Not completely new to Trading Nut, Diego Torres (cousin of EP130 Rodrigo Torres) is a Portfolio Manager at Funding Provider and Educator, City Traders Imperium. And he’s been featuring on the Trading Nut live streams for the past few weeks, starting things off picking a 10R trade on his first stream!
Today you’ll hear Diego’s trading journey which takes him through almost every single part of the industry. From trading on the floors at prop firms to trading at hedge funds.
These days Diego is trading his own take on Smart Money Concepts, which he calls Bank Level Trading. And you can see it in action in the video we shot after the interview.
