From the top down
Top-down technical analysis is a method of analyzing financial markets by starting with a broad view of the market, such as a monthly chart, and then drilling down to shorter time frames, such as weekly and daily charts. This approach allows traders to identify larger trends and patterns in the market, which can then be used to inform trades on shorter time frames. By starting with a monthly chart, traders can identify long-term trends and patterns that may not be visible on shorter time frames.
Life after trading?
While trading has been great and unbelievably profitable, Dapo considers himself more of a businessman than a trader. He was recently offered a job with a Middle Eastern hedge fund where he would be managing half a billion dollars. The verdict is still out on whether or not he’s going to accept that position. After taking some time off from trading at the beginning 2023, Dapo will continue to pursue his e-commerce and agro businesses. He’s been using the funds acquired over his decade of trading to build farms back in Nigeria. Dapo’s also getting into exporting things like fruit, sesame seeds and ginger. He believes it’s important to diversify as much as possible by having numerous revenue streams. Willis is creatively finding ways to have his money work for him, so that he can retire from full time trading in his early 30s.
