Full time forex trader

Good morning fx traders,

I would like to welcome Clayton Farnworth to the world of full time forex trading. As you may remember from previous posts, Clayton would be leaving his job at the end of March and as of tomorrow he will be trading from the comfort of his own home.

Clayton has spent a lot of time learning to trade and having been on numerous courses he was still finding it difficult to make money from the markets. Clayton asked me to mentor him one on one which I agreed to do and those of you who know Clayton will be aware how well he has been trading for more than a year with the consistency and from tomorrow he will be doing what he has been wanting to do for many many years.

Clayton's job did not entail using a computer so not having knowledge of how Windows work was going to be a real challenge in terms of learning to use trading software. Adamant he would not be deterred from trading due to a lack of knowledge in computers, he attended a course, bought a desktop and practiced for many weeks. I remember the first time Clayton used Advanced Get he was very nervous and painfuly slow. Now I would classify him an expert in the use of a few different trading software packages.

As you will already know, to acheive your goals you need to have determination and a habit of winning by overcoming challenges. Many traders have no goals and give up at the first sign of feeling uncomfortable. Well, you dont get much more uncomfortable than not being able to use a computer which is your first obstacle to learning how to trade. Clayton did it and then as you would expect went on to having losses. Unfortunately due to being ill advised his losses were far greater than the average persons losses and again many traders would have reversed their decision and not pursued a life in trading but that is what makes a dynamic trader stand out from the average trader. Clayton is a dynamic trader and one that deserves recognition by us for his commitment and determination.

Good luck Clayton and good dynamic trading.
