The decision to trade while taking The Self-Made Trader course is entirely personal. Some students continue trading while applying new concepts as they learn them, while others prefer to step back temporarily and rebuild their trading foundation from the ground up. Both approaches can work – but it depends on your current trading style and comfort with making adjustments to your existing strategy. What matters most is that you give yourself the space to properly absorb and implement the course material in a way that best suits your learning style.
