Whatsup everybody!
My name is Gabriel Macario, I’m a 27 year old MMA fighter from Brazil. I left my country two years ago and I now live in Houston, TX, where I recently had a failed entrepreneur attempt.
I heard about forex for the second time two weeks ago. My good friend signed up with a company and has been very happy with it so far.
Now, he is indeed a good friend and never tried to sell me anything, but we got to the subject and he says that after a few adventurous attempts where he lost a couple thousands, he started mostly just following their signals and has been making consistent profit with no effort. We talked about the forex market for a good amount of time and I got really interested in it.
When I got home, I went straight into research and found a lot of good resources. I’m graduating Pipsology Preschool today, I have a few favorites podcasts and youtube channels already, and learned a lot from VP of No Nonsense Forex.
With all that I’ve seen so far, I’m completely sure my brain was made for forex trading. Since I was a kid I realized that intelligence consists in pattern recognition and that’s been my model for a long time. Jiu jitsu taught me a lot about using principles to guide your moves instead of memorizing the long techniques, and I’m really good with recognizing and controlling my emotions. I haven’t started to trade at all but I have made the decision already. I have no doubt that in a few years I’ll be able to live off it, and hopefully in about a decade I’ll be pretty wealthy and spend my life traveling around the globe earning a living from my computer. Those are my goals.
My question is:
I will definitely take the long road and keep with the plan above, but should I sign up to my friend’s company and also make money off their signals meanwhile? I assume that their classes would assist my learning as well. They charge $200/month
Thank you for reading this far and I hope to learn a lot from and with you guys in the following years. Babypips is the $h#t!
