My Wife Tried Trading Forex For 24 Hours and The Results Surprised Me

In this informal YouTube vlog, Josiah Stewart challenges his wife, Destiny, to trade a live $500 Forex account for a full day despite her having no prior experience. The video walks viewers through multiple trade attempts, covering how they decide entry points, set stop‑losses and take‑profits, and manage lot sizes. Throughout the day, Destiny experiences both wins and losses, including a profitable first trade (+$140) and several losing trades that bring the account down to $415. Josiah frequently points out common beginner mistakes such as miscalculating spread, over‑sizing lots, and improper risk‑to‑reward ratios. The vlog blends real‑time trading commentary with banter, occasional frustration, and light‑hearted moments. Toward the end, Josiah reflects on the overall performance, noting the account ended only slightly below the starting balance, and he promotes his paid "signals chat" and a free trading course, urging viewers to like, subscribe, and follow him on Instagram. The content serves both as entertainment and a loosely instructional showcase of novice Forex trading dynamics.

What is good, my people? We are back again with another gem. Listen, today we have a little bit of a different video. This video is very exciting. I'm very excited to make this video. I wanted to make this video for a little while now, but basically I'm going to have my wife trade Forex for 24 hours. Now, keep in mind, she knows really nothing about it. Honestly, like, I'll be in trades and I'll show her. I'll be like, oh, I'm up $5,000 now, I'm up $10,000 now. She'll be like, close it, close it, close it. Or I'll ask her sometimes just jokingly, like, um, should I close the trade here? Should I hop into a buy here or sell here? Do you think the price is going to go up or down? And she'll tell me something, um, but I've never actually tried it. Maybe— I'm not gonna lie to y'all, she be guessing, she be guessing pretty good a lot of times. So I decided to load up an account. I was gonna load up like $5,000 into an account, then I was like, uh, nah, I'll just do $1,000. But then I realized I didn't feel like doing all that. I'm gonna just do a $500 account. Maybe if y'all like the video, if y'all smash the like button— smash the like button— but if y'all smash the like button, I'll do it again with more money. But I'm just gonna start off with $500 today.. As y'all see, I have an account right here loaded up, $500. Y'all see I just deposited. This is a live account, um, and all that. So she doesn't know she's about to do this. I'm about to go in there. I think she just woke up, so I'm about to go in there, kind of tell her what the heck she's doing, and hopefully hop into our first trade now. So I'm about to go, um, get my hair cut, so I want to be in a trade before I go get my hair cut so that when I come back from my haircut, she can see how her trade is doing, whether it's doing good or doing bad. So if you decide for this video, smash the like button, you know, so you can subscribe if you're not subscribed already. I'm gonna be making more videos like this, more like entertaining type videos instead of just sitting down and going over charts 24/7 because that's pretty boring. Um, but yeah, I'm gonna be making more lit videos like this, so make sure you're subscribed. And without further ado, let's hop right into this. Wait, before we hop into the video, I should have made Destiny do this before I did this video so she could make more money, because if she did this, then she would probably make like $5,000 on this $500 account. But I have a signals chat, you know what I'm saying? Y'all can sign up for my signals chat, link inside description. It's also inside the comment section down below. But included in the signals chat is a whole free course that'll take you from knowing absolutely nothing to knowing how to run the game and start printing money off your freaking phone, you know what I'm saying? So if that's something that interests y'all, go inside the link inside the description or top of the comments will be there too. Now let's for real go tell Destiny her challenge for the day. Booty, you want to do something fun? Okay, so I just loaded up an account, it has $10,000 on it, and basically you're gonna trade it for the whole entire day. And whatever you make on it, you get to keep. It's not— I lied, it's not $10,000, it's $500, because if you lose that money, whatever. But whatever amount is that, um, the account is at by the end of the day, you get to keep. So if you make more money on it— huh? Yeah, I know, you just go look at the chart. Look, you just go look at the chart, tell me if you think you should— it's gonna go up or go down, and I'm gonna hop into the trade and you're gonna tell me when to close the trade.
It's gonna go up.
You think so? Yeah, okay, so going to a buy. You probably have to leave it till I come back.
Let me go look on the computer.
Oh, come on, come on, she's being bougie.
Okay, this is where it's at right now. Yep, it's gonna come up here, up there, it's gonna come right here.
You think it's gonna go right there? Yeah. What do you think the lowest place it can go is? The lowest?
Yeah, yeah.
I'm gonna set my stop. I'm gonna set the stop loss for you right there. Yeah. Okay, how much do you want to risk this trade? I don't know. You have $500 inside your account. How much do you want to risk?
What if I lose all the $500?
