[True Story] The reason I continued trading even after losing my entire fortune twice in FX
I lost my entire fortune twice.
The first time I thought, "I can still recover." The second time I thought, "It's over."
Still, I didn’t quit trading.
Now I live in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, making a living from FX. I’m spending what’s probably the most自由 time of my life.
In this article, I’ll honestly write how I recovered from two bankruptcies. It’s not a bragging tale. Most of it is embarrassing.
But if it can provide a hint to people who are struggling with trading now, I’d be happy.
First bankruptcy: "I’m winning, I’m the strongest"
When I started FX, at first I won thanks to beginner's luck.
"I might have talent."
I genuinely believed that. I increased the lot size. I increased it further. Every win inflated my ego, and I kept increasing.
As a result, in one sudden market move, everything vanished.
I still remember the feeling at that moment. The numbers on the screen were unbelievable, and I refreshed many times. But the numbers didn’t change.
The cause of the loss was clear. I increased the lot size too much because I was riding high. That’s all.
But I couldn’t admit that at the time. I thought, "The market was bad," "My luck was bad."
Hellish period: Nothing wins no matter what I do
After recovering from the first bankruptcy, I rebuilt my funds. This time I decided to be careful.
But I completely misunderstood what "being careful" meant.
What I did was,increase indicators.
Fibonacci, Bollinger Bands, MACD, RSI, Ichimoku. The screen became full of indicators. I believed that "more information leads to more accurate judgments."
I tried every method I had seen on YouTube. Try one method for 2–3 days, and if I lost, switch to the next method. It was what you’d call "method gypsy."
Looking back now, that period was the hardest.
Even though I was losing, I didn’t understand what was wrong. I was making an effort, but not getting results. Honestly, I even thought, "FX is a scam."
Second bankruptcy: I tried to recover and everything melted away
While funds were slowly shrinking, one day I took a big loss.
If only I had stayed calm then. But I couldn’t.
"I have to recover it."
Driven by this emotion, I suddenly increased the lot size.
The result goes without saying. My second total loss.
It was far tougher than the first bankruptcy. The self-loathing of "I did the same thing again." People around me, since I told them I was making money trading FX, I couldn’t seek advice from anyone.
I seriously considered quitting trading.
Turning point: "Throw everything away"
After the second bankruptcy, I stopped looking at charts for a while.
A few weeks later, when I was a little more calm, I thought:
"Everything I’ve built up until now might have been wrong."
Increasing indicators, trying every method, raising lots after losses—all of it was an attempt to solve things by addition.
But what was actually needed was subtraction.
I erased everything shown on the screen. Fibonacci, Bollinger Bands, MACD—all of it. I deleted them all, leaving only the moving average.
At first, I was anxious. Could I really trade with such a simple screen?
Yet, strangely,the chart became readable.
Things that hadn’t been visible before now became clear. "A trend is forming here," "There’s a bounce here," "Don’t enter here." With only the moving average, the market looked much clearer.
The moment the "template" was formed, trading changed
Once I narrowed to just the moving average, trading became a "task."
The hesitation disappeared. When opening the chart, you already know what to do.
My mindset stabilized. Even when I lost, I could think, "I followed the template and lost, so it’s fine." Conversely, when I deviated from the template and lost, I could honestly admit, "I was at fault."
The method didn’t change. My thinking changed.
The moment I shifted from "how to win" to "how not to lose," everything started to improve.
From factory work to moving to Vietnam
I originally worked in a factory.
After I started winning consistently through trading, I became a full-time trader via affiliate marketing and established a company.
I lived in Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia, for a year, and now I’m in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
A person who experienced two bankruptcies is living freely overseas.
By learning trading, I could choose where to live and how to spend my time.
I truly feel, "I’m glad I didn’t give up."
People who are undergoing the same change
After compiling a 12-year experience into a study guide, I began receiving success reports from purchasers.
A few are shown here.
Case 1: Weekly profit surpassing 100,000 yen
What changed for this person wasn’t that they "got better." They just stopped entering where they shouldn’t.
This is the same change I experienced. Reduce indicators, set a template, stop doing unnecessary things. That alone changes the results.
Case 2: 15% profit in 7 business days
Starting with a small amount and small lots, and over 7 business days the profit was +15%.
Careful, steady, and following the template—that’s how this number was achieved.
Case 3: Steady results in one month
Steadily building profit in one month. No extraordinary talent required. Learn the template and follow it.
What these people and I have in common
There’s something common between purchasers and me.
All of them saw results the moment they stopped "adding" and started "subtracting."
Don’t increase methods; decrease. Don’t increase indicators; erase. Don’t increase the number of trades; limit them.
It sounds simple, but actually doing it is difficult because humans think, "I must do more."
But if there is one correct template, that’s enough.
Final: Even after two bankruptcies, life can change
I lost all my money twice.
But I didn’t give up. To be precise, I couldn’t fully give up.
Trading has the power to change your life. I’ve proven it over 12 years with my own experience.
I want to tell those who are suffering now.
"If you don’t make mistakes with the method, you will surely win."
People like me don’t need to go the long way around.

Honestly, if you truly want to win, coaching is the only way. Reading a material and feeling like you understand it is not enough. The fastest way is to practice trading alongside someone until you can actually do it. If you’re unsure, you can start with the materials. But,if you don’t want to take the long route, go straight to coaching from the start.
