How would you like to make 6.3% gain on your live account in one week while sitting on the beach in the south of France?

Well, that's what one of my client's has done just this last week. Let's share more details about that right now.

What An Amazing Achievement!

Hi Forex traders, it's Andrew Mitchem here. I'm the Forex Trading coach. Today is Friday, the 2nd of October. A few weeks ago I had an email from a client of mine, called Simon, who lives over in the U.K. He said, “Andrew, I'm off to the south of France for a week's holiday. I won't be on your webinar next week, but I'll be looking forward to watching the recording.” I said, “Great, Simon. Have a nice time. My parents actually live in the south of France.” I said, “Look, the love it down there. Have a great time. Enjoy yourself. I'll catch up with you when you get back.”

Just last night I had a webinar, my evening time, early morning European time. Simon was on the webinar. He said to me, “Hey, Andrew. I've been to the south of France. I loved it. Had a great time on the beach for the week. I made 6.3% gain my account just in one week while enjoying the sun in the south of France.” He's now back in the shitty U.K., as they're into Autumn time over there.

It just got me thinking, “Well, look at that. What an amazing achievement.” I've got the information here. He emailed me as well, and told me about it, and said, “Look, my account grew 6.3% in the week. What a nice bonus. I'll see you on the webinar on Thursday.”

Thank you very much, Simon. It just got me thinking about what can be achieved once you understand trading, put some effort in, and still to the rules. That's exactly what Simon's done there.

It also got me thinking about … I've mentioned so many times, you don't need to be spending all the time watching charts. Simon's been over there on the beach and, probably, just traded daily charts, maybe 12-hour charts, and, maybe, on the weekly charts, but hasn't spent all day and night watching charts. A number of people will say to me, “Hey, Andrew. You talk about trading on the close of a bar, whether it be a one-hour bar or a four-hour bar. Do I have to sit there and watch every one hour or every four hours?” No, you don't. Absolutely, you don't. Far from it. You need to trade when it suits you. Pick the times that suit you to trade. If you do like trading one-hour charts, then, yes, look at the end of the one-hour candle or one-hour bar, but only when it suits you. Don't worry about getting up in the middle of the night doing it. Don't stress about getting home from work early to do it.

Let The Trading Work Around Your Lifestyle

You have to made the trading work around your lifestyle. Otherwise, it takes over your life. You don't want that. People that sit there for hours, upon hour ,upon hour ,upon hour, just staring at the charts, moving up and down, every single pip, they do become glued to that screen. That's what the vast majority of people are trying to avoid. There's no real fun in watching charts move up and down all day. There really isn't. The fun is seeing technical setups of your technical trade, like I am, talking about trading. I love talking about trading. Also, the challenge of picking the trades and seeing them come through into profitable trades. That's the real enjoyment of trading. Of course, all the freedom of time that trading brings. Exactly like Simon said here, “Week in the south of France. 6.3% in a week.” You cannot argue with that.