I'm not— just say you want to risk— you want to risk $100 on this? Yeah. Okay, cool. So we're gonna hop into the trade right here. This is a 2:8 risk-to-reward ratio. Let me hop into it right now. Actually, we want to risk $500. So let's hop in with a point. Oh yeah, $100. So let's hop in with a point.
This is going to take me out the trade, right?
Yeah. But you already chose what you want to do. You can't change it now.
But I get to trade the way I want to trade. I don't want to do it the way you do it.
Okay.
So wait till it go TP3.
No.
When it hit TP1.
What is TP1 for you? Down here. So you just want to trade it to right here? Oh my days. Okay, we about to hop in right now. Yeah, let's go. Bye-bye market. I'm not gonna lie to you, I think I put in too big of a lot size, Destiny. What do you mean? I think I did the math wrong in my head. Really? Yeah, so this might lose you more than, um, what you thought.
You gotta eat the loss.
What do you mean I gotta eat the loss?
But what happens if I win?
For real, if you win, then you get to keep the money.
All of it? Yeah. See, I need more money from you.
Come on now, she being greedy. All right, we go. I'mma update y'all when, um, this actually moves more, probably when I get back home from the barber shop. All right, so the trade ain't doing too bad, I'm not going to lie to y'all. Let's go show Destiny what's going down. I don't know if I should show her anymore. Destiny, good news. It was up $60, but on the way here it went down. What you want to do? You want to keep it or you want to wait till I come back or you want to close it out? You want to leave until I come back from the barbershop or you want to close it out? I don't know.
I guess we leave it.
I don't know. It's at $50 now. What you want to do, leave it?
Yeah, leave it.
All right, we leaving it. I'm about to go get my haircut. We'll see what it's like when I come back. No, no, no, you got to wait till I come back home.
But that's not realistic.
It is. None of this is realistic. You don't know how to trade. All right, so I just got home. We're getting my haircut, you know what I'm saying? This is honestly ridiculous. Destiny, where you at? Are you clothed? You want to know how your tray did?
Oh, you look good. Thank you.
You think your tray hit or you think it did bad?
I think it did good.
Think so? Yeah. Why do you think that?
Because I just know.
You just know what?
I just know it did good.
That's right, it literally went to where you said it was gonna go.
See, I told you you were supposed to take it out.
It did take it out. You won the trade. What are you yelling at me for?
I knew it.
No, don't kiss me.
You got hair on your lips. Okay, your cheek.
No, no, because you over here yelling at me.
Love you.
So the trade hit, as y'all see right here on the phone. She's pregnant. Well, y'all are pregnant, but she has made $140 on the $500 account, so I'm at $640. Yep.
So can I just stop now and take the money?
No, no, we have to trade more.
I don't like the risk.
You want to trade right now?
I don't like the risk.
You have to trade.
Why I got to keep trading on this chart?
You want to do a different chart? No. Okay, let's go on the computer and let's see what Destiny gonna do next. Okay, so this is the first trade she did. I don't know how she did this crap, but she put it right here after the camera had turned off. She did. I don't think I was recording it. Did I record when you changed your take profit?
I don't think so.
Oh, but, um, yeah, she said right after that, she's like, nah, I'm gonna just move my take profits right here. So she moved it right there and literally went there and went back down. I don't know how she did that, but it's time for you to get another trade. What are we thinking?
Okay, where is it? Why can't I see this? I'm supposed to remember this number?
What do you— what number? As y'all see, this is her first time trading. She ain't never—
I'm gonna wait till it drop down a little more and then it's gonna come up here. It's gonna come like here and then it's gonna go back up. I didn't get my nails done. I was supposed to go to the nail shop today.
Maybe if you do— you trading good, you can get your nails done, right?
I think I can get them done regardless. But yeah, this is too choppy. I can't—
I'm not talking about this stream right here.
I mean, it's not that— I don't think choppy is the right word, but it's no clear where I should enter at. So no, I'm not taking it.
So you just want to wait?
Yeah, yeah. Give me another one.
All right, let's find her another chart. All right, so here we are. Price has done what she said it's going to do yet again. So this is the trade you want. She set this up herself. She said to take profit and all that. Okay, so we hopping into this trade right now. You ready?
How much money am I gonna lose if it goes $100? All right, I already made how much?
$120. Okay, so about to hop into the trade. I'm just do the math real quick, then we'll hop in it. All right, so here we go. Let's hop into this trade. We're gonna do a point Oh, a 3 lot size right here. We're just gonna press buy. Boom, we are officially in the trade.
Okay, so if I win, how much money am I winning?
You're gonna win like $200.
