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

Hi Jonathan, glad to see that you joined BBT as LT Member and that more people from Latin America is joining us!

Hello World!

It's an absolute pleasure to join a like-minded community. I have been that kid playing alone in the sandbox throughout HS and college, even though drama free but I have to say that its a down side on my performance. I found BBT community through Andrew's book (How to day trade for a living). The first official day trading book I've ever read in my 2 months day trading profession. I have very little experience in day trading and the market in general but do have other characteristics for becoming a successful trader. I hope to gain some guidance here and will make my own contribution where possible. 

I am Keene. I'm from Fairfax, Virginia. Like most of us here, I had a few other careers before. I'm current co-owning a small local cleaning business, and before that I was laid off from my sr. network engineer job. My career path is somewhat unorthodox. I like the unknown. 

Freedom to travel is my priority now, a trading career seems to fit best into this life style. I currently live in Peru but wish to go to as many countries as possible. I'm also a vegan, so when Andrew mentioned that he doesn't consume animal products, I pulled out my card and signed up for BBT. 

Again, please to meet everyone here. Have a great day!

Hey there Ranajit! 

Absolutely. Likewise. Whenever you're in Nova, hit me up. I'm glad you're learning a lot here. Tomorrow would be my first day in the chat room, i don't know what to expect yet but man i'm excited.

I'm sorry you've lost your job. But from experience, this might be the best thing happened to you.

Hi all! My name is Sam, but everyone calls me by my middle name Logan. I just joined the group after I retired from the Air Force. I live outside DC in Maryland. I've invested and traded for year but this is my first time day trading. I listened to a lot of audio books during my daily 2 hour commute when I was working and came across Andrew's book. I was hooked after that.

[Tricia Whyte 1]

Hi, 

 

I'm Tricia - I am from New York , my background is management with some finance.  Three years ago I was introduce to trading and did it occasionally but rarely successful. I am home and have more time to apply myself seriously to this profession so I can gain knowledge, experience and grow professionally as  a day trader. I heard to this I must be a member of this community so I am here ready and willing.

 

Nice to meet you guys!

Logan, welcome. If you trade in the afternoon, hopefully you'll join Mike and myself in the chatroom. Mike is a recently retired marine (don't hold that against him). Look forward to hearing from you!

Hello all! My name is James and I live in London. Had been looking at getting into day trading for a while then the lockdown came and it seemed like a perfect time to learn. I have a keen interest in travelling and Photography which is a little side hustle of mine. Looking forward to speaking with you all more.

[CliffG 31]

Hello all,

I'm Cliff, and I currently live in The Netherlands. I'm British, but not lived in the UK for nearly 15 years (Moved to Malaysia in 2007, then moved to NL in 2016). I currently work in IT in the Oil Industry, and with the world not using much oil, my job is at risk right now. I'm married with 3 kids (2 are v.young).

I've dabbled in Trading/Investing in the past, some crypto, some 'social trading' (eToro). With everything happening at work, I feel now is the time to stop playing and start taking it seriously. The lifestyle of a day trader is very appealing, the fact that you are your own boss. The fact that you are in Cash at the end of the day, therefore protecting you a lot better in the event of a huge crash. But I also appreciate that to aspire to that level of comfort, I need to put the work in (just like in any other business, or a University course). This I am now ready to do.

Each day I learn new stuff, and I realize so much more that I don't yet know.

There are things I still need to figure out in the fundamentals of my own setup - such as a Broker and Platform. Cash reverses are an issue. I don't have anything like 25k to avoid PDT. Setting up IB UK still incurs PDT rules  .. Oh well.. While figuring this stuff out, will be going through all the items in the classrooms here. 

It was my wife that convinced me to pull the trigger and become a lifetime member, and so far I can't fault it. BBT looks like a fantastic support platform for people that wish to take it seriously.

Take Care all
