Founder @TradeZella / trading since
2013. I share my opinions on the market & trading.

[Umar Ashraf @UmarAshraf]

I constantly see traders get crushed in markets like today’s because they can’t adapt in real time.

When a news event becomes the dominant driver of the markets (such as this war) you must be able to adopt to the sentiment shifts.

A setup that looks like a good on the upside , can & may change very fast with headlines that shift sentiment.

We’re seeing it happen, war news flips direction, price follows and people get trapped in their initial “bias”.

In these environments your edge isn’t the setup, It’s how fast you recognize that the narrative changed and the trade no longer makes sense or even requires you to reevaluate.

We spent the last few months rebuilding the future of TradeZella from ground up and I’m extremely excited to share it with everyone soon.

While everyone has been building vibe coded ai slop journals, we’re reinventing the game once again.

More than just a “journal”…

The trading space year after year, continues to be disappointing.

After covid, we had so many bad actors enter in where the focus shifted more into being an influencer and shilling nonsense to people that don’t know any better, instead of being a “good” trader.

Most of what you see online, it’s just marketing.

Focus on you, don’t trust anyone in the space. No one will come and save you besides yourself.

One of the most important articles you will read.

As exciting AI is, there’s tons of real challenges ahead.

[Umar Ashraf @UmarAshraf]

We’re in the middle of one of the biggest technological shifts ever.

AI is rewriting the rules for every single thing.

Most people still don’t get how fast it’s moving and the gap between those who embrace it and those who don’t is going to be massive.

Heads down for next few months 🫡

What a year 2025’s been.

Most highs and lows in a single year like you’re on a rollercoaster every other day.

$303k trading profits for August. (Live video)

I understand the profits I post at times make people feel skeptical and question it, which is totally understandable because of the space we’re in.

I’ve been trading for 11+ years now. Didn’t get really really good until year 6-7+. By no means is trading easy. If you want to make easy fast money then don’t get into trading.

If you’re willing to put in hard work, years of effort, and go through tons of highs and lows then choose trading.

This was one of my tougher months due to not finding flow in the market, missing key days and having no reads + drawdown.

Hope everyone had a good August!

Will post a full @TradeZella recap this weekend breaking down some setups/ game plans and stats.

Enjoy your weekend.