See, I need more money.
Are you being greedy? You're risking $100 to make $200. That's what we like to see.
That's good.
So you're happy with that? Yeah. Okay, let's see what this does. All right, so it went in profit a little bit and then it was in drawdown for a little while. I'm not gonna lie to you, Destiny. How you feeling with this trade so far? You feeling fine? Then she about to go to the grocery store. This is what it's looking like right now. Right now she's down $25, $24, whatever it is. Um, but yeah, she going to the grocery store. So hopefully when she comes back from the grocery store, you'll be rich. Yeah, hopefully. You confident?
Well, I got a question. Is it gonna— what if it do it past this? Do what I'm saying, then nothing.
You got out right here, so you don't make any extra money.
No, like past this one.
Oh, that don't matter.
Okay.
Yeah, that don't matter.
All right, I love you.
All right, love you too. Good luck.
Thank you.
So Destiny just got back from the store. Honestly, I haven't checked the trade. Um, I don't know if it won, I don't know if it lost. Um, what do you think?
I don't know how I'm feeling right now.
You don't know how you feeling? Let's see if we can afford these groceries. All right, so here we are on it. Oh no, you lost.
I lost?
Yeah. Oh, she lost. Oh, y'all can see it on the screen, but she lost $119.
You told me I was gonna lose $100.
I think I did the math wrong.
Yeah, you did.
So now you're actually negative. You're at $486. How am I negative when you said I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know. But the spread was— I messed up because I didn't include the spread. And all that. So right now she's actually down from the $500. You're not gonna know what it means. I ain't gonna explain it to you, but she down. She lost that trade, $119 from that trade. You have to— you can't just do 2 trades a day. You have to do 20 trades a day, just like every new trader. Anyways, man, we're gonna see. Hopefully she make this money back. So we go— I'm gonna hit y'all when we figure out what the heck we gonna do next, because we was— we was real hyped this morning when she was up. I was like, oh, she finna flip this account. She about to be the best trader. I have people DM me talking about put her in the signals chat, put her on the signals chat. Instagram. I don't miss. All right, y'all, we back. You know what I'm saying? Destiny, it's been a couple hours. How are you feeling?
Sleepy.
Are you still confident after your, um, your, your loss today?
Uh, I can't really find a chart to be too confident right now.
We looking at USDJPY. You see anything here? You want to try to find something else?
Um, I think I should sell.
So you want to go in for a buy?
Yeah.
All right, let's set up the trade now after staring at the chart for 3 hours.
Maybe I should sell.
You want to sell?
Just turn the camera off. Help me.
No, I can't help you. You got to do it yourself.
Wait, how long ago was this?
That was this morning at 8:25 in the morning.
Yeah, I'll go for a buy.
You're gonna go for a buy? You sure? She just stared at the chart for another 30 minutes, y'all. Like, I cut it out, but she's been staring at the chart, going over this chart.
Yeah, I'll do buy.
A buy? So this is the— this is the play you want right here? I don't even know how the pips work on this. I ain't gonna lie to you, I don't think I've ever traded USDJPY. All right, let me try and hop into this trade now. I gotta figure out exactly what pip size I should go into it at, or what lot size. Let's go on it with a 5. I don't know the math on this one, I'm not gonna lie. I'm guessing, I'm really guessing. So I think I should hop in with a 10 lot size. No, that'd probably be bad. I hop in with a Let me see what a 1 lot size does actually. Oh no, you did it! It's down 60. It automatically got in down 67. Wait a minute, why, why it started the, the trade up all the way up here? Look, it says I got into the trade all the way up here, but I got in right here. Oh, they hacking, they hacking, they cheated me. We should close this honestly. Close it. Okay, I'm gonna close it. I'm gonna close it. I don't know, that does count against you. That's minus $60. Your account is sitting at $418 now.
Josiah, that's your fault.
Why are you eating popcorn?
To watch this.
So you're gonna sit here and just watch the chart?
Look at my money.
Yeah, it's hitting. The trade is hitting.
I mean, I'm not trying yet.
The trade is hitting, but I don't know what the heck going on. This ain't never happened to me. This is why I only trade NAS. Okay, let's trade Ethereum.
Nah, Ethereum already lost me a lot of money.
Nope. Nah.
I don't like Ethereum. Nope.
This has to be a joke. All right, I'm gonna hit y'all when we figure out what the heck we finna do, because right now we just got hosed down and lost $60 for no reason. All right, so we on the Bitcoin chart now. She want to go on for a sell on Bitcoin, right? How you drop popcorn on my desk? I didn't.
I put it right there.
