Thank you for visiting the Spartan Forex trader Academy!
My name is Nikos Mermigas and I am a full time trader, Capital Manager, the Spartan Trader FX school founder and author ofseveral eBook & workbooks, like : Master Trading – Simple & Effective. I was born and grew up in Germany. 1993, at age 21 I started to work as a musician and later on as music teacher. Yes I am that old but you know what they say: Age brings Reason!
As a Music teacher I spent many years travelling with my job and juggling my family life. I finally came to the realization that this was not the life I wanted and along with a close friend I searched out that perfect job that would give me back my life and freedom.
I had experimented with the Stock market and through my quest for something better I discovered that the Forex Market very nicely met my “Freedom” Criteria. I have to say it was love at first sight. But I am sure you probably know by now, falling in love is the easy part, working on the relationship can be the hardest thing you ever do!
Since I had made up my mind that this was going to be my future I was determined to master the Forex Market and although mastering it meant much sacrifice on my part I was determined to succeed.
Just like many of you I struggled through many books, courses, systems and coaches but did not achieve the mastery I knew would buy me back my freedom.
As I studied and practiced I took the information I thought useful, and started creating my own rules and subsequently my own trading system. It took me a while to perfect but I created rules and followed them with patience and discipline. Remember I was in love and we all know when you are in love patience is a very difficult virtue to summon. That being said my patience finally paid off, things started to turn in my favor. When I doubled my account I knew I had succeeded!
I believed in myself and my rules.
Looking back, I now see that trading is not hard to learn at all. It truly can be very easy.
We all have the tendency to complicate things without having a real reason to do so and that, in my opinion, is why so many people loose in the Forex market. Many people have asked me why I teach if I am successful at trading and the answer if very simple: I absolutely love trading but remember my profession is that of a teacher so it is inherently in my blood.
Some of my friends approached me to learn my system and eventually I created a site to help facilitate teaching them.
Before I knew it, word of my system started spreading like a grape vine and I had to start formalizing the training just to keep up with varying schedules and demand.
Without planning it, the school ( www.spartantraderfx.com ) was borne and so here we are and here you are. How it happened was unplanned but I am very happy it turned out this way as I have made many new friends and I get to do the two things I love doing, trading and teaching.
Have a great day
Nikos Mermigas
