Transcription

1 SFX: Becoming a Professional Forex Trader Joshua Martinez is Market Traders Institute's (MTI) head analyst with more than four years of experience analyzing and trading the Forex market. As a trader and an instructor skilled in both technical and fundamental analysis, Josh, also known as FX Pathfinder, has used the mentoring lessons taught to him by his father (worldrenowned trader Jared Martinez) to build his own reputation as a successful trader, analyst and instructor. He has developed several trading strategies and systems including the 3:10 London Breakout Strategy that is taught in MTI's Forex Mastery Course, MTI's Day Trading Course and the Auto Aussie Trading System. His time is spent training tens of thousands of MTI clients in client-only webinars and courses as well as developing premier trading systems based on years of market research. His most recent accomplishment was turning 30 minutes of trading into $10,000 worth of profit (that's more than most people make in 3 months of working 9 to 5). To meet Josh and learn the strategies that have helped him become a currency trading success story, attend his upcoming webinar. Josh Martinez Josh Martinez: So Josh, can you please tell me what your background is and how you got started trading? Well, Jared Martinez, or otherwise known as the FX Chief, he's my father. Growing up when I was a kid, I used to always go into his office and see his computer screens and see his charts. He would actually print them out and put them all over his office. I would ask him, 'Hey, Dad, what's this, what's that, what's this, what's that,' and he would make mention, but nothing really too serious. That's pretty much off and on through when I first started growing up. I really don't have any economic degrees, don't have any other degrees whatsoever. Before I became a full time trader or an analyst, I was a firefighter, EMT. I got my firefighter/emt professional license from my local community college, became certified as a personal trainer as well. The career I went forward was being a firefighter, EMT,

2 personal trainer. Just like everyone in this world, we have bills and then we have our income. Well, the lifestyle that I wanted to live versus the income that I could make as a personal trainer and a firefighter wasn't really matching up. A little bit of the background regarding what I knew about the Forex, I always knew the Forex, you didn't really need a lot of money to make a lot of money. Especially when I saw my dad and his success with trading. About four, almost five years ago, I started getting involved in the Forex market. I applied the same techniques that I learned in EMT school, firefighting school, personal training school, to where the study techniques and the drive, and the 'never give it up' attitude. I found tremendous success (but) not immediately, it took me a good six months to really get my bearings on the entire movements of the market. After a year, I started seeing success doing some pretty amazing things with trading accounts. Now four or five years later, here I am today, where I've done some pretty extraordinary things. I would consider myself as an average Joe guy. I'm not a brainiac, I'm not overly intelligent. Just using some tools that I've learned from MTI [SP], and just following the rules. What do you prefer to trade? Tell me a little about what's unique to each market and why you like trading them. Well, I'm an exclusive Forex trader, and Forex stands for 'Foreign Exchange.' What I really like about the Forex market is it's very strategic, almost like a chess game. Growing up, I played a lot of chess with my dad. He would always say the winner is the person who can predict the other opponent's most moves. That really didn't sink in to me until I got to the Forex in regards to not being surprised. The reality of it is the Forex market does the same things over and over again, it repeats its history. Because it repeats history, or does the same things over and over and over again, it creates patterns. Out of those patterns, you can create a strategy. Those

