FREE Trading Journal (stop paying for online journal) In today's episode, I'm joined by Rizwan, an eight-figure trader who started his journey at age 16 during the 2008 financial crisis with just $5,000. With no mentors and limited resources, he relied on Yahoo Finance and price data to build his skills, eventually growing his account to over $2 million. Today, we discussed his 16-year evolution from long-term stock holding to advanced options strategies and his high-risk approach to shorting volatile biotech and Chinese pump-and-dump stocks without traditional stop-losses. Check it out. Rizwan
