A Journey from Beginner to Professional Trader

Chapter 1: Introduction to the Financial Markets

Topic 1: What is Forex Trading?

Forex, short for "Foreign Exchange," is the global marketplace where currencies are bought and sold. It’s the
biggest and most liquid financial market in the world, with over $7 trillion traded daily. But for me, Al-
Arabi, it wasn’t just about numbers. It was about freedom. It was about control over my time, my income,
and my future.

When I first heard about Forex, I didn’t even understand what a currency pair was. I just heard people say,
“Buy low, sell high.” But let me tell you—Forex is far more than that. It's about predicting how the value of
one currency will move against another. For example, if you buy EUR/USD, you’re buying the euro and
selling the dollar. If the euro gains strength, you make a profit. If it falls, you lose.
But here’s what most people don’t realize: Forex trading is not gambling. It's a skill. A profession. And like
every profession, it demands discipline, education, and patience.
As Johnny, I say this: If you understand the heartbeat of the market, it’ll whisper secrets to you. But if you
rush it, it’ll swallow you whole.

Topic 2: History of Forex and Market Evolution

Long before computers and mobile phones, currency exchange existed through trade routes. Gold, silver,
spices—these were early currencies. But modern Forex began in 1971 when the Bretton Woods system
collapsed, allowing currencies to float freely against one another.
Fast-forward to the 90s: Banks dominated the market. Only institutions with millions of dollars could trade.
Then came online trading platforms. Suddenly, everyday people like me—like you—could open an account
and participate.
The game changed. Power shifted.
When I, Al-Arabi, discovered this, I knew I had to learn everything. I wasn’t just trading money; I was
stepping into a history that shaped empires and destroyed nations. Currencies are political. Emotional.
Strategic. Forex isn’t just financial—it’s psychological warfare on a global scale.
Topic 3: Market Participants and Their Roles

Who are the players in this massive game? It’s not just you and me.
1. Central Banks: They’re the big guns. When they raise interest rates, their currency gains strength. When
they print money, value drops. Watch their every move.
2. Commercial Banks: They handle massive transactions daily. They influence liquidity.
3. Hedge Funds: Aggressive, strategic, and well-funded. They love volatility.
4. Corporations: Businesses exchange currencies for imports, exports, and expansions.
5. Retail Traders: That’s us. Small, fast, hungry. But don’t underestimate us. A sharp retail trader can
outsmart even the big players.
When I realized who I was up against, I didn’t feel small. I felt challenged. And challenges make legends.
Topic 4: Understanding Currency Pairs

Currencies are always traded in pairs. Why? Because you’re comparing the value of one against another.
For example:
EUR/USD = 1.1200 means 1 euro equals 1.12 US dollars.
The first currency is the base. The second is the quote.
So if you believe the euro will rise, you buy. If you believe it’ll fall, you sell.
There are 3 types of currency pairs:
Major pairs (e.g., EUR/USD, GBP/USD)
Minor pairs (e.g., EUR/GBP, CAD/JPY)
Exotic pairs (e.g., USD/TRY, EUR/ZAR)
When I started, I made the mistake of trading exotic pairs without understanding their wild behavior. The
spreads were huge, and the moves unpredictable. Lesson learned: Start with majors. Master the basics before
you chase the chaos.
Topic 5: How the Forex Market Operates

Unlike the stock market, Forex is decentralized. There’s no single physical location. It runs 24 hours a day,
five days a week. That’s right—money never sleeps.
The market moves through:
London Session (the most volatile)
New York Session (big news and volume)
Asian Session (slow and steady)
This is why I, Al-Arabi, would sometimes trade at dawn or midnight. Because opportunity doesn’t knock
during business hours—it knocks when you’re awake and ready.
Trading happens over-the-counter (OTC), meaning brokers connect traders via electronic networks. Prices
fluctuate based on supply and demand, economic news, and geopolitical events.
Topic 6: Comparing Forex with Stocks and Crypto

Al-Arabi's advice? Start with Forex. It's mature, liquid, and predictable compared to crypto's chaos and stock
market’s slow tempo.
Topic 7: Importance of Liquidity and Volatility

Liquidity means how easily you can buy or sell a currency without affecting its price. More liquidity =
smoother trades. The Forex market is the most liquid in the world. That’s your advantage.
Volatility means how fast and how far prices move. High volatility brings opportunity—but also risk. Learn
to love volatility, but respect it. Like fire, it can warm you or burn you.
One night, I placed a trade during high volatility without a stop-loss. I slept. Woke up. My account was
nearly empty. That was the night I learned this rule:
Volatility without risk management is suicide.
Topic 8: Trading Sessions and Time Zones

The Forex market has three main sessions:

1. Asian Session (Tokyo) – Low volume, slow movement.
2. European Session (London) – High volume, big trends.
3. American Session (New York) – High news impact, sharp moves.
Overlap hours (London + New York) are explosive. That’s when I, Al-Arabi, made most of my profits. But
also, when I suffered my worst losses.
Know your session. Trade your strength. Respect the clock.
Topic 9: Major, Minor, and Exotic Pairs

Let’s break this down:

Major Pairs: Most traded. Tight spreads. Best for beginners.
EUR/USD
GBP/USD
USD/JPY
Minor Pairs: Crosses without USD. Slightly wider spreads.
EUR/GBP
AUD/NZD
Exotic Pairs: Involve emerging markets. High risk, high reward.
USD/TRY
EUR/SEK
Don’t be tempted by exotic pairs early on. Stick with majors until you can read the market like a novel. Then
and only then, venture into the jungle.
Topic 10: Real-Life Story – My First Encounter with Forex

I remember it like yesterday. A dusty internet café. The sound of generators. A young Al-Arabi scrolling
through YouTube when a thumbnail caught my eye:
“Make $500 a day with Forex.”
I clicked. I watched. I got hooke
But I didn’t jump in immediately. I studied. I read. I practiced. And then I lost. Again and again. I blew my
first $100 account in 3 days
But I didn’t stop
Because deep inside, I knew—I wasn’t chasing riches. I was chasing mastery. Control. Freedom. Legacy.
And that’s what this book is about. Not just learning to trade—but becoming a trader. A real one.