3 strategies are proven percentages, by saying it has X percent probability of working if you do this, or X percent probability of not working if you do that. It was pretty clean cut, and if you just follow the rules of the Forex, you can find success. All the way down from equity management and how much you invest with compared to your account size, to the actual trading strategy you use, it's all percentage, it's all black and white. You're not getting lucky, you're not trying to get lucky. There's no way, shape, or form of gambling in the Forex. That's what really attracts me the most about it is, look, it can be predictable. You're not going to win 100% of the time, but you can win the majority of the time if you follow the rules. It can be profitable. That helps answer the question for the Forex. What style of trader would you consider yourself? I consider myself to be a more of a hybrid in regards to I'm not married to one single strategy or type. There's a few types of traders out there; you've got scalpers who are in and out in less than three hours, and you have day traders that are in and out of the market in less than 24 hours. You have short term swing traders, which are someone holds a trader one to three days, taking advantage of a price swing. Then you have position traders, who are holding trades for weeks at a time. I'm definitely not a position trader, I do not hold trades weeks at a time, nor do I want to. I would consider myself to be around a day trader, in and out of the market within 24 hours, as well as a mini-swing trader to where I close my positions within three days from one another. I don't really consider myself a scalper, because a scalper is looking to take advantage of short term movements, and when you take advantage of short term movements, though it's a lot of fun, you make a lot of profit really fast, the issue with being a short term scalper is unless you're winning 60, 70, or 80% of the time, it's very difficult to make any profit being a scalper. That's usually where a lot of traders end up

4 failing. Being a hybrid trader, what's distinctive about how you trade, and why are you successful at it? What makes you successful at it? I would say what makes me successful is my firm belief and constitution in my education and following the rules. When I said hey look, I've been doing this for four or five years professionally with Market Traders Institute [SP], you have to understand, I'm in front of the charts eight to 12 hours a day. This is all I do. When I make the comment of hey, I've been doing this for four or five years, you've got to take into consideration how many hours that is. That's composed to the average Joe investor, who really only looks at the market what, maybe an hour a day? Maybe if you're lucky get five hours of market time a week? You've got to understand, that's a lot of experience being thrown into there and compacted all at once. What really separates me is market trends over and over and over, and create the same patterns over and over and over again. I've seen the same strategies work over and over and over again. I broadcast and I teach to literally thousands of individuals throughout my career, upwards to about 600 at a time as well. Sometimes the individuals outside looking in will say, 'Hey look, why are you buying when the market's in a downturn? Why are you selling when the market's in an uptrend?' We're maybe looking at a one hour timeframe. They're failing to realize that hey, on a monthly timeframe or a weekly timeframe or even a daily timeframe, the market just hit its Fibonacci D extension, and so though yes, the trend is up, you have to realize that the education and the rules say that you have to sell now. That firm belief makes my decisions solid as a rock which can't be moved. We just wait for the proper set-ups. In my opinion, that's what really separates a really great trader from just an OK trader, is having the ability to listen to your rules that have been proven to work over and over and over

5 again. Do global events affect your trading, and if so how? Global events, me personally, of course they affect my trading, but in a positive the majority of the time. I'm not going to sit here and say I'm a fantastic trader, I never lose. That's not what trading's about. Trading's about winning more than you lose. Global events, we have a saying here that fundamentals, we call them fundamental analysis or for short fundamentals, fulfill your technicals faster. What we'll do is we'll set up, technically we'll analyze the market and we'll look to buy, we'll look to sell. When the fundamental announcement comes out, we'll time our trades to say hey look, for example, a non-farm payroll comes down first Friday of every month, the majority of first Fridays of every months, you can realistically make between 30 and 300 pips within three hours. Trading in standard positions, anywhere to make between $300 and $3,000 U.S. dollars within an hour per currency pairs. What we like to do here as Market Traders Institute is I trade live in front of all of our students who are invited to a special webinar, non-farm payroll, where we typically make between $1,000 and $3,000 U.S. dollars, or 100 to 300 pips, within 30 minutes. We've been doing that pretty consistently month in and month out. Fundamentals, the short answer, fundamentals just speed up our technicals faster. We can definitely take advantage of them before they take advantage of you. What do you do to protect yourself or your portfolio? Equity management and stop loss. The number one rule is this, always protect yourself no matter what. The reality of Forex investing is there's a million ways to make money, but there's only one way to lose it all, and that's to trade without a protective stop loss. Some traders or novice traders will become confused with