All right, here we go. So we're gonna hop in the cell right here. This, this is what yourself gonna look like. Where you want your stop loss? Up here, up here, up here.
No, down, down, down.
Right here.
I got it.
All right, right there.
Yep.
Where you wanted to take profit at?
Right here.
Right there?
Yeah.
All right, so this is the trade right here. We're gonna hop into this Bitcoin. I, I haven't traded Bitcoin in a long time, so I don't even know the numbers for that either. All right, let's hop into the trade now. Let's do a 0.01. I don't even know if it's enough money in this account to do it. Oh, there is. I need more than that. Okay, we're gonna do a point.
Oh yeah, because Bitcoin is so expensive.
Sell by market. You wanna, you wanna risk a lot on this one to make a lot? You wanna Hail Mary it?
This is my last trade.
I don't know. All right, so you want to Hail Mary it?
What is that?
I mean, we just gonna go crazy, do a super high lot size and risk a lot of money to make a lot of money. You wanna do it?
Look, no, no, no.
Uh-uh, don't do it.
This is my last trade of the day.
You want it to be?
I'm doing no more after this.
Oh no, she done got— I'm too good. Too good? You won for— you, you won for one. Well, you lost one, you won one, but the other one I won.
Go to my thing.
Hold on, let's see. The other trade that, that she— that we took but it was broken, it's, it's in profit but ain't doing too much. So you want to sell this? You want to sell this?
Yeah, I'm going for sale.
For a huge sale? Right now you wouldn't want— you in two sales, too small. I can't do two. I don't know the math for $250. So I'm going to honestly just do sell by market. Okay, now we talking.
Now we talking. I'm negative.
You're not— you negative, but you're going to be positive. You just gotta wait.
Look at it trying to go up.
Oh yeah, it's gonna go up. You finna lose. All right, I'm gonna update.
Wow, so encouraging. That's what I'm gonna tell you when you have a trade. It needs to do how you be every day.
I don't be like that. I don't be like that.
Um, sometimes.
No, I don't. I'd be like, okay, I'm in a trade.
No, you might—
I know. I'd be like, oh, that's it, it might take me out.
No, you'll be like, oh, you made me lose the trade because you wanted me to go to Chick-fil-A and I forgot to do my step profit or whatever.
No, I'll be— because she be making me go to Chick-fil-A when I'm waiting to hop into a trade, and as soon as I'm about to hop in the trade, she want me to go to Chick-fil-A, so I miss my trade.
As soon as I'm about to hop in the trade, you want to record and tell everybody, so you put me in the wrong thing and made me lose.
I didn't put you in nothing. You did, you did this.
No, you did it on your phone, man.
Okay, just— I'm about to I'm gonna just set the stop loss and everything like that, and then I'm gonna come— we gonna come back to y'all. Goodbye. Come here.
What?
Um, so remember that first trade that you took that it didn't work?
Yeah, good thing it didn't.
All right, I'll go to the Bitcoin chart. That's the one we actually hopped in. Lost again.
See, I should have put this up here.
Yeah, you should have, but you didn't. So now the account is—
something told me to do that, bro.
Now they told me to put it right here. Now the account is sitting at $337.
That's because you lost my money.
You see how people just blame you when you help them? Maybe you're not supposed to trade these other currencies. Maybe you only— because you did good when you traded NAS, which is what I trade.
This is NAS.
Yeah, you did not lose on NAS. You should have tried. You should just trade it again.
The one that I did on NAS, right?
That's the one that—
yeah, wait, is it?
Yeah, but no, this is not the one that I want. Yeah, I know it's not the one you want, but you want to hop another NAS trade? I think that you should because you— because you won last time. Now delete this, we don't need this. Where do you think price is going to go?
Sell.
You think it's gonna sell?
Yeah.
To where? To right here? To right here? Where do you think it's gonna go?
I think it's gonna go to— I think it's gonna go here.
Right there? Okay, so let's hop on the sell.
Do you think so?
I'm not— I can't help you.
Yes, you can.
No, I can't. This is you. You don't—
I help you?
No, you tell me to close out my position every time you see it's blue.
Yeah, stop now. Take your money and go.
No, no, no, no, no. All right, so you want to hop in right here?
Yeah.
You sure? So I'm going for a sell with a 20-pip stop loss up here, right?
Yeah.
Okay, we finna hop into the trade. Put all the money on it? 250? Risk the whole account?
Yeah. We're rich.
Okay, I guess we're rich. Let me do the math. Hold on, y'all. All right, so we have officially hopped into the trade here. Let me go to the chart actually. So we're going to put our stop loss right here. She said she wants it, so we're going to put it right here. And now I'm gonna just, um, take profit and everything after. Are you confident in this trade?
