Episode notes
How A $1,600 Win Sparked Everything
- Tarique and his brother opened a Robinhood account with $2,000 and hit a lucky early winner that made them $1,600 together.
- That first winning trade convinced Tarique trading was possible and launched his learning spiral into markets.
Dropping Out To Treat Trading As School
- Tarique left Rutgers as a junior and spent months deciding to trade full time, then practiced heavily in a simulator.
- He treated trading like a new school, doing 10+ hours a day studying charts and recordings.
Start In A Simulator Before Going Live
- Use a simulator or cash account first to learn without PDT limits or real-money pressure.
- Practice until you can sustain consistent gains before increasing size in a live account.
