Every Trader’s Story

Once a Trader, Always a Trader
I still remember the first time I placed a trade… My heart was racing! Was I about to get rich, or was I about to lose everything?
How It All Started

I was managing a plaza when I met a guy who showed me a gold chart and said, "I just made $100 in two minutes." I was shocked because, at that time, my monthly salary was only $70. That moment changed my perspective.
I started comparing my earnings with his two-minute trade. I had some savings—$200—so I deposited it into a trading account, hoping to make money fast. Within a week, I lost everything. I had no knowledge of Forex trading, no strategy, and no risk management.

The Learning Phase
Instead of giving up, I decided to learn. I deposited $37, and this time, I managed to grow it to $299! But I didn’t withdraw because I thought I was still learning. I lacked discipline, proper risk management, and the right trading psychology. Soon, I lost everything again.
This led to a painful one-year losing streak—I kept depositing and blowing my account. Frustrated, I started believing Forex was a scam and decided to quit.

The Turning Point

Looking back, my biggest mistake was not following an experienced mentor. I joined paid groups, but they didn’t help me.

Then came the darkest phase of my life. I was drowning in debt, borrowing money from everywhere—even from Easypaisa and JazzCash loans—just to fund my trading. But after years of struggle, I had a realization:

Trading is all about patience and discipline.

No matter how much you learn, if you don’t follow risk management, you will fail.

Where I Am Today

After three years of hurdles and pain, I finally turned things around. I learned the right way, followed proper strategies, and most importantly, respected risk management. Today, I have cleared all my debts and earn a decent amount through trading.

The journey wasn’t easy, but it was worth it.

Final Thoughts

If you are struggling in trading, remember this: Forex is not a get-rich-quick scheme. It takes time, patience, and discipline.
