Self-taught trader Ahmed, who began trading during the pandemic, emphasizes the importance of financial stability and is not looking to quit his day job.

He leverages AI tools for sentiment analysis and maintains strict risk management in his trading strategy.

Harsh Rastogi, an entrepreneur with 24 years of trading experience, finds it challenging to split his focus between his full-time job and the stock market.

He prioritizes quality trades over quantity, planning in advance to manage both responsibilities effectively.

Ravi Patel, who works in logistics, shares that he started trading in 2017 and has seen significant financial success, earning more from trading than his salary. However, he remains cautious about relying solely on trading due to market volatility.

These individuals exemplify the ambition and risk tolerance of UAE residents as they navigate dual careers in pursuit of financial freedom.
