A Day In The Life of a Trader (REALITY)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 лют 2025
- Showing you the reality and day in my life as a trader. I trade forex, stocks and commodities. I also use these various markets for intermarket analysis purposes. If you like watching a day in the life of a trader vlogs, I hope this gives you a glimpse of the reality of what I do in most weekends.
While I have to work weekends as a trader, I have the time freedom to do whatever I want on weekdays. I don't see it as work since I really love what I am doing.
Don't be too blinded by the luxury millionaire traders lifestyle because most of my life as a trader involves doing a lot of research, studying and work. Improving everyday as a trader makes me satisfied. Whether you're a forex trader, stock market trader, or options trader, I hope that this trading lifestyle vlog can inspire you.

*Karen showed off a merchant's day without luxury cars and luxury watches. A good trader doesn't need a show*
@TYPHON FUN true
And who said what a good trader does and does Not do ?
You ?

The porsche and Mercedes belong to my mom, not me. So no point showing all the time. And wearing watches irritates my skin sometimes so i kept it in my drawers. And if I could, I'd wear my pyjamas to office. But I get why certain traders show, to inspire other people. Depends on personal preferences
@@KarenFoo I hope I'm not misunderstood, Karen. You work hard and you deserve the best. But some traders sell dreams to people, so I said for those people.
Your videos are always amazing karen thank you so very much you are my inspiration in this trading journey and I'm so very sorry for your loss, it hard i know i lost a lot of loved ones this year too but,we must stay strong.Keep inspiring us young trader we do need you alot.😁
I just wanted to say how sorry I am for your loss. Losing someone that you care about is extremely difficult. We all need to take care of our mental health, and reach out when we feel so low. Unfortunately, it's easier said than done, when you're in that state of mind.
Take care, and thank you for all you do.
Karen Foo, first of all, please accept my condolences on your friend's physical passing. May God have him in his presence. Be strong...
I also want to thank you for another encouraging video... the goal is to reach this level, and go further.
I want to give you some advice if you don't mind...
I would like you to be careful with certain types of processed foods as they are very bad for our health.
"Health is not everything, but everything is nothing without health"
Preferably opt for more natural foods and carbohydrates with compound.
I would like to see you getting healthier in order to always offer us your wonderful teachings.
God bless you!🙏🏾
Thanks for your kind concern. Well My psychiatrist once told me that I'm supposed to be addicted to alcohol or drugs after past trauma from bullying and abuse but I am not. So at least let me have my comfort food 🥲
I am sorry about your loss of your dear friend and hope you succeed meanwhile to give it a place in your life. Thank your for teaching us not only about trading but also to care about others and remaining humble in life. 🙏
I knew about you about four days ago but your videos have helped me a lot to start this trading journey. I have also got the soft copy of your book Fundamentals of Currency Trading and I hope that I will get the best out of it. Sorry for the loss of your friend. Your last quote in the video crowned everything. Thanks for this.
I'm glad to know that. Happy reading!
I have so much respect for you as a trader and person, very loyal to your goals and consistently doing what needs to be done to be profitable. You are Awesome! 😊
dear Karen I've started learning from your channel. teachings are very clear but the problem is in video orders.can you please at least make a playlist order so we don't get confuse to choose where to start
I love Karen foo such a respectfull and humble trader , her lifestyle s simple and she makes the most of out of it,I wish to be at her level some day🙏
Now that I'm in my 30s I prefer a simple life
Hi thanks for video i have a question...what books have you studied in video?say the names of them thanks
Thanks to your teachings, after seeing the china covid zero protest this weekend, I immediately thought about shorting AUDJPY and AUDUSD during Asia open today 🎉 take care of your mental health, and may your teachings continue to inspire many lives like it did to mine 💪
Thank you for your kind concern and encouragement
Sorry to hear about your friend K.
btw: Thanks to your guest, I'm really happy with his video on trading with the S7 plus tablet. I picked up the 5G version; It's made a world of difference with my practice and helping me to keep up with your content too!
