So you want to become a Forex trader, make millions, quit your day job and travel the world?

You see all these Forex gurus flexing their profits, stacks of cash, big booty huns and expensive sports cars, and you want in!

Queue the music, it is time for a THREAD!
So you want to make millions, pop bottles on the weekends and drive a Tesla, but you have no idea what Forex trading is!?

Simply put, it's the conversion of one country's currency into another country's currency. (2/14)
Let's say you and the boys are planning a bro-trip overseas to go and watch the Man United vs. Liverpool match.

At Manchester airport, you realize all your cash have a picture of Nelson Mandela on it, which you can't use to buy beers with at the game. (3/14)
Big oofs all around... until you realize you need to swap your SA money for crisp new British pounds, in order to enjoy the game without dying of thirst. (4/14)
Now that exchange in currencies from SA Rand's to British Pounds makes use of something called a Foreign Exchange Rate between South Africa (ZAR) and the United Kingdom (GBP).

And this foreign exchange rate (or Forex rate) is continuously changing throughout the day, (5/14)
week, month and year, and these price fluctuations are then visualized on a chart, the GBPZAR currency chart.

Forex traders can then use this chart to perform market analysis on and determine with a certain degree of accuracy, (6/14)
the likely direction for the Forex rate to move to in the near future!

And then they can either buy or sell this Forex rate using a Forex broker to connect them to the Forex markets.(7/14)
If their analysis is correct, they profit and get to watch more live football matches with the boys, but if their analysis is wrong, they lose money and it's 2-minute noodles for a week (just kidding, this is where Risk management comes in!)(8/14)
So that in essence is how Forex trading works!

If you want to learn more about the world of Forex trading and how to transform R500 into R20 000 in 2 days, buy a mansion in Constantia and flip the finger to your boss at work, then buy my Forex trading course to find out!(9/14)
Just kidding, a Forex trader selling a Forex course, how original, he must charge like R3000 for this course right?

Wrong!

But I did create a course though... (10/14)
I spent the past 5 months compiling a course that I believe contains everything a beginner needs to know to get started trading the Forex markets.

It is a 9 hour course with 42 lessons, and cost around R200 on discount! (11/14)
Really a steal if you ask me, but I might be a bit biased.

So if you are interested in learning more about the world of Forex trading, you can check out my course, the link is in my profile bio.

I will be giving away a 100% OFF coupon to the first 4 people that DM me. (12/14)
My aim with the course is just to educate people a bit more about Forex trading, and to be completely transparent in the process!

Also just to show South Africans in particular that Forex trading isn't as bad as News24 makes it out to be, or a scam or ponzi scheme, (13/14)
and you really don't need to withdraw your entire pension fund to get started!

So thanks for coming to my TED Talks, I look forward to sharing more of these threads with you in the future! (14/14)
