Upendra 4 Posted September 1, 2020 Hello everyone! I'm Upendra, living in Phoenix since 2007. Just became a lifetime member about a month back. I've been in the IT industry for long time now, currently in a business development role with a local IT company. Family of 4, wife & 2 sons, elder son is studying CS here in ASU, Phoenix and younger one is in 8th grade. I got into trading quite late, only after the commissions were eliminated. Due to the covid WFH had time & started dabbling with day trading, swing trading just based on gut instincts and some tips from online articles & another friend who is a regular investor. Made some & lost some, decided to make an effort to learn about trading. Andrew's book was the catalyst to make me believe that it was doable and the right way to find out was to try on the SIM and see for myself. Like some of you guys, tried Ross Warrior Trader, he is good but compared to BBT, I found it to be a 1 man show and the low float/low price stocks were too volatile for a beginner like me. After the 2 week trial on both BBT & Warrior Trader I opted to join BBT and am glad that I did. For now I'm trading on DAS SIM, with modest goal of trying to first stay green consistently, then make $50/day, then $100/day - after that start live trading. Lucky to have got couple of fellow new Life Time members who joined me as a small group and we are trying to help and learn from each other. Whether or not I make the grade to become a full time day trader it has been a fun journey so far & its great to see so many people like me trying to make it to the next level. Take care & stay safe!

Amy Minh 1 Posted September 1, 2020 Hi there, I am Amy from Vancouver Canada So excited to have found this community. I just finished reading Andrew's book last night and observed my first ever live trading session this morning at 4:30 AM PST (there goes my beauty sleep :P). I am completely new to stock trading and frankly was afraid to try after hearing so many horror stories. During Covid, I have more time and seeing some friends benefit greatly from the March dip, I got interested in stocks. All of a sudden, my FB feeds is flooded with day trading courses lol. After some more googling, here I am. Hoping to get into sim practice this week while re-reading Andrew's book. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amy Minh 1 Posted September 11, 2020 Hi Wayne, I am new too. Focusing on vWAP and ORB but so far still trying to figure out DAS sim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Christa Lien 0 Posted September 12, 2020 Hi All, My name is Christa and I live in Southern California. I recently was laid-off from my job that I thought I would retire in. Covid-19 has definitely put a damper on things but I didn't let that stop me from bettering myself. Day-trading is something I have wanted to do for the past 4 years but always seemed to take a backseat with everything else going on in my life. With work, 2 kids, a husband and earning my real estate license it just ended up taking the back seat. Now that I have more time on my hands Day-Trading is possible for me. The first thing I did was buy Adrew's book and it was exactly what i had been looking for. Things that I could not grasp before just started to "click"! I actually did not know Bear Bull Traders existed until I read his book, but I am so glad that I did. I am a go-getter and willing to put in the work and time, but I just could never find anything that was as straightforward as Andrew's teachings. I can't tell you enough how much I brag to my husband of how I love every single class that I have taken so far. The material, layout, and presentations are fantastic. I have learned more in the past week than I have learned in the past 4 years. I currently have my DAS simulator set up to my preferences and will start working on hotkeys later this week. I have been practicing ORB's and ABCD patterns in the mornings while following all of you in the chatroom. I love that the chatroom is not used as an 'alert' platform but more as a teaching one. This is invaluable to me because it forces me to learn and find out what works for me. With that said, I am looking for a mentor to help guide me. Having someone there to help clarify questions and breakdown trades would be awesome. I am not quite sure how I get assigned a mentor but any info on this would be great. Thank you to everyone here and I look forward to continuing my education! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gail Scott 3 Posted September 15, 2020 Hi everyone, I am in Southwest Louisiana. I am a registered nurse, I have been in home health for 20+ years and I have been wanting a change but didn't know what direction to go where I could still make a comparable income without having to start all over again. I have always been interested in the stock market but it was never as easily accessible (internet, free broker accounts, no fees, tons of literature). I read a few market books and discovered Andrew's Day Trading for a Living which also got me to BBT and all I want to do now is learn more. I haven't been this motivated about anything in a long time!!! I love the format of the education and community here. I am in the intro membership now, I haven't committed to Lifetime....yet because I am extremely cautious with money, I will not be the one who "loses it all in the market" lol. So now I just have to make a plan and execute!!!!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

paul ang 9 Posted September 25, 2020 Hi I'm Paul, I'm from Singapore. I've been doing quite a bit of day trading and has been profitable for the past 10 days with no training. Also there was once my live feed somehow got disconnected, and I almost freaked out. And that scares the sh*t out of me. It's time for me to actually buy/subscribe to all the professional software and take this seriously. My main investment style is actually growth investing which is doing very well. I do some momentum trading to earn a few dollars to donate them away for any needy cause. So please go easy on me. This place is quite overwhelming. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
