Message: <blockquote data-quote="san1020" data-source="post: 14765608" data-attributes="member: 360234">I realized that to stay alive as a trader is to not take to much risk  AND don’t place your eggs in one baskets. Trade several pairs. Trade  several system. Trade with several brokers. Go for a small but sure  yearly profit instead of risking a whole farm but ending up with burning  that farm.Of the several hundreds of people here on forex-tsd, there were people  who had serious capital. And from one came to the other. The snowball  started to roll and we got in contact with each other. They started to  invest also some small money in me. Some of them left me already after a  couple of weeks or months because of some normal trading losses I made  where they hoped like me before, to only make profit and never make  losses. But I did not worry anymore. I knew it was a natural selection  between “investing capital” and “risk or casino capital”.I progressed in such a way that now my best friend is still trading with  me (which I want to thank him for very much because he believed in me  from the very beginning and because of him I am still a trader) and all  of the other people that with the years invested more and bigger capital  in me. Also and especially forex-tsd that gave me a forum to make  myself public so I could do my thing and give me the opportunity to earn  money through trading by teaching developing and helping other people  to make money through trading. I survived on giving lessons and having a  trading room.During that same period I continued to develop further and further my  systems and placed them in expert advisors that I leased to others and  at some point kept for myself because I had enough money that was  invested in me.As I write this I have 1.3Million $ invested in my pamm accounts as an  account manager and I am also employed as a trader for an institutional  investment company in Eastern-Europe.One very important thing I know is that I will never get attempted  anymore to take to much risk or think that I could get rich in 1 year  time. I have months that I don not earn 1 single penny or dime or euro  (except my income for the investment company). And I have months that I  earn the same amount of money as 10 postmen are earning in Germany. This  means that my monthly income is very volatile like the forex can be or  that I never know in advance what my income will be. But that is what I  want. I could never live with the knowledge how much money I would make  every month because that sounds or feels for me like counting the days  till I die or that I get my pension.My investors are very pleased with the return they get on their  investment. They get a lot more then on the stock exchanges. And the  investment they make with me is not stocks correlated. I still live in  my letterbox apartment. I still do not drive a car. But I know that I  live from my trading and that this was my quest and ambition from the  very beginning. Being a part of the financial world and be smarter then  95% of the financial world. Because 95% of the people who trade need to  stop after 3 years. I want to thank the people who believed in me and  the people who invested in me. I am glad to be a trader. It is the most  difficult job in the world. You need to be more then a shark to survive  in this world. Even after several years being profitable one can still  stand on a cliff and have the urge to jump from it because you lost  everything in your life.If had the chance to do it all over gain, would I still become a trader  ?...That is for me the absolute most difficult question to answer. I  really don’t know. It had to give up so much in life to become a trader.  I lost 2 beautiful relationships. But it gives me so much satisfaction  to be a trader…I live from my trading, I am independent, nobody tells me  what to do, I can do my job from anywhere in the world as long if I  have an internet connection. And like Confucius pointed me to : I never  had the feeling that I worked one day in my life because I love my job  as trader enormously.So I attempted to say: YES I AM a SUCCESFUL trader. I am making a very  nice incomme now. But I would never recommend to someone to become a  trader. It is by far THE most difficult difficult thing one can do.A VERY important detail was that I felt from the very beginning and  throughout my whole trading career was that there is the rule that only  5% of the traders can make it as a trader. I told myself from the very  beginning that statically I belong to the 95% of the traders that would  not make it. Where all the people that I meet on the internet believe  from the very beginning that they will be a part of the 5% of traders  that will make it.I make my living as Joe the plumber or the baker, or the lawyer. If they  do not have any doubts on being successful then I definitely don’t need  to have any doubts on being successful.Friendly regards… FXiGoR </blockquote>
