Does anyone else in Dubai find trading a lonely journey?

Question

I've been living and working in Dubai while trading the markets for the past 4 years.

One thing I've realized is that trading can be a very lonely journey. Most days it's just you, your charts, and your own psychology. Sometimes the biggest challenge isn't the market—it's your own mind.

I was just wondering if anyone else here in Dubai is actively trading (Forex, Gold, Indices, etc.).

How do you deal with the isolation? Have you found any local communities, meetups, or ways to stay accountable?

I'd genuinely be interested to hear other traders' experiences.
