About Sarah Chen

Sarah spent fourteen years in the compliance and risk departments of two of Canada's largest banks before leaving to teach. She watched traders at every level make the same mistakes repeatedly, not because they didn't understand markets, but because they didn't understand risk. She started writing about forex education to fill what she saw as a genuine gap: content that treats risk management as the core skill it is, rather than an afterthought in a chapter near the back. Her style is methodical and patient. She never assumes her readers know something they haven't been told. Before finance, she studied psychology at the University of British Columbia, and that background shapes how she writes about the emotional side of trading, which she considers just as important as the technical side.
