Desire To Trade Podcast | Forex Trading & Interviews with Highly Successful Traders: Recent Episodes
Etienne Crete - Traveling Forex Trader
My name is Etienne Crete, and I love the idea of trading Forex for a living but I was fed up with the non-applicable tips and sayings that get you nowhere. So I created a place where aspiring Forex traders can learn a solid process that will get them results and won’t let them down.
The Desire To Trade Podcast has for goal to help you develop Forex trading skills for more freedom. I interview successful traders from around the world. My focus is on providing you with lessons from my personal trading experience and my conversations as I trade and travel around the globe.
What It Takes To Become a Millionaire Trader In episode 512 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, we will be listening to the recording of an interview with legendary trader, Tim Sykes, to discuss what it takes to become a millionaire trader. Tim emphasizes the dangers of trading with leverage—especially short selling—and warns against prioritizing profit milestones over trading discipline. He encourages traders to build their “knowledge account” before risking capital, stressing that trading is more about structure and patience than aggressive action. Drawing parallels between trading and golf, he explains that forcing outcomes often backfires, as the market doesn't reward desire—it rewards preparation and consistency. His goal is to help students use trading as a tool to build a life, not become trapped by it.
The video is also available for you to watch on YouTube.

How To Trade Forex Like A PRO (even if you're not profitable yet!) In episode 309 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I cover how to trade Forex like a pro and get more consistent results. There are 3 reasons why you don't make profits now: your strategy, your execution, or the market.
Questions that saved my trading and helped me trade Forex like a pro:
1. Do you have a tested plan?
2. Do you follow your plan and manage your trades according to it?
3. Have you added a ton of factors to your strategy to make it work?
4. If you backtested the past few months of live trading, would your results be the same?

Losing A Fortune & Making It Back With Trading In episode 270 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I sit down with Scott Andrews. This trader has an amazing story of struggles followed by great success.
Scott first made his fortune in tech prior to the Dot-Com bubble in the 2000s. He then saw his net worth go down with the market crash, which is what led him to trading. Although he was lucky in his first year, Scott saw his account very quickly and needed to develop the right skills in order to continue his journey toward becoming a successful fund manager.
More about Scott Andrews
Scott Andrews is Co-founder and CEO of InvestiQuant, Inc. and oversees all company operations. In 2008, Mr. Andrews founded Master The Gap, Inc. where he gained recognition helping self-directed investors use intraday trading techniques to navigate the 2008-2009 financial crisis and take advantage of its extraordinary volatility. In 2010 he and his fellow co-founder, David Skowron, began assembling trading systems to create more accurate market forecasts. In 2015, the company was renamed InvestiQuant and collaborated with Duke University’s Center for Quantitative Modeling to evolve its predictive analytic models.

What's most interesting about his trading style is that he is usually done trading by 9:30 am and has the rest of the day to concentrate on his research.

Scaling Up Trading With A Business In episode 254 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I interview full-time trader and business owner Siam Kidd. He shares how he's been able to create financial freedom and a great lifestyle through his own trading.
Siam has a very interesting story of how he transitioned into trading and how he had to learn to trade the hard way. Trading the daily chart, Siam Kidd spends a great majority of his time building businesses.
In short, Siam has used Forex trading as part of its other streams of income to become financially independent. His trading takes on from 5 to 10 minutes a day on average, which means that Siam has enough time to concentrate on other interests/passions/businesses.
Throughout this interview, Siam placed a lot of emphasis on the fact that replacing a full-time job with full-time trading is none sense. The goal of Forex trading is to increase the freedom in your life, and Siam Kidd sees trading as a stream of income.

The Master Of Trading Mindset In episode 232 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I interview Khaled Maziad. He is a Civil Engineer from Sydney, Australia turned trader and coach specializing in the mindset and emotional aspects of trading. This focus on the Mindset, mental capacity, and emotional intelligence helped him achieve success in trading.
In the interview, he gives some great tips on how to improve your trading mindset and turn your trading around.
Here is a small highlight from our guest Khaled Maziad:
Trading is where I faced my dark side and went through a transformational process to the person who I would like to become.
I realized that traditional trading psychology has flaws as it only focuses on trading. I use a holistic approach based on emotional intelligence and neuroscience to help traders gain mental clarity and emotional balance.
Although researching about Psychology, Neuroscience, and Emotional Intelligence is my passion, I am not a psychologist, and I'm a professional Civil Engineer.

Trade News in Forex & Understand Volatility Have you ever tried to trade news?
Personally I have.
This goes back to 2015...
"Why?", you may ask.
Because that myth is HUGE out there.
News releases happen fast and seeing profits quickly satisfies our brains.
But what if I told you that trading after news releases could be even more profitable than during?
Indeed, trading news has its many challenges:
- Wide & varying spreads
- Ambiguous reaction from the market
- Delay in getting the info (banks & institutions know the results ahead of you)
So I'm not saying it's impossible, but I believe there's a better way to use news.
And recently, I sat down with Chris Weston, Investment Manager at Pepperstone.
I wanted him to tell me and share with you how he's personally using news.
We obviously go over how to trade news and the kind of stuff you can expect from any news release.
You'll also get to learn about volatility...
...and what to do when it's generally high in the Forex market.
I cannot stress enough how important it is to be prepared for all situations.
This is a great episode to listen/watch for that!

1) Choose your pairs/ indices wisely
2) Add more things you understand to your trading playbook

In episode 228 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I sit down with Chris Weston, Investment Manager for Pepperstone.
We discuss how you can understand currency pairs and stock market indices in order to boost your returns for the next 12 months.
Truth is, diversifying the instruments you trade can lead to a big improvement...
...not all strategies work on the same currency pairs or indices.

Ultimate Full-Time Trading Truths & Motivation In episode 213 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I interview full-time Forex trader Merlin De Santis whom I met in Bangkok, Thailand and more recently in his trader villa in Bali.
Merlin is a young entrepreneur who started a business when he was 18. He was introduced to forex trading by his friends and since then he was hooked. He sold his business to pursue trading and he now spends most of his time traveling, trading and meeting traders around the world.

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.
As some of you may know Mike and SMB Capital help sponsor Traders4ACause which is a charitable organization focused on value. They make a yearly conference in Las Vegas in which all proceeds are donated to a set of charities.

Anyone Can Trade For A Living In episode 190 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I sit down in Hong Kong with professional with fund manager Ray Barros in Hong Kong 1 year after our initial interview.
A lawyer by profession and training, Ray gave up his lucrative law practice in the 1980s to focus on his first love – trading. His initial attempts at trading failed miserably and he suffered heavy losses.
But, after making all the mistakes in a trader’s manual and then some, Ray finally hit on a trading approach that gives him the market edge.
This approach has proven effective in both trending and congested markets, allowing him to trade profitably and consistently.
Thereafter, he was highly sought after by major banks to manage their funds.
At the same time, he was also very much sought after as a trainer to train other institutional traders based on the strategies and techniques he developed.
In the early 1990s, he became an outsourced FX Trader and this gave him the flexibility to focus his next great passion – teaching.