6 that, because they say to themselves, 'Hey look, I'm in a buyer sellers market, and I as a trader only want to risk X amount. Or I as a trader only want to risk $200 or $2,000 or $200,000, or whatever it may be.' They're saying hey, I have to trade with the stock, which is great, because it's better than not trading with the stock. A trader cannot tell the market what to do or how to do it. The market tells the trader. What ends up happening is when traders use a stop, they'll use a stop in their liking, not what the market's saying. We have a saying that says trade with the charts, not your hearts. You may only want to risk 30 pips or $300 trading a standard position, but the market is saying hey, you have to risk 60 pips to have the highest winning percentage trade, then you have to do what you've got to do to lower your equity management. The reality of success of the Forex investor is you make it as easy or as difficult as you really want it to be. Think about this. If you risk $1 to make $1, well, unless you win more than 50% of your trades, you're not making any money. Even if you win half your trades, you're just a break even trader. If you risk $1 to make $3 risk versus reward, all you really need to do is win three out of ten trades. Not saying you want to, but you can afford to lose up to 70% of the time and still make a profit. As a Forex investor, your equity management's really what's going to dictate how easy or difficult your success will be. I call that your ability. What's your ability? Because your ability in being right or analyzing the market will really dictate what your equity management has to be. If you don't trade with proper equity management, it's very difficult to find any success, because you're more getting lucky and trying to gamble than actually having a true plan. Is volatility involved in Forex? Do you trade volatility, and if so, what do you like about it? To me, my definition of volatility goes back to trading around

7 fundamental announcements. Once again, fundamental announcements just fulfill your technicals faster. I like to trade volatility times because you make profit faster. You can also lose faster as well. Though as traders and individuals we don't like to lose, I would rather know if I'm going to lose more immediate than longer. For example, let's just say you're going to lose 100 pips, or you're going to lose $1,000. I would much rather know I just lost $1,000 within one hour than within three days, because then you get to get over it faster and you get to move onto your next trade and try to make your money back. Is there anything tricky about trading volatility? How do you specifically use it to profit? When the market's volatile, for example, volatility just means there's more money traded back and forth, or there's more funds being traded, either in one direction or the opposite direction, and the market's moving faster. There's two ways in which you can try to trade volatility. For example, at fundamental announcements, you can try to predict what they will be, or you can react to what the fundamental announcement could be. I am more a reactive trader to fundamental announcements. I don't even go down that road with trying to predict it, I don't even want to waste my time or my energy in trying to find that out, because that's a lot of freaking research to determine hey, you're supposed to buy or sell, and this is what the announcement's supposed to be. It doesn't really matter how much research you really do to predict the fundamental announcement. You could still be wrong. With that being said, if you just wait for the announcement to come out, and if you have a thorough understanding of hey, this number means positive, this number means negative, based off of the last six months of announcements, you can react and trade strength or weakness. You just have to be fast on the trigger with placing the trade with your

8 broker. Specifically, I know you touched on equity management, but are there any other money management techniques that you use? Yeah, I created what's called a profit plan for myself. At the end of the day, success is a formula, not a fantasy. If anybody's going to walk into a business or investments, or just making money in general, and just hope and pray and wish to be successful, well that can only get them so far. That's more of a gambling approach, because if I go to Las Vegas, I'm going to really hope and wish and pray that I win a lot of money. If I play the lotto, I'm going to wish and hope and pray that I win the lotto. If I'm going to invest or own a business, even if I'm selling popsicles or ice cream, I have to have a clean cut formula of success to say if I want to make $4,000 a month, I've got to be able to make it every single month, and this is how I'm going to do it. What I use, I use what's called a profit plan. Basically it says I'm looking to make 100 pips a week. I'm going to look to invest this much money, depending on the size of my accounts. If I lose money, then I have to adjust my equity management or my investment size. If I make money, then I'm going to have to adjust my equity management or my lot size to continue on with the growth. At any given time, you can say if you're following a profit plan, you can say hey look, I'm on schedule for my profit plan, or I'm two weeks behind schedule, or hey, I'm four weeks ahead of schedule. If you can't say that you're on schedule, you're four, five weeks behind schedule, or four to five weeks ahead of schedule, then where are you going? If you say 'I don't know,' then that's a big problem that needs to be addressed as an investor. In your trading, how important is psychology? Has there ever been an instance where your lack of control of your own

