Umar’s Trading Strategy
Key Lessons
[11:00] It doesn’t really make sense to trade so many pairs unless you’re on a very short timeframe.
[20:38] Once you do trade for a long enough period of time, it just becomes part of your lifestyle.
[26:28] When you focus on just one thing, and just only one thing, it really makes you aware about so much. Instead, if you’re focusing on, say, five pairs, for example.
[36:26] When you’re relying only and only on trading, and you’re not profitable, it takes a very big toll on your mental health, because then you’re pressurized to make money.
[36:36] Trading is something you cannot do under pressure.
[36:56] One of the biggest mistakes that I see all the young guys do, they’re dropping out of college, they’re dropping out leaving everything and getting into trading.
[37:12] Building an income source, which is going to pay you and continue to pay you whether you lose money in trading or not, is a very big help.
[38:12] As you’re building your income source, continue to educate yourself about trading, obviously, that is always going to be there completely.
[45:07] Start developing discipline in small, small things that you do.
[45:18] Once you learn how to be disciplined into just one specific thing of your life, then you can use that quality and you can apply it to trading as well.
