I had it rough trying to master this skill, I got into trading 2012 after my NYSC. During our 21 days camping @Blackgold KD, I met a guy named Kola who has been into online currency trading for long, dude is a mastro. After NYSC I couldn't lay my hands on a single job for 2yrs. 2017 I decided to link up with Kola to see if he can guild me into FX. But I got the shock of ma life, he told me he can't teach me FX and if I decide to do it on my own way I will hit rock bottom!

I was angered in spirit, dived into YouTube download all videos I could lay my hands on, at the time I had no penny, I always use MTN night browsing which cost about #50.

I started studying 7 to 10hrs daily and also listening to some podcast ( Alphamind&Chat with Traders) . After 8months of grinding I started straight with Live account, I never knew I was heading into my burial. Within space of 3 months I blew all my money including the one my late dad left for me and my siblings in his estate account. Around 2018 my sisters got admission into university , when my mom informed me , I ran out of house cuz I have lost everything to Forex ( about 4M) . That was how my sisters suspended the whole tin.

Around 2019, I met a friend who introduced me on how to make money online, it wasn't a legit way of making money but I was doing it just to earn a living, I became an affiliate marketer for one of the biggest Adu**t industries ( Crackrevenue) they don't accept Nigerians but I was cleared cuz of ma friends influence, I started clearing money on the table for them, whenever I got paid I will fund my trading account with $200, and kill it within 3 days maximum.

I have tried all the trading strategies in world, but all seem not working.

End of 2019 I quit forex trading. May 2020 I came again after losing $2k on crypto Binance futures. I started again by backtesting using forex tester software and tradinview premium.
I did this for long I can remember, went back again into trading fund my account with $380, within 3 months, I moved the account to $2200 with proper risk management, around December 2020 there was this major news event that happened on Yen, I lost about $8k due to slippage and I came back to square one.

Health issues: 2021 I had hypertension and after few days I was diagnosed of bellpalsy( facial paralysis) I struggled with this for 3months, anyways I got divine healing even though Bellpalsy has no remedy .

Breakthrough: around july if I can still remember I got funded with one of the prop firms FundingTalents, after few months FundingTalent stopped operation, I lost ma $100k account with profit of 8%. February 2022 I secured $200k live funded account and lost it after after withdrawing about overall 18%.

April I got another 200k mff account with 100k ftmo, I didn't withdrawal on the ftmo account and lost.

Overall , by his grace before the end 2022, I have acquired 350k mff and 100tft account.

This is my journey, man had it tough, lost sleep, friends and still haven't fully recovered from the facial paralysis cuz it affect my speech.

If you don't do it , someone else will!

[color=indigo]I thought I had iron will determination in forex trading until I met someone whose will is a combination of iron, steel, chromium, titanium and tungsten. You are the Terminator to the forex market...unkillable persistence.[/color] 😎

infofirst:
Humm... Fx market has done a lot of good nd not too good things to me since 2007. In 2015, I took a personal account of $500 +$500(bonus) to $12000. I withdraw $1k & took the acct to $15 k or there about and lost everything in less than one week.
Last year, I withdraw over $25k frm 3 funded $100 k acct and then went to lose the funded accts one after the other.
I have met great traderz tru fx and fx has made mst of them ran away from me after their promises to me were cut short.
@charly20 lost of almost 8% to losing a chance of a challenge acct with me was one shock I experienced last year.I was following the progress until I saw the shock. I almost wanted to use my hands to stop the back to back losses....

When I see many babies boast here, I laughed in swahili.
Note, no one should be blamed for losses but the traders. We risk more than we should. We gamble instead of trading. Brokers have a share especially during highly volatile time when there is slippage but no matter the slippage, if we practice good risk, we would b fine.

Overall, I have been fortunate trading fx. I will not quit because I have paid my dues. So I am not going to quit because I have survived the hurdles already.

