When an ex-stand up comic and boiler room salesman can master the markets, anyone can. Forget studying for a “MBA” or some other equally pointless degree… When it comes to mastering the stock markets Kenny Glick is proof that higher education...
One thing that always surprises me with professional traders is their unwavering belief on what works and what doesn’t. What surprises me most is how these beliefs almost always contradict each other. While the price action versus indicators argument is the most...
We all know the chance of getting a seat on the trading floor at one of the world’s biggest banks is harder than executing 100 winning trades in a row – so we have to look at alternatives. And today is your lucky day! While just one day on a trading floor...
One thing most aspiring traders never consider is the transition from their 9-5 job (regular income, familiar commute, earn by the hour/day) to their future life as a professional day trader (sporadic income, commute to another room in your house, earn by the outcome...
As traders there’s one major hurdle to overcome that other humans can happily ignore: You have to take away any connection with the money you are trading. After interviewing near on 200 traders I’ve found there are two ways to achieve this: Come up with...
Okay, so we’re 52 episodes in to the Trading Nut podcast and I bagged over 120 interviews with my old podcast (scarily named 52 Traders) and I started to think I’d heard it all … Until I met Mario Hennenberger that is. Mario is not only a full time...
One thing is for certain. No two markets are the same. And when it comes to something like Stock trading versus Forex trading, things couldn’t be much more different. Today’s interview with professional Stock trader Dr Thomas Carr, provided massive insight...
I simply couldn’t understand why my previous guest Louise Bedford was so desperate for me to interview her business partner and professional stock trader, Chris Tate – until I was about 5 minutes into the interview that is! Not just a world of knowledge...
When I first heard about David Keller I thought “Now here’s someone who will have a unique take on the markets”. And my hunch was spot on! To find out how David’s years in the finance field can help you as a retail trader of stocks, forex or futures (for that matter),...
Sometimes something is so good that you don’t want it to stop. That’s what it felt like during my interview with Steve Patterson – a veteran stock trader from Canada. Steve’s story is one most traders can relate to, other than the fact that...
When I get traders on I often ask them if they know of other traders I could interview. In this instance Mercedes van Essien recommended Jeremy Hills. Jeremy is not only a student of Mercedes but he’s also an NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) expert who works...
Not too long into your trading career you start the hunt for the “Holy Grail”. This is an important quest every trader goes through. Although, somewhat fruitless, it’s nevertheless important because it’s part of what I’ve come to call...
It’s funny how things come full circle. It was years ago, when I first started getting interested in Forex, that I heard of this “Inner Circle Trader”. At the time I didn’t take much notice of it, as it seemed too elusive. Fast forward 10 years...
Living right on the beach in tropical weather… Trading just an hour a day. Isn’t that the “Traders Life” we’re all striving for? We’ll Jim Brown of JagFx tells us the story of how he went from copper on the beat to trading for a...
Mercedes van Essen is now a successful Futures trader but it didn’t come easy. She eventually made it there after years of studying virtually every mindset and psychology improvement technique known to man. At a very young age, she was very fascinated by the...
While I’m on a roll releasing old, lost episodes from the former 52 Traders podcast. I thought I’d get this episode out the door too! It’s with He Shuhan (a hedge fund manager, multi millionaire trader and central bank educator). I featured him early...
After 40 episodes locked away on the Trading Nut podcast it reminded me of the goal of my original podcast: to interview 52 Traders. Then I suddenly remembered I did a wrap up interview after hitting 52 interviews. But it was only aired for a few weeks before...
One thing I’ve noticed about traders who are at the top of their game, they don’t stop learning. Even when they start consistently making money they continue to evolve and improve their approach. They just DON’T STOP! So, it makes sense to hear from these traders more...
Sometimes it takes two bites at a cherry to really get to the bottom of how someone trades. Repeat guest Richard Jackson (see EP07) left me wondering after our last interview and I wanted to get to the bottom of it. He’s the only trader I’d come across who...