9 psychology has caused you to lose money in the Forex market? I'll answer both of those questions. Trading is about 90% emotions, controlling your emotions. 10% trading. Because once you understand how this market works, it's really not too difficult to actually do it. If you look at a screen, you can tell and say look, the market goes up, making higher highs and higher lows, and when the market goes down, making lower lows and lower highs. You can only buy and you can only sell, so immediately you have a 50% chance of being right and a 50% chance of being wrong. If you can just find simple direction, you can increase your winning percentage and dramatically decrease your losing percentage, right? Well, the only issue is, once you buy or sell, instantaneously you find out how much money you're making or how much money you're losing. Your eyes begin to gravitate from the charts into your broker account or the actual P&L, profit and loss statements. A mistake that a lot of traders make is they'll enter in from the charts and exit from their hearts. Basically they'll say I made too much money, or I made enough money today, and they prevent themselves from making more. Or they say hey, I just can't emotionally handle being in this trade anymore, they close out. Then the market goes their way. Trading is definitely a psychological game, it's a head game more than anything else. Once you become a Forex investor you'll begin to experience it. It's what you do with that is really what will define you as an investor, because if you become a great Forex trader, more than likely, emotionally, you'll become a better person. If you learn the correct ways anyway. Myself, absolutely, as a Forex investor, you absolutely go through the trials and tribulations as a trader. Because there's been times where I wanted to mop my entire body across the floor, and I felt lower than the dirt.

10 There's also times where I felt almost godlike, to where I was winning every single trade. When you become overly confident or more cocky, the market does a great way of humbling you. That's going to be a battle that's going to last throughout my entire trading career. As of right now, I try to become very indifferent. The secret to my psychological success, my emotional control, is I've become indifferent with my investments. What I mean by that is this. If I were to say to you, 'Hey look, you just lost $0.50, would that really bother you?' If the answer is no, it wouldn't bother you. That's the type of investment size you should be trading with. If I said to you, 'Hey, you just lost $50,000,' and that's going to freak you out, or hey, you just lost $5,000 in one day and you go, 'Oh my God, that's unbelievable,' then you should not be investing in that lot size. At the end of the day, being a Forex investor is a pretty brilliant way to make money without having to do any more work. The same amount of work that makes you $0.50 will be the same amount of work that allows you to make $50,000. The only difference between making $0.50 and making $50,000 is number one, your ability to invest funds, and number two, your psychological ability to be inside those trades. At the end of the day, you can always grow your trading account to give you the opportunity to invest those size of lots. You just have to emotionally being able to handle taking the big wins and taking the big losses. What has been your biggest success as a Forex trader? I'll have to say two, I'll give my financial success, and then I'll give you my personal success. My financial success, the highlight was a few months ago I made $10,000 in 30 minutes. I drove into the office, I remember it very distinctly. I woke up, it was 2:30 in the morning. I woke up, because you know, I've got to get up this

