Around the fall of 2006, I came across DrForex. I found him in the Moneytec forums. As I recall, there was a long thread about BWILC going on at the time. Some people were knocking DrForex, others saying positive things about him, yet others trying to give away his hard work for free (BWILC eBook - "Steal it HERE for FREE")! As I read, I couldn't believe how people rush so quickly to condemn! However, if there is one thing that I have learned in life is that ENVY will bring out the worse in some people. So, I began to ignore the negative posts and started focusing on the positive aspects of DrForex's writings. This is when I began to inquire about the ebook and mentoring.
I eventually purchased the eBook, "Bird Watching in Lion Country". After reading it a couple times, I then began to demo with Oanda using the 4x1 strategy. I magically seemed to find patience, holding onto trades much longer, using lower leverage, etc. I was averaging 40+ pips every single time! I think there was one day that I actually lost money and it was due to distractions that took me away from my trading platform for several days. I even recall a day when I made 110 pips in only a few hours. Thats when I really became awestruck and began wanting more. Eventually, I decided to go with what my "gut" was telling me and I signed up for the one-on-one mentoring in April of 2007.
In closing, I have tried many systems that just didnt work for me until now. The 4x1 strategy appears to fit well with me and as I progress: I look forward to mastering it, making it my own and succeeding!