I thought it was only about risking money on a trade to be able to trade for the long-term—but there’s a lot more to it. Michael is the one who has probably studied this topic the most. Traders like him kind of have a way of doing things that are special and so I wanted to bring him back. Michael has been in episode 40 of the podcast as well as a few episodes after that.
In this podcast, we went even more broad in that episode to talk about not only risk management but also trading strategies, how he trades, what things he looks for and how he has been able to get a lot of money trading for other people.

Successful Trading Mindset Challenges (scale to $10,000/month) In episode 154 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I am bringing back full-time day trader and psychology coach Mandi Pour Rafsendjani.
We talk about 5 mindset challenges that people face when they want to scale their trading to $10,000 a month. This is a big number and it’s a goal that a lot of people want to achieve. I have seen these mindset challenges for myself that I had to push them away over time. They didn’t change in a day, they didn’t change in a week, but I had to work on those. If you aspire to get to the $10,000 mark per month, this is exactly what you have to work on.
I encourage you to listen to this carefully and make some notes on what you have to work on, then listen back in, let’s say, three months from now (90 days). Ask yourself what have you done, what have you improved on, and what can you work on. That will be amazing and that will be a great way to get value from this.

Trent is a financial market professional with global experience. He believes in honesty and hard work, which in my opinion are the staples of good business. Hard work will see tasks and objectives through, while honesty is the staple of long-term relationships. These two practices have allowed Trent to achieve success as a runner, commodities trader, and a broker.
Trent Hoerr was also featured in episode 29 of the podcast on choosing your Forex broker.
He works for Forest Park FX...
With an experienced staff of industry professionals, Forest Park FX specializes in creating custom FX brokerage and trading solutions for retail traders, service providers, institutional traders, money managers and hedge funds.
Forest Park FX offers a wide variety of value-adding services, including market access through the world's top Forex brokers, cash back rebates for retail traders, built-to-specification trading algorithms, administrative and operational support for money managers and customized liquidity for hedge funds and high volume traders.
I decided to bring back Trent on the show as he's one of the most knowledgeable persons I know to discuss Forex brokers.
With the new regulations being applied in Europe (July 2018) and other brokers stopping their services to Canadian residents, I thought it would be great to get a new perspective on how to choose the best Forex broker again if you've been impacted by these recent events.

How To Trade Forex Like The Banks In episode 150 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I interview Forex trader Tony Sycamore on how to trade Forex like the banks.
This week’s episode is a follow-up to a first episode I recorded a few months ago (in episode 103).
After his career as an institutional trader, he moved on to trade for himself and is now getting some partnership with different companies.
In this podcast, Tony shares how people trade in banks. If you've been wondering what kind of things people look at institutional traders, Tony is the perfect person to answer that.
What I really like about Tony is the fact that he has a whole process when he looks at trades and he goes through a series of steps including looking at the big picture and looking at the context in which he’s going to trade. That’s something I think everyone should apply.
I personally got, once again, a lot of value from this interview and I’m sure you’ll do the same.
Topics Covered In This Episode * Who Tony is and what he does [2:18] * Tony’s trading style [5:17] * What other things Tony looks at in terms of candlesticks [8:19] * Changes or things that Tony does differently since going from trading in big institutions [11:33] * Having three positions or dividing into parts [17:54] * Minimizing your risk [22:15] * Tony’s routine and what he does on a daily basis [23:29] * Specific stories Tony looks at [23:29] * Having the right resources and using it [29:15] * Technical analysis and where the value is in trades [35:07] * Overall situations or issues that Tony trades on [37:01] * Tony’s Technical Analysis Report [39:19] * Putting stop-losses and profit targets [42:17]

Stocks Trader Routines & Strategies To Get Wealthy In episode 148 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I interview Jerremy Newsome, CEO and co-founder of RealLifeTrading in the US. I interviewed him a few episodes back (Episode 113) but today we go more in detail into what he trades, the strategies and also the routine he follows on a daily basis.
In this podcast, one topic we touch on in this interview which I think we never talked about before, is what does it take to become wealthy from trading. This is major because you cannot just trade day to day and become a wealthy trader. The definition of being wealthy, as Jeremy says, is “being able to make money while you sleep” -- and that won’t happen with trading most of the time.

Master Forex Trading: Learn How To Manage Your Time In episode 136 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I discuss with Mandi Pour Rasfendjani an uncommon technique to master Forex trading.
I've got to discover over the years that the best way to master anything is to learn how to master your time.
That's what we're talking about in this episode. I get a lot of people reaching out saying they're "too busy". The truth is, we all have the same 24 hours.
You've got the same number of seconds each day as Oprah Winfrey, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, etc. No more no less.
What you do with your time ultimately determines who you are...
That's why we're diving in the topic this week!

From A Lucrative Job To Professional Trader And Fund Manager In episode 135 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I sit down in Hong Kong with professional trader, fund manager, author, and educator Ray Barros.
A lawyer by profession and training, Ray gave up his lucrative law practice in the 1980s to focus on his first love – trading. His initial attempts at trading failed miserably and he suffered heavy losses.
But, after making all the mistakes in a trader’s manual and then some, Ray finally hit on a trading approach that gives him the market edge.
This approach has proven effective in both trending and congested markets, allowing him to trade profitably and consistently.
Thereafter, he was highly sought after by major banks to manage their funds.
At the same time, he was also very much sought after as a trainer to train other institutional traders based on the strategies and techniques he developed.
In the early 1990s, he became an outsourced FX Trader and this gave him the flexibility to focus his next great passion – teaching.

Paul spent a great amount of time trying to understand how banks were involved in the Forex market. That involved looking at price action.
This work allowed Paul to work for major European and UK banks.
He got introduced to the market after developing an interest in horse racing bets.
That, although trading is fairly different in various ways, helped Paul develop a sense of probabilities that served him in his trading career.

Can You Make Easy Money Trading Forex? – Show Notes In episode 129 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I am sitting down with psychology coach Mandi Pour Rafsendjani to re-calibrate expectations & tackle the issue of making easy money trading Forex.
Is that even possible?
Well, there are things that must be said...
I've got to understand that it is much more rewarding to develop the right habits from the start, as opposed to being focused on making easy money trading Forex at first.
A big shift for me happened when I started to accept having an average trading strategy instead of researching for the perfect one. Truth is: it'll probably be impossible to find a perfect strategy. An average one (as long as it's strong) will probably get you ahead more than you expected it.

