A little bit of education on Canada and USA trade:

1/ Canada is the largest export market for the U.S. and makes up one of the smallest trade deficits, owing largely to U.S. demand for energy-related products.

THREAD below, IMPORTANT to set the record straight:

Canada is America’s second largest trading partner, but number one export market: 2/ Trade in the auto sector is balanced between the 2 nations. While President Trump has mused that the U.S. could replace Canadian auto exports with its own domestic supply, the highly integrated North American supply chains is a major complicating factor.

I'm a full time stocks & options trader. 💹

To leave my previous gig was a slow transition that took me almost4 years 🙇‍♀️

I'm a self-made multi-millionaire 💸

Trading is my biggest source of income. 💰

Here're some biggest lessons I've learned on this journey👀

THREAD 🧵 1/ Managing risk is everything.

Your trading strategy and $$ profits are nothing without stop losses.

1 bad day/week in the market and you can wipe out the whole account.

I'm a self-made millionaire and a full-time trader.

If I was to make $100k+ in 2024 with trading, here's the basic 7 steps I would follow:

- thread 1/ Start your trading year with a clear plan. Do it now if you haven't yet.

Note down essential elements like your risk unit, account allocations, and daily wrap-up criteria (after 2 wins/losses).

Keep this plan on your desk as a constant reminder to stick to your strategy.

1/ I started my journey as a day trader and ended up losing money.

Then I started swing trading and I've been profitable since then.

What did I do: Fixed my trading style according to my personality.

Here's how I managed to do it:

THREAD 👇 2/ When I started trading, all I knew was day-trading.

I saw people on twitter and in discords making huge profits with scalping options and taking fast in and out trades.

I thought that's all there's so I kept trying.

And I sucked and struggled.

One of the most important things in making consistent profits in the market: Trading Psychology.

But most traders don't pay attention to it, & end up losing money.

Here're 8 trading psychology principles that will help you increase your profits & minimize your risks:

THREAD 🧵 1/ People don't like reality.

Doing deep work, looking at your weaknesses and understanding who you really are is scary.

But in trading it's important. You want to know who you are and how you think & react. Only then you can improve your flaws.

I graduated from one of the best Universities in the world & had one of the highest paying jobs.

But I left my $400k yearly gig to become a full-time trader and I never regret it!

Here’re 8 reasons why I took this bold step:

🧵 THREAD 👇 1/ Freedom is the most important to me.

I don’t want to wake up and work when they want me to, but when I feel like it.

When trading, I can pick trending days and make a bank.

On choppy or slow days, where I see no setups, I can choose to do something else.
