Two Worlds, One Goal: Creating Balance.
Now this... this is where the real battle began. On one side, Blockchain Development — a world of code, decentralization, and smart contracts. On the other, Forex Trading — candles, charts, patterns, and pips. So where do I go from here? At first, it was chaos. I’d be deep in writing a smart contract in Solidity, then moments later, I’d find myself back on TradingView, analyzing XAU/USD like my life depended on it. My mind was constantly bouncing between gas fees and candlesticks. I knew something had to give — this back-and-forth was draining my focus, and if I kept going like that, I’d end up mastering neither. So I paused. I took some serious time to reflect and ask myself the big question: “How do I fix this?” After some much-needed clarity, I narrowed it down to three options: Quit trading and go all-in on tech. Quit tech and go all-in on trading. Find a way to make both work together. Option 3 it was. But the big question now became — HOW??? That’s when it hit me: I had to change my trading style. Instead of bouncing around between charts all day like a headless chicken, I chose to become a Swing Trader, someone who plays the long game. Now, for those who might be new to this, let me break it down real quick: We've got 3 major types of traders out there: Scalpers: These guys are in and out in minutes. Blink and their trade is done. Day Traders: They hold trades for a few hours, sometimes half a day. Swing Traders: We're the patient ones. We ride the waves for days, weeks, even months. That’s where I found my sweet spot. Swing trading gave me breathing space. I didn’t need to be glued to the charts 24/7. I could place a trade, walk away, and check back in every few hours, which meant I could finally dive into code without constantly switching mental gears. This was the breakthrough moment. This is how I managed to pursue both dreams — becoming a Trader and a Tech Bro. Was it easy? Nope. Did it take time to get the hang of swing trading? Absolutely. But it worked — and it’s still working. Now, two years into my trading journey, I can confidently say it’s been a steady uptrend. Not always smooth, not always perfect, but always forward. And as for why I chose both paths? Trading -> for the money, the freedom, the lifestyle. Tech —> simply because I love it. I genuinely enjoy building things with code. If you made it this far, thank you for reading. I hope my story sparked something in you. Maybe a lesson, maybe a little inspiration. Until next time, Stay tuned!!!
