Finding Your Own Way To Trade w/ Dave Floyd In episode 39 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I interview a stock & Forex trader I really admire named Dave Floyd, the founder and head of trading at Aspen. Dave started trading in college while he was in Boston. He first read Market Wizards, a book showcasing stories of various successful traders (which I highly recommend!). The interviewed covered several topics, but one of them highly resonated with me. It is the idea of finding your own way as a trader. Once you get through the initial phase of trading, you begin to understand that copying others isn't what will help you succeed. Everybody's different and two traders almost cannot trade the exact same way. You must then find your own way as a trader. Cheat Sheet - Dave Floyd Balancing overtrading vs. not trading enough How to go through the hard learning curve of a trader: it is not about learning strategies from others. The transition between day trading and swing trading: that was a natural transition for Dave. Strategy differences between day trading and swing trading: find someone or a group that can help you in hard times and good times. The biggest mistakes for Dave as a trader: hint: the opposite of overtrading... Following your gut instinct is important but it's not necessarily for beginners. The commonalities between traders: many traders have creative endeavours according to Dave. Approaching stock vs. Forex trading: Dave uses fairly similar approaches. Why you MUST develop your own approach   What is one thing you are going to implement after listening to this podcast? Leave a comment below, or join me in the Facebook group!

5 Elements To Go From Start To Profitable Forex Trading In episode 38 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I share the 5 elements I have applied in my trading journey so far to go from scratch to profitable Forex trading. Read the whole article as I share the 5 elements with more details.   I see that a lot of aspiring Forex traders spend a lot of time looking at trading as being just entering and exiting trades. However, I know that profitable Forex trading requires more than that. Not anyone can start to trade and make money, but those who apply other elements to trading increase their chances to succeed. Cheat Sheet The 5 Elements Set your requirements: decide on the type of trading you are going to perform based on your preference and available time. Create a money management plan: decide on what is going to be your maximum risk per trade, and maximum drawdown so you never run out of money...EVER! Plan your market analysis: focus on ONE thing to trade. It's totally fine to try things and throw them away if you don't like them, but you must focus at some point. Get the right support: find someone or a group that can help you in hard times and good times. Review: review your trades to find patterns among the good/bad trades and focus more on the good to replicate it. Track everything!

A Truck Driver Who Blew Up 9 Accounts To Become A Profitable Trader w/ Ryan Herron Episode 37 of the Desire To Trade Podcast features Ryan Herron, a binary option and Forex trader. HIs story of how he became a profitable trader is very interesting due to the fact that he blew up 9 accounts but kept going. He could see a progression in his results, which made him think that by staying in trading, he would eventually make it. And he did!   During this interview, Ryan and I discussed the fact that, while most traders are looking to get rich overnight, the right amount of action over a longer period of time is required. An aspiring lawyer or doctor must go through a long education process and spend a lot of money. Why would aspiring Forex traders avoid that? Ryan mentioned the importance of focusing on ONE THING (one strategy or way of doing things). Then traders must not forget what comes after: being comfortable trading that one strategy. That strategy can be created or learned from someone else. Through backtesting, we, as traders, ensure that we know exactly what to do upon trading for real. What’s covered in the podcast? The difference between Forex and binary options How Ryan kept going after blowing up 9 accounts The steps Ryan took to learn and progress as a new trader What Ryan sees as the biggest mistake traders make (hint: adding to a losing trade) Examples of focusing on one thing to succeed And so much more...

The Development Of An Automated Trading System w/ Shaun Overton Watch the video interview! Episode 36 of the Desire To Trade Podcast features Shaun Overton, the automated trading system developer also founder of One Step Removed. Shaun started in the forex industry in 2005 working as a broker at FXCM. He led the sales effort for an automated trading fund, which led to his interest into automated trading. He then went on to create his own systems that now allow him to live off them. At the opposite of what I believed, Shaun says developing an automated trading system isn't so complicated. One must learn how to program first. Then, there's a clear process, described during the interview, anyone can follow.  Shaun spends his days researching. This is a passion for him, but his goal is to create more systems that produce positive results. He shared about the exact things he's looking at and the sort of system he has developed. Although this podcast episode appears fairly technical, there's something that can be learned by any trader. Both automated system traders and manual traders must backtest their trading plan. One of the common problem consists of backtesting only for a restricted period of time and optimizing the system for that period. The world of automated can be highly fascinating for traders with an interest for statistics and programming. For more on that topic, I recommend listening to DTTP 011: The Fascinating World of Automated Trading and checking what Shaun is doing at One Step Removed. What’s covered in the podcast? What it's like to be an automated system trader Examples of factors predicting the movement of a currency pair  The steps to develop an automated trading system The biggest mistakes made when developing an automated trading system What type of broker works best for automated system traders Best resources to learn to program And so much more...

