Hey there, I go by the alias Smart Money K. My journey into the world of Forex trading started back in 2015, courtesy of a company called Prestige Options. I dipped my toes into binary trading, depositing a modest £250, only to watch it vanish within a week. Naturally, the company tried convincing me to throw in more cash, but I had already lost faith. So, I took matters into my own hands and decided to learn the ropes of trading myself.

Fast-forward to 2016, when I stumbled upon Baby Pips, which offered a free course for anyone looking to learn Forex trading from scratch. Their course, the School of Pipsology, is a deep dive into the world of Forex. While incredibly insightful, it demands a serious commitment of time and effort. It took me about 2 to 3 years to grind my way through the course while experimenting with their beginner-friendly Cowabunga trading system.

By early 2019, I finally felt ready to dip my toes into real trading with a small deposit of £50. Armed with what I thought were solid risk management skills, I entered the market… and promptly lost it all. Talk about a confidence crusher.

Then came 2020 and the onset of COVID. Trading took a backseat as the world turned upside down. A friend of mine introduced me to the world of Crypto, and although I was clueless, the charts looked familiar enough. I started trading crypto projects using the same support and resistance lines I’d been applying in Forex. My friend eventually advised me to just buy and hold, which turned out to be more profitable than actively trading the various crypto tokens. And just like that, I drifted away from Forex and dived headfirst into the crypto world.

But as the saying goes, what goes up must come down. In 2021, when the crypto prices dipped, I found myself back at square one, searching for another way to make money.

Throughout all of this, I was still holding down a full-time job, which had become fully remote thanks to COVID. This flexibility allowed me to rekindle my passion for trading, and I found myself gravitating back toward Forex.

This time, though, I was drawn to Smart Money Concepts (SMC). Unlike the traditional support and resistance strategies I had been using, SMC provided a deeper understanding of how the markets move.

I began consuming countless hours of content, including ICT’s videos on YouTube, to enhance my grasp of these concepts. Eventually, I started investing in various courses until I found a strategy that resonated with me. Through rigorous backtesting and forward-testing, I fine-tuned this strategy and finally began seeing consistent profits.

Now, I feel compelled to share what I’ve learned with others, especially those just beginning their Forex journey or those who have struggled to find profitability. That’s why I created Smart Money Pros, a platform where I share the insights and skills I have gained from Smart Money Concepts.