11 morning, I've got to place this trade. Now some people would say you're crazy, getting up at 2:30 in the morning. My response is, if you have an opportunity to make $10,000, why the heck wouldn't you want to get up at 2:30 in the morning? Just get up. I got up, I looked at my fiance and I said, 'I'm so tired,' and I was going to go back to bed. I woke up and I said, 'Hey, look. Sometimes when you want success bad enough, you have to lose sleep.' I was watching some motivational videos, and the training here that we do at the office. I said OK, great. This is one of those days where I want to lose sleep for success. I get up, I drive in, come to the office like 3:00 in the morning, place my trade. I see the market immediately go my way and I'm up $4 or $5,000 within 30 seconds. Most people would probably just close out and say, 'Man, I just made $4 or $5,000 within 30 seconds, get out now.' My technical analysis said to me look, there's still money to be had here. You can make $10,000. I stuck to my guns and just went to the bathroom, splashed water on my face, walked up and down the office, relaxed and just buy time, trying to be indifferent. Then I come back and I see within less than 30 minutes I made $10,000. That was super-exciting, very fun. I'm looking, now that I've had my $10,000 day, I made upwards to $30,000 within the month as well. I'd like to make $50,000 a month through trading, and I'd like to have a $50,000 day as well. I've got to first hit that $50,000 month. That's my financial success. My personal or my emotional success really comes from the help that I believe I've been able to spread through our students. My dad always makes the comment, he always says, 'You live a life by what you make, but you provide the life by what you do.' Basically what it means is hey, look. You want to make sure you're financially taken care of, but you also along the way don't want to hurt anyone, and you only want to help.

12 We always make it very clear that we never want to look down on someone unless you have a helping arm to help them up. I have the opportunity and the ability, and this is the reality of why I still work. I have a great opportunity of being probably one of the best coaches or financially positive figures in thousands of individuals' lives, to where I can help them find financial freedom. I can help them change their lives. I received so many s, and I've talked to so many students who say, 'Look, I need to let you know, you changed my life. My wife, my spouse got cancer. I didn't know what I was going to do. Trading's been able to allow me to pay my bills.' Or, 'Hey, I'm 70 years old. My 401(k) is done. I didn't think I was going to live this long, but now I have a better future ahead of my and I feel as if I have something to live for now. I don't worry about my financial income.' That's powerful, and when you think about it, I always looked at it like this. I used to wrestle in high school, and my coach was Coach Gardea. I'm going to know that name for the rest of my life, because he's taught me a lot of life skills, and changed my life because he coached me to become a better person and individual. I look at that as I have the same opportunity to pass that on, but also help people's financial incomes and change their life to relieve the stress. At the end of the day, if you really think about it, when you're making $30,000 a month trading, I'll have the opportunity to make $10,000 in 30 minutes, why the heck would anybody want to work unless they really enjoy it? That was a really good answer. What is the greatest lesson that you've learned in your journey as a trader? The greatest lessons I've learned is never, never, ever give up. Never, ever give up. If I had to pass on one lesson to an individual, I'll just tell them never give up. Never, ever, ever, ever give up. Because at the end of the day, nothing worth having comes easy. If you want to make financial freedom or have a goal of

13 financial freedom, you've got to put in the financial freedom work ethic. Like I said, you want to make $10,000 a day, you've got to put in $10,000 worth of effort. You want financial freedom, you've got to have financial freedom effort involved. This isn't a lotto winning scenario. You're not just going to get lucky and one day you just make all this money. That's not how it works. It's a progress. You're going to go through trials and tribulations. You're going to have tough times, you're going to have happy times, you're going to have sad times, you're going to cry, you're going to scream, you're going to laugh. You're going to feel like dirt and you're going to feel like gold. At the end of the day, don't give up. One of the saddest things in my heart anyway is when I see it's like a race in this fog, and in front of you, about 100 yards away is the finish line, but there's so much fog you just can't see the finish line, so what do you do? You just give up. You go, I've been running for hours and I can't see where I'm going, so you just give up. You have no idea how sad it is when an individual gives up on their dreams, and the finish line's right there. They just couldn't see it. This is where I get to come in as an individual, as a teacher, to say look, let me clear some of this fog up. Let me show you the finish line. I'm going to be in their ear, '90 more yards, keep going. You're halfway there, 50 yards, keep going, 30 more yards.' Never, ever, ever give up, because when you give up, you absolutely seal your fate with never accomplishing your goals. What do you think the number one reasons traders fail? Wrong expectations. Absolutely the wrong expectations were set. At least for me, when I was growing up, you're on the playground with other kids, and what do you say? When I grow up, I'm going to make so much money and I'm going to invest it in the stock market, right? When I get older, I'm going to give someone my money and I'm never going to have to work again. That insinuates you

