- Basically I was just a regular working stiff who got tired of the daily grind and decided to do something about it. So I quit my job in the construction business and started trying to find creative ways to generate income. I discovered trading and gave it a whirl in early 2006. I was convinced I was going to be the exception to the rule that every trader blows out his account on the first try. I started off well, but eventually I lost my edge and, like everyone else, blew out my account.
I spent a couple months sulking around and dreading going back to work as the rest of my money ran out. To make a long story short I was eventually introduced to a friend of a family friend who had formerly been a trader on the floor of the CME for quite a few years. After learning from him a set of very basic, but very effective market truths I was able to come back into the markets and slowly gain profitability. By mid 2006 with the help of my mentor I was on my way to becoming a consistently profitable trader.
It is now 2009 and I have done pretty well and maintained profitability throughout the entire financial crisis( not that it's over). There were a couple of months around late October, 2008 through early January, 2009 that I was having a little trouble staying in the green, but I managed my money well and came out just fine. I met Brendan in the early part of 2009 and we started working together soon after that on The TradingApples Pro Active Trader Course, which I spent a great deal of time and energy writing. Brendan came in after that to help me with all of the production aspects of the course. After that project we continued to work together on building The TradingApples.com community which we have high hopes for and will continue to invest our time and energy into. Currently I trade full time from home and maintain the community here at TradingApples.com* -Gabriel "Shoot" Baryard - Location