No worries
Thanks for going out of your way to share this video with so many people that don't really know you. I appreciate your efforts. That's a tough one to lose your friend, yet you made a video during that time. You're quite resilient.
You are not the real karen foo. You imposter.
I'm so sorry about your friend my love 🙏🏾 my condolences go out to you and their family. Is the book you're reading at @5:33 a quantitative book about algos & intermarket analysis? If so & you don't mind sharing, what book is it? I'm curious.
hi.thanks for your videos.i want to start learning forex from your channel.where should I start with?
I've been learning for about 6 months and still not able to even analysis the chart for trading.just don't know how and where should I start from your channel?could you make a video of which playlist should I start with and with what order should I continue learning?
nice my sister really really inspire me I'm really happy to subscribed your channel. nice have a good hour, day, month and year. i hope you achieve your dream inshallah
this the reason why i watch your videos after seeing the 593rd video of a forex trader flashing lambos and pools and penthouses and "work only 1 hour a day and earn 3k a week, just follow my course!". nah, it's hard work. i don't work weekends usually and that's fine, if i was aiming much higher it might have to do. thank you for keeping it real and not flashy
Firstly, a lot of trading "gurus" do it because it gets views. Secondly, i have a finance degree from singapore's top university and been through years of professional speaking training. Whereas a lot of influencers don't even have a basic finance background. It's completely different.
@@KarenFoo absolutely. too bad that those f... gurus warp a lot of people's mind into thinking that they are the pros. keep up with the content!!!
sorry for your loss. viewers can feel your pain, tears & grieving. hope u take interest in mental health issues and it might be a frontier for u to make a difference. keep on shining ✨✨
Thank you for your kind words .
I enjoyed this video very much. Got a glimpse of what a trader's life is like. You are humorous at times with your witty comments. This video shows the human side of you. Thanks for sharing. Really appreciate it.
hy, Sorry to hear about your friend, May Her soul rest in peace. I like watching your content, plz do it on regularly so we can learn more and more.
Thank you for inviting us to see Real Life Trading. I've seen many of your videos and enjoy them very much. Keep strong Karen 💪. I wish you The Best!
Thank you for your kind words
Karen, my friend, I am so sorry about your friend. My deepest condolences 💐. I look forward to your interview with Etienne.
I also do weekend review every week. Thanks. It helps to show that I am on the right track as well.
Keep it up
yayyyyy can't wait to watch! Karen with another BANGER! 💥
Hi Karen
Can you pls teach London session very detailed ❤plsss
Sorry for your loss Karen..... Please take care of yourself.
Thank you for sharing 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Karen you inspire me a lot. I have a question. How much leverage do you employ in your trades and how do you size positions? Is it lot based or percentage?
You are inspiration of all women trader... love you ma'am
Thank you for your kind words
Very humble real professional trader. I really love watching your vlogs. Keep it up sister.
i'm glad you like the vlogs
Great vibe @Karen💪💥
hello karen, I've been watching your videos and it's opening my eyes, Im just starting to learn fundamental, can I request a video that shows like how to backtest past historic fundamental data, and where to find the information. I've been searching it at google and all that showed up is about backtesting on technical, so i need your help. Thanks for all your sharing, it really helps, and I like your videos, especially the vlog and interview with other professional trader.
Seems to me your making it into more than it is. A winner is a winner. Congrats going pro.
Great video! I watch a lot of UA-cam videos on how to trade in the market but I haven't made any headstart...What is the best strategy to take when starting off? I don't want to make any mistakes by taking risks into my own hands...any advice?
Hi, Karen
Really sorry to hear about your friend, deepest condolences.
As you have mentioned in your video about the trading notes and learning about past histories of the market, my query is that from where do you source these types of information as you yourself mentioned that these are not conventional books.
Did you sell your BMW?