14 need a lot of money to invest. Right away, we're programmed as expectations of you've got to have a lot of money to be an investor. Not really. I've done a lot of things just starting out with a $500 trading account. What happens? You go in there thinking you need a lot of money. When you find out hey, I don't need a lot of money to invest, well what happens? You change the expectation of not having a lot of money to start with, but you never change the expectation of how much money you could make. A lot of people coming to the Forex world or Forex industry, they think they can just bring $500 or $1,000 to invest and they're going to make $10,000 a month. That just doesn't happen. What we do tell them, and we try our very best to set expectations, because look, you can come with a $500 trading account, absolutely, and you can invest it. All you really need to do is compound that, reinvest that, grow your trading account. It may take you two years or three years to start making maybe $1,000 a week, but that's $4,000 a month. You take a $500 trading account, in less than 2 years, you have the ability to make just shy of $50,000 from it. Isn't that what college is for? Isn't that why individuals go to school, so they can make more money? The expectation is not set properly, because everybody thinks they're going to find success immediately overnight. A lot of times they are finding success, they're just not finding the volume of success they're looking for. I tell my traders or students here at the Market Traders Institute, I call it the scary movie effect. If you're going to go to a movie in the movie theater, and you're expecting to see a scary movie, your expectations were set properly, your expectations were met and you're happy. If you're expecting to see a scary movie and it's nothing but a love scene and a chick flick, or something different, what's going to happen? You're going to be highly upset. You're more likely to say hey, I want my money back, because this is not what I was expecting, and you're going to go give bad reviews.

15 In my opinion, the number one reason why traders fail is because their expectations were not set properly with what they need to do to properly invest. That comes down to how much money to bring to the table, how much your equity management size, and the strategies which you need to find. Because everyone's trying to get that lucky lotto, and/or they're over-leveraging their trading account and they don't even know it. What made you decide to become an educator? What point in your career as a trader? Being a Forex investor's lonely, to be quite honest with you. It's a lonely game. When I came to work for the Market Traders Institute, I was an analyst, and I actually started making enough income where I said, 'Hey look, guys, I really don't need to do this anymore. I don't want to.' What I ended up doing is I stopped being an analyst for Market Traders Institute, and I just started trading. It got very lonely, very boring, because who do you talk to when you're a trader? Who do you talk to? Who do you interact with? Well, you try to find other traders. You try to find other clubs. I said where do other traders go? Well, other traders go to Market Traders Institute, so I went back there to MTI and just said, hey look, it's very lonely. I became an analyst with them again. When I became an analyst, I became a lot smarter, or I should say I brought more experience to the table because I was trading on my own. I got to experience what other investors felt. I got to experience what the average person feels. I'm able to relate with them. That right there probably changed my aspect, because when I did that and the response that I got from the students at the end of the day, the students sent me s, they told me, or they called me up and they said, 'Josh, you're doing a terrible job. What are you doing?' I probably wouldn't do this. Naturally when I started teaching and I got the response that

16 I did of, 'Hey, Josh, you're changing my life. Hey, Josh, I can't believe you're doing this. Hey, Josh, I was able to do this. Hey, Josh, I made my first $10,000 day. Josh, I made $3,000 today,' that's what keeps me going. I like the feel of that. It makes my soul happy, it makes my heart happy, and it makes me able to go home and lay my head down on my bed and know that I'm changing lives for the better. I'm not hurting anybody, I'm productive in other people's lives. Which to me is very important. If you could condense that into one piece of advice to give a novice trader that's just starting out in Forex what would it be? Educate yourself. Set the proper expectations up front of what you want to accomplish, and educate yourself. Have a clean cut plan or formula for success of how you're going to do it. If your success is a formula, it's not a fantasy. If you don't have the education of what you're doing, why are you doing it? Yeah, you can go through the school of hard knocks, but why? You have no idea how long it's going to take you, how much money it's going to cost you learning the hard way. Go educate yourself. Then after you're educated, create a successful profit plan of how to grow your trading account, because success is a formula, not a fantasy. Set the proper expectations up front, because if I meet with a brand new, novice trader, and if I can set the proper expectations up front and prepare them with what they're about to go through, then what is there a need to be frustrated about other than their expectations for themselves not being met? What about an experienced trader? What kind of advice would you give them? It depends. When you say experienced, are they successful or are they not successful? At the end of the day, I meet a lot of experienced failed traders. Traders come to us, say, 'I've been doing this for ten years, 15 years. I've been doing this for eight years.' Then my question is, 'Well, are you finding