Chapter 2: Trading Platforms and Tools

Topic 1: Choosing the Right Broker

Before you even think about pressing “Buy” or “Sell,” you need a home—a broker.
A Forex broker is your gateway to the market. They give you access to the currency pairs, handle your
orders, and manage your account. But not all brokers are equal.
Here’s what you need to look for:
1. Regulation – Is the broker licensed by a respected authority (like FCA, ASIC, or CySEC)? If not, run.
2. Spreads & Commissions – Lower is better. Tight spreads mean you keep more profit.
3. Execution Speed – Every second counts. Fast execution saves your trade.
4. Deposit & Withdrawal Methods – Can you deposit easily from your country? Can you withdraw without
drama?
5. Customer Support – When your money is involved, you need answers fast.
Al-Arabi’s Advice:
My first broker scammed me. They manipulated my trades, delayed my withdrawals, and then vanished.
Since then, I learned to research, test demo accounts, read reviews, and only go live after full confidence.
Choose wisely. A bad broker can destroy a great strategy.
Topic 2: MetaTrader 4 vs MetaTrader 5

The two biggest platforms in Forex trading are MetaTrader 4 (MT4) and MetaTrader 5 (MT5). Here’s a
quick breakdown
Al-Arabi’s Opinion:
I started with MT4. It’s simple, stable, and powerful. Today, I use MT5 for more advanced tools and
smoother execution. But don’t overthink it—pick one and master it. The platform is just the vehicle; you are
the driver.

Topic 3: Introduction to TradingView and Charting Tools

While MT4 and MT5 are great for placing trades, TradingView is king when it comes to charting.
It’s a web-based platform with:
Clean, smooth charts
Powerful drawing tools
Dozens of indicators
Community-shared strategies
Backtesting features
I, Al-Arabi, use TradingView daily—even just to analyze, before opening positions elsewhere. The clarity it
gives me is unmatched.
Johnny’s tip: Learn to draw on charts like an artist. Your lines will tell you where the market will breathe
next.
Topic 4: Understanding Spreads, Pips, and Lots
Now we get technical.
Pip: A "Point in Percentage" – the smallest price change a currency can make. Usually the 4th decimal.
EUR/USD from 1.1000 to 1.1001 = 1 pip
Spread: The difference between the buying (ask) and selling (bid) price.
Tighter spread = better entry
Lot: The trade size.
1 Standard Lot = 100,000 units
1 Mini Lot = 10,000 units
1 Micro Lot = 1,000 units
Al-Arabi’s Lesson:
Don’t rush into standard lots. Start small. Protect your account. I once opened 3 standard lots with a $200
balance… you can imagine the result.
Topic 5: Leverage and Margin Explained
Leverage lets you control a large trade with a small amount of money.
1:100 leverage means you can control $10,000 with just $100.
Sounds good? Yes. But also dangerous
Margin is what you need to maintain your position. If you don’t have enough, your trade gets liquidated.

Think of it like this:

Leverage is a sword.
Margin is your armor.
Johnny’s Wisdom:
Use leverage wisely. It magnifies both your profits and your losses. Start low. Trade like your capital is a
lion’s cub—precious and fragile.
Topic 6: Order Types – Market, Limit, and Stop
There are different ways to enter or exit a trade:
Market Order: Buy/Sell now at the current price.
Limit Order: Buy/Sell later when the price reaches a better level.
Stop Order: Enter when price breaks a certain level—good for breakouts.
Stop Loss (SL): Protects your account by closing a bad trade early.
Take Profit (TP): Closes your trade when your target is hit.
I, Al-Arabi, never trade without SL and TP. Why? Because the market is ruthless. A missed stop-loss once
wiped half my account in 15 minutes. Never again.
Topic 7: Setting Up Your Trading Workspace
You need a clean, focused environment.
Al-Arabi’s Setup Includes:
Dual screens: One for charts, one for news and calendar
MetaTrader + TradingView open
Forex Factory or MyFxBook for news
Journal and notebook beside me
Phone off. Mind sharp.
Don’t trade in chaos. Your environment reflects your outcomes.
Topic 8: How to Read a Trading Dashboard
Your trading platform will show:
Balance: Your current account balance
Equity: Balance + open trade profits/losses
Free Margin: What you can still use
Margin Level: Health of your account
If your Margin Level drops below 100%, you’re in danger. If it hits 50% or less, trades may auto-close.

Al-Arabi’s reminder: Always watch quity and margin level like a pilot watches fuel. You might be flying
smoothly—but if your tank is empty, it’s game over.
Topic 9: The Role of VPS in Forex Trading
A Virtual Private Server (VPS) is like a cloud computer that keeps your trading platform running 24/7—
even when your laptop is off.
Why use it?
Stability: Trades don’t disconnect due to power outages
Speed: Faster execution
Perfect for: Expert Advisors (EAs) and automation
When I moved to VPS, my slippage reduced and my trades became more consistent—especially during
news spikes.
Topic 10: My First Trade – Lessons from a Beginner’s Mistake
It was EUR/USD.
It was midnight.
I had no plan. Just excitement.
I pressed “Buy.”
Watched the candle fall.
Panicked.
Closed the trade.
Lost $8.50.
Doesn’t sound like much. But it felt like I lost $8,000. Why? Because I realized:
Emotion had driven me. Not logic.
From that day, I told myself:
> “Al-Arabi, you will never trade based on hope again. Only skill.”

Chapter 3: Technical Analysis Basics

Topic 1: What is Technical Analysis?

Technical analysis is the art and science of reading charts—nothing more, nothing less.
While fundamental analysis focuses on economic news and reports, technical analysis looks at past price
movements to predict the future.
You study:
Price charts
Candlestick patterns
Indicator
Support and resistanc
Al-Arabi’s view?
“Technical analysis is like studying the heartbeat of the market. You don’t need to know why it moves. You
just need to know when it wants to move—and where it might go.”
Topic 2: Candlestick Charts Explained
Forget line charts. Candlesticks are the real language of traders.
A candlestick shows:
Open price
Close price
High and low
Timeframe (1 min, 15 min, 1 hour, daily, etc.)
Each candle tells a story:
Bullish Candle (usually green): Price closed higher than it opened
Bearish Candle (usually red): Price closed lower than it opened
Example:
Long wick on top = rejection from the upside (sellers pushed price down)
Long wick on bottom = rejection from the downside (buyers stepped in)
Johnny’s tip? “Candles don’t lie. They show fear, greed, and decisions being made by billions of dollars.
Topic 3: Support and Resistance Zones
These are key areas on the chart where price tends to react.

Support: A floor—price bounces up from it.

