Matt asked about my trading journey and goals Now on last week's video, I got asked by a trader called Matt on YouTube, to explain about my trading journey to date, and also to explain a little bit about my own personal trading goals over the next five to 10 years. So, I started trading completely by accident around nearly 17 years ago. At the time I was a dairy farmer and I was milking cows, working seven days a week and ended up going through a divorce. And at the time had a two year old son. And to be honest, I didn't really know what I was going to do in order to look after him, have an income. And so I stumbled into trading completely by accident after hearing an ad on the radio all those years ago. And it kind of evolved from there to be honest. It wasn't a deliberate move. It really was an accidental move, but as someone who'd always been, I suppose, self-employed, motivated, to me, it seemed like a really, really good thing to do. Went to Auckland to take a Forex Course So I went along up to Auckland, paid about $5,000 back then, which was a lot of money and did a course up there in Auckland. And the course, it was okay. But it got me into trading, and so here we are 17 years later and we've developed the Forex Trading Coach. We developed Pattern Trader. We've now got a new Echo Trade Copier, and things have changed massively and for the better. And I've got Forex trading, a lot of hard work, a lot of dedication, a lot of fails and some gains, to thank for that. Anyone can become a trader if you really want to And so Matt, thank you for your question because I think the important part out of this is that anybody can become a trader if you really want to. Now, realistically, it took me four years of trial and error, basically getting nowhere fast, of trying every single service, every PDF it was back then, that you could download every indicator, every expert advisor, every everything, basically, every forum I'd been on, and it just went round and round and round in circles. Anyway, so after four years, I thought, Andrew, you need to fix this. You need to make this work or you need to find a new hobby. And so I took everything off my charts and I made it work. I developed a system, a strategy that worked for me, and also one that didn't require me sitting at the computer all day and night. And that was the other thing, there's so many strategies out there with scalping and things that all look really, really cool. But really they're not long-term, practical and enjoyable. I developed a strategy and system that works for me So, I developed a strategy and system that works for me, and I've been now teaching that strategy and trading it myself. I've been teaching it for 12 years now at the Forex Trading Coach. We're just about to celebrate our 12th birthday as well. And I'll put details about that on this video and podcast for you. But over those years, we've helped so many people and my own trading has gone extremely well. The trading for the vast majority of our clients has gone extremely well. And we're really proud,
