Hey!
My name is Gerard. All my life I’ve been going against the grain. I completed high school and have a degree in Psychology, but I wanted to become a musician since the age of 10. It has been 16 years since and I am currently mainly a musician in a band with a solid fanbase, those of whom I really love.
When I was younger I used to buy and sell things as a hobby. I’d fix broken airsoft guns and flip them for a profit. Then I got into buying and selling on local marketplaces. I’ve gotten into dropshipping and have been making a decent amount of money in that, so last month I decided to QUIT MY JOB as a Behavioral Therapist and fully commit to finding my financial journey outside the confines of a system!
And now I’m here. No idea about Forex trading, but my friend is a self made millionaire and he did it through Forex. So I’m looking to becoming financially stable through this. I know it’s hard work. Starting a business is super hard work, but I’m proud to say I’ve done it time and time again, but I know this will be the ultimate challenge.
I’m excited to know more and learn from all you wonderful people!

Hi and welcome 
start from the education section and good luck Regards Greg
Why dont you ask your friend? I think that would be a good place to start especially since hes achieved wht you want. Just a thought.
Hi!
So he started off as one of my customers. He didn’t say much about his lifestyle, but he would always be in the most expensive outfits, drive expensive cars, and he had a glow to his personality. So when I asked him what he did, he said he does Forex. We ended up growing a friendship, but ultimately he charges sooooo much to teach what he does and I don’t blame him. I cannot afford his price, but we still talk often. But just seeing him as an example encourages me to know that it is possible. He moved from a different state to beverly hills in 3-4 years when he started. I see people talk about it on youtube and it always seems too good to be true. But I’ve seen it in this guy and I know it is possible.
Hi!
Thank you so much! I have absolutely no idea where to start, except to start learning the educational courses on baby pips and to watch basic videos haha. He charges a lot for his coaching, but he showed me his numbers and told me to check out babypips which is why I’m here haha
Welcome Gerard! I wish you achieve the success you desire trading forex. Out of curiosity, what does your friend charge to teach fx trading?
Thank you! I hope that I can start to become part of this community so we can all help eachother!
He charges a whopping $5,000 for 3 sessions. Something that I definitely cannot do haha.
$5,000 is cheap for a 3 month mentorship but not for 3 sessions. You won’t get much benefit out of three sessions. That’s a shame.
Yea definitely. I’d like to give him the benefit of the doubt because he is definitely making it HUGE with Forex, but I’m not willing to risk $5,000 on that at this point in time as I have never traded before.
See if he’s willing to share the following information with you, the next time you see him. Write down his responses.
- Do you scalp or swing trade?
- Do you use indicators? If so, which indicators?
- Do you use market structure or price action?
- What is your average monthly/yearly % gains?
Halloo! I saw cats and kittens, I am summoned. Hihihi… 
Perhaps itch in your kitty DNA to be a trader! You’ve traded goods and now itch currencies and commodities. Good luck and I hope you do well.
Take all the kitty time you need to study. Don’t forget to explore babypips but also try demo tradin’! Demo tradin’ will grant you more experience and skills than any course on this kitty world. Start a journal too so ull have a way to reflect on your trades. 
Pardon my kitty curiosity but are you a kabayan too? U have the scent of it. Hihi… I wish you well!

Hello Gerard! welcome and thanks for sharing your background. Care to share the name of your band? Maybe you’ll have additional fans from this community. 
Good luck and hope to see more of you here.
That’s amazing. It’s a bold move to quit your job and pursue a completely different path.