Resistance: A ceiling—price drops from it
Why do they work? Because traders remember those levels. They place buy/sell orders there. It’s
psychological.
Al-Arabi’s advice:
Mark your leels cleanly. Don’t crowd the chart. The best trades often happen around these zones—
especially if price hits them and shows a strong reaction
Topic 4: Trendlines and Channels
Markets move in trends:
Uptrend: Higher highs and higher low
Downtrend: Lower highs and lower low
Sideways: No clear direction
A trendline connects swing highs or lows. It shows the path of price.
Channels are like two trendlines—one above and one below—forming a price range.

Use trendlines to:

Spot direction
Find entry and exit points
Avoid trading against the market’s momentu
I, Al-Arabi, learned that fighting the trend is like swimming against a river. You’ll get tired—and
eventually, swept away.

Topic 5: Moving Averages (MA)

A moving average smooths out price data and helps you identify direction.
Types
Simple MA (SMA): Average price over a certain perio
Exponential MA (EMA): Gives more weight to recent prices
Popular settings:
50 EMA – Mid-term trend
200 EMA – Long-term trend

Example:
If price is above 50 EMA and 200 EMA, the trend is bullish. If it’s below, the trend is bearish.
Johnny’s gem: Use EMA crossovers. When the 50 crosses above the 200, it's a golden signal (Golden
Cross). Reverse it and it’s a Death Cross.
Topic 6: Relative Strength Index (RSI)
RSI is a momentum oscillator—it tells you whether a pair is overbought or oversold.
RSI above 70 = overbought (potential sell)
RSI below 30 = oversold (potential buy)
But don’t trade RSI blindly. Always combine it with support/resistance or a trend
Al-Arabi’s trick:
RSI divergence. If price makes a new high, but RSI makes a lower high—that’s a warning. Price might
reverse soon.
Topic 7: MACD – Moving Average Convergence Divergence
MACD is a powerful trend-following indicator.
It consists of:
MACD line
Signal line
Histogram
Buy Signal: MACD crosses above signal line
Sell Signal: MACD crosses below signal line
Also watch for MACD divergence—it’s a great clue that momentum is shifting.

Johnny calls it the “market whisperer.” It doesn't scream, it hints.

Topic 8: Bollinger Bands
Bollinger Bands help you see volatility and potential reversals
They consist of:
A middle line (20-period SMA)
An upper band (+2 standard deviations)
A lower band (–2 standard deviations)
When price touches the upper band: possible sell zone
When price touches the lower band: possible buy zone
Bollinger Squeeze: When bands tighten, it means a breakout is near.

I, Al-Arabi, use Bollinger Bands during calm market hours to prepare for big breakouts.
Topic 9: Chart Patterns – Flags, Triangles, and Head & Shoulders
Patterns are price behavior in repeatable forms.

Key patterns:
Flags: Small consolidations after a big move. Signal continuation.
Triangles: Price squeezes into a corner—ready to break out.
Head & Shoulders: Reversal pattern. Signals a major trend shift.
Al-Arabi’s Journal Entry:
“My biggest 300-pip win came from a head and shoulders on GBP/USD. I waited, confirmed the neckline,
set my stop, and trusted the pattern. It dropped like a rock.”
Learn the patterns, then wait for them. Don’t force them. The market reveals itself to the patient.
Topic 10: Combining Indicators for Confirmation
One indicator alone can deceive. But when multiple tools say the same thing, the signal is stronger.
Example strategy:
Use trendlines for direction
Use EMA to ride the trend
Use RSI to find entrie
Use MACD for momentum confirmation
Johnny’s Law:
“Never trust one voice. Let the whole choir sing before you move.”
The goal isn’t to use more indicators. It’s to use a few—masterfully.

Chapter 4: Price Action Maste

Topic 1: What is Price Action Trading?
Price action means trading directly from the chart—using only price movements, no indicators.
It’s about reading:
Candlestick behavior
Key levels
Market structure
Reaction zones
Al-Arabi’s Philosophy:
“If you can’t trade naked charts, you’re not in control. You’re depending on tools, not skill.”
Price action helps you:
Spot real-time decisions
Enter with precision
Exit with confidence
The market speaks through price. Learn the language, and you'll hear everything.

Topic 2: The Anatomy of a Candle

Each candlestick tells a deeper story.
Let’s break it down
Open: Where the candle starts
Close: Where it ends
High/Low: The full range of price
Body: Distance between open and close
Wicks: Show rejection or exhaustion
Strong Bullish Candle:
Large green body
Small or no upper wick
Buyers dominated
Strong Bearish Candle:
Large red body
Small or no lower wick
Sellers controlled
Rejection Candle (Pin Bar):

Long wick, small body

Shows price was rejected at a level
Often signals reversal
Johnny whispers:
“Look at how the candle was formed—not just how it ended. That’s where the power lies.”

Topic 3: Pin Bars, Engulfing, and Doji Candles

These are the kings of price action.

1. Pin Bar
Long wick + small body
Signals reversal
Location is everything (support/resistance = strong)
2. Engulfing Candle
One candle fully covers the previous candle’s body
Bullish engulfing = strong buying pressure
Bearish engulfing = strong selling pressure
3. Doji
Open and close nearly the same
Signals indecision
Follow-up candle decides the direction
Al-Arabi’s Setup:
“I trade engulfing candles at strong support zones. I wait for the confirmation candle. When it breaks the
previous high, I enter.”
Never rush. One perfect engulfing candle at the right level can give you 200 pips. Discipline first—profit
later.
Topic 4: Price Rejection and Fakeouts
Fakeouts are traps.
The market pretends to break a level, only to reverse and punish late traders.
Spotting a Fakeout:
Quick break of support/resistance
Weak follow-through
Immediate reversal candle (like pin bar
What causes fakeouts?
Market makers collecting stop-losses
Liquidity grabs before the real mov
Al-Arabi’s Golden Rule:
“If a breakout candle doesn’t close beyond the level with strength, don’t trust it.”
Johnny adds:
“The market is a magician. Don’t fall for the first trick
Topic 5: Price Action Around Support and Resistance
Support and resistance are the battlefields of price action.
You’re looking for:
Rejections (wicks)
Engulfing candles
Break-and-retest setups
Classic Play:
1. Price hits resistance
2. Forms bearish engulfing
3. You enter on the next candl
4. Stop loss above the high
5. Target = next support
Location + Candle Confirmation = High-Probability Trad
Never trade in the middle of nowhere. Price is strongest when it reacts at a historical level.

Topic 6: Trading Breakouts and Retests

Breakouts are explosive—if real.

Safe breakout strategy:

1. Wait for breakout candle to close
2. Wait for price to come back and retest the level
3. Enter after a rejection candle at the retest
Why retest? It confirms the breakout is real, not a fakeout.
Al-Arabi’s Tip:
On gold (XAU/USD), breakouts often come with heavy wicks. I only trust a breakout when the body closes
past the level.

