I'm going to share with you a really interesting story. Let's get into it right now. Hey there. Traders! Andrew Mitchem here, the Forex Trading Coach for video and podcast number 513. Can you learn to trade from Social Media sites?  So can you learn the trade off social media sites, YouTube videos, all those type of places? Well, I've received an email from someone over in the UK just yesterday and he said to me that he has lost £15,000 trading live trying to learn how to trade by following people on YouTube. So I'm going to cover that one shortly. Why am I at the hangar today? Now, you might maybe wondering, why am I talking about this at the hanger here? So if you're watching this, you'll see I've got my helicopter behind me. The reason I want to talk about this and the helicopter is I've just come out of the hangar here. Let me just show you. I fly from the other side over there and the helicopter you fly from the right hand side. You know, I've just come here and I've just put the dual controls in here on the left hand side.

Very, very powerful helicopter. It's even got snow paws on down there so you can land in snow properly. However, I've not done it. The reason is it's clearly very, very dangerous. You have to know what to do. Like when you land on that snow. Are you going to sink? Are you on rocks? Am I going to get the skids here? Cool on rocks. Am I over a lake? I don't know. So there's a lot of skill. Is it icy? How have fresh the snow has off to the actual approach. Getting the blades up here, you know, whipping up the snow, creating really bad visibility, white outs, all those type of things. And obviously on mountains anyway, it's a lot more dangerous, you know, windy conditions. So I put duals in here and the two of us are off for a flight. So after nine years, I'm still seeking expert help because I want to go and do something quite, you know, a higher level, more dangerous, more risky. If I try it myself and look, legally, I can go and do that myself. I have a full license. I own the machine, it's fully insured. Everything else, I can go and do this, but I'm seeking professional help to show me fr...
