Thank you for sharing. Financial education is crucial today to show incredible resilience and discipline in the volatile market, masterfully balancing strategy and insight for success. This dedication to continuous learning is inspiring...managed to grow a nest egg of around 100k to a decent 432k in the space of a few months... I'm especially grateful to kelvin Hurdle, whose deep expertise and traditional trading acumen have been invaluable in this challenging, ever-evolving financial landscape.

“The extend of success is pure luck. Do not expect to be a statistical error, expect something good to happen.” This sentence is the most truth I heared in a long time.

[@chrislite9804]

This video is a gem. Probability is the soul of the trading game. Once you understand that probability is in your favor, it eliminates fear. The two strongest emotions i've had to deal with trading is Fear and Greed.

[@NeerajYadav-yl2kl]

Dealing with it now brother, this video helped me alot

[@udaybhankushwaha6721]

I am a trader and spend too much time to learn and try to find a very good strategy to be always right when I place a trade but i am wrong,and i know most of new people those who come in market they try to find a magical strategy to be always right. I just want to say that trading is like a game of probability. You have to stick with your strategy and plan for a long time then you get a meaningful results.

The best way to find that balance between saving and living is by investing. Starting early is the best way of getting ahead to build wealth and smart people will always try to harness any investment opportunity not minding the risks involved.

“Replace positivity with clarity and focus” wow 😮

[@angelmarinos3910]

Its funny how the speaker is so akward , so not likeable (he is not unlikeable or dislikeable, you get me tho) and talking about something so raw and superficial like trading, and yet he provided better subject material about depression, mindfullness, anxiety and success than any video I have seen in the past few years. His perspective and his overall speech ties a lot of things together, giving us a clear (not simple) way of approaching not only trading but also life in general. A most impressive TEDx talk.

[@Mcllwain]

A perfect storm is brewing in the United States. Inflation, bank collapse, severe drought in the agricultural belt, recession, food shortages, diesel fuel and heating oil shortages, baby formula shortages, available automobile shortages and prices, the price of living place. It's all coming together and it could lead to a real disaster towards the end of this year (or sooner). With inflation currently at about 6%, my primary concern is how to maximize my savings/retirement fund of about $300k which has been sitting duck since forever with zero to no gains.

[@carolynrose1816]

These are the conditions in which life-changing money is made by those who remain calm, patient, and take controlled risks. Volatility goes both ways. The bigger the red candles, the bigger the green ones.

[@kurttSchuster]

@@carolynrose1816 Investing in stocks can be a wise decision, especially if you have a dependable trading system that can lead to successful outcomes.

I really appreciate the dedication and perspective in each video you post For someone with less than $20,000 to invest, how would you recommend we enter the crypto market? Investing has proven so well to be beneficial but I am at studying some traders and copying their strategy rather than investing myself and losing money emotionally what's your take on this approach?

[@ashleywilliams7918]

The market is volatile at this time, hence i will suggest you get yourself a financial-advisor that can provide you with entry and exit points on the shares/ ETF you focus on

[@macbilly9467]

I agree. Based on personal experience working with an investment advisor, I currently have $885k in a well-diversified portfolio that has experienced exponential growth. It's not only about having money to invest in stocks, but you also need to be knowledgeable, persistent, and have strong hands to back it up.

Important concept to bear in mind on this lecture is.... Replace the word Positivity with Clarity and Hope with Focus.

[@swingtradingpsychology]

Spirituality intertwines with trading at this juncture. Only seasoned traders who have grappled with challenges truly grasp it. Novices continue searching in the wrong places for a miraculous strategy, a crucial step in their evolution. Hopefully, they comprehend this before emotions inflict irreparable damage on their lives. 🙏

I don’t win all the time but I have a good risk management system and I know exactly when to risk more because that’s the difference I get from other traders.

[@darkcircles3534]

TBH with my 1 year trading experience 😂, I would say the most important thing is to manage risk , if you have more of a loss than you can take I would say cut it. The stock market is a total gamble , we might look at charts and do some fundamental analysis but at the end of the day that’s all “PROBABILITY” . No one knows how the stock will play out . So the best way to be profitable is to manage your risk .
