9 days as a guest trader in Bali.
Back home here in New Zealand. Beautiful autumn day after spending 9 days in Bali at a trading retreat. It was a fantastic retreat and I want to share some information about that. I was invited over there as a guest trader and there were around 60 learning traders there and about 15 traders from around the world, of which I was one.
We were all there to help the people learn, but also to just offer our experience and our knowledge and to talk to each other and learn from each other. And it was a really, genuinely great event where people were just sharing information and ideas. And when people do that, you realize that obviously there’s more than 1 way to trade, and people have different ideas of how they view the market, and there’s no right way to trade.
There’s lots of wrong ways to trade. But by talking about this with other traders and just seeing their perspective, you know, we were all sharing ideas and all learning and it was massively valuable. And I gave several presentations over there.
15 traders trading live in front of an audience.
And the other thing that was so good about the retreat was the 15 traders. We were all trading for the 5 days, Monday through to Friday during the Asian session, the European session and the US session.
So there was nothing hidden. You know, when we saw trades, we identified the trades, we placed it, people could see them live. There was none of this, you know, TikTok, YouTube stuff where, you know, people are showing you, you know, the 1 trade out of 100 that works. We were all there together in real time, real markets. And, you know, with the pressure of doing that in front of all these traders and, you know, and the people learning as well. And so it was a fascinating experience to be there.
October 2027 is the next trading retreat date.
Now, on a side note, we are looking at getting more of our Forex Trading Coach clients to their next retreat, which is likely to be October 2027.
My big takeaway is the power of our trading community.
But the information that I got out of it when I shared what we do at The Forex Trading Coach and the bit that people really thought was so powerful is, of course, not just a strategy.
And by the way, we took some great trades. I had some, you know, some lovely trades across different markets and time frames live for that week. That was great. But the bit that people resonated with and people picked up on was the power of our community of traders. And I think that’s something that’s so underestimated. If you don’t trade properly and you don’t appreciate it.
You see, trading is a very lonely business. You’re sitting there at home or wherever you do your trading from. Most people don’t thoroughly understand what you do. They don’t really get it. And people say to me, are you trading shares or something? No, it’s completely different. But, you know, people just don’t get it and that’s fine. It’s not for everybody.
But the issue that I see that so many people out there face is they don’t have that communication and that way of contacting other people. And it’s 1 thing that the traders there at that retreat in Bali were so impressed with what we offer at The Forex Trading Coach, you know, with our forum site where we’ve got traders from right around the world, you know, from 111 countries over the last 17 years.
And by the way, it’s our 17th birthday this week right now. So we’re very proud of that as well. But you know, we are all there to help each other. No 1 dominates. No 1 takes over. Everybody is there to share trades to help each other, no matter where you live in the world. And I think that along with our live weekly webinars where we’re trading in front of our clients and people can ask questions and we talk about trades and shows that we’re really doing this and we’re real people and we’re genuinely there to help each other.
And so all our clients and, you know, we’re really careful not to have that bad apple, you know, that ruins it for everybody. That doesn’t happen. And it’s something we’ve been, you know, really proud of over those 17 years that we are there as a family and a community of traders, all trading the 1 strategy and helping each other.
As mentioned, if you’re new to trading, you probably won’t appreciate how big that really is. If you’ve been trading for any length of time and you’re stuck online on just generic forums and things like that, you’re going to realize that a real forum, real communication, real people taking real trades is an absolute, you know, it’s rare out there and it’s something that we pride ourselves on.

Blueberry Markets as a Forex Broker.
And if you’re out there looking for a really good forex broker that also offers other markets such as the cryptos, metals, commodities, indices, which we trade, all because the strategy works across all those markets and all time frames. It’s Blueberry Markets. They offer the MT5 platform. And of course that’s so much better with more markets and also more time frame charts. You know, I love trading, say like the 12 hour and the 8 hour and a 6 hour charts which are not readily available on most other platforms, not even MT4, although we do have software that allows our traders on MT4 to use those time frame charts with a clever bit of software that we’ve got. But the beauty of MT5 is it’s already built in, so you don’t have to worry about that.
Real people, community and communication.
So in summary, communication is key, having like minded people around you is key. Real people trading properly and doing well is key. It’s quite rare, but we offer that. If you’d like to find out more, contact me, Andrew@TheForexTradingCoach.com or like I said, jump on to my website.
Or better still, onto the short masterclass to find out more. I see you this time next week. Bye for now.