Topic 7: Market Structure – Higher Highs and Lower Lows

Market structure is the skeleton of price.

In an uptrend:
Price forms higher highs (HH)
Then higher lows (HL)
In a downtrend:
Price forms lower lows (LL)
Then lower highs (LH)
How to trade it:
Enter on pullbacks to HL in uptrend
Enter on retrace to LH in downtren
This is how professional traders align their trades with the market flow
Johnny’s Rule:
“Structure first, entries later. Don’t go against the tide.
Topic 8: Price Compression and Explosions
Sometimes price moves slowly, forming tight ranges. That’s compression.
The tighter the range, the bigger the breakout.
Signs of compression:
Smaller candle
Lower highs and higher lows (triangle shape)
Volatility drop
Strategy
Draw triangle or channel
Wait for breakout candle with volum
Trade the direction of the breakout
Al-Arabi’s Journal:
“I caught a 400-pip GBP/JPY explosion from a tight 4-hour wedge. I waited 3 days. One candle paid me
back double.”
Patience pays. Always
Topic 9: Liquidity Zones and Smart Money Moves
Smart money doesn’t chase price. It creates traps.
Liquidity zones are areas with lots of stop-loss orders:
Above recent highs
Below recent lows
Big players drive price into those zones, grab orders, then reverse
Your job?
Follow smart money, not retail emotions.
How:
Watch for aggressive spikes into liquidit
Look for reversal candles afterward
Enter on confirmation
Johnny calls this “trading the footprints of giants.”
Topic 10: Al-Arabi’s Pure Price Action Strategy

Let’s tie it all together.

Timeframe: 1H or 4H
Setup: Engulfing candle at support/resistance
Steps:
1. Identify key zone
2. Wait for price to reach and react
3. Confirm with engulfing or pin ba
4. Enter on next candle
5. SL = below/above signal candle
6. TP = 2x SL or next major level
Example:
USD/CHF approached 0.9000. Bearish pin bar formed. I entered short. TP hit within 5 hours: +120 pips.
No indicator. No confusion. Just pure price and clean discipline.

Chapter 5: Fundamental Analysis and News

Tradin
Topic 1: What is Fundamental Analysis

Fundamental analysis is the study of economic, political, and social events that affect currency strength.
Unlike technical analysis (which looks at charts), this method analyzes:
Central bank decision
Economic indicator
Political instability
Inflation, unemployment, interest rates
Al-Arabi’s Reflection:
“I once ignored a rate decision and lost a full week’s profit in five minutes. That day, I learned: the market
doesn’t care if you’re not ready. It moves—with or without you.
Topic 2: Major Economic Indicators That Move the Market
Here are the top events to watch:
1. Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) – U.S. jobs report, released monthly
Huge USD mover
More jobs = strong economy = USD bullish
2. Interest Rate Decisions – From central banks (like the Fed or ECB)
Rate hike = currency bullish
Rate cut = currency bearish
3. CPI (Inflation Data) – Measures cost of goods
High inflation = rate hike expectations = bullish
4. GDP Reports – Overall economic growth
Positive GDP = strong economy = bullish currency
5. Unemployment Rate
High unemployment = weak economy
Johnny’s tip:
“Watch the calendar like a hawk. One overlooked news spike can ruin your setup.”
Topic 3: Understanding Central Banks and Interest Rates
Central banks (like the Federal Reserve, European Central Bank, or Bank of Japan) control a country’s
monetary policy.
Their main tool? Interest rates.
Hike rates to control inflation
Cut rates to stimulate growth
When a bank hikes rates:
Currency becomes more attractive
Investors seek higher returns
Demand rises
Al-Arabi’s Example:
When the Fed raised rates in 2023, the USD/JPY shot up 800 pips in 2 weeks. I caught 250 pips using
nothing but a clean support zone and an understanding of the rate decision
Topic 4: The Impact of Inflation, Employment, and Growth Data
Inflation is the silent killer of currencies.
Controlled inflation = good
Too high = dangerous
Too low = stagnant econoy
Employment Reports show consumer health. If more people work, more money flows.
GDP shows the nation's financial pulse.
As a trader:
Compare actual data vs. forecast
Big surprises = big movements
Johnny says:
“Markets don’t move just on numbers—they move on surprises.”
Topic 5: The Forex News Calendar – How to Read and Use It
Sites like ForexFactory, MyFxBook, and Investing.com have economic calendars.
Here’s how to use it:
Red = High impact
Orange = Medium
Yellow = Low
Look at:
Time of release
Previous data
Forecast
Actual when released
Strategy:
Avoid trading 15–30 minutes before and after major red news—unless you're specifically trading the news.
Al-Arabi’s Journal:
I once entered EUR/USD 10 minutes before NFP. News hit, spreads exploded, slippage happened, and my
SL hit 30 pips higher than planned. Lesson learned: News respects no one.

Topic 6: Trading News – Spikes, Volatility, and Whipsaws

News trading is risky—but powerful.
How it moves:
Price spikes instantly
Spread widens
Slippage increases
Direction may reverse quickly
Safe approach:
Wait for news to settle
Enter on the second move (reaction after initial chaos)
Aggressive approach:
Enter with small lots during releas
Use wide stops
Manage risk tightl
Johnny’s strategy:
“I wait 15 mins after NFP. If price forms a strong engulfing candle on M15, I trade the continuation.”

Topic 7: Geopolitical Events and Their Effects on Currencies

The world affects the market:
Wars and conflict = Safe-haven buying (gold, JPY, CHF)
Elections = Uncertainty
Brexit, Trade wars = Wild volatility
Safe-haven rule:
During fear, investors run to USD, JPY, CHF, and GOLD
During optimism, money flows to riskier currencies (AUD, NZD, emerging markets)
Al-Arabi’s Playbook:
“When Russia invaded Ukraine, gold shot up. I bought it on the pullback at $1,890. Within two weeks, it hit
$2,070.”
The world moves the chart. Watch the world.

Topic 8: Correlation Between News and Technical Setups

The best trades happen when news and charts agree.
Example:
USD/JPY is at a major support zone
Fed is expected to raise rates
News comes out: Rate hike confirmed
Candle breaks resistance
You enter, and ride the wave
Johnny’s formula:
“News adds fuel. But structure builds the fire. Don’t rely on news alone. Combine it with price action.”

