Ep 3. Can Trading Skills Save Lives?

Trader Chats

In this episode Imran Lakha, founder of Options Insight, talks to his friend an experienced hedge fund trader named Shabs about an episode in his personal life where his trading background helped him cope under extreme pressure.

In early 2011, Shabs’s father was taken into a hospital in India and put on life support due to a serious respiratory condition. In this discussion he talks us through how he was able to maintain clarity of thought, despite the extreme emotions at play, by having a decision making process based on quantifiable data markers. This process allowed him and his family members to evaluate clearly whether or not decisions were being made in a rational way and if their father’s chances of survival were maximised.

Judge for yourself, but we conclude in this example TRADING SKILLS CAN SAVE LIVES!
