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.

Typically, part of the appeal is that you can trade CFD products with more leverage than you would get with on-exchange trading. Another benefit is that you can trade those products within the same trading account as Forex. So, you have your money working for you in one concentrated place. Resources & People Mentioned Grab your copy of the Complete Trading System This book teaches you how to build a trading system from the ground up and how to become profitable in the markets.Support the showGet your Roadmap: https://www.findbettertrades.com/replace-income https://caseystubbs.substack.com https://x.com/caseystubbs t.me/caseystubbstrading https://www.youtube.com/@FreedomIncomeOptionshttps://www.linkedin.com/in/caseystubbs/

Kasey Ingram was an unusual kid, who never gave the “I want to be a police officer or firefighter, when I grow up” answer.  Instead, Kasey wanted to be a stockbroker. Even as a young child, he preferred to look at stock graphs in the newspaper, over the cartoon section.Kasey opened an IRA account through his bank, at the age of 15 or so, but was shocked at the $5 trading fees, when he had very little to invest in the first place. Eventually, the Robinhood app became available, and access to free trades caused a huge shift. He used the proceeds from trading stocks to fund his first real estate purchase of a 3 bed, 2 bath home in Portland, Oregon, at the age of 22.  Kasey rented out two of the rooms to help cover the mortgage. He then bought his second house, only 11 months later, and rented out two or three rooms again, while renting the first home completely. In this episode of How To Trade It, Kasey and Casey discuss practical and simple principles that will bring financial freedom within reach.  You don’t want to miss it!Subscribe to How To Trade ItYou’ll want to listen to this episode, if you are interested in... [01:17] Learning to be responsible[07:11] Making trading an investment instead of a job[15:47] Investing in yourself[22:45] Pleasure vs. delayed gratification[27:56] Pursuing a mentorThe Cashflow QuadrantIf you are interested in achieving financial freedom, The CASHFLOW Quadrant is a must-read.  The simple graphic upon which this book is based, represents four different methods of revenue generation.  Each of these different methods comes with its own unique technical skill set, educational path, and personality for which it is best suited.  Consistency & disciplineIf you want financial freedom and to live as a financially responsible adult, you must embrace the ideas of consistency and discipline.  If you don’t, the result is irresponsible spending, debt, and poor financial practices that can quickly spiral out of control.  It won’t matter, if you make a million dollars, if you don’t have the discipline to spend that money wisely.   Resources & People Mentioned Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert T.
