From Wakanda to Wall Street: A Trader's Journey
This chapter offers an intimate look into the upbringing of a trader from Wakanda, Illinois, detailing their early life experiences and how these shaped their entry into the financial markets. The speaker discusses their initial lack of interest in trading despite family ties, their eventual immersion into the trading world, and the emotional challenges faced along the way. Emphasizing the significance of real trading experiences over paper trading, they share insights on risk management and the necessity of having 'skin in the game' for developing a robust trading strategy.