Topic 9: Long-Term vs. Short-Term Fundamental Trading

Short-term:
Focus on news releases
High volatility
Quick entries and exits
Long-term
Analyze central bank policies
Monitor macro trends
Hold trades for weeks or months
Al-Arabi’s Long-Term Trade:
In 2022, I noticed strong U.S. job data + Fed’s hawkish tone. I held a USD/CAD long for 6 weeks and
banked 480 pips.
Patience pays. Fundamentals reward the patient mind.
Topic 10: Building a Fundamental Trading Plan
Your plan must include:
Economic calendar review (daily/weekly)
Awareness of central bank tone
Technical chart alignment
Entry/exit plans based on events
Stop-loss to handle volatility
Golden Rule:
Never trade news without a plan.
Al-Arabi’s Morning Ritual:

1. Check news calendar

2. Mark red events
3. Adjust lot size and stops
4. Avoid greed
5. Pray for wisdom—and trade with clarity

Chapter 6: Risk Management and Trading

Psychology
Topic 1: Why Risk Management is More Important Than Strategy
Most traders focus only on entries. But a perfect entry without proper risk management is suicide.
A trader without risk control:
Wins three trades, loses one—blows the account
Doubles lot size after a loss
Lets losses run, but cuts winners early
A trader with risk control:
Manages every position with precision
Accepts losses without panic
Survives long enough to win consistently
Al-Arabi’s Law:
“It’s not about how many pips you catch. It’s about how much you risk to catch them.”
I’ve seen a trader win 70% of the time and still blow up. I’ve seen another win only 40%—yet grow
steadily. The difference? Risk control.

Topic 2: Understanding Risk-to-Reward Ratio (R:R)

Risk-to-Reward (R:R) is your trading balance scale.
If you:
Risk 20 pips to gain 60 pips, your R:R = 1:3
Risk 50 to gain 25 = 2:1 against you (dangerous)
The power of 1:3 R:R:
Even with 40% win rate, you can still be profitable
It gives you breathing space and long-term growth
Al-Arabi’s Setup Rule:
“I only enter trades that give me at least 1:2 R:R. Anything below that, I skip—even if it looks perfect.”
Johnny whispers:
“If the risk isn’t worth the reward, walk away. Discipline builds wealth.”

Topic 3: Position Sizing – How Much Should You Risk Per Trade?
Never risk randomly.
The golden rule:
Risk 1–2% of your account per trade.
Formula:
If you have $1,000
1% risk = $10
SL is 20 pips
$10 ÷ 20 pips = $0.50 per pip = lot size
This ensures:
You survive losing streaks
You grow steadily
You protect your mental health
Al-Arabi’s Note:
At the start, I overleveraged. A 100-pip move wiped half my account. When I shifted to small, calculated
risks, my account grew—even slowly.
It’s not speed. It’s survival.

Topic 4: Stop Loss and Take Profit – Why You Must Use Them
A Stop Loss (SL) protects your capital.
A Take Profit (TP) protects your profits.
Never trade without SL.
Reasons:
News can spike violently
Emotions can blind you
Market can go irrational longer than you can stay solvent
Use logical SL:
Behind support/resistance
Not just fixed pip numbers
Al-Arabi’s Example: I once went to sleep without SL on gold. I woke up to a -$2200 loss. Never again.
TP is just as important:
It stops you from being greedy
It trains you to accept success
Johnny’s advice:
*“If you can't decide when to exit, the market will decide for you—and you won’t like it.”
Topic 5: The Power of Compounding – Let Your Profits Grow
Let’s say you grow your account by 5% per week:
Start: $1,000
Month 1: $1,215
Month 6: $2,900+
Month 12: $9,300+
That’s the magic of compounding.
But it only works if:
You don’t overtrade
You reinvest smartly
You don’t withdraw too early
Al-Arabi’s Rule of Growth: “Focus on percentages, not pips. Grow the balance, not the ego.”
Topic 6: Emotional Control – The Real Key to Trading

Emotions destroy more traders than bad strategies ever will.

Common killers:
Fear – closes trades too early
Greed – refuses to close profits
Revenge trading – after a loss, enters again blindly
Overconfidence – increases lot size after a win
Discipline beats emotion every time.
How to gain control:
Follow a written plan
Don’t trade when tired or angry
Take breaks after big wins or losses
Journal every trade
Johnny teaches:
“Trading is not about excitement. It’s about calm, repeated decisions under pressure.”
Topic 7: How to Handle Losing Streaks Like a Pro
Everyone loses. The question is—how do you respond?
Don’t:
Change strategy mid-way
Increase lot size to recover
Chase revenge trades
Do:
Reduce lot size
Revisit your plan
Take a break to reflect
Focus on execution, not recovery
Al-Arabi’s Deep Loss:
I once had 6 losses in a row. I stepped away for 3 days. When I came back, I studied my entries. I adjusted.
Then I won 4 trades in a row.

“Losses don’t destroy you—panic does.”

Topic 8: Journaling Your Trades for Growth
A trading journal is your personal mirror.

Track:
Entry & exit
Why you took the trade
What went right or wrong
Emotions during the trade
This helps you:
Spot patterns
Eliminate mistakes
Strengthen discipline
Al-Arabi’s Ritual:
At the end of every week, I review all trades. I highlight the good ones in green. I mark red zones for errors.
This habit helped me grow faster than any course.

Topic 9: Developing Patience and Discipline

Patience is the strongest edge you’ll ever have.
Wait for perfect setups
Avoid trading every day
Learn to not trade
Discipline means:
You follow your rules even when it hurts
You don’t jump in because of FOMO
You stay calm during drawdown
Johnny’s truth:
“The market rewards the patient and punishes the impulsive.”
Topic 10: Al-Arabi’s Mental Trading Framework
Before every trade, I go through a mental checklist:
1. Does this setup match my strategy?
2. Is there a key level or confirmation candle?
3. Is news about to release?
4. Is my risk-to-reward 1:2 or better?
5. Am I calm right now?
6. If I lose, will I be okay emotionally and financially?
If any answer is “No”—I skip it.
This mindset saved my account more times than I can count.
Trading isn’t just technical.
It’s mental.
Spiritual.
Strategic.

Chapter 7: Trading Platforms, Tools, and Technical Mastery

Topic 1: Choosing the Right Trading Platform (MT4, MT5, cTrader)

In your trading journey, the platform is your weapon. You can have the best knowledge, but with the wrong
tool, you’ll fall behind.
Main platforms in the forex world:
MetaTrader 4 (MT4) – Classic, lightweight, widely used
MetaTrader 5 (MT5) – Updated, supports more assets
cTrader – Sleek interface, better for advanced execution
Key differences:
Al-Arabi’s Journey:
I started with MT4. Simple. Fast. Enough.
When I expanded into stocks and commodities, I moved to MT5. I wanted more data, more tools, more
power.
Now, I also use cTrader when I want smoother execution—especially for scalping.

