My name is Etienne Crete (from Montreal, Canada). I'm a swing Forex trader (who has the chance to travel the world anytime) and help aspiring Forex traders develop a trading method that works for them so they can produce income allowing them to live with more freedom.
You see, a lot of aspiring Forex traders lack the confidence to pursue their dreams. I'm there not only to help you develop your confidence but also to implement the tactics that are proven to give you results. You'll develop Forex trading discipline and the other skills you need in NO time!
Ultimately, you'll get to experience what a day in the life of a Forex trader truly looks like, but you'll also have to be consistent with your Forex weekly review!
I blog at www.desiretotrade.com and host the Desire To Trade Podcast. I was fed up with the “fake” millionaire traders and the “get-rich-quick-trading guys”. That's why you can expect more free content from me than what other people charge for!
