Hey guys, how are you? Vladimir here from Traders Academy Club, and in this video I would like to start with a big thank you. Thank you for you, my loyal followers. Uh, thank you for a great time together, and I know this message doesn't sound, uh, in a too positive light for a reason. I decided that this is enough. What is enough? Enough of doing what I want. I've been doing for so many years. Every person reaches this moment in life where he or she are simply getting exhausted, tired, and for me. The promise with myself always was that as long as I enjoy doing what I do, I, I will, I'll continue. And I enjoyed delivering my knowledge, my expertise, my ideas, and my qualities as a trader to my followers. And to my members, I enjoyed every single time I recorded a video. Every single time I had the chance to meet my followers and members in person in our club meetings around the world. I enjoyed working with my students one on one and to mentor them to their success. I enjoyed. I enjoyed doing. This very thing— being a trading coach, a trading mentor, a trading personality, some— someone who a lot of people can follow, can rely on, and to deliver them the best of my values and the best of my knowledge. And today I decided I was sitting with myself and for a while now, to be honest, and I was thinking when, how to announce such thing because, you know, I don't know how it's supposed to be done. I was talking to a buddy of mine and in a gym, at the gym yesterday, yesterday morning, and he said, Vlad, You've been simply as you are, realistic, straightforward for so many years. Just continue. And I decided, yeah, I'm going to be as simple as that. No filters, no edits. You know my videos, I'm not editing anything. I record as is, and that's, that's my truth. Why do I have to edit my truth? And you know, if you know what you are talking about, if you know what you deliver, then why do you have to waste your time on the different sort of filters and whatever? Anyway, this is my style, this is who I am, and this is how I decided to end this amazing period. And this is how I decided to to say thank you very much for providing me this opportunity. For allowing me to mentor, allowing me to guide, to lead, to share my knowledge, to create so many unbelievable stories among my members, among my students. Of course, it's not 100%, but it's impossible to affect on 100% of people. But with hundreds of success stories among my members and my students. While so many of them are legit traders working in the industry trading for themselves, many of them are fully funded traders, many of them are just using their own money to deliver their income. I can— I could not ask for more. I, I could not— I could not dream more When I just started, so thank you once again for this opportunity. It was a hard decision to me to go for such move. It was a very hard decision for me to take, and all that happened when I simply realized that today is. April Fool's Day! And sorry if I was dramatic, but I decided that this will be my way to wish you a happy April Fool's Day. And I hope you did not get too upset of me leaving because I'm not going anywhere. As I said at the beginning of this video, as long as I enjoy doing what I'm doing As long as I can contribute from myself, from my time, my knowledge, my efforts, and can share that with my community, people who decide to follow me, people who rely on what I have to say, people that can relate to my expertise, relate to my knowledge as an internationally certified financial technician, And together go all the way to success in the trading journey. So thank you indeed for being a member, for being a follower, for supporting me, my team, our work for such a long period. We are here, we continue to deliver. There are amazing things. That are about to happen in the coming years. We are building some unbelievable features and technologies. Once it's ready, once it's there, you will be the first to know. So sorry if I took this chance too dramatic, and this is just the way I decided to wish you a very happy April Fool's Day. I hope You were not fooled too many times. Thanks for your time watching this video. I wish you a fabulous day. Stay safe, be healthy. All the best to you, to your beloved ones, and peace and love to everyone who watched this video. All the best, Vladimir from Traders Academy Club. I'll see you soon with more.
