One year of trading
Toward the end of high school, Joseph made the decision to give trading a try for one year, and if it didn’t work out, he’d go to University to study banking. After graduation, he spent the summer working and saving money, and by fall, he was able to open a brokerage account to start trading covered warrants. In just 40 days, he lost everything he had. Instead of getting upset, he focused all of his energy into studying and learning how to trade well.
The day that changed his life!
Joseph was making money hand over fist! He was finding success at every turn. He was working out of a small “office” under the stairs in his parents’ home, with only two monitors, when he made almost 6 figures IN ONE DAY! That’s life-changing money right there. But better than the money, was the look of pride that he saw when he looked into his parents’ eyes. Joseph says it was one of the best moments of this life.
Starting over
Joseph had grown accustomed to bringing in 5-10k/day . Sometime around 2002-2003, when the Italian banks realized they were losing money, the markets changed, and Joseph found himself unable to trade covered warrants anymore. Basically, he had to find something else to trade and completely start the educational process over again.