Also note, you must change your approach before you can excel. Don't stubbornly refuse to quit. The market is brutal. Brutal than you can imagine. But there is huge reward for the smart, discipline and patient non gambling traders.
I have seen and met all sort of great strategies, great traders, great accts, great Scammers traders, they all failed eventually. The only trader I have seen, the only acct I have seen that do not fail in the long term are those with good risk mgt. I am not talking about 1:10 risk rewards traders not SMC traders... But those that followed the likes of what @meshpips shared.. Trading $1000 with 0. 01 lot and not opening more than certain lot size etc.
Its getting easier nowadays, more instruments data, better access to tech gadgets and internet, networking etc

I hope this random thoughts pass her msg

I refused to delete the 2015 screenshot. Find attached.

[color=indigo]This is really humbling. Your experience alone is a world of its own. I really appreciate everyone being transparent with their journey in this business. One key factor to take from every experience is disciplined money management. Without it, both skilled and new traders are doomed to fail.[/color]

gbosah91:
No, I have been using it

[color=indigo]Either the asset you traded has a minimum lotsize of $3 per pip or you were such in a haste to put on a trade that you forgot to adjust your lotsize. Always double check before you execute a trade and after you have executed the trade.[/color]

gbosah91:
Mt5 Bleep my trade up, I wanted to place a trade which I have been using 0.01 lot size. I didn't check the lot size before placing the trade. And what I saw is 0.3 lot size and loss of $9. Has anyone experience this before?

[color=indigo]Is this the first time you will use mt5? [/color]

GRIMMJOE:
Good to know, imagine making just 5% of a 100k account.

[color=indigo]...that is until you begin the challenge. It is easier said than done. I wish you luck anyways.[/color]

GRIMMJOE:
Boss, this one I'm seeing registration fees.

Do you know of any prop firm with free registration.

[color=indigo]All prop firms require a certain amount for you to purchase their evaluation accounts. If you pass the evaluation your fees will be refunded when you are given a funded account.[/color]

PIPSMARSHALL:
What has trading taught you so far?

[color=indigo]Trading has taught me to dig deep with my bare hands till I find the treasure hidden under the years of blood and sweat. Most importantly, it has taught me to trust myself, and believe in myself even when the odds seems great. I discovered me when I began trading. [/color]

GRIMMJOE:
Yes, how do I go about it, I saw this screenshot.

[color=indigo]The best thing you can do is to google prop firms and follow the links to their webpages. There you will find information on how to participate with their respective fees for each account. Trusted firms are FTMO, My Forex Funds (MFF), and E8. You need to pass the evaluation account test to qualify to be funded. All the information you need are on their websites.[/color]

abham:
There is a user that trades volume profile piptocoin or so, any idea if he has made a post in this thread?

[color=indigo]boss, been a while. I trade using volume and spread of candles. Volume profile is another concept which is not a tool I use. Hope the markets are friendly.[/color]

AK284:
Gbaa!
Original rubbish,I guess he doesn't understand the meaning of the word "Edge" self.

[color=indigo]A trader's greatest instinct is the survival instinct. Such trader will live very long in the markets. That is an edge in itself.[/color]

EASYLIFE4US:
No offense taken but isn't it best you bring your argument to disprove my load of rubbish to the table?

[color=indigo]A survivor will always live to tell the tale of the reckless person. When many accounts crash like plane on a rock, the survivor is the only witness.[/color]

GRIMMJOE:
What's prop firm, and how can I get it.

[color=indigo]The question should be how you can participate in proprietary trading.[/color]

[color=indigo]Happy new successful trading year, everyone. I see many of us are killing it. May our pip banks be fatter this year.[/color]

EASYLIFE4US:
Survival is one of the by-products of being consistently profitable in the fx business. If you're always in survival mode then it means your strategy has no edge to take advantage of inefficiencies in price delivery mechanism of the fx market as nothing is perfect in this world including the fx market. If your trading style has no edge which is the primary key to becoming a successful trader, then your trading account, no matter how big or small will always be snacks for the sharks.
Happy weekend guys😅

[color=indigo]This is load of rubbish. No offense but do whatever floats your boat.[/color]

[color=indigo]Do people even realize the stupidity in being promiscuous? If you sleep with any person you become one with that person. Soul ties are real. Every baggage one sexual partner has is transferred to the other. Generational curses are commonly transferred through sex. Depression is another evil that is transferred through sex. The list is endless. The bible said he who sins through fornication and adultery sins against his own body....all other sins are outside the body. Condoms and contraceptives cannot protect you from spiritual diseases.[/color]

SucrePlum:
I saw that story too!