Johnny’s reminder:
“Don’t fall in love with a platform. Fall in love with clarity. Use what gives you peace and control.”
Conclusion:
If you’re starting out—MT4 is great.
If you want versatility—MT5 is strong.
If you’re a speed trader—cTrader may be your best weapon.
The platform doesn’t make the trader.
The trader commands the platform.
Chapter 8: Strategy Development and Backtesting

Topic 1: What Makes a Good Trading Strategy?

A strategy is not a guess. It is a repeatable process built on logic, backtested history, and clarity.
A good strategy answers:
When do I enter?
Where do I exit?
How much do I risk?
What are the conditions?
Al-Arabi’s 4 Pillars of Strategy:
1. Entry logic – clear and consistent
2. Risk-to-reward ratio – always positive
3. Defined timeframe – don’t mix signals
4. Backtested confidence – proven by data
Personal Experience:
When I started, I copied signals. No strategy.
I blew 3 accounts. I was angry.
Then I paused, studied price action, built a simple strategy. That changed my game.
The key is simplicity with discipline.
Topic 2: Building a Simple Price Action Strategy
Price action means trading based on what price is doing, not indicators alone.
Basic price action tools:
Support and Resistance
Candlestick patterns (Engulfing, Pin bar, Doji)
Breakouts and retests
Market structure (Higher highs/lows, lower highs/lows)
Al-Arabi’s Setup (Example):
Timeframe: H4
Entry: Bullish engulfing at key support
Stop loss: Below recent low
TP: 1:2 RR
Why it works:
It’s clean, visual, and based on raw market psychology.
Johnny says:
“If you can’t explain your strategy in one sentence, it’s too complicated.”
Topic 3: Using Indicators to Build a Strategy
Indicators can help you filter noise and confirm setups.
Types of indicators:
Trend indicators: Moving Averages, MACD
Momentum: RSI, Stochastic
Volume: OBV, Volume Profile
Strategy Example: Moving Average + RSI
Buy when price is above 50 EMA and RSI crosses 30 upward
Sell when price is below 50 EMA and RSI crosses 70 downward
Al-Arabi’s Insight:
Indicators don’t create strategies—they support them.
Never let them confuse you.
Topic 4: Understanding Market Conditions – Trend, Range, Reversal
Strategies must match the market condition.
Market types:
Trending – Higher highs/lows or lower highs/lows
Ranging – Price bouncing between levels
Reversing – Trend breaking down

Adaptation Example:
Trend strategy fails in range.
Range strategy fails in trend.
How I Failed:
I once used a trend strategy in a range. I lost 6 trades straight. I didn’t recognize the condition. That loss
taught me environment first, entry second.
Topic 5: Backtesting – Testing Your Strategy on Historical Data:
Backtesting means checking how your strategy would have performed in the past.

Steps:
1. Choose pair and timeframe
2. Scroll back (no peeking ahead)
3. Apply your rules one by one
4. Record results: Win/Loss, Risk-Reward
5. Analyze performance

Tools:
TradingView (manual)
Soft4Fx (for MT4)
FX Blue Simulator
Al-Arabi’s Wisdom:
“Backtesting builds belief. If you’ve never seen your strategy win 100 times, you’ll doubt it during a
drawdown.”

Topic 6: Forward Testing and Demo Trading

After backtesting, test it in the live market on a demo account.
This helps you:
See how it behaves in real time
Learn patience
Build discipline
Demo Rules:
Treat it like real money
Don’t break your rules
Journal every trade
My Transition:
I traded demo for 3 months with one strategy. Then I went live. That patience saved me from emotional
errors.
Johnny whispers:
“Rushing to real money is like flying a plane without training.”
Topic 7: Journaling Your Strategy and Trades
Trading without journaling is like traveling without a map.
Journaling reveals:
Your emotional triggers
Winning patterns
Mistakes you keep repeating
What to include:
Entry reason
Setup screenshot
Result (W/L)
Emotion at time of trade
What you learned
Al-Arabi’s Routine:
Every Friday, I review the week. I highlight best trades, worst mistakes, and improvement goals.
Lesson:
Your journal becomes your private mentor.
Topic 8: Optimizing a Strategy – Don’t Overfit!
Optimization means improving your system—but be careful not to over-optimize.

Bad Optimization:
Changing too many rules based on one bad week
Curve fitting to past results
Good Optimization:
Adjusting based on large data sets (50+ trades)
Improving only one rule at a tim
Example:
You notice your strategy loses during news.
Optimization = avoid high-impact news times.
That’s smart refinement, not overreaction.
Al-Arabi’s Rule:
“Let your strategy breathe. Don’t fix what’s not broken.”
Topic 9: Creating a Trading Plan Document
Your plan should be in writing—a living document.
Include:
Your strategy rules
Risk rules
Daily routine
Weekly goals
Emotional checklists
Market filters
My Plan Includes:
No trade during emotional stress
Max 2 trades per day
Stop after 2 wins or 1 loss
When I broke this rule, I spiraled. When I followed it, I grew.
Johnny’s voice:
“If it’s not written, it’s just a wish.”
Topic 10: Building the Discipline to Follow the Strategy
You can have the best strategy—but without discipline, it’s useless
Discipline Builders:
Trade less
Stick to your plan
Walk away after loss
Don’t chase wins
Reward yourself for rule-following, not just profits
Al-Arabi’s Daily Practice:
I meditate 5 minutes before trading
I read my trading plan aloud
I take one break per session
Over time, I learned that success is 20% strategy, 80% psychology and routine.

Chapter 9: Trading Psychology and Emotional

Mastery
Topic 1: Understanding Trading Emotions

The market is not your enemy — your emotions are.

