Week 12 – 2025: This week, as expected, a slightly lower result. During the days surrounding the interest rate decision in the US, I always reduce my risk slightly due to the significant market reactions. These could also present opportunities, but with an average growth of +5.75% in my accounts, I am more than satisfied. Moreover, the monthly average return this month is just very good, at +22.37% so far.

The reason I am emphasizing how pleased I am with these results is that there are quite a few claims circulating online about achieving financial independence through trading. First of all, it is not my goal to become financially independent. I trade because I enjoy it and it fits well with my job. Trading Forex is not the only thing I do in the financial markets. In addition to Forex, I trade crypto and am also an investor in stocks such as Shell, Coca-Cola, and Microsoft, which align with a larger and long-term goal.

Investing has been a hobby of mine since 2008. Entering the market right in the middle of the financial crisis was a challenge, but it also offered a great opportunity to step in at a low point. Since May 19th, 2024, I’ve also started getting into crypto. Maybe very late if you believe what everyone says, but I want to show that it’s never too late to get started.
