Interview with a 21-Year-Old Making $10,000 USD Per Month From DTLF Forex

Published: 20th May 2026

In today’s digital economy, stories of young investors building financial independence are becoming increasingly common. While some people spend years trying to master trading themselves, others are discovering the power of structured investment and professional fund management.

Today, we sit down with Félix Auger, a 21-year-old investor who joined Digital Trading Lab Fund (DTLF) just 8 months ago. Through DTLF’s Diamond Package, Félix says he now earns approximately $10,000 USD per month from his investment portfolio.

In this candid interview, Félix opens up about inheriting money from his late grandfather, dropping out of college, his painful experience trying to trade forex himself, and why he ultimately chose to invest with DTLF instead of trading alone.

Q&A With Félix Auger

Interviewer: Félix, thank you for joining us today. To begin, tell us a little about yourself.

Félix: Thank you for having me. I’m 21 years old, currently based between Canada and Dubai because of family travel. Most people are shocked when they hear my age because they assume investors making serious income are older professionals. But honestly, my journey started through curiosity online like many people in my generation.

Interviewer: You joined DTLF 8 months ago. How did you first hear about forex trading?

Félix: Through YouTube mainly. Around 2024, my feed became flooded with forex content—people trading gold, indices, currencies, all that. At first it looked exciting. The lifestyle marketing definitely catches your attention when you’re young.

So naturally I wanted to try it myself.

I opened a small trading account and started learning from videos, Discord groups, and Telegram signals. But reality hit very quickly. Trading emotionally is extremely difficult.

Interviewer: Did you actually trade yourself before investing with DTLF?

Félix: Yes, and honestly, it went badly.

I lost around $5,000 USD within one month trying to trade on my own. Looking back now, I realize I underestimated how psychologically demanding trading is. One day you’re confident, the next day panic sets in. I kept changing strategies, overleveraging, revenge trading after losses—it became stressful.

That experience humbled me very quickly.

That’s when I started thinking maybe I’m better off investing with professionals rather than trying to become a trader overnight.

Interviewer: One question many people will ask immediately is: how did a 21-year-old get $50,000 USD to invest?

Félix: That’s a fair question.

The funds actually came from my late grandfather. He passed away a few years ago and left part of his savings to me. At first I considered buying luxury things, expensive watches, cars, vacations—you know how young people think.

But eventually I realized something important: money disappears very quickly when it’s only used for lifestyle. I wanted to build something sustainable from it instead.

So rather than wasting the inheritance, I decided to invest it.

Interviewer: Are you currently in school or college?

Félix: No, I dropped out of college.

That was a difficult decision because there’s a lot of pressure from society and family expectations. But at the time, I felt disconnected from what I was studying. I became more interested in entrepreneurship, finance, and digital business models.

I’m not against education at all—I still study every day online—but I wanted a more practical path for myself.

Interviewer: Let’s talk about the actual investment. Which DTLF package are you using?

Félix: I’m in the Diamond Package.

That package involves a $50,000 USD investment, and the target performance is approximately 20% monthly, which in my case translates to around $10,000 USD per month.

When I first saw those numbers, even I was skeptical. But what convinced me was the structured explanation of risk management and how the system operates.

Interviewer: What was your biggest fear before joining DTLF?

Félix: Trust.

Online finance is full of scams, fake screenshots, and people pretending to be successful. So naturally I was cautious.

I spent weeks researching, asking questions, observing updates, and trying to understand how DTLF actually operated before I committed.

What made the difference for me was that the team didn’t pressure me emotionally. They explained things calmly and realistically.

Interviewer: How has life changed since you started earning from your investment?

Félix: The biggest change is peace of mind.

At 21, most people are stressed about survival, rent, or figuring life out. Having monthly investment income changes how you think. I’m not saying life becomes perfect overnight, but it gives you breathing room.

I can help family members, travel, reinvest, and think long-term instead of constantly panicking about money.

Interviewer: For people with smaller amounts, does DTLF offer lower entry packages?

Félix: Yes, definitely.

One thing I like is that not everyone has to start at Diamond level. DTLF has multiple investment packages depending on your capital level.

For example:

• Silver Package: Invest $2,000 USD and target around $400 USD monthly

• Gold Package: Invest $5,000 USD and target around $1,000 USD monthly

• Diamond Package: Invest $50,000 USD and target around $10,000 USD monthly

So people can start at different levels depending on their financial situation.

Interviewer: Some people will say these numbers sound too good to be true. What would you say to skeptics?

Félix: Honestly, skepticism is healthy.

I was skeptical too.

But I think people should separate emotional internet hype from actual structured investing. The markets themselves are real. Forex trading is real. The question is whether you’re dealing with serious people who understand risk and consistency.

My advice is simple: do your research, ask questions, and never invest emotionally.

Interviewer: Looking back, what was the biggest lesson you learned from your failed personal trading experience?

Félix: That trading and investing are two very different things.

Trading looks easy online until real money and emotions get involved. I realized I didn’t enjoy the stress of staring at charts every day.

Some people are excellent traders. But personally, I’m happier being an investor while experienced people handle execution.

That decision probably saved me from losing much more money.

Interviewer: Final question — where do you see yourself in the next few years?

Félix: I want to continue scaling responsibly.

Right now my focus is reinvestment, building additional income streams, and eventually entering real estate and tech businesses. I’m still young, so I think long-term matters more than quick luxury.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that capital should work for you—not just sit idle.

Final Thoughts

Félix’s story highlights a growing trend among young investors: moving away from emotional, self-directed trading and toward structured investment systems.

While every investment carries risk and results are never guaranteed, stories like this continue to attract attention because they reflect a broader shift in how younger generations view wealth creation.

Whether starting with the Silver, Gold, or Diamond package, Digital Trading Lab Fund continues to position itself as a platform focused on disciplined, system-based forex investment for modern investors worldwide.
