. I'm so excited to keep learning and growing with everyone! Cindy

Hey Everyone, My name is Michael Morgan, I'm 26 and live in New Castle, Pennsylvania. I'm an afternoon/nightshift supervisor at Steelite International. For the past year I have been looking for a second source of income and trading was something that I became interested in. I have no experience trading but after reading a couple books on the subject and then reading both of Andrews books, I feel this is definitely something I would like to pursue. My long term goal is to become a successful trader and maybe one day this could become my permanent job. I am looking forward to meeting everyone and learning some new things. Cheers, Mike M.

Awesome thank you. Definitely getting it through the link!

Welcome back it is great to have you in the community. Look forward to seeing you in the chatroom. Safe Trading

Bienvenido a BBT! Excelente que empieces tan joven este camino del trading, aprovecha para aprender y experimentar a tu paso, tienes toda la vida por delante así que no debe haber prisa ni FOMO! En BBT habemos varios miembros que hablamos español y algunos de Argentina.

Mike, trading is a long term game so don't rush into anything and don't put pressure on yourself to achieve quickly. Build your skills and experience and hopefully one day you can replace that job...but not until you are consistently making more than the job trading!!

Ashley, sounds like swing trading might fit your life best at this time. Brian Pezim's book is great for that and you might consider signing up for his alerts and newletter here: https://bearbulltraders.com/swing-trading/. Welcome to BBT!

Welcome. Great to see you here. Take your time and don;t be afraid to ask questions. We are all here to help! Cindy, I hope to see you in the chatroom. Say hi and good luck on your trading journey!

Hi everyone! My name is Ashley and I’m from NJ. I’m pretty new to day trading but am so glad I found the BBT community. During the day I work from 9-5 however, after reading both of Andrews books, trading is definitely something I’m interested in pursuing! I’ve learned so much in a short amount of time here and am looking forward to learning more and getting to know everyone!

Hey BBT Community! My name is Tony. I recently moved overseas with my wife, who works for the foreign service. I thought I would look into getting more into investments and the stock market while I work part-time and finish my masters. I have a limited background in value investing and swing trading. So far I've been in the black (better to be lucky than good sometimes). But felt I needed to further my knowledge. After hearing Andrew Aziz on a podcast, I thought I would look more into day trading and I have been amazed at the level of engagement with this community. I've already read the first book from Andrew, as well as How to Swing Trade by Brian. I look forward to finishing up the book on Advance Techniques in Day Trading and getting through the rest of the great training material BBT has to offer. I am excited to be a part of the community and learn from everyone, and I look forward to the future when I can hopefully pay it back. Best, Tony

Good afternoon BBT community, My name is Andrew, and I'm from Morris County, New Jersey. I am still fairly new to trading, and am currently continuing my education through books, online videos, and now by joining a chatroom. I also trade PaperMoney through my thinkorswim mobile app, for additional training. I am currently saving up enough money to purchase a worthwhile desktop computer that I can use to trade seriously, as trading from a smart phone is not conducive. I am looking forward to continuing my education with BBT, and especially getting to know everyone. Cent'anni, Andrew aka Tracksuit Trader

Hi BBT, My name is Justin and I'm a self-employed Management Consultant based in Melbourne, Australia and am just getting started on my day trading journey. Keen to connect with any fellow Aussies (and the wider community) on BBT to learn more about their experiences day trading from Oz. Have been a part of the community for a day and am excited about the opportunities ahead! Cheers, Justin

Hey BBT, My name is Romell, I'm a Correctional Officer in the Bay Area, California. I started trading April 1st after finishing Stock Investing for Dummies( don't recommend this book at all). Thanks to that book my swing trading portfolio is doing pretty well though, but it always felt a little too "hands off" for me. It turns out a friend of a friend was a professional day trader for 3 years using Andrew's books. Him and I had a long conversation about it and it seemed like it would be a much better fit for my personality. So right now the plan is for me and my wife to practice in a sim account and learn as much as we can. Hopefully in a few months we'll be using real cash and this can become a decent second income...or my new career, who knows...

Hi All, My name is Ranajit, i am from Richmond, Virgina. I am a casual swing trader. Recently i lost my job due to the pandemic and now i am more serious on trading.

I am just 3 days in the chat room and i am feeling great. Thanks Ranajit C

Hey Guys, My name is Marcus and I live in Bend, OR. I am brand new to the group but liking it so far! I own a small composites fabrication shop in Central Oregon where I employ 5 people. I am looking forward to meeting the members here and learning as much as possible.

