Millionaire Traderschance. If I blow the$1,000 that’s it. I’ll turn around and I’ll walk
away and I’ll never mention trading ever again.”
Q: Did you show her your results on your demo?
A: Yes, and I think that is where she probably got the motivation
and started to think that if he’s doing that successful in the demo
trading, maybe he can do the same with live. So, eventually, she
said, “Listen, if that’s what you want to do go for it.” But my
agreement with her was that if I lost the$1,000 that would be it.
I would turn around, walk away, and never look back. My belief
was that I wouldn’t want to turn around in, let’s say, a couple years
and ask myself what if I had tried it? I am the type of person who
would rather give it shot, win or fail.
Q: So did your wife keep a tight noose on you after you started
trading?
A: No, the first couple were small successful trades. But there was
one day that I had entered into a trade at work and, when I came
home, I logged on to my trading station and I was$187 in the profit
and my wife was ecstatic. Honestly, I can tell you. she was jumping
up and down. Now$187 to an American citizen might be peanuts,
but to me, as a South African, that was a small, fortune that I had
just earned. She was ecstatic and from there on, I grew stronger
and more confident in my trading. Her excitement made me more
determined to trade successfully. I mean we’ve had our ups and
downs, but she’s always stood with me. In fact she’s thinking of
becoming a trader herself. The key to my trading strategy is small
but consistent daily wins.
Q: Lets talk about your trading. First of all, what hours do you
typically trade?
A:InGMT,fromabout7a.m. until, I would say, roughly about
6 p.m.
