In this episode, Darko interviews Simon, a music teacher who began his trading journey only four months ago after discovering our podcasts. What started as curiosity quickly turned into a deep commitment to learning forex, with the goal of creating more freedom, supporting his lifestyle, and helping those around him.

Simon talks about the hardest part of trading—discipline and trade management—and why applying knowledge is so much harder than just understanding it. He shares valuable lessons about patience, handling losses, and overcoming the fear of trading, while also reflecting on how important mentorship has been in his growth.

You’ll hear his insights on:

Why demo accounts don’t prepare you for the real emotions of trading
The surprising role of major news events in shaping the markets
Why patience is so difficult, yet essential
How losses can be perfect learning experiences
His advice for new traders on learning styles, expectations, and commitment

Simon’s story is a refreshing reminder that with the right mindset and honest coaching, even beginners can build the foundation for long-term trading success.
