My name is Yasir Khan and I was born on Aug 28, 1985 in Pakistan. Since the very beginning, I went to The City School, one of the best schools of my country. As far as I remember, till the age of 15, I wanted to be an astronaut, because one of my uncles worked in NASA.
My name is Yasir Khan and I was born on Aug 28, 1985 in Pakistan. Since the very beginning, I went to The City School, one of the best schools of my country. As far as I remember, till the age of 15, I wanted to be an astronaut, because one of my uncles worked in NASA.
At that age, astronauts used to be the “cool” people, thus fueling my desire to become one too. Those years, I also had a major fascination with science, simply because my dad was a mechanical engineer and my mom was a medical doctor.
It was at the end of high school that I started getting more interested in business. Although I always used to always hear that “being an engineer or a doctor was THE thing to do”, through my biased research, I somehow figured that it was the “business people” who ended up making the most money. That was a big enough reason for me to switch my focus to business.
n 2003, I got admission in Lahore University of Management Sciences and started studying Economics. After a couple of semesters, I realized that economics wasn’t exactly business, that it just contained abstract ideas and the fact that there were 15 answers to the same question drove me crazy. I switched to Accounting and Finance soon.
Even though I used to get top grades in all my courses, something just did not click. Even Accounting and Finance did not interest me.
Through a change in circumstances in 2006, my family moved to Canada, giving me more venues to “explore” my options about what I wanted to do in life.
Coming to Canada:
Migrating to Canada was exciting since it was a big change for me. I was given admission at York University, Toronto, where I started studying Finance (again).
Even though Finance had then started to interest me, I wanted to be known for something different. For that reason, I started reading biographies of people who were successful in many other, more unconventional fields such as domainers, CPA network owners, website flippers, Adsense arbitrage-ers and Forex.
The Forex Craze:
I will be honest with you. Since the very start, I never liked the idea of “going to work”. Now, that does not mean I was lazy. I just never wanted to work for anyone else.
I learnt about Forex trading from a friend of mine. Listening to all the hype, I decided to give it a try.
“What was there to lose?”, I said?
I reasoned that if countless other people were making millions trading currency, I could get a small piece of that pie as well.
Turned out I was wrong.
I lost my first $500 in the first month but I did not quit. I thought “there just has to be a code out there for me to crack in order to make tons of money trading currencies!”.
A year later, after losing a grand total of $5,500 (which was a lot of money for me at that time), I came to the conclusion that there was no secret code to crack, that the market was more or less random, that the banks actually had a vested interest in making you lose money (so they turn up with a profit) and that the foreign-exchange market is one of the most efficient ways of burning through your hard-earned money.