5 Big Forex Trading Lessons On Trading Success – Show Notes In episode 114 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I go solo to share 5 trading lessons I learned while hosting the podcast in the last 2+ years. After all the guests interviewed, I felt it was time to reflect a little and point out thing that you can take action on.
Watch the video on Youtube!
Summary - 5 Big Forex Trading Lessons On Trading Success #1: Being Clear On Your Goal When I started to trade, I had absolutely no idea of where I was heading. The only thing I cared about what to become profitable.
However, what I didn't realized is that I could have speed up the process by defining a goal and identifying the actions needed to reach that goal.
Most often, massive success in trading involves other activities such as reaching out to people, testing thing, collecting data, etc. Those can be done early to boost your growth as a trader.
#2: Returns (%) Are Irrelevant Judging a trader by its returns is a poor way to go about it.
I used to think that my job was to find the "best trading strategy for the best return".
However, there are two simple things we can do in trading to increase returns (and or money) we make:
- Increase your trading capital
- Increase slightly your risk
What truly matters isn't the return percentage per say. It's the consistency with whatever return you are getting.
1% per month can be easily boosted to 2% return per month, and eventually 8% per month.
#3: Master-Focus Gets You Results Mastery in any discipline comes through mastering every part.
Unfortunately, it's impossible (and counter-productive) to learn about all the parts at once.
If you want to see success quicker in trading, you must master one part at a time.
That might mean taking a course on what you need to learn most right now and putting all your energy on that.
Then once you see results, you move to the next thing you need to master.
If you're not sure what to work on today, you can ask yourself: "What is important for me to master now?" or "What do I struggle with the most at the moment?"
#4: Awareness Is A MUST Awareness has multiple components in trading
Your energy level
If you trade on low energy, you make more mistakes.
Self-image
Whatever you see yourself as will eventually become true.
Yourself
What are you best at? What do you need to work on the most right now?
If you become aware of yourself, you can decide which direction to go and what to focus on.
#5: Keep The Routines Going At All Costs Routines in trading are powerful.
I discovered (the hard way) however that routines easily fall apart once you start traveling while trading.
A change in environment can be tough to remain consistent in your actions.
That's why I now do my best to establish new routines - similar to the ones at home - as soon as I get to a new place.
I make sure I have a process to get in the right state of mind, note down my trades, and review everything I trade.
I’d love if you can take a few seconds to leave a review on iTunes or Stitcher. Let me know honestly what you think of the podcast because the only way I can improve is through your reviews.

My 6 Key Lessons From This Episode A Trading Strategy Is Built By Combining Things From Various Sources/People I believe that there's a common path most Forex traders go through. They start to trade and take pieces from other traders they meet over time.
Very rarely you will find a trader who just copied someone else and then became successful.
That's why you might need to invest in many courses & coaches before jumping to full-time trading.
The key is to keep building things over time. I never regretted investing in myself because I always got a new lesson I hadn't got before.
Find/Use Indicators That Make Sense To You Some traders love indicators. Some traders hate them.
What I think is essential is to find things that make sense to you.
Trading using the Bollinger Bands makes sense to me, but that doesn't mean I'll use them forever. You must be willing to adapt.
The thing is, you'll discover pretty quickly whether the tools you use to trade are right for you or not.
Adopt A 'Continuous Progress' Mindset For me, it doesn't matter if I fail a little or if I don't perform as I expected it.
That's because I come into trading, business & life with a 'continuous progress mindset'.
If you screw up today, don't think about how bad it is. Instead, think of how you can make things better. Be action-focused & keep your eyes on where you're heading!
Listen: 034: Trade With An Edge & Growth Mindset - Mike Bellafiore
Hang Out With Other Traders To Overcome Hard Times Without any doubts, the thing that helped me the most in improving my trading was hanging out with more traders.
I started to trade by myself and stayed by myself for roughly the first 2 years. Then, I began going to Meetups & events. I started the podcast.
Those were occasions for me to get bits of advice from the people who had achieved what I wanted to achieve. I can't urge you enough to do that.
The key when you want to surround yourself with more traders and/or successful people is to add value. Don't try to gain/take from other people. Honestly, provide value and you'll be amazed by what you get out of it!
Being Convinced A Trade Is Right = Worst Trading Mistake During the interview, I share an example of one of worst trades (taken on the SPX500). That was in 2013, I believe.
At the time, I was completely sold on this trade and found all the reasons why it would work out. I kept adding to the trade, and of course, it didn't work out.
Look At Your Results At Intervals Of 10-20 Trades Only A few months ago, I began sharing my trading results on this blog.
I think that was a mistake, but let me explain...
The results of a month's trading aren't significant if you only took 5-10 trades that month. It doesn't really show whether your stats are accurate because your sample size isn't big enough.
I intend to keep sharing my trading results but will do so only at intervals of 20 trades. This will be a better opportunity to go back and re-evaluate whether those 20 trades respect the typical statistics of my trading strategy.
You should do the same when looking at your results. Don't look at your stats after every trade!

5 Key Lessons From This Episode The Market Brings Money From The Impatient To The Patient Patient traders are usually those who get most rewarded by the market. I have seen this personally over time.
Read: How To Cultivate Patience As A Trader
Listening Recommendations From Non-Traders Is Usually A Bad Idea The next time a family member tells you about a "hot stock" to buy, think about it twice.
I never got any results in Forex trading by copying people, and that works in all fields.
Do Not Follow The Majority In alignment with the previous lesson, following the majority is rarely the way to go in trading & investing.
Most people do not know what they are doing and are acting out of emotion.
Remember Sam Walton's quote?
"If everybody is doing it one way, there's a good chance you can find your niche by going exactly in the opposite direction." - Sam Walton
Wait For Your Great Trade Setup While you cannot always wait for the perfect trade setup in the market, the best you can do is usually to wait for a great trade setup.
The market does not produce great trade setups at all times. That's why patience is important.
I recommend writing down the things that make your setup great. For me, taking trades at key support & resistance levels typically transform an average setup into a great setup.
Diversify - Do Not Go All-In On Trade Proper risk management in trading requires that you do not put all your money on one single trade. This is one of the simplest ways to avoid blowing up your trading account.

How To Make A Living Trading Multiple Markets – Show Notes In episode 108 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I interview Steve Patterson, one of the top proprietary traders based in Toronto, Canada. As someone trading the markets for 37 years, he came on the podcast to talk about how to make a living trading multiple markets.
More About Steve Patterson
Steve Patterson has experience working in the world's largest firms, prop firms, stock broker and floor trader. During his work life, he has seen 3 market crashes and multiple Bull and Bear market cycles.
Now he knows everything about how to master the markets and trade profitably through all environments, which makes him a very interesting guest.

