What’s the role of experience versus knowledge in understanding the markets?
According to Jimmy, experience refines knowledge. Traders can study market theory, but real understanding comes from first-hand experience on how the markets behave, including learning from mistakes. Consistent exposure, education, and staying informed on the markets can deepen a trader's understanding over time.
How does execution speed influence trading decisions?
Jimmy emphasizes that execution speed plays a crucial role, especially in volatile markets where opportunities come and go in seconds. Speed is not just about acting fast, it's also about having confidence that the platform will execute orders reliably, without delays or technical issues.
How should new traders approach trading?
Jimmy highlighted that one of the biggest misconceptions is that trading is easy or a quick path to wealth. In reality, trading is complex and ever-changing, requiring resilience, continuous learning, and discipline. When new traders accept that growth takes time, they can better navigate the challenges.
