Hello Traders, It was amazing to see you all in the chat today! It was my first day back after approximately 30 days of absence climbing Mount Everest. Unfortunately, despite being in an expensive hotel, my internet was too unreliable for me to broadcast my trades, but I was able to finally catch a nice […]

Hello Traders, I hope you are all well and have been trading safely this week. I am in Bali, Indonesia for a week-long retreat to decompress and rest before I head back to Vancouver to start trading and working again. I am still processing the experience I had on Everest and working to become a different […]

Hello Traders, Ardi here, writing on behalf of Andrew. First off, let me give you all an update on Andrew’s journey. He is in great spirits and making his push to Camps 2 and 3. This is his second attempt at these camps and hopefully the weather conditions, in addition to his stamina, will give […]

Hello Traders, I am writing to you from Camp 1 of Mount Everest! My plan is to go back up to Camp 2, and then Camp 3, for another round of climatization today. This year’s weather has been particularly uncooperative, resulting in a delay in placing the fixed rope necessary for the Mount Everest summit. In […]

I hope you are all doing well and trading safe. I have some personal updates for you from my journey on Everest. I have now made my initial push to Camp 3. It was one of the most challenging things I have done in my life. The weather is so cold, you can feel your […]

Hello Traders, Tonight is the night! My Sherpa and I will be heading up toward Camp 3 (which is at 7,000 m (23,000 ft)) in order to drop off oxygen tanks and some supplies, and then we will be coming back down. We will be crossing the famous Khumbu Icefall that has taken so many […]

Hello Traders, I am writing this newsletter from the Base Camp of Mount Everest. So much is going on in the market, I feel that I chose the worst time to go to Everest, but hey, we cannot time everything perfectly. I am feeling at peace here and I am ready to make the push […]

I have some exciting news to share with you all. I have reached the base camp of Everest. It is nothing new to me as I was here in 2015 when the earthquake first hit and stopped me from going up Mount Everest. Hopefully this time around, I can make it all the way. In […]

Hello Traders, Ardi here, writing on behalf of Andrew. As you all know, Andrew is pursuing his dream of climbing Mount Everest. I spoke with him yesterday and he is now in great spirits and ready to conquer his goal! Here is a picture of Andrew from earlier in the week, on his first attempt […]

Dear Traders, The past few days were extremely hard in the mountains. The cold was like no other experience I have had, and Mera Peak was extremely tough on me! The image below is exhausted me, trying to make it to the most difficult peak I have encountered. I have climbed so many high altitude […]

Dear Traders, In the past few days, I have learned so many lessons from Mother Nature, and I have had the opportunity to reflect much on my life. Camping at Mera Peak, beside the icefalls, has been a beautiful and unforgettable experience. Looking at the campsite, you can see that we are at the edge […]

Dear Traders, I miss trading with you all! But here is a very exciting update on my Mount Everest hike so far: The other day I flew to Lukla, which is at 2,800 m (9,200 ft), and stayed there for one night, and then I flew to a small village in the Mahakali Zone named Khar, […]

Dear Traders,  Hello from Nepal!  I have landed at the most dangerous airport in the world! Lukla Airport is located between the mountains and is called “the most dangerous airport in the world”. The reason being is its geographical location. Lukla’s airport is on a mountainside, at an altitude of 2,830 meters (9,285 feet), and […]