10 Key Takeaways From This Episode 1. Keep Things Simple, But Not Too Simple While some strategies found online seem ultra-simplistic, there will always be an aspect that makes trading not so simple.
For instance, a candlestick pattern by itself is not likely to produce a positive return by itself. You must add rules to limit the trading you'll do (i.e. concentrate on the best setups). That's what I believe is meant by keeping thing simple, but not too simple.
One thing I'm personally a big fan of is to use the Market Phase to determine whether my trade setup appears in the right context.
Read: Successful Price Action Trading In 3 Steps
- You Take Out Of Trading What You Put Into It As you've probably heard before, Forex trading is a field in which you should spend more time working on becoming better than actually trading.
After all, you are competing against the top traders of this world, algorithmic systems, and technology. If that doesn't motivate you to work harder, I don't know what will do it...
I have seen how much you get rewarded for the work you put in outside trading hours. Those hours spent backtesting, researching, journaling, etc. eventually pay!
- Pick The Market In Which You Have An Edge What's interesting about Steve Patterson's style of trading is that he decides in advance what market he is going to trade. By sticking to a market for a certain period, he ensures that he trades where there is sufficient volatility.
Although Steve doesn't watch the news, that much, he notices where things are likely to happen through fundamental analysis.
- Use Fundamental Analysis For Your View Of The Market Steve mentions early in the episode that he is bearish on the S&P500 since the beginning of August 2017 all the way to the date of the recording (August 17th, 2017).
That was, in part, due to multiple companies missing earning estimates in the recent earning season. He noticed a theme.
He gets to answer: "Is the smart money buying or is the smart money taking profit?"
-
Never Fight An Existing Trend One of Steve's key lesson to his students is to never fight an existing trend. Instead, he mentions the interesting fact that it is easier to go with the trend instead of going against it - even if the trend is about to end.
-
Indicators Alone Aren't Producing Results When trading any market, most new traders rely on indicators. I have personally seen how poorly some indicator-only trading strategies perform over the long-run. You can rarely expect consistency unless you add in many filters to your trades.
I have personally seen how poorly some indicator-only trading strategies perform over the long-run. You can rarely expect consistency unless you add in many filters to your trades.
As Steve mentions it, most people don't know why certain indicators/patterns/ work well in certain conditions and not in others.
That is something you must take into consideration and be able to adapt when you notice a change.
- Recognize When The Market Is NOT Chaotic Steve and I spend most of our time saying "No" to trade setups because they happen in the wrong environment - a chaotic market. What's more important is being able to detect when a specific setup is likely to work out.
What's more important is being able to detect when a specific setup is likely to work out.
- Develop Patience Patience always pays. After asking Steve about his best advice for traders looking to trade only the Forex market, he replied: "learn to develop patience".
He added to that: "learn to identify the best setups."
- Stay Optimistic Trading is probably the field in which it's the hardest to stay optimistic - speaking from experience here. :)
However, all the results I got in trading occurred when I was optimistic. You must find something to get you back on track when things don't go as planned. My personal resource is listening from inspiring traders on the Desire To Trade Podcast.
- Coaching Will Set You Apart From Other Traders When Steve started to work in institutions, he followed an existing trader for several weeks to learn the details of the job.
I have personally seen a lot more success when I made the decision to invest in coaching.

The Psychology Of Success In Trading – Show Notes In episode 107 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I interview Silke Glaab, a psychologist based in Dubai. She has been trained to guide people to have it All: success, fulfilling work and money - and romantic love, a great partnership, and family.
Silke accepted to come on the show to share some of the principles surrounding the psychology of success in trading.
More specifically, we tackle the 5 steps to staying vibrant and energized all day as a trader throughout the interview. Those can be applied to anyone in any market!
More About Silke Glaab
She completed a Master Degree in Psychology from Munich University with a Cross-Cultural experience and 15 year Training and Advisory career with positions held as Training Manager at T-Online for Technical and Customer Care Support, Research Assistant at Psychiatry Ulm for Quality Assessment and as Project Consultant for German International Cooperation (GIZ) in Kenya prior coming to Dubai.
With her profound knowledge in NLP Master Coaching and Hypnotherapy (Marisa Peer method), she can assist you to elevate your brain power, change limiting beliefs of your subconscious mind and release stuck energy in minutes so that you can align your personal goals with our highest mission!
I’d love if you can take a few seconds to leave a review on iTunes or Stitcher. Let me know honestly what you think of the podcast because the only way I can improve is through your reviews.
Share This! "Breathe, because it's powerful." - Silke Glaab
Key Takeaways From This Episode (provided by Silke) Keep Your Perception Fresh It is the ability to become aware of something through the senses. However, there are millions of sensual information reaching your brain every second.
The actual perception is a distortion of the all the incoming data and is linked to already stored information and expectations. And we're not consciously aware of that.
So, if you're checking on the same charts every day your brain compares the incoming info with already existing info and matches it. This can lead to misinterpretations of new info.
How To Improve: Challenge your brain by changing your routine all over, include breaks and stay focused for at least 20 minutes.
Feelings & Thoughts Work Together A thought is an idea or opinion produced by thinking(about yourself, others, trading, the world) or occurring suddenly in your mind.
The quality of the thought depends on your biology, your emotional state you're in. It can be triggered by incoming information from the environment (senses) or from inside your body (feeling).
Stressful or incongruent situations create chaos in your brain and as a result making it impossible to think clearly or to come up with new and creative solutions.
When you change the context (emotional state) in which thoughts emerge, you can change the quality of the thought.
Further, 95% of our thoughts are subconscious and they're running their programs in the background.Therefore, affirmations often do not work, because they target the conscious mind.
A feeling is a conscious awareness what's going on in your body. Like with anger, your heart beat goes up, blood pressure rises, muscles tense up, your attention narrows. Often you're not aware. And you're still thinking what you're thinking and doing what you're doing and it's not your best performance. Feeling and thinking are interrelated. A negative thought results in a negative feeling and negative feeling results in a negative thought.
And you're still thinking what you're thinking and doing what you're doing and it's not your best performance. Feeling and thinking are interrelated.
A negative thought results in a negative feeling and negative feeling results in a negative thought.
How To Improve: Uncover your limiting beliefs and change them in an instant and reprogramme your mind in minutes with Psych-K.
Emotions & Awareness Emotions are energy in motion. The result of all physiological inputs creates an emotion in the brain.
How To Improve: Become aware of your feelings throughout the day to navigate them throughout the day. Take control of your emotions and shift your emotion towards the flow zone of passion, focus, determination, containment, and curiosity. Move away from anger, frustration, anxiety, boredom, detachment. Methods: Breath, Label and Embrace your feelings, Bilateral stimulation...
Listen: The Most Valuable Insights On Trading Psychology - Andrew Menaker
Control Your Physiology Physiology is a stream of date from all physical and chemical processes in a living organism to the brain.
How To Improve: Control your physiological state to get an instant grip on your emotional state towards a flow state and become crazy productive by controlling your BREATH. Dr. Alan Watkins recommends a Breath which is Rhythmic, Even, And Through your Heart. Other things are sleep, exercise, nutrition.

