  Why She Trades Only GBP/USD Now |Samba Mzera 28.08.2026 46นาที

  Samba Mzera spent more than four years trading without consistent profitability.She started trading in 2021, taught herself through trial and error, tested different pairs and strategies, lost money, experimented with bots and signals, and experienced the psychological weight that comes with trying to figure out the markets largely on her own.Then she simplified.Today, Samba focuses exclusively on GBP/USD, trading primarily from the 1-hour and 4-hour charts and taking roughly one or two trades a week. Her approach is built around support and resistance, patience, controlled risk and waiting for setups that fit her plan.In this episode of Bullish Banter, Samba Mzera opens up about the journey behind that change and what she learned along the way.For educational purposes only.

  The Hard Road to Becoming A Profitable Trader| Nicholas Gitau 21.08.2026 1ชม. 1นาที

  Nick’s Forex journey is anything but straightforward. He started out like many aspiring traders do looking for an opportunity, trusting the wrong people and learning through costly mistakes.

He shares why he believes time and price both matter when analysing the market, how trading with real money changes your psychology, why he prefers focusing on a small number of currency pairs, and the role risk management plays in protecting a trader from their own decisions.We also get into the bigger trading ecosystem in Kenya and East Africa from misinformation and unrealistic expectations to the pressure created by social media traders showcasing the rewards without showing the process.Nick also explains why community has become such an important part of his trading journey, how accountability can improve discipline, and why traders need to actively participate rather than simply consume setups from other people.For educational purposes only.
