I've been thinking about writing my story for a while now and finally decided to go ahead with! When I turned 19, it was the first time when my saving account has hit $100,000. The first thing that I did was to invest all my savings into stocks. Back in 2012-2013 I made about 20% profit + all the savings I had during the year. Before the oil crisis, my portfolio size reached almost $700,000 which made me feel amazing. Having that much money when your only 21 felt really good!! However, since the economy was not doing as well in my part of the world (also bought over-valued stocks), my portfolio size went down to $200,000. Lesson learned, don't rely on one investment tool! Also, this was the time where I had decided to invest heavily in learning about technical analysis. I took all sort of classes in Price Action, Harmonic trading, Elliott wave, classic trading etc.
To end it in a good note, this mistake tough me to become a profitable trader today, I can finally say I've become a profitable trader for the past 12 months!!
I love giving back, and thought it would be a great idea to share some tips (including technical) on how I become the trader I am today.
I'll start sharing the first series of lessons learned and tips this week, let me know what you think?
Also, feel free to ask my ANY question in the comment section below :)!
How long did it took you to learn to trade? Could you recommend me some tips to practice everyday? Thankyou!

@ediazanleu, I've been trading for the past 5 years, and been learning for the past 5 years :)! Tips to practice everyday? If you miss one trading opportunity don't worry, 10 new opportunities will come tomorrow!

@AAlFadhala, Wow! Perfect response. I've been a victim of chasing lost opportunities in the past. Lesson learned, but in the harshest way possible

A Very Inspiring story! I hope I am not too late in investing :) I have always been interested in investing when I was 13 however I didn't have the tools back then as we do now. I would really like to learn more when you have the time to share. Wishing you all the best!
Nice story and also a good advise to everyone. I feel you are a very nice person who is very helpful. Not every one comes forward to help others. Much appreciated.
I would like to be more in touch with you. Would you be able to share me your email id. You can email it to me on findriz_bt@outlook.com
