Hi everyone,

Let me start wishing you all a great week and don’t forget to prepare something special for your other half tomorrow.
Many of you might have never heard about Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. It is a basic model that explains our needs and evolution as we climb up the levels of the pyramid. Our live is a journey where we evolve and grow and it makes little sense to pursue the top level when you haven’t fulfilled the previous bottom base levels. Trading is similar and it takes time to reach the top. If you keep dreaming with the top level without going and mastering the base levels you will only experience failure after failure. Understanding the banking system, learning about technical analysis and getting accurate signals, learning about geopolitical and macro economics, central banks money policies, leverage and risk management and so on. I will try to write a bit about a few of these topics, but now back to Maslow.

Here is the Maslow’s Pyramid and a video where you can listen about its structure if you are interested. Self awareness and self-actualization is important to reach higher levels faster. Don’t stay stuck in the bottom level.

And here a quick easy tutorial video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-4ithG_07Q

You will find many videos and articles if you google it.

Have a great week