What Makes A Great Discretionary Trader – Show Notes Show notes: http://www.desiretotrade.com/106/
Recorded on July 24th, 2017
In episode 106 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I interview discretionary trader Will Hunting who, like many traders, describes the early years as a series of ‘humbling’ experiences.
Will Hunting started a journal recording simple techniques and market observations which allowed him to trade successfully and develop a hobby into a career.
Some of that journey was documented in public forums dedicated to trader education.
He has helped hundreds of traders new and veteran alike to build solid foundations in technical analysis, price behavior, market psychology & critically the ability to make sensible decisions.
Having delivered double digit returns for many years he has been featured in trade publications and is one of the UK’s most well-known independent retail forex traders.
Key Takeaways From This Episode Learning From Every Trader You Meet
One major thing I got from this interview is the idea that we, as Forex traders, take lessons from all the other traders we meet. The trading strategy I currently trade, although it is unique to me, is based on different little things I learned from different people.
A Twist On The Risk-To-Reward
Another major discussion concerned reward-to-risk. Although a lot of traders see a loss in trading as the "cost of doing business", Will reminds that we can add criteria to avoid taking as many loss. That will make the drawdowns much smaller.
Following The Way That Makes Sense To YOU
As discussed throughout this interview, Will Hunting has a discretionary trading style that differs from most traders previously interviewed.
That, however, makes sense to him and that is a very important part of the equation of success in trading. A trader that doesn't use something that makes sense to him will never trade at its optimal performance.
I’d love if you can take a few seconds to leave a review on iTunes or Stitcher. Let me know honestly what you think of the podcast because the only way I can improve is through your reviews.

The Fascinating Story Of An Institutional Forex Trader – Show Notes In episode 103 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I interview Forex trader Tony Sycamore, an ex-institutional trader with a fascinating story in the market.
Watch the video interview with Tony Sycamore
Tony started studying technical analysis more than 20 years ago while working for Macquarie Bank on the floor of the Sydney Futures Exchange (SFE). That was where Tony’s passion for the markets was fuelled.
In 2003, his ongoing study of markets and technical analysis enabled him to become part of the Proprietary Trading Group at Goldman Sachs. Tony was fortunate enough to learn from working with and watching some of the best financial minds in the business. Trading mainly foreign exchange (FX), he posted strong returns on capital, in particular in 2007 and 2008, before leaving the firm in 2009 to transition into FX sales with BNP Paribas (BNPP). He has spent the last five years at Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA).
While at CBA and BNPP, Tony wrote and published the Weekly FX Technical Report containing technical analysis, trade ideas, and opinions. The report earned a strong following from a variety of clients, including fund managers, hedge funds, balance sheets, central banks and large corporates all over the world.
I personally found it very interesting to speak with Tony and to discover more about the world of an institutional Forex trader and how Tony was able to make his mark in it.

In episode 95 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I interview Rauan Khassan, a hard-working Forex trader who has been involved in the market since 2011. Rauan has been through the various steps of successful Forex trading, and has been able to get to a level where he trades other people's money.
In September 2015, Rauan joined TradingView, a leading social trading network that unites more than 1,500,000 traders online, where he oversees regional versions development.
In this interview, we tackle the Rauan's role at TradingView. He has seen first-hand how strong the gap is between being a great analyst and a great trader. His perspective on the currency market and trading other people's money make Rauan an excellent guest to go through how he was able to step into managing money.
If you have a full-time job, this is an episode you don't want to miss!
Rauan explains how he is personally involved in day trading while working at TradingView. He goes in-depth on the topic of reaching our personal trading targets month by month.

In episode 94 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I interview Gino Topini, a Forex, stocks & crypto-currency trader based in London, UK. This man is one of the smartest traders I've met.
Gino has what I'd call a master drive to speed up his success in trading and he does it the right way. While I met him at the China Forex Expo in Shenzhen, I understood that Gino has taken sort of the "smart way to successful trading", which is very uncommon to start with. Starting to trade in 2007, he decided to go on his own in his trading Forex trading journey, and therefore spent more time studying and practicing his craft in the market on a daily basis.
Gino is also the co-ower of a business named Mj Web Studio LTD, which specializes in SEO, copywriting and web development. That is an excellent example of creating multiple streams of income and not putting all your eggs in one basket (one of Gino's advice).
Throughout this interview, we went together for the basic of trading that the trader so often tends to forget. Gino shares his personal ways of trading currencies, how he came up with winning trading strategies and some deep knowledge of crypto-currencies, mainly Bitcoins, as nowadays the market seem to offer a great opportunity for profit.
Here's a key takeaway:
"Trading is about loving what you are doing, interact with best traders and trying new strategies."

In episode 93 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I interview Stacey Burke, a Forex trader who has learned about trading the hard way while blowing up some small accounts and making all the mistakes most losing traders make.
Through that process, however, he has able to identify where the real problems were in his trading and how he could finally turn the corner to become one of the few profitable traders.
Coming from a sporting background in ice hockey and Ironman triathlon, hard work and a competitive nature are some of the attributes he believes are necessary to succeed in Forex trading.
Stacey gives credit to other great traders for his success. Brent Penfold's advice on being "the best loser", but he also implemented things in his daily routine to help him continually keep getting better at the process of trading. Like Mike Bellafiore says "how good can we get?"

In episode 92 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I interview Kiana Danial a trader with a special emphasis on building her portfolio over time. She is helping people grow their wealth by investing.
Here it's not a matter of getting rich quickly. Instead, Kiana looks at the market from a long-term perspective and that's how she saw most of her success in trading. What's most interesting about Kiana's trading style, however, is that she is still very involved in the market. She usually knows what's going on and what it's best to look at.
Kiana confirms the idea that successful trading isn't a full-size-fits-all activity. You cannot expect to succeed by copying other people. As a matter of fact, those who see the most success in trading understand who they are.

In episode 91 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I interview Mike Tedeschi, a day and swing trader running a portfolio as well as a trading chatroom. At the time of the interview, he has been trading for himself for over 6 years.
Mike looks at the investment world through a contrarian lens. By going against the herd, he positions himself to achieve the largest possible returns in the quickest time frame with the least amount of risk.
One of the topics we touch on is the need for a trading plan. Mike, like me, has also been developing a trading playbook that contains multiple trading strategies he uses on a daily basis based on how the market moves.
We also touched on the topic of trading alerts. As the main takeaway, you can make money in the market without being involved in the market at all times. There are times when the market isn't producing anything worth trading and that is where you need to be able to step away. There are absolutely no reasons to go in the market when there are no trades.

