My name is Forest Brooks. I would like to welcome you to my site. I have tried a lot of things on the internet to make an extra income. Until now every one of them just cost me money. I had been looking at the Forex Market for some time and just wasn't sure if I could do it. Everywhere that I read about it, they stated that 90% of all new traders lost money. Well I can tell you from experience that it is true. I started an account back in 2006 and did pretty good for about 6 months. Then the market changed and I didn't have enough knowledge to adapt to it. Lost most of my $1000.00 account. I stopped trading for a while and just let the $200.00 that I had left just set in my account. I just couldn't get the courage up to start again. I have to work hard for my money and I couldn't just throw it to the wind.

About 2 months ago I was surfing the web and kept seeing thinks about the Forex again. The stock market was going crazy. My 401k at work was going down by about $5000.00 a day, gasoline had gone up to almost $4.00 a gallon, every time I went to the grocery store it cost more to get the same things and they where laying off people every day at my company that I had worked for 30 years.

I had hoped to retire at 55, and now at 53 years old I was beginning to think I was going to have to work until I was 72 or longer. Depressed, you can believe it. I knew I had to find something to make more money and find it quick. So I started doing my research again on the Forex Market. I decided that was what I wanted to do. I could work from home, have my weekend off, and make an income that I had only dreamed about.

I started learning everything I could find on the internet about the Forex market and how to trade. I started several demo accounts and practiced what I was learning. I still felt like I was not doing as well as I should be. Then I purchased several commercial EAs. None of them traded consistently. All I got was my email address on 500 lists of every Expert Advisor out there being sold. I even purchased several manual trading systems that where very expensive.

Well that was a big mistake. I spent a lot of money for training and they offered nothing that I hadn't found for free on the internet. So I kept searching and learning everything I could find for free only.

I decided that I would take everything that I had learned and develop my own system. After I had a system that showed a good, consistent profit, I decided to learn to program an Expert Advisor ( EA ).    You can find more info on the Forex page.
