To be honest, even though I have been trading for a long time and can show off a big trading experience, it was the first time here when I was trading bonds and it was interesting and unusual to trade these assets, you need to know a lot about monetary policies of central banks and follow the changes of interest rates to be able to earn moneay by trading bonds. I wanted top up a trading account and luckily ActivTrades offers a lot of popular payment methods through which everyone can transfer money, for instance, as a traders of old school I prefer transferring money with bank card, sometimes transactions are slower than usual, but at least money come at the same day when I’m making a deposit.

Man I wish I had known about these guys what I just started learning trading, it would be much easier to learn with the materials they provide. Webinars and weekly digests are a real deal, I had to learn through many different sources in my time...

I don't miss any webinar they hold, because even despite the fact that I have impressive experience at trading, I continue discovering new perspectives from which to look at chart, market analysis and so on. Yeah, I wish these webinars would be held more frequently, because sometimes they don't publish them within a month or so. Nevertheless, during this period I just trade on my own, do my own researchers and everything is cool.

I decided to check out their custom trading app - ActivTrader and what I want to share is that it is much better than the MT4. Before this, I was using only MT4 and couldn’t make proper charting like other traders I see online. I don’t know what software they use, but ActiveTrader is pretty close to what I have seen there. I can draw trendlines, support and resistance zones, and even can apply the Fibonacci indicator and it is way easier to do it on this app, rather than MT4.

It all started in the middle of the year 2021, there was a lockdown due to Covid, for the same reason I had free time. And since I had some extra money (something around 4 thousand bucks), I decided, why not try, I always wanted to trade. Chose ActivTrades because they were the most reputable from what I've read. I would not enter the free market without knowing anything about it. By that time, I had already read many good books about it. Such as: Edwin Lefevre, memoirs of a stock speculator; Eric L. Naiman, a small encyclopedia of a trader; Nassim Taleb, Incerto; Curtis Faith, the way of the turtles, etc. From these books, I realized that of course not everyone can earn with trading, but there are those who did it, and became millionaires. The same Nassim Taleb could do it, and I am no worse than him. That was the motivation with which I entered the market. Within 3 years, I can say that i'm nowhere near as smart as those writers, but I still managed to do O.K. here. I am not a millionaire yet, but I am trading in profit last 14 months, and am closing in on 5 figures (I have 20k as my goal), despite me being decently new in all of this, I feel. I just want to say "thank you!" for providing me with the environment where this could be possible.
