Hello Bear Bull Traders,
My name is Troy Hollon. I am a firefighter from Winchester Kentucky (Just outside of Lexington).
I have been interested in the markets for several years. In January, right around the same time my first daughter was born, I found Andrew's book. His book grabbed my attention and made me want to seriously look at trading as not just an interest, but as a way to make some extra money.
I love my job as a firefighter, but it doesn't pay very well. It does allow me to trade at least three days a week though because my schedule is 24 hours on shift / 48 hours off shift. If I ever want to do anything more in life and feel more financially stable, I have to either spend the majority of my time at work working overtime, or find something to do on the side. Trading is what I want, and I want to find success in this community with other like minded people.
I've been watching Andrew on YouTube ever since I read his book and, as of recently, am a new member of this community. While I am saving up for a trading computer, I'll be in the chat every day I'm off work and I'll be learning all I can about trading in order to better prepare myself for the simulator. I've set in my mind that I am going to succeed at trading, so I'm in this for the long haul. I look forward to getting to know you all and experiencing success together.
Troy
