Bob, I was struggling with trading and ready to give up on it. I had tried snake oil after snake oil services. Most of them with the get rich quickly promise. I spent thousands of dollars on various different iterations of the same theme. Just as I was about to pack it in, a random Google search in September of 2025 intrigued me. I had stumbled on this guy from Solomon Trading named Bob Beckett. He gave free YouTube lessons every day about trading futures. No heavy sales pitch, no get rich quick, just straight talk and how to be successful. After about a week or two I realized something deeper and equally important to me, his guiding light and mine were aligned, Family, Faith, Fidelity and Freedom. I struggled for a time absorbing a small percentage of his teachings, some things hit home right away, some took me time to interpret and digest. Initially, the toughest thing to get past was after he would put on a trade he would say, "I don't care if this doesn't win", he would add other things to it, but that's all I heard. I was a High School tennis coach for 20 years and that didn't resonate with me. I did care about losing, in fact I hated it. But when I put it into a similar mindset with words that made sense to me like "It just doesn't matter" things started to make sense. If you look at it as part of the journey and not a single obsession, "It just doesn't matter". I have purchased services from Solomon and plan to purchase more, the nice thing is that it is at my pace not some arbitrary deadline. Everyone absorbs knowledge differently, and that's important to me. At this point I sit with 4 funded Apex accounts, 1 funded Bulenox account, I had a funded TPT account but didn't pay attention to the rules, and blew it by trading into CPI news, but guess what, "It just doesn't matter". I have received 1 payout from Apex, soon to be more (fingers crossed). And I have a nice mix of evals I'm working on getting passed from the same 3 firms, just in case I do something stupid again.

2nd in 2 days!

Yeah!