Lessons From A Successful Forex Day Trader w/ Casey Stubbs Episode 35 of the Desire To Trade Podcast features Casey Stubbs, a Forex day trader and the man behind  Winner's Edge Trading. Casey usually starts his day around 6:30 am EST and is done with trading by noon. He specializes on trading the EUR/USD pair and uses only simple trading strategies. Upon finishing his trading day, Casey has the rest of the day for his other occupations: spending time with his family and running his website. Over the course of this podcast episode, Casey Stubbs mentioned the fact that traders must have their own trading strategies. Copying other traders' systems isn't a way to become consistently profitable. Aspiring Forex traders must firstly learn as much as possible. Then, they personalize their trading strategies. That helps a lot to stick to one strategy. As his last piece of advice, Casey mentioned the idea of trading small position sizes in order until becoming consistently profitable. Only then can Forex traders start to increase their position size. What’s covered in the podcast? The difference between simple and complicated trading strategies How Forex traders can easily get support Casey's biggest mistakes as a Forex trader The main objective for a trader (it's not making money!) What happens just before you finally stick to ONE trading strategy What keeps Casey motivated each day And so much more...

Trade With Edge w/ Mike Bellafiore Episode 34 of the Desire To Trade Podcast features Mike Bellafiore, the co-founder of SMB Capital, a well-known proprietary trading firm based in New York, USA. Mike is also the author of One Good Trade: Inside the Highly Competitive World of Proprietary Trading and The PlayBook: An Inside Look at How to Think Like a Professional Trader. SMB Capital’s trader-training program was highlighted in the TV documentary Wall Street Warriors. His firm has appeared regularly on CNBC’s Fast Money, CNNMoney, Bloomberg, and Fox Business. I first heard of Mike Bellafiore and SMB Capital through Mike's first book called One Good Trade. It describes how things are done in a proprietary trading firm and provides real stories of traders who had or hadn't what it took to thrive in this world of trading. I highly recommend the book! Mike has a lot of experience working with traders and came to understand what made them successful. He also knows what the learning process looks like for a trader. During this interview, we discussed the traits traders must develop in order to succeed. At one point, I asked Mike what advice he had for struggling traders. He pointed out something very insightful. In his opinion, traders can't start and be successful right away. Struggling is simply part of the progress. There is a process traders must follow if they want to see results. It takes time but Mike Bellafiore, without any doubts, know what it's like. What’s covered in the podcast? How Mike Bellafiore started to trade How the learning phase is broken down A great piece of advice for struggling traders The culture at SMB Capital Andrew's #1 lesson for any trader What keeps Mike motivated each day And so much more...

The Most Valuable Insights On Trading Psychology - Andrew Menaker Episode 33 of the Desire To Trade Podcast features Dr. Andrew Menaker, a highly knowledgeable and well-known psychologist in the trading world. Since 1995, Andrew has been coaching traders and top fund managers to achieve a better performance.  Being a trader himself, Andrew is frequently asked to speak at conference and is constantly being requested advices across the world.  I, personally, have been blown away by this interview. The depth of the information provided and the great interest I had in the topic made me listen very carefully to every single words spoken by Dr. Andrew Menaker on trading psychology. From the start, Andrew Menaker mentioned "no one can master trading". This is a substantial thing to understand due to the fact that most of our decision-making is made subconsciously. Those looking to become perfect traders do not have a single chance to succeed.  The next very interesting thing to note is that we, as traders, bring our own personality to trading. Two traders do not see the exact same chart the same way. In fact, "We don't see the market as it is, we see the market as we are" is a powerful statement! What’s covered in the podcast? Why no trader can master trading & what to do about it The source of our decision making The greatest ability you must develop as a trader What confidence truly is and how to get it Andrew's #1 lesson for any trader The true difference between a winning and a losing trade How to journal powerfully And so much more...  Show notes: http://www.desiretotrade.com/andrew-menaker/ Get the FREE Complete Price Action Strategy Checklist: http://www.desiretotrade.com/complete-price-action-checklist/ Get the New FREE Perfect Engulfing Pattern Cheat Sheet: http://www.desiretotrade.com/perfect-engulfing-cheat-sheet-5/

Chris Kacher Chris went on to generate triple digit percentage returns for six years in a row during the 1995-2000 period before moving to cash for most of the 2000-2002 bear market, one of the worst in history. From 1996-2001, he served as chief research analyst for William O'Neil + Company, the New York Stock Exchange member firm, institutional research provider, and publisher of Investor's Business Daily newspaper. During this period, William O'Neil hand-picked Dr. Kacher to manage a portion of the firm's proprietary capital, whereupon Dr. Kacher became a top internal portfolio manager at the company.