Several months ago, I stopped using my favorite charting platform - Meta Trader 4 at the time - to do all my technical analysis on TradingView. After being asked on several occasions, I thought it was time for me to come up with a TradingView review and to discuss the things I like and don't like about the online charting platform.
What Is TradingView? To start with, I just want to ensure I eliminate the confusion about what TradingView is and isn't. In short, it's an online portal with charts...but it doesn't stop there. TradingView is an entire social/trader's network where anyone can publish a trade idea.
For some notable people to follow (if you have any recommendations, let me know!):
- Akil Stokes - https://www.tradingview.com/u/Akil_Stokes/
- Jason Graystone - https://www.tradingview.com/u/J_Graystone/
- Etienne Crete (yeah, that's me) - https://www.tradingview.com/u/EtienneCrete1/
The first thing I must point out is that TradingView is accessible pretty much anywhere (by that I mean it isn't blocked in China, and you can access it even from a mobile device).
3 Reasons To Use TradingView Ability To Draw Anything On Any Chart I'm a really visual person, and I felt kind of limited by the idea that I could only draw horizontal/vertical lines in Meta Trader 4.
I know there are a couple of different shapes and other tools in Meta Trader, but TradingView is way ahead.
Whenever I want to explain something to someone or draw for my own reference (where I think the price will go), I take the pen inside TradingView to draw freely.
Not only that but literally all the trading tools you could ever think of placing on your chart are there. Not that I'm a fan of complicating things, but I know people who have complicated trading styles.
Although it can be challenging to draw with a computer mouse, you end up getting used to it, and that allows you not to forget anything anymore.
Ability To Split Your Screen Into Many Synced Up Charts Depending on your trading style, you might need to look at multiple time frames prior to entering a trade.
That can be a real pain! Often you need to click a button and switch back and forth between the time frames. Or, you can open up multiple charts in advance, in which case your drawings/indicators will only appear on one chart.
TradingView makes looking at the timeframes much easier by allowing you to see multiple charts on the same screen.
What's even better is that your drawings can be synced up on all charts if you choose to.
Then, whenever you look at various currency pairs from your watchlist, you can lock the timeframes you selected so that they remain the same whatever you look at.
That's probably my favorite thing in TradingView! But there's one more thing I want to mention...
Accountability By Publishing Your Trade Ideas Accountability is precious. I've personally seen traders significantly improved when they started sharing what they were doing with other traders.
Some experienced traders even go as far as sharing their stats every month with their wife or husband. That way they feel accountable to someone, and it pushed them to work harder.
What's great is that, in the case you don't have anyone to keep you accountable, the online world becomes an amazing resource.
TradingView has a social function through which you can publish trade ideas. Those ideas are images of potential trades based on your analysis. Publishing those trade ideas forces you to make sure that you respect the analysis part of your plan.
And the fact that TradingView is such a big platform makes it very likely that people will interact with your trade ideas, perhaps creating an opportunity for you to learn from other traders as well.
3 Reasons Not To Use TradingView You Have To Pay For Some Basics Features As TradingView offers some amazing features, a fraction of them is reserved for paid members. For instance, a screen with multiple charts will require you to purchase a Pro subscription.
For me, that's not much of a problem because I expect I'll need to pay if I want a very solid tool. However, it has to be mentioned as one of the reasons new traders may abstain from using TradingView.
You'll Need To Have 2 Platforms At All Times TradingView by itself isn't a trading platform through which you can place trades. While it is true that TradingView associated with some brokers like Oanda and FXCM, in most cases you won't be able to enter your trades from the charting platform itself.
That means you'll be required (pretty much all the time) to use your broker's platform in addition to TradingView. It can be a bit confusing at first, especially when you're used to doing everything with one platform.
Charts Don't Always Sync Up One of the troubles I have seen on TradingView is that you never really know whether the drawings you made on your chart got saved. Sometimes, closing your browser too fast makes you lose all your recent analysis work.
TradingView Plans Right now, TradingView offers 4 plans with different advantages. Although I am aware that these plans might change, here's a quick breakdown of what they include at the moment:
- Free: good for one chart at a time with indicators.
- Pro: great option to start and add a few more features to your experience (at $9.95/month)
- Pro Plus: pretty much all the features a trader could need and it's unlimited (that's the plan I'm on)
- Premium: includes a couple of fancy features such as SMS alerts
Is TradingView For You? For me, I think it became a must. When I travel, there's no way I'll run Meta Trader 4 on my Mac as it consumes way too much battery. Having a website I can easily access makes it easier to load a chart quickly and close it whenever I want. I can draw anything and share it with "anyone" (I include my trading journal in 'anyone').
However, if you're always trading at home or on a PC, TradingView might not mean the same thing. It's up to you to see whether you'll truly benefit from it - although I doubt you won't.
You Turn... I hope this TradingView review has helped you understand what that tool was all about. I could go on and on talking about the things I like about the platform, but there are also other things not to like. That's why I need your help!

Siam Kidd: Trading The Daily Chart & Building Multiple Streams Of Income In episode 84 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I interview Siam Kidd, a Forex daily chart trader with a passion for building businesses. Siam has a very interesting story of how he transitioned into trading and how he had to learn to trade the hard way.
Today, however, Siam has used Forex trading as part of its other streams of income to become financially independent. His trading takes on from 5 to 10 minutes a day on average, which means that Siam has enough time to concentrate on other interests/passions/businesses.
Throughout this interview, Siam placed a lot of emphasis on the fact that replacing a full-time job with full-time trading is none sense. The goal of Forex trading is to increase the freedom in your life, and Siam Kidd sees trading as a stream of income.

Kunal Desai: Success & Growth Factors In Your Trading Career In episode 83 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I interview Kunal Desai, a day trader by day and industry leading instructor by night. He is the Founder and Lead Instructor at Bulls on Wall Street and has helped thousands of traders reach their trading goals through his unique live trading courses since 2010.
I enjoyed seeing how passionate Kunal was about trading and helping people. He inspired me to work even harder when he said: "if you want to teach, you must be willing to work harder than your students".
More About Kunal Kunal began trading stocks during the Dotcom Boom, experiencing several ups and downs while growing his account and his knowledge of how the market works. It didn’t take very long for him to realize he had a passion for trading, and that he was particularly drawn to the excitement and profit potential of day and swing trading. While he grew his skill set through experience and self-education, it was mentorship under Paul Singh that really helped Kunal recognize his strengths and weaknesses, and develop a trading system that fit his personality and goals.
After years spent trading and developing a winning trading system, Kunal founded Bulls on Wall Street to teach others how to take control of their financial destinies. It started with a chat room where Kunal could talk about the stocks he was trading and watching, and a series of blogs and videos to provide market analysis. The site grew from there, as Kunal began using his experiences as a trader and teacher to hold webinars and live trading course sessions. After years of trading and honing his system, Kunal created the Bulls Bootcamp, a comprehensive trading course to impart everything he’s learned as a trader and provide the mentorship that was so helpful to him as a new trader.
Today, Kunal is still trading and teaching. He’s spoken at the Trader and Investor Summit, Traders4ACause gala event, been featured in numerous podcasts, and covered in the Huffington Post, BroBible, and Inc.com. In 2015, he spoke alongside market luminaries such as Peter Brandt, Jack Schwager, and James Dalton.