Fear, greed, hope, and revenge are the four horsemen that destroy accounts.
Common emotional traps:
Fear of missing out (FOMO)
Revenge trading after a loss
Holding losers in hope they’ll “come back”
Overconfidence after a big win
Al-Arabi’s Story:
There were days I won a trade and felt like a king. The next day I risked double and lost it all. Why?
Emotion hijacked my logic.
To master the market, you must first master yourself.
Topic 2: The Role of Patience in Trading
Patience is the most underrated trading skill. Waiting for the right setup separates gamblers from
professionals.
Signs of impatience
Forcing trade
Constantly switching strategies
Over-trading
Discipline Plan:
Set a minimum number of quality setups per week
Create “No Trade” zones (like during news or bad conditions)
Reward yourself for waiting, not just winning
Johnny says:
“Sometimes, the best trade is no trade.”
Topic 3: How to Handle Losses Like a Pro
Losses are normal — they are the tuition fees of the market. What matters is your reaction.
Wrong reaction:
Doubling your lot size
Removing your stop loss
Emotional breakdown
Right reaction:
Log the loss
Ask: “Did I follow my plan?”
If yes, accept it. If no, fix it.
Al-Arabi’s Practice:
After every loss, I walk away for 15 minutes. I reflect, not react. That saved me many times from revenge
trading.
Topic 4: The Danger of Overtrading
Overtrading drains your account, confidence, and focus.
Why we overtrade:
Boredom
Greed
Addiction to market noise
Solution:
Set daily trade limits
Pre-select your trade windows
Focus on quality, not quantity
Al-Arabi’s Rule:
Never exceed 3 trades per day.
If I lose 2 in a row, I stop.
This rule saved my capital again and again.
Topic 5: Building Confidence Without Arrogance

Confidence is built through:

Backtesting results
Journaling wins and losses
Sticking to your system
But beware — confidence can turn into arrogance.
Arrogance kills when:
You ignore risk rules
You over-leverage after wins
You stop learning
Balance = Humble mastery
Johnny whispers:
“The market is bigger than you. Respect it always.”
Topic 6: Dealing with Anxiety Before or During Trades
Anxiety causes hesitation, bad entries, and early exits.
Causes:
Risking too much
Lack of belief in your system
Watching every pip
Solutions:
Use proper lot size
Turn off charts after setting your trade
Meditate or breathe before sessions
Al-Arabi’s Ritual:
I take deep breaths before every trade.
I remind myself: “One trade does not define me.”
That mindset brought peace and consistency.

Topic 7: Psychological Effects of Wins and Losses

Wins can create:
Overconfidence
Greedy behavior
Increased risk
Losses can create:
Fear
Doubt
Self-blame
Control mechanism:
Win? Follow your rules again.
Lose? Stick to plan, don’t chase.
Al-Arabi’s Example:
I once had 5 wins in a row.
I broke my rules on the 6th — and lost everything I made.
That’s when I created my “Post-Win Cooldown” rule.
Topic 8: The Power of a Trading Routine
Routines create consistency.
Elements of a powerful routine:
Set daily trading hours
Pre-market analysis
Post-trade journaling

Mental check-ins
Sample Routine:
6 AM: Market scan
7 AM: Set alerts, walk away
12 PM: Re-check markets, trade
6 PM: Journal, reflect, log results
This removes chaos and builds professional mindset.
Topic 9: Detaching Self-Worth from Trading Results
You are not your P&L.
Good people lose trades
Bad traders can win by luck.
Dangerous mindset:
Feeling worthless after losses
Feeling superior after wins
Healthy mindset:
Focus on growth, not outcome
Celebrate discipline, not just profits
Johnny says:
“Money is a tool. You are the master. Never reverse the roles.”
Topic 10: Rewiring Your Mind for Long-Term Success
You must think like a trader before you earn like one.
How to rewire your brain:
Read trading psychology books
Listen to trader podcasts
Affirmations: “I trade my plan. I trust the process.”
Visualize success: calm, confident, consistent
Al-Arabi’s Affirmation:
“I am not chasing the market. I am a sniper. I wait. I strike. I win.”
Your mindset becomes your edge.

Chapter 10: Becoming a Professional Trader

Topic 1: Defining What “Professional” Means in Trading

Being a professional isn’t about trading full-time or quitting your job — it’s about how you approach the
market.
A professional:
Has a written trading plan
Respects risk every time
Logs every trade and reflects
Doesn’t trade for fun — trades for purpose
Al-Arabi’s Words:
“I became a pro the day I stopped chasing and started tracking. I traded like I was managing a fund — even
with $100.”

Topic 2: Creating a Trading Business Mindset

Treat trading like a business, not a bet.

Business mindset includes:
Monthly goals (not daily)
Operating costs (platform, internet, time)
Investment in education
Tracking profits/losses like financial reports
My Practice:
Every month, I review my performance like a CEO.
I ask: What worked? What failed? Where’s the waste?
This made me accountable, not just hopeful.

Topic 3: Scaling Up Your Trading Account

Once your strategy is consistent, you’ll want to grow your capital.
Safe ways to scale:
Increase lot size slowly
Compound profits mothly
Use funded accounts (prop firms)
Scaling Rule:
Never increase size unless you've been profitable for 3 straight months with consistent discipline.
Al-Arabi’s Path:
I scaled from $100 to $1,000… then got funded by a prop firm.
But I waited until I had proof and patience.
Topic 4: Getting Funded by Prop Trading Firms
Prop firms offer big capital if you pass their challenge.
Popular firms:
FTMO
MyForexFunds (before issues)
The5%ers
True Forex Funds
Common challenge rules:
Hit profit target (e.g., 10%)
Don’t lose more than 5-10%
Follow daily drawdown limits
Tip:
Use your backtested strategy.
Don't switch just to pass — pass by staying you.
Johnny whispers:
“Getting funded is not the goal. Staying funded is.”

Topic 5: Balancing Trading with Life and Family

Professionals balance their money and their mind.
Life balance tips:
Set trading hours (don’t trade all day)
Take breaks after a loss
Avoid trading during emotional periods (sickness, stress, arguments)
Celebrate wins with your loved ones
Al-Arabi’s System:
I never trade after 7 PM. I focus on family and faith.
This balance made me more focused, more grateful, and more profitable.

Topic 6: Building Multiple Streams Around Trading

Don’t depend on only your trades.
Streams to build:
Funded accounts
Signals (only if you’re consistent)
Mentorship (after years of proof)
Trading content (books, videos, journals)
Affiliate deals with brokers (ethically)
Al-Arabi’s Reality:
I turned my journal into a course.
I shared my journey on YouTube.
I built the “Future Guide” brand from pain, growth, and truth.
Topic 7: Staying Consistent Through Changing Markets
Markets evolve — so must your methods.
To stay consistent:
Revisit your strategy every quarter
Stay educated with books, podcasts
Study fundamental events (interest rates, wars, inflation)
Track your equity curve and adapt
Personal Tip:
Don’t change too fast.
Review over 50 trades before altering any system.

