EP20 // How Austin Netzley “Retired” At 27 With One Trading System

Many people dream of quitting their jobs and trading for a living, but few are actually able to do it. Austin Netzley is one of those people and he was able to do it in a fairly short period of time. Even more impressive is how young he was when he accomplished this feat.

Although Austin does not trade Forex, I had to learn more about his amazing story. So I was happy when he agreed to sit down and talk to me about his experiences.

While he was working at his corporate job, he would trade stocks. Luckily he had a job that allowed him the flexibility to do so. But things weren't working out so well and he kept losing money.

So he finally decided that he needed to either stop trading or really figure it out. This interview will get into what he had to do to get over the hump.

It wasn't easy, but what he produced was a simple and elegant solution to the 9 to 5 grind. You might be surprised at how simple his method is.

But what is equally interesting is what he has decided after his trading success. You will be inspired by this interview because I sure was.

The best part is that Austin shares how you can get started down a similar path.