@space9880

[color=indigo]I can only imagine the irritation you get from viewing her distorted look post-attack and surgery. Many, unlike her, did not survive their experience. Whatever importance they serve has been unalterably diminished by their natural propensity to wreck havoc. The odds that favour keeping them also prohibits them from habitation with people.[/color]

[color=indigo]The other day I read the story of a woman who was literally being munched on by her pet chimpanzee. She survived the ordeal, but the experience left her the indelible scar of a grotesque figure. Pets are a no-no. RIP to the deceased.[/color]

Roseodd:
I don't know why you are arguing with someone that doesn't even have passport!

[color=indigo]Felicitations are in order, Op. May you navigate safely to the point of your destination. May you never forget God who is your ever present help.[/color]

oakson:
Harmless, you say? Who were you referring to as someone trying to prey on unsuspecting folks online? I ignored your first(now reported) post, only to see the second repugnant vomit of yours again.

Since, you've thrown caution to the wind in all your posts on my thread.... I think it's all good you chew your gravel in peace!

[color=indigo]Now I see the comment of mine that has galvanized your irrational volcanic eruption. Since the meaning of my first post has been unable to penetrate your mind like water on the back of a duck it is needless to offer you clarity. Furthermore, your vituperation has lost its purpose on me. Unlike you, I am not chockfull of acrimonious bile waiting to slip at the slightest hint of antagonism. Nah, I won't smear you with dirt because I have none to give.[/color]

oakson:
I am struggling to believe you've chosen to rather be a prisoner of your vain and vague thoughts on others reality.... Let me help your perceived ignorance, and it's a favour from me to you, I rarely do!

Before, I untie the fetters of your ignorance, which obviously is the monster amongst your little idiosyncrasies... can you in plain terms highlight my expectations vis a vis the ones you are playing the role of a butt licker to, who in their lack of simple comprehension, has decided to run with it like a rottweiler!(apparently you're all under the same diagnosis).

You must be living in a stone age not to know that parenting has evolved from the prolonged slavery you've submerged your wife into(If you have one). Hence, your thoughts of me doing same to another man's daughter! Oh, what a pathetic soul you are!

I don't know the offense of your lineage, that has made God to curse them from having expectations. Simply put, you are doomed never to embrace change and hope for something good or better in life.

Obviously, I'm exempted from such garbage!


Lastly, I don't need your wishes, ok?

[color=indigo]Why are you pugnacious over the innocuous sentiment of a faceless man in the street? You seem to relish the exercise of punching the air. I am not your enemy; you are. Peace.[/color]

frozen70:
I think your concern and interest now is to focus on how to look after your children and their future

Since their mum is no longer living with you guys, you have to play double roles

Searching for a financial stable woman shows that you can't even take care of those children needs

You really painted yourself as a good looking man, if that's what you are, then you don't need to advertise yourself

Forget about being in a hurry to get another woman

Go and arrange your self properly because you may have a bigger issue when another woman comes in, to fit into the shoes of trying to be there mother

[color=indigo]Reality tastes like Alomo Bitters. I am not in the way of the Op seeking his heart's desires, but when he has sailed too far from the shores of truth he risks being lost in his imagination. Whoever attempts to fill the vacuum of his desires must by no means have a heart of leather knowing that mothering three step kids will drain such lady empty of her emotional reservoir and make her feel like an "upgraded nanny" rather than a wife. TheGoodAmerican has a point in his suggestion but that is not a constant. The Op is asking far too much and I'm sure he has not thought this through. You have also expressed the less admirable but significant aspects of his search. That notwithstanding, I wish him luck in his endeavour.[/color]

oakson:
I smell bullshit from far... hence, my replies.

This post is meant for ladies to respond to, not men with seemingly overbloated ego and megalomaniacs who chose to cocoon their personal struggles and shortcomings, then, come online as dinosaurs to prey on those who were bold enough to come out. You don't sit behind your keypad and type out how someone else should or should not live.

