A Party Political FREE Zone
Posted by: | CommentsOk – so now we know that there’s a General Election imminent here in the UK.
So tell me, who is already feeling like they are being force fed with election news – of which we are being served up absolute oceans of “spin”. What is ’spin’? Well, to be generous – it may be the truth – but if it is, it’s stretched so thin as to be almost transparent.
Thankfully, there is absolutely NO comparison between our current political diet of spin, spin and more spin – and Sid and Kris’s forex training course!
Sid and Kris have delivered exactly what they said they would from the outset – a straight talking, no nonsense course. The course itself went at a great pace and it’s only now that I am really benefiting from the level of information that Sid included in each tutorial. I constantly refer to my notes and Kris’s daily support, thanks to the BBC Club, is helping me every day. It’s not just Kris’ valuable feedback and Sid’s regular emails encouraging us to keep perspective – but being able to see what everyone else is doing is fascinating.
The BBC Club is made up of a significant number of traders and forex apprentices all at different levels; I have always been a great believer in the old mantra that you can always learn from others – and I think the BBC Club really embraces this philosophy. I regularly read about how well the more experienced traders do each week and I can also see how they do it. Sid and Kris’s helpful input has helped me to understand how these traders could be doing even better – so it’s a win, win!
Wouldn’t it be marvellous if our politicians could be as straight forward as Sid and Kris and deliver what they say the will? Thank goodness for Forex Training Works eh?!

Forex Forever!
Posted by: | CommentsAnother great start to my morning with my forex rendez-vous. When it’s a busy week I really find that my trading gives me a positive start to the day, even if everything else around me is in chaos. It gives me a warm feeling that everything will turn out just fine and that I am now, maybe for the first time that I can remember, in control of what is going to happen in my life, something that we are rarely able to savour in today’s world which seems to be in a constant fast-forward.
I have spent a lot of time the last couple of weeks observing the markets and playing it safe. Now some of you who are looking to learn forex may think this is a bad thing, but let me tell you it is far from it.
I have made money so far with my trading (technically speaking of course as I am still ‘in-demo’ and not a live trader as yet). Take that statement to the next logical step, why would I RISK what I have made if I have already earned money? Moreover, why would I risk my money when it has been earned in such a pleasant way – from the comfort of my own home, without any stress in a peaceful environment just at the start of my day?
There are so many other positives to my experience, Sid and Kris feel like they have become my friends and are certainly great mentors for me – I am learning how to be a successful forex trader as well as being taught some personal development based skills that I would have had to pay thousands for in a commercial environment! This in itself has been worth its weight in gold to me – and as that famous credit card advertisement statement explains, it’s “priceless”!

One More Week of Easter Holidays
Posted by: | CommentsThe Easter Bank Holiday seems like quite a long time ago now doesn’t it?! I have really made the most of this week as you all know. I have done some revising and had a great time trading for the last couple of mornings. It just doesn’t feel like work at all getting up in the mornings and getting ready for my daily trade, my forex rendez-vous is a great start to my day!
Every once in a while, an experience from your past comes out of nowhere and reminds you of just how much better life is now. I spent the early part of my career working as a PA to some incredibly interesting business leaders – and they really were! The long nights of having to work until the early hours, the 3am starts – yes, I really did say 3am are all but a dim and distant memory. But why is this relevant to you my learning forex and my post today? Well, before the children broke up I had the perpetual thought of “how am I going to fit everything in this Easter break and will I need to find some more hours either side of my day as I really want to make sure I don’t miss out on my forex training?”
I am so pleased to be able to report that this hasn’t been the case at all – by being organised and already in a great routine where I am at my desk for my daily forex rendez-vous at 6.30, there hasn’t been any more pressure to the hectic daily schedule, in fact – it has been a really peaceful and calm start to the day – before the phone rings and the children start asking what we will be doing …… sound familiar?!

Easter Holidays Forex Day Dream
Posted by: | CommentsI have been a good forex apprentice and have spent the last two days going over ALL of the training Sid and Kris have given to us as I thought now was an ideal time to just make sure I don’t slip into any bad habits and to go over some of Sid’s really helpful points. Then it hit me – by this time next year I will be a successful trader. I could be buying my family an Easter holiday thanks to all the hard work and one to one personal attention that Sid and Kris continue to give me each day.
I have really missed trading the last two days but knew I had to do this and with things being a bit quieter right after the Easter break I don’t feel I have missed out too much. Mind you, having said that and from what I have seen in the BBC Club – I could have had a great morning this morning.
Ah well, these things happen eh? I would prefer to have a good morning tomorrow having done some revision!
I know that I have said that this before, but learning forex, really is like learning to drive – but better. After you learn to drive and dependant on your personality, new drivers either roar off into the distance or take a gentle drive by themselves. The difference here is we are not taking any risk, Sid and Kris are still here to make sure we don’t forget what we have learnt and really practice to ensure we get the most out of forex.