Yeah.
Is this your last trade?
Yeah, win or lose.
Win or lose, last trade?
Yeah, I don't got time to be trading. I didn't train in the morning when I wake up or nothing.
She want to be the GOAT, Juvia, man. Now everybody can be the GOAT, but if you want, I can keep I can teach you the game though.
Rarely you'll trade.
I don't really trade this late at all.
Yeah, so what? I shouldn't do it either. I gotta follow you.
You're right.
So last one, let's go.
All right, I'm gonna update y'all and see what the heck going on. Wish her luck, please.
I'm gonna start with the first one, took my $120, my buck 20, and went on.
But you didn't because you got greedy.
It's all right, come on. How much money we finna win?
All right, I don't know how much we finna win. We finna see. Right now you ain't up nothing right now.
Why? That's because you're not getting in at the right time.
I'm getting in, but there's a spread. There's something called a spread. There's something called a spread.
That's because you keep trying to record. I would have already been up $500.
Anyways, y'all, I'm gonna hit y'all when this is actually doing something. All right, so in the trade, I just entered another position for like a bigger position. It's really at the same price. Um, because we realized it wasn't risking that much. I'm not really used to the NAS mini numbers, so I really just trade regular NAS. But hopefully this hits and we make some good money, make the money back at least.
Yeah, because you keep saying I don't really do this, but I want to do what you do.
Let's join the signals chat. Plug. You're gonna join it? Don't hit my phone.
I didn't hit it, for real. Anyway, this is how I've been looking on camera all day.
I'm up there, y'all. When the heck, um, this trade hit? If it hit— if it don't hit, that's— she's just gonna go to sleep sad because she only gonna get like $50. But if it do hit, she gonna go to sleep happy because she gonna get like—
if you would have told me that I could never trade from the jump, I would have got $500.
So you would just kept the $500? Yes. And never worked for it? Never traded that account at all? No. People just be trying to take money.
Or I should have stopped at my first one, $620. I should have, honestly.
All right, y'all, so Destiny, come here. So this is the last tray of the night, you know what I'm saying? Destiny has not seen it yet. She over there doing laundry. Come on, bro, we gotta get to this money, man.
I already know how you know you won. I'm out of breath.
Y'all know my— y'all know my wife is pregnant, so like she comes up one flight stand, she'd be out of breath.
Babe, you know that's a long flight though.
Just sit down. Sit, sit, sit.
Wait, which one did I go in?
You went in this one and it hit.
Oh, and then it went right back up.
Yeah, it almost took me out. Yeah, it went super, super close to her stop loss. Almost took her out, but it didn't, and it went right back down and let her win the trade. Unfortunately though, Destiny—
unfortunately none of that matters because I won 2 and lost 1.
So no, overall, one day you won 2.
No, because one didn't matter. One didn't count.
No, look, we said that it didn't count, so it didn't count. And what So, but like I said, unfortunately, um, this trade did not hit for as much as I thought it would. It only hit for like $90.
I told you I needed more money.
So you finished the day off with $415 in the account.
Well, you gotta give me my money back for the other trade. I lost like $70.
No, I don't gotta give you nothing.
Yeah, you do, because you put it in wrong.
You didn't know how to trade, or you didn't do whatever Okay, I'm gonna just give her $500. Whatever. Yes!
What can I buy?
Nothing.
$500? You really can't buy anything with $500.
Yeah, but honestly, y'all, that's the end of the video. Honestly, she did pretty decent, you know what I'm saying? She had— she won the first trade. I think Nas is just for her, just like me. All I trade is Nas, you know what I'm saying? Just—
you're my son.
Don't you mean you're my son? Because if I trade Nas and I taught you the game—
you didn't teach me anything.
What's wrong with you?
Did you teach me anything? Yeah, a whole lot. Thanks, babe. Thanks, Dad.
Because of the signals, chat. Boom. Crazy. Anyways, that's the end of the video. This was actually— it actually went better than I thought. I thought we was going to lose the whole $500. We was very close when she kept losing back to back to back.
What do you mean back to back? See, your haters just be all around you.
No, but what's it called? Yeah, but we ended up finishing not too far away from what we started with, so I'm happy about that, you know what I'm saying? If y'all want me to do it again, y'all let me know in the comments down below. Make sure y'all smash the like button. I don't know if I'm gonna do it again because we gotta let Destiny actually watch the course, because she actually has never watched the free course that's included in the student's chat. If she did do that, she would have won every trade and she'd be 100 million percent profitable.
Let's go!
You worry about the wrong things, bro.
Chick-fil-A.
