How verifiable is this story?
Damn,I wish I had the talent. With how much money did he start with?
"My main markets now are Crude Oil futures and Gold futures and I trade small to mid-cap equities when the futures don’t present a good trade. I trade mainly based on volatility and volume. My strategy revolves around price-action trading and some macro."

Not sure how much he started with. But let's hope he can maintain momentum.
I don't buy this story. He looks like one of those Instagram fx trader scam guys lol.
I'm buying the story--even though it is from the NY Post.
The kid needs to meet me :P i am in queens. i did similar numbers in 2010. Took my fx account from 10k to 244K in a month had i some defense, i'd have similar numbers to Mr. Islam here. I'd love to work for the HF..i'll manage the Spot FX side of business.

.....
Journalism is dead.
He'll always be known as that guy
