Описание: From Janitor to Forex Legend | Akil Stokes on Price Action, Trading Psychology & Trading Success

Akil Stokes went from working three jobs as a janitor, track coach, and special-needs aide to becoming one of the world’s most respected Forex trading mentors.

In this episode of Talk With Sapna, Akil Stokes — co-founder of Tier One Trading and host of The Trading Coach Podcast (1200+ episodes) — shares powerful insights on price action trading, trading psychology, discipline, and why most traders fail.

But his journey didn’t begin with success.

After graduating in 2007 during the global recession, Akil struggled to make ends meet while working three jobs at once. Late at night, he began studying Forex charts, trying to understand how financial markets really work.

What started as curiosity slowly turned into skill, discipline, and eventually a global trading education platform.


This conversation breaks down price action strategies, trading mindset, and practical lessons every beginner trader should know.