That, I can't and won't accept... you called what that 'americawhatever' said a 'suggestion'? Read it again. He spoke like he's the father and default mind of all ladies; even Father Abraham wouldn't be that absolute in authority over someone else's wishes.

Lastly, it is always worthwhile to read out loud one's comments to one's self and feel it before writing it out to someone else(no pun intended).

Then, and then, would social media be a safe, if not safer place for all!

Abi you get wife for me

[color=indigo]In other words, any Tom, Dick and Harry can prey on the unsuspecting public and we should turn our eyes the other way, right?[/color]

Righthussle:
Hide your face in shame abeg. Pulpit bandit. Why use armed body guards and bulletproof cars when the white man's god you call " almighty " can protect you ?

Heaven is this , heaven is that, there are many mansions there, you'll enjoy everlasting life when you die yet you no wan die go enjoy the everlasting life. Unknown gunmen want to send you to that your beautiful heaven quick, you run go buy bulletproof car. Who you dey fool ? I no blame una. Soon everybody will know the truth that religion is built on lies. Religion is a scam.

[color=indigo]You don't give offerings or tithes. It is not your money. It is not like you did any of these to warrant your lamentation. Why then are you wailing over a pastor having bodyguards as if you read it somewhere in the Bible that having bodyguards is forbidden for pastors?[/color]

Jennyclay:
Before nko? Why won't she leave . You didn't even buy a car for Uber, you went ahead to buy Keke. I will also leave you in the relationship. abi is it Keke you want to use to carry me out on a date?

God abeg o!

[color=indigo]The Op is a good and honest man. A rare breed. He would rather stoop low to earn an honest living. His future is brighter than the yahoo guy who will take you on a date with the latest car.[/color]

Toilet drainer..chai nairaland

[color=indigo]That is a guy behind a female moniker.[/color]

Hoodrat:
Let us sing Songs of Praises in the church to the White man For showing us the way to his God and for all the Black genocide Praise white Jesus White Jesus is good all the time.. Halelujah To The Catholic Church and their White Missionary in africa for showing us the way to heaven Praise praise white jesus !! They have our interest in Mind White Jesus love us HALELUJAH!!!

[color=indigo]Jesus is not a white man's God. He is God. Don't forget that our ancestors are much to blame for the slave trade as the colonialists. They sold and betrayed their very own people to slavery.

However, Jesus came to set people free. Why blame Jesus (God) for the evil of people?[/color]

[color=indigo]I understand this betrayal is twice painful — from husband and blood sister but she should forgive them, and if she can't she should ask God for help to forgive them. It is for her good, not for their good. As bad as it is, as long as she retains their wrong God will have no other choice but to also retain her sins...and He will be unable to heal her heart of the pain of betrayal.[/color]

LiveWithIt:
It should be real, but I haven't experienced it before, ever, all the places I have vitsied more than 50 places none worked, hence my believe it doesn't.

I just believe it's scam to the gullible minds

[color=indigo]List the places you have visited[/color]

kollinzgee:
Its not only Africans that are christians,there are chinese,korean,American and Europeam christians too.

[color=indigo]That's their favourite dumb statement. They ignore the fact that there are christians among Asians, North and South Americans, Australians, Europeans, and Africans. If the whole world is under mental slavery for accepting Christ then he is being foolish for remaining wise.

I would also add that there are many missing books of the Bible that make things clearer but more than sufficient is the ones we already have. For now, God in His wisdom has hidden Himself from the so-called wise. Do not try to engage in any argument with anyone over the existence of God. If they won't be persuaded by the people who have died and returned to testify that God exists, if they won't be persuaded by the gifts and miraculous works of the Holy Spirit, if they won't be persuaded by the creation itself...then nothing will persuade them.

Remember, when Noah was building the Ark, people laughed at him most probably because they were convinced that he was deluded, hearing imaginary things from a non-existent Being. Only one day is appointed to cure their folly but hopefully that day does not also bring their judgement. As for you, child of God, child of light, ask God to make Himself real to you and stop relying on the crumbling strength of human reasoning.[/color]

[color=indigo]O foolish foolish girl...what if that day was your last on earth?[/color]
