I just received an email from a gentleman and thought of sharing this story.
Lowie spoke to me pertaining this guy’s interest in your FOREX INTENSIVE programme. He himself spent almost SGD11k for both the beginner ($4,888) and advance ($5,888) course from a so-called forex academy (that operates on MLM). After that, he (as a SGD2,000 monthly earner) had blown his account with their strategy and now accordingly to his words, he is “very skeptical of any forex course which advertise, advertise and advertise again and again”. The high hope he pinned on gained him nothing. After searching for so many course online, he realised that only Chris Lori and my course do not advertise much (think this is Chris) or do not even advertised (and this should be me).
That’s his story. I was in a dilemma state! On a business point of view, I wanted him to enroll into my programme. But as a trader myself, I (instead) emailed him the following advices having him to re-evaluate his options again:
- Yes, he should not give up forex trading since he already spent and invested so much money and time.
- But then, he should consider whether now is the right time to rush in again mainly because he may not have enough cashflow to take my programme and having the appropriate capital to trade the forex market.
- Next, based on what he mentioned in his email, his emotional state of mind may not be appropriate for trading right now.
- Trading should not be done under a ’rush rush’ environment.
For those of you who want to engage in forex trading, do consider all these factors.

Fully agree.
3 things must always be put into any endeavour:
1) Time
2) Effort
3) Money (Resources)
There is also this 10,000 hours rule about what it takes to be on top of anything (whether sports, business, investing, etc).
Cheers!
