From Iraq to the USA

From Iraq to the USA

Author: ClayTrader May 13, 2024 Duration: 1:06:32
Can you imagine walking through literal mountains in the pitch dark at the age of 11? That's what our guest, Hussam (goes by "Sam"), endured as his family left Iraq back in the 1990's! Sam had to start at ground zero and build from there. Learn the language and culture and then become self sustainable. Sam has done exactly that and demonstrated an immense level of ambition and drive. With that being said, this is where Sam is now struggling as a trader. One of the cruel jokes the market plays on us is having the requirement that you need to be ambitious; however, at the same exact time, you can't be too ambitious of you'll have lots of issues. Sam held nothing back and walked us through his struggles and the issues that have been plaguing him. Thanks to his transparency, it opens the doors to many learning lessons for those of you who are beginners and offers up a reminder for all of us traders at all levels. Let's get to it!
