Starting with 0 knowledge or experience in Market Trading in 2016, I’ve come a long way since starting out my Investing and Day-Trading career with continuous learning & improving everyday. Starting my learning part-time in the Foreign Exchange (Forex), while working a full-time 9-5 Corporate Day Job at 50 to 60hrs a week, I am grateful to have survive the struggle of learning to trade while working full time. This is, by far, the hardest skill and knowledge I have ever learned in my entire life!! I have now managed to become a respected Trader in the trading community with my Foreign Exchange and Futures Market knowledge, and trading skills that has allowed me to trade for consistent profits at-will with almost a decade worth of experience.
Now, as a Full-Time Professional Day Trader, I apply proven trading method & strategies in technical, fundamental, and sentimental analysis with simple Price Action concept, a few technological advance tools, applications, and resources that I have gained over the years from 3 great mentors to Master some advance Institutional-Style Trading Techniques. In using proven Smart Money and DR/IDR Frame concepts with very simple and easy to follow rule-base trading, I'm able to trade in and out of the market successful for consistent net profit gains. I take great pride in sharing my knowledge, insight, experiences with select coaching students, and Live Trade Room members. I have provided shared knowledge and coached 100's of students from around the world including Canada, U.K., Europe, Australia, New Zealand, India, Puerto Rico, and of course the U.S.; just to name a few. From start to finish, I always strive to succeed by working together honestly and respectfully to help my students and clients gain more confidence, more wins, and more net profits, "One PIP/Tick at a Time."
We, at FX Prosperity Academy, truly believe trading the financial market is an incredible skill that can easily be learned to mastery and create the fastest way to supplementing your income, replacing your income, and/or building generational wealth than any other profession or industry in the world. Learning to trade is actually quite simple and can be learned for FREE. The technical & fundamental concepts can easily be learned. However, mastering trading or to be able to do this full-time as a business is HARD. It's simple to learn the technical know-how (20%), but can be very hard to master the mental psychological part (80%) of the skill for people trying to learn how to trade for 1 simple reason and that is because we are emotional human beings with a powerful brain and heart that was designed to protect us, make us aware of danger, and keep us alive. In order to Master Trading, there's no other way to get from a Civil Mindset to a Traders Mindset, but to re-wire your brain and emotional management. The good news is that this mental psychology and transformation shift can be learned, but the unfortunate news is NOT without a Trading Mentor. Trust me, ask me how I know. After trying to learn technical skills (the simple part), I still continued to find myself with having good success in 1 week or month (1 step forward) to lose it all the next week or month (2 step back). I just never could find enough success to be continuously be consistent, let alone even think about quitting my job to go full time. I had suffered from FEAR of losing money, fear of missing out on the trade, fear of being wrong, fear of leaving money on the table once I was in profit, and fear of giving it back once I was profitable or made some gains. This lead to revenge trading and overtrading to lead to going on TILT (the act of trading based on pure emotions and nothing technical or according to my trading or risk management rules). Think about this, Professional Athletes are not good enough to play in the Professional Arena of NBA Basketball, U.S. NFL Football, NHL Hockey, or Soccer (global football) without support, guidance, and training of a Mentor or Trainer. Therefore, what make you think you or anyone else can simple come to the financial market and trade against the BIG Boys (Institutional Traders) who are one of best selected, best educated, and provided the best resources money can buy to be best trained traders in the world? It is nearly impossible....without a well proven and knowledgeable Mentor. This is where we come in.
I can assure 2 facts for certain. Once this skillset is learned, (1) it can never been taken away and (2) can only be improve and/or compound over time with the right mentorship, connecting with the right community or group, and continuous learning. It does not guarantee you success, but it gives you the best opportunity in the shortest learning curve possible to be 1 out of the 10% to 20% of traders who does make it. As with anything else in life worth achieving, the results of having the skillset and mindset to trading the financial markets consistently and successfully, can truly impact yours, your family & love ones, and other people's lives around you who may be blessed with your relationship if you can commit to yourself 1 important factor, DO NOT QUIT!
My teaching style, approach, and lessons are straight forward, in-depth beyond your typical YouTube Style Guru's limited teaching and non-abusive in a safe learning environment where the student can move at their own pace, and never feels there could be dumb questions no matter how many times they repeat the same questions over and over again (I did the same in the beginning). It's part of the learning process, especially if you're learning something new or for the first time. However, (and this is very important), it takes time. You must learn to be patient with yourself and the learning process. If you cannot think and approach learning this skillset long-term (like how long?), say at least 1 to 2 full years before you can start to see some consistent results, then this skillset and profession may not be the right choice for you or you may not simply be ready to put in the necessary time it requires to attain this skillset for long-term benefits. It would be better off for you to continue on with life, experience more pain (of being sick and tired) with time you put in working a 9-5 Job or career, not getting paid what you're worth no matter how hard or educated you become, and/or having the time you want to spend doing what you want or with your family, then come back. That's when you'll be truly ready to make the change, but more importantly, be committed to that change over time.
With an MBA in Finance from the University of Redlands Southern California and over 28yrs of Corporate Management background experiences with top Fortune 100 Companies such as Coca-Cola, Nestle, the Clorox Company, and Mars Company, I hold myself to the highest ethical standards of professionalism with everything I do. With a focused vision, hard work ethics, personal discipline and commitment to success have allowed me to embrace the challenges faced in today business world as an Entrepreneur, Investor, and Financial Market Trader.
Now, I want to assure you, WE DO NOT NEED you as a coaching student or register for our Live Trade room for us to make money. Teaching and Mentoring others is not our Main source of income or method to generate money and therefore, we are selective on who we work with. This is why we are very proud to admit that we have only mentored a small percentage of successful coaching students (less than 20%) because those who have started with us will and have failed....by simply quitting or stopping due to many personal reasons. A lot of unforeseen things can happen in a person's life over the course of the next 1 to 2yrs. It is those with a strong will and desire that has been able to overcome and push through life's challenges to reach their goals of becoming a Trader. It's that simple, but we all know it is not easy to do.
Teaching and Mentoring others is our Passion and Mission to help those who are looking for the right Trading Mentorship and Knowledge to help them master the art of Day Trading in the financial markets, but that's if they also truly want it with a strong desire. That's it....We make a living from trading the financial markets...not from teaching others! So then why charge a fee and just make it all FREE? We've learned that if we do not charge a FEE, any reasonable amount of fee for our services, then you will not psychologically put a value on the purpose of you signing up and ensuring yourself that you will receive a return on that value. By placing a monetary value on our services with a fee, this will psychologically hold yourself accountable to show up, do the necessary homework/assignments, and be committed to your self-investment to get a return on that fee. The only purpose of this website is to make ourselves available and have a platform available for coaching students to receive and gain access to the learning materials at their time. Therefore, if you are now coachable/teachable (able to move at the speed of instructions), willing to be patient with yourself, invest a small amount of time to the process (1 to 2 years minimum), dedicate yourself until you reached the goal of consistency without giving up with hard work and effort to truly learn how to trade the financial market, then we are a perfect match to work together to GUARANTEE YOUR SUCCESS!
