Three years into this experience in market analysis, he was accredited by prominent figures both in the Middle East and internationally.
After working for several media outlets, Atif's passion for financial markets prompted him to join a number of Forex brokers as a content creator, market analyst and consultant. In 2022, he spoke at the Egypt FinExpo on behalf of Startrader, an offshore Forex broker.
To this day, Atif consults for prominent brokers in the Middle East. He's also active on X and YouTube.