My First Forex Easter
Posted by: | CommentsWell can you believe it – it’s nearly Easter and we are so close to the much anticipated Easter weekend and I refuse to let this awful weather get the better of me!
When you need to cram five days in to four it can get a bit hectic, in fact I was in Nottingham all day Tuesday and had my first mobile trade! It has been another great week for me – and Sid’s golden rule of safety first has paid off dividends!
I am loving my new found skill of patience and let me tell you why; I know that they say self praise is no praise – buy hey, this is my blog and Sid has said I say what I like so here goes!
Sid has taught us how to read the market and make the most out of it – after all we are here to make our lives better financially. One of the important rules we are taught is not to trade when in doubt; I have been really diligent this week and have been at my desk at 6.30 each day before sorting out the normal daily chores. I have it scheduled into my diary as my daily forex rendez-vous!
Anyway, today it just didn’t feel right – so I didn’t trade. Sounds daft – but it was the right think to do. I listened to what Sid advised us and decided not to risk what I have already made this week.
Sid really made my day after I sent in my daily update when he sent a short email saying “well done” on my decision today. Now isn’t that great one-to-one support after a forex training course?! Sid and Kris have been so great and they are both so patient, although I have no idea how they find the time for all of us!
Right that’s it for today – this might not sound like much to those who are looking at doing a forex training course, but believe me once you begin to learn about how to make money with forex, each new golden rule you experience is even more exciting than the last! By keeping my money safe today I am still making money as I didn’t risk anything – and that’s the point. It’s not about risk – and now I really get it! It really does pay to listen and lock away the ego!
Making Hay Whilst The Sun Shines
Posted by: | CommentsWell, just trying to catch up with myself again after my folks came for a long weekend. So lovely to see them and we had what I call a good old-fashioned family get-together which I love. However, it’s back to the real world and I realised that I’m guilty of not keeping up with my blog posting – so if you are following my progress – I apologise for the long gap and I’ll try to keep up in future
Well, this is a story of last week. I’m still on a voyage of discovery here and it’s probably one of the most exciting things I’ve been involved with for a very long time. I need to explain a few things so you’ll understand where I’m coming from – and more importantly, where I’m going, as I develop my understanding. Because this is SO much better than I have given it credit for up to now. Read More→
Plan for Next Week – Avoiding Compounding My Errors
Posted by: | CommentsI love planning and I try to plan everything where I possibly can. I am one of those sorts that put endless notes around the house that may simply look like a Post It Note with a scrawl on it – but to me it means everything! The only thing that I can fall down on is what we will eat mid-week, there again, don’t we all?
I have really been pondering about the call from last week and Sid said something that has really struck home and I have fully taken on board “avoid compounding our errors”. That makes perfect sense to me and I am entering a new week with greater gusto – and a whole lot of discipline. Whilst in my apprenticeship, I am soaking it all in still and determined to get it right – which I know I can. Read More→
Forex Apprentice – It’s Just Like Passing Your Driving Test
Posted by: | CommentsHi Everyone, it’s been a while and I feel a distinct sense of déjà-vous! Let me take you back to the time you passed your driving test and that sense of excitement, freedom and purpose. You now had your destiny in your own hands, you controlled where you went, when – and how. Completing the forex course has been no different.
My confidence is growing too although I have to say I was over confident one morning this week. I have now got into a good rhythm and am demo trading four mornings out of five during the week, normally getting to my desk anywhere between 6am and 7am, depending on children’s movements and dog walk responsibilities!

So Here It Is – My Forex Training Comes to an End
Posted by: | CommentsWell, here it is, I am literally just about to sit down and listen to my last ever audio and I am definitely going to miss my forex training course! Weird isn’t it? I feel like someone is going away – but I know when I do see them again it will be even better!
I intend to do a much more in-depth post about the whole course in a day or two. I think just a little time to let the last four weeks gel, would be a good idea before I do this.
I am very excited about the joining the support group (The BBC Club). I feel like I will be joining a new group of friends, a bit like moving into a new village where I will learn a lot from others, be a part of something where we’ll chat, share our experiences as ‘forex traders’ and probably have some great experiences along the way.

The End of Week Three of My Forex Training
Posted by: | CommentsIs it really the end of week three already – it’s just flown by! I have learnt a lot, reflected a lot (funny how these things make you think as I have mentioned quite a few times already) and continue to feel that sense of empowerment with the way in which this forex training course is given.
I am continuing to learn not just about great techniques and where I may be able to find an opportunity to trade – and more importantly – how to do it safely, but I am also learning new life skills. Patience for starters, I have a rather poor joke, in that when I explain to people who don’t me know so well that I left the queue whilst God was giving out patience. Moving on swiftly from that (and apologies for my distinctly average sense of humour) – a great lesson this week has been an example of how dangerous not being patient can be in forex. This has been something that has been one of my downfalls in life, not taking a step back and not being patient. I won’t be making that mistake when I am a live trader! Read More→