Miguel Tiexiera: Trading Forex While You Travel Show notes: www.desiretotrade.com/miguel-tiexiera/
In episode 82 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I interview Miguel Tiexiera, a Forex trend trader and active traveler who has spent years crafting his trading methodology allowing him to trade and travel the world at the same time.
I brought Miguel on the show specifically because he has the knowledge of what is necessary to develop so you can trade and travel at the same time. This is also what I’ve been particularly working on in the past 2 months.
More About Miguel I opened my first trading account in 1995 and with a few weeks of basic training, I thought I was ready to trade! Within a month I blew my trading account! Realizing my errors; no risk management, lack of knowledge… I still had a desire to succeed as a trader. I then enrolled in The Chartered Market Technician program.
Over the next two years, I completed level I & II. During those two years, I didn’t trade as I had no capital! I spent many, many hours studying charts and the course material. Then in 1997, I got a job as a technical analyst on a forex desk with a bank and so began the next chapter in my trading career. I traded forex and interest rates over the next 12 years and in 2009 I left the bank to do some traveling.
In August of 2014 while on a cycle trip from London to Lisbon I was doing 2 things that I really enjoy, traveling and trading the financial markets using a trend following approach and that is where the name “Traveling Trend Trader” comes from.
I have since learned how to code trading systems and spend time doing research on new trading ideas, doing live broadcasts, writing blogs – all about trading of course and spending time in the DT community in between getting out on my bike and traveling.
I’d love if you can take a few seconds to leave a review on iTunes or Stitcher. Let me know honestly what you think of the podcast because the only way I can improve is through your reviews.

Paul Langham: Trading Strategies & Growth Tips To Profit In The Forex Market In episode 80 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I interview Paul Langham, a Forex trader based in Belgium with a very good understanding of price movements and how the different players interact in the currency markets.

Brent Penfold: The Universal Principles Of Successful Trading In episode 77 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I interview Brent Penfold, a futures trader based in Sidney, Australia.

These days, Brent is a licensed Futures Adviser, specializing in trading index and currency futures, but also trades a diversified portfolio of 16 markets across 8 market sectors.

In this Q&A episode, I discuss how someone can better trade with a full-time job. That involves knowing how to best manage your time and implementing a few things to make sure you remain effective.
2 Tips For Trading With A Full-Time Job Most people starting off in Forex trading don't have the chance to trade full-time from day #1.
Tip #1: Establish A Solid Schedule And Block Off Time The first to trade while having a full-time job is to spend some time planning how you'll spend your time. I discuss how I block time off in my calendar constantly. That is very important for me to stay focused.
Tip #2: Prepare, Trade, And Review Every Time While it can be easy to show up, trade, and leave, that is a sure way not to move forward. As a trader of any kind trading with a full-time job, you must combine 3 major activities.
Even if you prepare or review for 5 minutes, that's still a good start!
The advice shared in my Facebook Live Q&As are based on my own experience and the interviews I had with multiple successful traders on the Desire To Trade Podcast.
Raghee Horner: Forex On 5 Hours A Week For Maximum Profit In episode 74 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I interview Raghee Horner, a Forex trader who specializes in intraday trading and has helped a lot of people simplify their trading.
Raghee has gained a lot of experience through nearly 30 years in the market. She has gone from futures and stocks trading before finally getting in the Forex market.
She is of the opinion that a trader is, before all, an entrepreneur. That is a very important distinction because there are still things that must be done outside of placing trades to survive in this industry.

In this Q&A episode, I discuss the process of making your trading strategy better and I also do a review of my trading year.
The Trading Year In Review It is very important for any trader to look back at the year that went by to evaluate things that went well and things that didn't go very well.
Personally, I'm proud of the capital I've been able to collect in 2016 through a few investors. However, I'm not particularly happy with how I handled my July 2016 drawdown.
On the positive side, I see this drawdown as a great learning opportunity.
Making Your Trading Strategy Better Personally, every strategy I currently trade is composed of 4 parts:
- Market phase
- Support/Resistance areas
- Price action (including but not limited to candlesticks)
- Indicator
All those factors, when combined, create confluence. Making your trading strategy better involves looking at the 4 parts mentioned above and adding criteria to limit yourself to trading higher quality trades.
The advice shared in my Facebook Live Q&As are based on my own experience and the interviews I had with multiple successful traders on the Desire To Trade Podcast.
Questions Answered: * How can I improve my strategies? * I trade with the 8 EMA and buy/sell when the price crosses it. What do you think of that? * What's the best amount of leverage to use?

Michael Toma: Master In Risk Management & Futures Trader Episode 73 of the Desire To Trade Podcast is starting off the year strongly! I'm planning on bringing you the best trading-related podcast that gives results.
Still, as part of the Holiday special, I'm interviewing for the second time Michael Toma. I selected guests that had made an impact on me throughout the year and Michael was definitely one of them.
In short, Michael Toma is a futures trader and I consider him to be a master when it comes to risk management (although that's a wide topic)
>> Listen to the first episode with Michael Toma
I've had the chance to connect with him in person once and Michael always impresses me by the wisdom he has when it comes to the execution part of trading. As a futures trader, he understood that he didn't need to be active in every market to make money but that he did need to leave his trades run if he wanted to pay for his lifestyle.
For this new year, I'd love if you can take a few seconds to leave a review on iTunes or Stitcher. Let me know honestly what you think of the podcast because the only way I can improve is through your reviews.
In This Episode, You'll Learn... * A simple and clear definition of your role as a Forex trader. * How to identify what you need to work on as a trader. * Trading on-the-go and the importance of simplicity. * How to use Market Profile in your trading (that's a really interesting part!) * The places where Michael sees most traders fall short. * Why it is essential (but weird) to scale up by increments when you trade. + Michael and I share both of our experiences. * The BEST advice Michael has to give in regards to 2017. + That starts off the year really strong! * And much more!

Chris Claflin: Multiple Market Trader Episode 72 of the Desire To Trade Podcast is part of the Holiday special, during which I'm bringing back guests I've had previously on the podcast. I selected guests that had made an impact on me throughout the year.
In this episode, I interview Chris Claflin, a multiple market trader, who is currently involved in futures and Forex.
>> Listen to the first episode with Chris Claflin
Chris started being more involved in the Forex market during the past few months. That makes him a multiple market trader.
Throughout this interview, he shared his 5 keys to successful trading. Those apply in any market. In addition, we discussed some of the techniques Chris uses to trade on more than 1 market. The goal is to make trading multiple markets not too confusing.
Patience is also a topic we dive onto as many traders I talk with are finding it difficult to remain patient and accept that successful trading takes time & effort.
Share This! [bctt tweet="When you see the market as risk, reward, and money, it gets much less confusing." username="DesireToTrade"]
In This Episode, You'll Learn... * Why Chris started to trade currencies. * Specific trading routines that give results. * Chris' 5 key for successful trading & how traders fail at not following them. * How being patient can help you. * Managing your risk in trading (the proper way). * Chris' challenge to make $1M before 30 and the reasoning behind it. * And much more!

