Let's talk about that and more, right now. Hey traders, it's Andrew Mitchem here, the owner of The Forex Trading Coach with video and podcast number 357. Now, I want to talk about the difference between the very few who are thriving, and the majority who are just surviving in the forex market. Paul Tillman was here in NZ last week But first, also want to update you regarding last week's video and podcast where I had Paul Tillman here with me in New Zealand. Now Paul works with me, he's based out of North Carolina in the States and he covers the American live webinars that we hold and also he helps run and moderate our forum site. But it was great to have Paul and his family here for 10 days with my family here in New Zealand and it just goes to show what can be done with trading. We carried on exactly as normal. Paul brought his laptop and things just continued as normal. Another one of those great benefits from trading. How we made profit from the Coronavirus news But also on that video and podcast, you'll remember, and if you've not seen it, go and watch it, that we talked about how we profited from the monthly charts by selling the Australian yen and the New Zealand yen at the beginning of February. Now, right now with early part of March and the coronavirus news and the threats and the story is going mad, not so much here in New Zealand, but globally. And the important thing is is that we saw the Japanese yen, particularly the yen strength, but also some strength in the franc and the US way back in at the end of January. And it just shows that if you can read the charts properly and you know what you're doing, how you can profit from that and become one of those thrivers. The stats show that only 5% make good money So we know the stats that you hear and see out there, that probably only around 5% of forex traders make good money. And we are one of those, in those groups, of the 5% and we're definitely thrivers because not only have we made good returns from this most recent news event and the strength of the yen and the weakness in the Aussie, the Kiwi and the Canadian especially. Not only is that something that we've done well from recently, but we've done well from all sorts of different events and market conditions for years and years now. I've been trading nearly 16 years, and over that time you kind of go through all the different conditions and news events and political events. Nothing really makes too much of a difference once you know what you're doing. The system and strategy works in all market conditions So when people say, "Oh, does your system work in this kind of market condition?" Well, yes, it works in all kinds of conditions because it's proven to have done that over those years. But the problem is, and we find this all the time from emails that we get from people who are struggling out there is unfortunately, 95% of the people are the survivors. And to be honest, most of those people end up giving up because it's just too hard. It's too difficult. It's not working for them. What do you need to do in order to become a thriving trader? So really, if you're one of those survivors and you're not a thriver,