Topic 8: Preparing for Trading Burnout and Mental Fatigue

Even pro traders get tired. You must manage your energy.
Burnout signs:
Overanalyzing
Doubting every trade
Fatigue or depression
Prevention:
Take scheduled breaks (1 week off every 3 months)
Meditate or pray before sessions
Reduce screen time
Journaling emotions
Johnny says:
“If your brain is tired, your trades will suffer.”
Topic 9: Joining a Trading Community or Network
Success grows faster when shared.
Benefits of community:
Learn from others’ mistakes
Share setups and ideas
Emotional support
New perspectives on strategies
Warning:
Avoid toxic groups full of hype and false flex.
Stick with serious, committed, humble traders.
Al-Arabi’s Experience:
I joined a community where we met every Friday to review trades.
That group helped me evolve 5x faster.
Topic 10: Leaving a Legacy Through Trading
Professional trading is not just about money.
It’s about impact, legacy, contribution.
Ways to build legacy:
Teach others
Fund charities from profits
Share real experiences (like this book)
Build generational wealth
Al-Arabi’s Legacy:
From Yaleri village to building the Future Guide.
From tears of failure to teaching thousands.
From pain to purpose — this is my legacy through trading.
Final Concluding Speech: A Letter to the World from Al-Arabi
Page 1: Introduction from the Soul
In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate.
To every heart that’s ever broken, to every hand that shook before placing a trade, to every dreamer who
looked at charts hoping for freedom — this is for you.

I am Al-Arabi.
Not a perfect man.
But a man who chose to rise when life broke him.
This book you hold was written with truth, blood, tears, and fire — not just ink.
Page 2: From the Village to the Vision
I come from Yaleri, a small land with big souls.
My father, Muhammad Mukhtar Arabi, was my first teacher.
He taught me Qur'an before I touched a keyboard.
He taught me patience before I saw a candlestick.
From that soil came this seed — a boy who dared to trade the world.
But trading didn't just change my bank.
It changed my heart, my habits, and my horizon.

Page 3: When I Lost Everything

I’ve been broke.
I’ve stared at a screen with $3 in my account.
I’ve cried after losing trades.
I’ve questioned if I was cursed.
I’ve begged Allah in sujood to help me understand the charts.
I lost trades.
But I gained myself.

Page 4: The Real Market Is Inside You

Every trader thinks the market is the enemy.
But the true market is inside your chest.
Your emotions, your greed, your fear.
You can learn indicators…
But can you control your soul?
That’s the difference between profit and poverty.
Page 5: To My Fellow Traders
This is not a game.
The market doesn’t care about your dreams.
But it will reward your discipline.
Trade like a surgeon.
Think like a CEO.
Feel like a monk.
And never enter a trade that contradicts your rules.

Page 6: To the Youth of Africa

You don’t need to travel to get wealth.
You don’t need visas to earn.
You need vision.
Forex, crypto, stocks — these are tools.
But your greatest asset is your mind and character.
Rise. Learn. Build.
Start with $10 if you must — but start.
Page 7: To My Brothers in Faith
Islam is not against wealth.
But it is against arrogance, riba, and waste.
Trade with taqwa.
Earn with honesty.
Remember the poor, even when you’re rich.
I learned that when I gave zakat, my profits grew more.
Page 8: Pain Is a Teacher
Every time I lost money, I blamed the market.
Then I realized — the market exposed me.
Pain forced me to study harder.
Pain taught me risk management.
Pain turned me into a teacher.
If you’re in pain right now — congratulations. You’re evolving.
Page 9: The Power of Dua
I don’t just use trendlines.
I use prayers.
Every morning I say:
"Ya Allah, let me be disciplined. Let me trade with wisdom. Let me grow without harming others."
Don’t underestimate the power of sincere dua.
Page 10: Journal of a Warrior
I kept a journal of every loss, every mistake, every emotion.
Now, that journal became this book.
Write your truth.
It might save someone tomorrow.
Page 11: The Danger of Show-Offs
Too many people flash profits and hide losses.
That’s fraud. That’s fitnah.
Be real.
Be raw.
Let people respect your honesty, not your screenshots.
Page 12: Knowledge Over Hype
Indicators come and go.
Trends rise and fall.
But knowledge stays.
Read books. Watch real mentors. Ignore fake flexers.
Remember: the quietest trader in the room is usually the richest.
Page 13: Faith Over Fear
When I feared the market, I lost.
When I trusted Allah, followed my rules, and stayed calm — I grew.
The secret?
Do your best — then trust Allah with the rest.
Page 14: To the One Who's Just Starting
You will lose.
You will doubt.
You will feel dumb.
Good.
That means you’re learning.
Keep going.
The future is being built right now — by you.
Page 15: Every Candle Tells a Story
Each candlestick is not just data.
It’s human emotion.
It’s greed, fear, war, money, politics, and dreams — all in one chart.
Read it like a language.
Feel it like a poem.
That’s how I became fluent in the market.
Page 16: Stop Trading Like a Child
Gambling is not trading.
Hope is not a strategy.
Screenshots are not success.
Stop playing.
Start planning.
Page 17: Give More Than You Take
I once helped a young trader for free.
He became a millionaire before me.
He came back and gifted me a funded account.
Moral?
What you give will come back stronger.

Page 18: Build Something Bigger

I founded the Maimuna Bintu Harith Foundation — not from riches, but from purpose.
Build something that lives longer than you.
Trading can be your first step.
Let legacy be the final destination.
Page 19: Silence Is Power
Don’t announce every win.
Don’t react to every loss.
Move in silence. Grow in discipline.
Let your results speak.
Let your mind stay still.
Page 20: Wealth Without Wisdom Is a Curse
I’ve seen traders become rich… then lose it all in pride and pleasure.
Don’t be rich and stupid.
Be rich and wise.
Be generous. Be humble. Be grateful.
Page 21: What If You Fail?
You might fail.
So what?
I failed over 100 times.
I just never stopped.
You only lose when you quit.
Page 22: To the Future Me
Dear Future Al-Arabi,
If you ever forget where you started, read this book again.
If you ever grow arrogant, return to sujood.
If you ever feel tired, teach a young trader.
Your future is a mirror of your today.

Page 23–30: Final Words for the World

Let these final pages be a voice for the voiceless — traders in villages, students in cyber cafés, mothers
raising kids while studying charts.
You are not weak.
You are not late.
You are not alone.
This is your time.
I was just a boy with a laptop and a dream.
Now I’m a man with a mission.
If I did it — so can you.
The charts are waiting.
The future is calling.
Don’t just read this book.
Live it.
I am Al-Arabi.
And ths… is your Future Guide.
