How's it, Andre?

Hey. Good, Alan.

Lovely, man. Thanks so much for doing this. I really appreciate today.

Pleasure, man.

All right, so the reason I wanted to do this is to show everybody your results. So can you see my screen?

Yes, I can.

Okay, so is this your FX Blue? Can you confirm that's mine?

Yes.

Okay, so you've got $4,423 in your account.

That's right.

And you have. It's a nice chart. Okay, cool. So you've been trading for 69 days. Oh, my God. Look at your return.

Yeah, it's. It's been really, you know, I've learned so much. Sure.

Wow. So you've obviously topped up your account a few times.

I've topped it up once, twice.

Okay, cool. So you've made 184.6% return on investment.

Yeah.

And you're making approximately 67.5 per month.

Yeah.

So your drawdown's a bit high at the moment, but it hasn't dipped into your. Into your capital, which is. Which is fantastic. So you've got $646 a drawdown, which is. What is that? 646 divided by 4,423. Okay, so it's 14 drawdown. But it's. But it's not. That's of profit, not capital.

Yeah.

So your capital is protected.

My capital is still safe.

Okay, that's 100. So this is amazing. Okay, so what would you tell people that are sitting on the fence?

Look, I've tried to trade a long time ago. I started with stocks.

Yes.

And obviously that, you know, that's too slow. You got to watch it all the time, and it didn't work for me. Then I tried Forex again. Same thing. You got to really know what you're doing. You've got to sit there all day. It takes a lot of time.

This robot really makes it so easy that.

You can program it, you can leave it, and you can just check in on it every now and then.

So how often do you check in on your robot?

At the moment, I'm checking in a lot because, you know, we're addicted.

Like me.

Yeah. Yeah. With all this news and stuff coming out certain in the markets, I'm checking it a lot now, but previously I checked on it, in on it, you know, twice or three times a day. It's so easy from your phone. Yeah. And, you know, just watch it, and it does its thing. You can. You can really leave it and it'll do its thing.

Yeah. So would you say that your settings are Set and forget?

No, not really. I. I've been playing around because I'm still learning.

Okay, cool.

I'm also doing some more research and.

So you, you still tweaking the robot? You're still finding like best settings that are suitable for you? Yes, I think it's also about risk appetite. So you're still discovering your risk appetite, Getting your trading psychology right as well?

Exactly, yes.

Cool. How long have you been trading?

It's 67 days.

No, no, not with me. In totality.

Oh, in totality. Oh, no.

Sure. Started in 2000 around there.

Oh, my God. So you're a seasoned trader?

Well, not really, no. Because I season trader amazing money, so I just left it.

You're seasoned using money?

Yeah.

Okay, cool. So even now with this downturn, how are you feeling? Because there's a. There's a big downturn in the market. Let me just show everybody where we are. Okay. So that they can see. So, big downturn. So your robot was probably placing dollar cost averaging trades here, and now the market's retraced. So you're looking good.

I'm feeling better, yeah.

Okay, cool.

And that FX Blue hasn't updated yet.

My.

I've reduced that drawdown quite a lot.

Okay, let me just refresh the page.

So what do you do for a living, Andres?

I was retrenched from my. From my work in December.

This is a wonderful story then.

Yeah.

And a saving grace then.

A saving grace. Yeah, it looks like it so far. Definitely.

What are you skilled in?

I. I'm in agriculture, specifically technology and the business development and agriculture.

Okay. Yeah. All right. And are you still unemployed?

Still unemployed. I'm busy setting up a couple of businesses and trying to get it. Trying to get a new income stream.

Okay.

Yeah, we'll see how that goes, how that plays out.

Why were you retrenched? Was it just industry or was it age or.

Yeah, industry, company restructuring.

There a problem that a lot of people face.

Oh, yeah.

So what did they put on you? Early. Early retirement or retrenchment in totality?

Retrenchment in totality. Well, we ended up on a. On a vps. So I took a voluntary. Voluntary retrenchment.

Okay.

Simply because that part of the company that I was working on was sold to another company.

Oh, right. Became a corporate.

Yeah, corporate.

Okay, cool. Understood. All right. So what would you tell people? Get involved. Don't get involved. This is.

I know I've been shot in this movie before.

So.

When I saw this, I started small, you know, just to check it out.

Yeah.

I thought it was another too good to be true.

Yeah.

But I started small and I mean, the results speak for themselves.

I think that's where everybody gets it wrong, is that, oh, you know, they've been stung so many times, especially South Africans. We've been burnt. It's like a, a playground for scammers and.

You know, so. Exactly. Start small, but start. I've got this, I've got this saying. It's like, you know, people say, no, I lost money a couple of times. I said, so have you ever been on a date before?

Did you kiss the girl?

Did you marry that girl? No, no, no, no. I said, so are all girls scams? You know, you know, you've got to, you gotta. And this is what sets good traders apart or successful traders apart from the unsuccessful. Is that at least they. The willingness to try again and to, yeah. You know, be open.

You have to have skin in the game to make something.

You got it.

And with the right partner, obviously.

Yes. On that note, how are you feeling about the partnership that you have with us? The support discord, Andre, our paid administrators?

I like all this stuff. I want to see a little bit more personal touch maybe. But obviously I know you don't give financial advice, so sometimes it's difficult to answer these questions.

But I can, I can only tell you what I would do in specific situations.

Yeah.

So if I could, I can say, if this was my account, this is what I would do. These are the pros, these are the cons. You need to make up your mind on what suits you based on your risk appetites, your understanding of the market, how to read a chart, etc.

Yeah, yeah.

But if you've got any pressing questions, they do get answered on the group.

Yes, yes, they do. I did ask once or twice and Andre came back with, with the answers.

And the training, the training videos, how are you? Did you find it easy to set up or was it.

Yeah, training videos were excellent. You know, going through, working through those systematically, that's what helped me to configure my robot.

Yeah.

I do think you need a bit of technical knowledge, computer knowledge to, to be able to understand everything the first time.

Yeah.

But you know, it's, it's with the support, if there's something you don't know, then it's easy.

Yeah. And, and are you getting value of me posting my.

What I'm doing and now I'm reading the chart. Are you getting a better understanding of the methodology of the market, of my trading strategy that's so important that you.

Know you can do as much as you like, but if you don't understand what people are talking about, then you. It's going to be difficult. And, I mean, I'm learning every day.

Yeah. Well, that's fantastic. All right, buddy. Well, thanks so much. I really appreciate you coming onto this call and.

Can only wish you strength. To strength. To strength. And we'll chat in another 60 days and see how you're doing.

Perfect.

All right, buddy. Thank you so much. Okay.