Hola amigos I started studying day trading about a month ago, when I had to close my business due to a little thing called covid19. Maybe some of you have heard of it? My experience over the past month has been pretty wild. This is all before finding BBT. I decided to jump right in and open a TOS account, join a few chat rooms, take a few cheap online courses, and crossed my fingers. Unfortunately the world that I fell into was penny stocks. Whoa, what a crazy ride that is. I got into some pretty wild covid19 players and my account skyrocketed. As you could imagine that didn't last very long. After about a month of that I thought that there had to be another way. I quickly figured out that I like technical analysis and price action way more than trying to figure out the fundamentals of a company. I also realized that I don't have the emotional stamina for penny stocks. After doing some research I found Andrews book and quickly became interested. I joined BBT last week and have been loving it. The community and support seems amazing and, with a background in psychology, I love that this group really takes that part of trading seriously. I live in Portland, Or with my wife and 2 daughters. If anybody is ever in the area let's meet up. I would love to meet other traders. I am also on the lookout to network and find other traders who would be up for starting a small group within BBT to help each other out and keep each other on track. If anybody knows of a group that exists or is up for creating one with me let me know. Adios, Casey!

Hello all, I'm living in Bangkok, but originally from Canada. Have been spread betting for about a year without knowing what the heck I'm doing. Tired of the slot machine and the hulk days and I'm now ready to really learning from first principles and getting my trading act together. I've quit my job (before all this covid stuff) and decided to focus full time on trading to immerse myself. I just joined last Monday and had my first few days of sim. Already learned so much from the trading vids and the chatroom. Also the community has been great and already learning from others here. Looking forward to becoming a consistent trader and being in control of my psychology. Feel free to send me a message if you see me in the chatroom - I'm RickBKK Cheers, Richard

Hi Everyone! I am an Optometrist in Canada but I've always had a secret interest in trading I just didn't know how to start. My husband actually bought the book off of amazon a few weeks ago for himself but once I got my hands on it I couldn't put it down. I joined BBT a few weeks ago and have been watching the classes and morning chatroom. What a great community. I just started in the DAS simulator -- Right now I'm working on customizing hotkeys and layout and focusing on 1 strategy at a time. If there are any other new traders practicing in the simulator that want to connect, I would love to get a small group together to throw around ideas/tips. Please reach out to me! Look forward to getting to know a lot of you here. Lauren

Hey Ladies and Gentlemen, I grew up in North Texas and recently moved to Southern Idaho to follow my best friend and girlfriend into the first job of her career after she got her Masters Degree in Aquaculture. I joined BBT a few weeks ago and recently became a Lifetime Member after getting a taste of everything going on here. I have been trading for a handful of years on and off, I listened to Andrew's book back in early 2018 on Audible. I was always afraid of getting into trading intraday until I started thinking about my future more and what I wanted to do with my time. I am an independent insurance adjuster for a living so I travel and work in areas of natural disasters inspecting homes after hurricanes, tornadoes, and wind/hail storms. With that line of work, I have times where I work 16 hours a day, 7 days a week and times where I am off or out of work for weeks/months at a time. So you could say my job is very cyclical. I could get a call tomorrow and be asked to be 900 miles away in 48 hours, ready to work. I always wanted to find a job to do when I wasn't working insurance claims that I could start and stop in a moment's notice. That led me here. I've sim traded for months now and am looking to sim trade for a little bit longer while I get my Playbook ready and find a platform that I really like. I have already learned a lot from BBT. Andrew, Brian, Thor, Aiman, Carlos, Norm, Peter, Abiel and Mike B have been great. I have been reading some new books I hadn't heard of until I got here and I have been able to shape my mindset away from dart throwing and into patience and probabilities as much as I can. Thanks to everyone that helps out here on the site, the staff, moderators and contributors. Thank you all for being around to help, your good work and positive attitudes make everything here possible. See you in the chat!

Aloha everyone! I'm Wayne, a new equities trader. I found BBT from YouTube and after some digging decided to take the plunge. My goal is to become a Consistently Profitable Trader and join the ranks of the elite performing traders. Happy to be here!

Hi Sanchit, I am new trader and member of Bear bull trader community since last few months, needed some info on broker platform and other details while trading from India. Your support will be appreciated.
