In this segment of the YouTube video, Kardex Trader warns beginners against the unrealistic expectation of earning a living from trading immediately. He outlines a two‑phase approach: first, dedicate time to learning the fundamentals of trading before attempting to profit; second, focus on accumulating capital through side work such as freelancing, night shifts, pooling savings, and cutting expenses. The speaker shares his personal experience of using these methods to build the financial base needed for serious trading, emphasizing disciplined capital building over quick‑fix income expectations.

This should be your goal if you are starting, first of all, and should not be, I want to live out of trading tomorrow. If you go to university, okay, you cannot expect a degree after 6 months. You need to learn. The phase 1 is to learn, then to work to scale capital. And this is what they don't like, okay? I did freelancing, I did night shift, I did everything, okay? I started in pooling all my money, lowering the expense that I had to build capital to do it.
