- I got liquidated
Hey royals,
When I first started trading, it wasn't even my idea.
It was my ex's.
He got the ball rolling, but eventually, I took over his account - and with it, the responsibility, the curiosity... and all the risks. I wish I could say I dove in like a pro, but what actually happened? I signed up for a bootcamp, followed instructions, and got liquidated before the course even ended.
Yep. The full-blown learning experience came early.
But here's the thing: While it wasn't as "easy" as some promised, it wasn't rocket science either. It just took a little understanding...
And definitely stop choosing platforms based on hype.
💭 I almost chose the wrong one (again)
After getting burned, I did what any stubborn perfectionist would do - I rebuilt.
Not just my account, but my approach. I asked better questions. I took my time. And eventually, I realised that choosing a platform isn't about picking the flashiest brand or the biggest bonus.
It's about knowing your non-negotiables.
🛠 The 3-point gut check I use now
These days, whether I'm testing a new broker, exploring crypto, or guiding others in my Trinity Wealth Method, I always check these three things:
1️⃣ Reputation.
Are people actually using this? For years? With good feedback?
2️⃣ Transparency.
If I can't find the fees or terms in 30 seconds, that's a red flag.
3️⃣ Support.
Especially if you're new, you need more than just an FAQ page. Can you get help when it matters?
🌐 Why global traders swear by this
If you're still browsing options and feel overwhelmed - I hear you.
One platform that often comes up in global trading circles is XM. While I don't push platforms, I do think they're a good case study: Long-standing credibility, beginner-friendly tools, and built-in educational support.
They've made it easier for many traders to start small, start safe, and grow.
And if you ask me? That's the only way to start.
🔐 Your trade, your terms
You don't need to be an expert before starting. You just need to be intentional. Skip the hype, do your checks, and trust your own rhythm.
And if you ever feel lost? Go back to your "why".
(For me, it was never about the money - it was about taking control.)
