My 7 Year Anniversary Teaching Forex!

Today marks a special occasion for me. It was 7 years ago today that I officially began teaching forex trading online. There’s some interesting lessons that I’ve learned since then…

My Start With Online Forex Trading

I got involved with online forex trading in 1997 when I got a letter in the mail explaining that for the first time ever it would be possible for average people to trade forex. Before 1997, only banks could do forex transactions. I was previously interested in stocks, so I started applying those ideas to forex.
I played around for a few years. I went to college & majored in math. I learned a lot about forex, but very little was published at the time.

4xtrend.com

On August 11th, 2003 I registered 4xtrend.com. I had already written a manual on how to trade forex a few months earlier simply called “Forex Education Manual.” The eBook was an instant hit. I sold about 100 copies the first month, and ended up selling over 10,000 copies of it before retiring it for more updated forex trading methods.
Back in 2003 there were very few websites teaching Forex. I was one of the original 3-5 sites that had any type of course teaching forex trading. Jared Martinez from MTI was one of the original forex trainers, but this cost around $2,000. Peter Bain from Forexmentor.com had been around for about a year when I got started. I was basically the third forex trainer online. I looked for others, there simply weren’t!

An Ugly Website

I didn’t know anything about web design, so I decided to make the website myself. Although this site got a daily scathing criticism for poor design, it sold HUNDREDS of copies of my forex trading manuals each month. Here’s a screenshot of what the website looked like:

Rapid Forex is Born

4xtrend.com looked like this for 2 years. On October 13th, 2005 I changed from 4xtrend.com to rapidforex.com. Since then, Rapid Forex has taught HUNDREDS Of THOUSANDS of people how to trade forex online. The Rapid Forex Supreme Trader Package sold THOUSANDS of trading packages for $597 each.

Online Forex Trading Legacy

Today there are THOUSANDS of online forex trading websites. You can easily get lost with all of them. I got into this industry at a great time. I’m proud of being one of the pioneers of online currency trading. Although it’s only been 7 years, it’s practically the entire history of forex trading online. It’s kind of like dog years, I’m a grandfather for online forex trading.

New Enthusiasm

I’m enjoying forex trading now more than ever. There was a time when I was burnt out from it due to bad business partnerships & naive attempts at managing a multi million dollar business. I’ve learned lot about trading in the past 7 years & I’ve got more wisdom to share now than ever before.
Many readers of this blog can remember 4xtrend.com. If you’re one of them, I thank you for hanging around since those days. If you’re new to this website, I look forward to sharing an even better next 7 years with you!
My new mission is for you to be able to Live the Fantasy Life of a Forex Trader, like I am now. Forex trading has changed my life forever. It brings me great joy to share it with you on this website
