ROI can now trade with confidence! My trading journey is similar to most. I've been trading Forex on and off for 6-7 years. In the past 3 years, I decided to take it seriously and try to make the trading full-time. After learning and trying various concepts, I ended up getting funded using Smart Money Concepts. However, trading seemed like a struggle, I could never cope with the uncertainty of starting the day not knowing if I am going to have a profitable day. The string of losses (to have then one trade to make up for the losses) was mentally draining. I even had negative days in a row. I have tried joining various trading groups to learn to be more selective in picking my trades but this slightly improved my results. I have noticed most traders (even the successful ones) in the groups face similar issues, and this aspect was discomforting. In my quest to improve the trades, on a Facebook group, I have seen Nick speaking of a better way to tackle the markets. While I was committed to my way of trading and did not want to continue jumping from one system to another as I did in my early years, I was intrigued and decided to approach Nick. The first question he asked me was "what is your confidence (aka win ratio) in approaching the markets?" And that question had the word that has been troubling me: confidence. After taking Nick's course, in a relatively short period of time, I was able to reach days with at least an 80% success rate. Also, I have realized that every day can be a trading day (but be mindful when the news events are happening) Nick has a fresh, unique way of approaching the markets, different from what I have seen elsewhere. While trading, during the years, I was able to see "things" but I was never able to put them into a system. Watching Nick trade and explain his thought process helped me connect the dots and make sense of everything. I have transitioned from a predictive trader to an adaptive trader. If before I was trying to be Nostradamus (price will come here, then will go there), now I have clear, concise entry and exit rules; I am able to see a pair's movement in its incipient stages. One other aspect that was a big surprise to me was the simplicity of how to approach the markets. Regardless if one decides to use or not Nick's tools, just the thought process alone is worth gold; to me, this was the most important thing; it brought me simplicity, clarity, and confidence. The tools are excellent, they are the perfect companion in analyzing the markets and the perfect barometer to decide when to enter and exit a trade. I appreciate Nick's dedication and his patience in spoonfeeding his concepts to the new traders. I am very happy to be a part of this community!
