how does this trader make money?

Quoting FxBabe
I know this guy whose in his early twenties who started trading forex little over 2 years ago and now has his own company, drives a ferrari and has a £800k house.

How does he do it?
so if you know him...what's the point of the question?!?!

oh my God!

The point is to get somebody to dish out a decent swing trading system I guess. And to be honest, Im looking for one too.

Facetiously I would say do Exactly what he is doing, including passing on your wisdom for a price.
Quoting rallyeman
Perhaps he made money from selling his trading system as well as trading!

I personally know someone who has done this, he made a great deal of money selling a complete training course, whilst trading for himself also. BTW he has only been trading 2 years, and could be considered very wealthy!

there is no secret - all of the above mentioned facts - a system with an edge, leverage, compounding, full time trading and trading a range of markets will all allow you to achieve what you are asking, sometihng else that is very important is adequate capitalisation. You are never (shouldn't say never as in theory it is possible, however also unlikely) going to make $1000000 starting with $1000, it is easier to make $1000000 if you start with $1000000 (ok maybe $100000). When I say easier, I don't mean easy, you still have to fill all of the above criteria and be a good trader to boot.

Good luck.
You can, however move on quite a bit, when in market situations with very very high probability set ups, you risk like 20% instead of 2% of your account. Then you can see your account almost literally explode. Like with every 50 pips the market moves in your direction, your micro-account goes up another 100%.
The sword cuts both ways. But most only want to believe in the profit side.

Good luck to you my friend, if you can find these setups I wish you the greatest success. But in my opinion there is no setup worth risking 20% of my trading capital. It may work once or twice but if it goes against you, it's bye bye trading and welcome to the famous 95%.
Does FXBabe or anybody know where this guy can be reached? What forum he visits? how one can get his trading system? etc, etc?

One needs tp get to the root of this matter to know how true this claim is.

Pls post for all to view.

Something here confuses me. You said you "know this guy"....So if you know this guy then ask him. Knowing someone means you are friend or acquintance. And I am sure he would love to share his secrets with you. Afterall If you can duplicate what he does then he can upgrade to a Rolls Royce in no time with your help.

But i suspect this statement belongs with all the other urban legends eg. "I know this guy who exports cool aid cooldrink powder to an africa country and are making millions"

or

"I have turned my $1000 into $1 000 000 in a week"

or

"I know someone who has seen the Loch Ness Monster"

or

"I have seen BigFoot"

Conclusion: If trading forex was that easy then Ferrari would be the top selling car and everyone would live in the caribbean all laying on the beach trading off their laptops while sipping on a margherita.

It is always concerning when someone spreads the word that forex is a quick rich scheme where you can make a killing and undo Bill Gates as the world's richest man. People please wake up.

I have posted a list of the top 40 young richest people in the USA. Guess how many are forex traders? Zero!!!!!!!!!!!!
