Irfan Patel has been involved in the trading community for many years now, but it wasn’t until he found Online Trading Academy in 2007 that he started trading for himself.

Irfan has studied all asset classes, allowing him to accelerate his learning process and gain an understanding of how markets operate, but his preferred markets are Forex and Futures, particularly the EURUSD on an intraday and swing basis.

Trading has changed his life, and he credits Online Trading Academy with getting him where he wants to be. As an Online Trading Academy Instructor, he likes to keep it as simple as possible, teaching students to use supply and demand and price action along with strong risk management rules to generate consistent winning trades. His knowledge of the markets and his passion and enthusiasm are second to none. Most importantly, he has the ability to share this with his students and help guide them to become the traders they want to be.

"How do I tell you? It really helped me know how to trade what charts Says and ignore other things. Here is a Nifty trade that I took purely based on things that I learned from you in the Forex Trading India course. My friends (graduates from OTA) all said avoid it as we rallied so far, and also into possible weekly/daily SZ, and hence possible trend change. All I did is just checked daily chart. Uptrend. Marked DZ. Went into 60 mins. DZ marked and price came screaming down right as the market opened. I just kept on watching 60 min. DZ into 5 min. chart. Felt like possibly making double bottom. As you say, trading is anticipating. I just tried that and BINGO. Waited for almost 3 hours. Trust me, all this 3 hours were as good as 3 days. Constantly mind and heart advised to exit but I just kept saying to myself "LET THE MARKET PROVE ME WRONG." WOW! Like like like. It just rallied like a Rocket. The next day I read in the news that the market rallied due to positive support for retail FDI in Rajya Sabha (Parliament). I booked profit on 1 lot and have left other with SL C2C. Will trail as you do and try to let profit run as long as it can. I still have a long way to go to become consistent but really feel that I have now found right way that suits me to understand the market. I have also made some adjustments in my trading plan accordingly. Thanks again for what I got from your knowledge." Anil P., December 2012
