“On 1st of May 2020, I started an account with $30,000 and in 7 months it was over 7 million in profits. Some find it hard to believe. I don’t even believe it sometimes but I haven’t had a single losing day since around mid-April of 2020. Over 220 trading days in a row without ending the trading day with a loss.”
These are the words of Perry Matlock aka PJ. PJ founded Atlas Trading with few of his friends.
He is a Stock Trader who spends most of his days doing trading, managing the room, helping others learn and posting about stocks on his social media. If you think of the world’s largest Trading chat rooms then Atlas Trading is on top of the chart. This chat room is free and packed with the knowledge where he also posts his stock pictures. As this chat room is growing, many people ask PJ why is he giving away his knowledge for free. To which PJ replies that he has many ideas for paid services but he really wants to create a community for everyone.
PJ has a strong following on social media which is nearly about 283.5 k on Twitter and he has over 50K people involved in Atlas Trading. But still when you ask him about his popularity, he politely answers that he never thinks about his celebrity status and believes that making money alone is easy but making it with helping others is the real thing. He added that he gets lots of messages from people he never met saying thank you for helping them, and that puts a broad smile on his face and makes his day.
PJ says that everybody has to learn Trading, and instead of expecting the money right away, firstly learn what it takes to get better in Trading and the money will follow you.
PJ shares his own experience in trading, when he started out he didn’t have enough money to lose, and he also has the responsibility of his wife and a daughter. But he kept losing his money, he added a deposit and lost it too. Everybody tells him to quit, obviously, these things can break anyone economically and mentally. “One thing kept me going is knowing other people were making money trading, showing me it was possible to succeed,” says PJ. He added that, when every card is stacked against you but you keep going anyway, that’s what success is in his mind. It isn’t about how much you can win; it’s about how much you can lose and keep going. That tells us that if you stick to it and don’t give up is the only key to getting to the top.