Finally I received your books from Amazon, super great and happy today😊💕
happy reading~
Thank you so much:)))💕
sorry for your loss. i also lost my friend in the past. i feel you
Thanks for taking time to give us content and teaching. you are awesome!
oh my, off topic, but was kinda funny seeing karen doing the same thing as mine, when she opened the bag of chips smelling it first before eating haha. But sorry for your loss about your friend, to all those who are having difficulties in life, always find the reason to keep on going, count your blessings and appreciate always what you all have in your life. I too almost did that too due to history on mental health problems but i plunged myself into learning more about trading and used it as an outlet, and also thanks to my loving family that im slowly recovering from it. Always be grateful in life my dear friends.
Glad that you're recovering from it. On a side note, I unwrap my new books that I've bought and smell them too. Weird habit
pls tell me fundamental is important?
Thanks for showing the reality of being a trader, and truly sorry for your loss. Take care Miss Karen.
You are not the real karen foo you imposter.
I am sorry about the loss of your friend. We are never prepared for such sorrow.
What I learned is you can better learn on your time frame like London or New York depends ..
Because if you don’t you study the wrong information
Hi..Good day..Be strong...
What you watch in your trades and how do you prepare for the trade for next week
I have to make time and binge watch all the videos..They are great
Sorry for the loss of Ur friend my people have also lost God bless Ur work
Hi Karen, you stay at KSL City or Holiday Inn while in JB? At 6.45, thatz the Crystal Crown Hotel in the background with the Century Garden Foodcourt opposite it ( left side of the screen ). Over 30 food stalls with a lot of Singaporeans there at night.
I don't need to go to that hotel coz everywhere I went, there were Singaporeans. Made me feel like I'm still in singapore 💀
Why do you live in Singapore if you are from South Korea so whats the benefit to live in Singapore as a trader or in general compare to other countries?
Sultan Zamin. Racist moron.
My condolences, Karen. It is always difficult to lose a friend. Sending you much love! ;)
you are not the real karen foo you imposter!!!
This style of video is really good! It’s a great birthday present
Happy birthday!
Hi Karen Foo pls I want u to do video on Top Down analysis please?
Karen do you like durian? I'm also a trader who just start durian and avocado orchard. Life is too short, live what you love. Yolo orchard.
i don't super like it. I eat it once a year just for fun
Your video is very beautiful, everything is according to a routine, for this I send my sincere love and best wishes💝💕
Note to self, Karen didn't even mention sleeping in this vlog. I got to cut my sleeping time
Now it's time to remove that note. Coz i sleep a lot :)
Appreciate the effort you put in to show us how to be as good as you. Thank you.
You’re awesome 👏
Hi Karen, do fundamental news affect weekly or monthly time frames the most ?

Thank you so much for this and the effort you put in doing this video, and truly sorry about your friend and I get how hard it is to stay focused, but it shows now how mentally strong you are, I guess that's an important trait a trader needs. I am grinding everyday too and getting more comfortable with the aspect of trading.
Thank you for your kind words
Im so sorry for your loss😢
Lost always come in life someway, Big hug for your lost. Keep Going Karen!!
Eveytime you appear in new video ...I have feeling that you have passed or had been in the worst life stage in your life !
I enjoy your videos above all !
My teenage and early adultlife was really dark but it made me stronger
My deepest condolences to you for your friend.
Hi how are you? I felt sad after watching. I hope you feel better now.💜
super
Being I am a professional trader I learnt something from you ,lots of love Karen 😍 from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳
karen make one video on psychology books ..
❤
In my opinion research is propaganda. I mean news is propaganda. Surely trading a leveraged market you comprehend this.
Hi Karen 👋
hi :)
i'm sorry for your friend karen, be strong 🧡
Why do you read your written book? You know everything.
i wasn't reading my book 🙄
Good day ma'am. Triple gem bless you
Life is short. Take it easy just like the cheerful humbled trader. I'll say goodbye to my partner if she chose to leave me. No big issue for me.
You are not the real karen foo you imposter.