17 success?' If the answer is no, then how experienced are you? I'll give the same advice to an experienced trader as I would to a novice trader, because success is a formula, not a fantasy. Trading is not that difficult if you allow it to be. At the end of the day, look, the same amount of work that's going to make you $10 is the same amount of work that's going to make you $100,000. There's no difference. At the end of the day, success is a formula, not a fantasy. You have to have the right expectations up front, and you have to have a clean cut profit plan to grow your trading account with a set of constitutional rules. If you don't have that, you're just trying to get lucky. That's not a problem if you're sitting there saying to yourself, 'I don't have this,' that's OK, because we don't know what we don't know. We only know what we know. That is why we educate ourselves. That is why we find someone with more experience, or more knowledge, to say listen, these are the things that are very important that you need to know. Versus hey, these are the things you don't know. Listen to this. If you're experienced, if you're ten or 15 years, and even if you are successful, what happens? What you going to do when what you're doing now stops working for whatever reason? Are you going to wait to educate yourself on how to make money a different way when you stop making money now? Or when you're successful, and you're finding success now, is that when you're going to have the ability, the luxury, the time, and the affordability, to learn how to make more money just in case what you're doing now doesn't work? At the end of the day, you want to take a proactive approach, not a reactive approach. What's next on the horizon for you, Josh? Really whatever MTI needs from me. I have personal goals,

18 but my personal goals are pretty straightforward. I'd like to make $50,000 a month in trading. After I've made $50,000 a month in trading, I'm going to try my hardest to make $50,000 a day. The reason why I like to do that, yeah, it's a lot of fun to make a lot of money really fast up front. It's even more fun, or even fun to show others, because when you show someone the opportunity and the potential, the only way I can describe it, it's like Christmas morning on their face when they're kids. That's only if money excites them. Money's very exciting for me, especially having a lot of it. Business-wise, our goal here is very simple at Market Traders Institute. It's to develop successful Forex investors, from start to finish. It's that simple. That's what we're going to continue to do. We're going to continue to try to train more and more and more. The more successful our students are, the higher probability chance we can have the opportunity to train more. That's all we want to do, because we feel as if everybody deserves the opportunity to find financial freedom, or at least have the opportunity to experience it. For traders interested in finding more, where do they need to go? All they have to do is they can log into markettraders.com, or they can call us. They can pick up the phone and call us, and what we'll do is we'll invite them to an online presentation. We'll just let them know that hey, look, we'll give you a little demo of what we do here. We'll give you a little demo of what's the opportunity and how much money you can make inside the market. We'll set all the expectations up front. We'll let you know all the tools that we provide. If you're interested, great. If you're not, great, thanks for showing up. Maybe you know someone who would be interested in taking advantage of this.

19 If they live locally here in Lake Marion or Orlando, Florida, we're just starting up a meet-up. We're actually having one tomorrow, our local events. Basically in our backyard. There's no trading clubs here in Orlando that I know of. We went to meetup.com, and we created our own trading club. Basically we just get a bunch of traders in our backyard, and we say hey, let's come look at the market, let's analyze it, let's take a look at what's going on, and let's see what we have. Not saying we're going to trade, but we're just going to talk, see what other people are doing, and try to help out the community. If anybody wants to get involved, all they have to do is call us here at Market Traders Institute.