In this Q&A episode, I discuss the idea of relying on luck to make money as a trader. This is obviously a bad way to go about things even though several struggling hope their trades will work out without defining a process or a system.
The advice shared in my Facebook Live Q&As are based on my own experience and the interviews I had with multiple successful traders on the Desire To Trade Podcast.
Removing Luck & Simple Ways To Win In The Forex Market Once you've removed luck from your trading, do not fall into the trap of adding an unlimited amount of variables to your trading strategy. A lot of traders think they must find the perfect way to make money in the market...
That is not your job.
You and I, as Forex traders, need to make our plan as simple as possible. That is the primary reason why I use a One-Page Trading Plan.
In my opinion, there's no need to look at other markets to confirm a trade you're about to place. In addition, if you are a technical trader, you do not need to spend hours trying to interpret the news in the Forex market.
If you want to trade multiple timeframes, do not make the mistake of looking for trades on all time frames at all times. That's not the way it works. I explain how I do multiple timeframe analysis in this podcast episode.

Houston Truong: Holiday Special with A Full-Time Retail Trader Episode 71 of the Desire To Trade Podcast is part of the Holiday special, during which I’m bringing back guests I’ve had previously on the podcast. I selected guests that have made an impact on me throughout the year.
In this episode, I interview Houston Truong, a full-time retail trader who, in the past year, left his job to concentrate only on his activities as a stocks trader.
Houston has made an immense impact on me. He was the one who inspired me to start the Desire To Trade Podcast in September 2015. He also taught me a lot about routines, mindset, and peak performance.
>> Listen to the first episode with Houston Truong
I currently co-host the Montreal Traders Meetup with him, through which we set up in-person events for traders monthly.
In this interview, Houston and I went back to reflect on the year, the one in which Houston left his job. We also discussed how someone has to go about leaving his job to trade full-time.
Houston is particularly concerned about the topic of continuous learning. Unfortunately, we’ve seen many traders who become consistent, and then stop learning forever. That is not a very wise way to go about it. Instead, traders from all ranges of experience should keep feeding their minds with useful information to keep growing.
It is a fact that markets change, and that makes it necessary for traders to adapt.

In this Q&A episode, I discuss the 5 things I believe all traders must know before starting to trade Forex. Those 5 keys to trading are summarized below.
The advice shared in my Facebook Live Q&As are based on my own experience and the interviews I had with multiple successful traders on the Desire To Trade Podcast.
5 Things You Must Know Before Starting To Trade Forex I wanted to share those 5 things you must know as they are often overlooked. Looking back at my trading, those are things that would have helped me without a doubt.
#1: Track Every Single Trade If you do not track, you have no way to go back and find ways to trade better. That is the reason why I recommend you start tracking every single one of your trade from now on (no matter what). If you take bad trades, track them. If you take trades that do not respect your plan, track them. And obviously, do not stop to track when things are going well.
And obviously, do not stop to track when things are going well. Keep it going!
#2: Trading Is A Game Of Probability It's not because you read about a strategy and implement it flawlessly that you will see success. It is well-known by most experienced traders that any trading strategy goes through a period of consecutive losses. At that point, you need to remind yourself that trading is a game of probability.
That being said, you can have a general idea of the win rate your strategy is expected to have, but you can never know how many losses you'll have to go through before you reach the win rate you expected from the start.
#3: Trading Comes Down To 3 Simple Types Of Trades No need to complicate trading. Most often, when traders feel overwhelmed, it is due to the fact that they try trading everything at the wrong time. By focusing on understanding the types of trades, and then selecting one you'll learn to trade, you will be able to bring back a great chunk of the simplicity that surrounds Forex trading.
Successful currency trading, after all, is about focusing on certain types of trades, and placing the odds in your favor (see #2).
#4: Testing Builds Confidence The only way to build confidence as a trader is to see results. Those results can either come from a live trading account or from testing. The ladder is much less stressful, so I recommend you focus on testing before you ever put real money in a trading account.
The more you look at charts containing examples of your trading setup, the more familiar you get with your setup. You no longer worry about whether your trading strategy works or not because you've seen more than enough trade examples. Testing definitely builds confidence. If you do not feel confident about your trading strategy, you haven't done enough testing.
#5: The More You Automate, The Easier It Gets You do not need to create an algorithmic trading system that will replace you, but you absolutely need to understand the importance of creating successful trading habits. Those are things you do every time without thinking because you have created a routine.
Good examples of automation could be:
- Placing a stop loss when you enter a trade
- Review your trades every Sunday
- Look at the news prior to entering a trade
- And much more...
The way you want to go about creating habits is to do the action several times until you no longer have to think. You might want to start by placing a reminder on your screen until you no longer need the reminder. That has been a wonderful trick for me!

Moritz Czubatinski: A Successful Trader Traveling Around The World In episode 70 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I interview Moritz Czubatinski, a Forex and futures trader currently living in Hong Kong. What I find really interesting about Moritz is that he has been able to travel the world while trading. That is definitely one of my personal goals (I’ll keep you updated!).
Interestingly enough, Moritz transitioned from his career as a professional Poker player to a full-time trader traveling the world. However, he had to go through an office job in Beijing in-between.
He is also the founder of the blog Tradeciety along with Rolf.
Moritz places a particular emphasis on trading journals. For him, having a journal is essential to successful trading. In fact, “I’ve never seen a profitable trader without a trading journal.’, he says. It is for that reason that Moritz created Edgewonk, a trading journal software.

Day Trading Forex: How To Stop Impulsive Trades Before They Occur In this Q&A #7, I discuss the topic of impulsive trading, especially for people who are day trading Forex. In addition, I go through the 3 questions I ask myself weekly to identify the problem I face in my trading, and how to overcome them. That has made an immense difference.
The advice shared in my Facebook Live Q&As are based on my own experience and the interviews I had with multiple successful traders on the Desire To Trade Podcast.
This episode ends with a quick discussion on trading beliefs. Those can either make you broke or rich. Therefore, I suggest you spend some time evaluating your beliefs. A good way to start would be to listen to my interview with Dr. Van Tharp as he describes the belief examination process he makes his students go through.
In This Episode, You'll Learn... * What are impulsive trades * The simple question that will keep you out of bad trades * The 3 questions to evaluate your progress & get consistent profits faster * Why your beliefs can make you a broke trader - and how to change that!

Anmol Singh: Mindset & Technical Keys To Trading Income In episode 69 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I interview Anmol Singh, a stock, and Forex trader. The thing I find interesting about Anmol is the efforts he puts to trade those two markets both intraday and swing.
In short, this interview is packed with very tactical and comprehensive tips in regards to trading routines and the “how-to-trade” aspect. However, Anmol surprised me by sharing great advice on building a mindset that will help you generate an income from trading.
I sincerely believe that the way to improve the most consists of improving your mindset and state of mind prior to trading. Anmol had great tips on that.
Overall, one of the biggest lessons you can get from this interview is the power of walking away from your trading desk. Often times, you are much better removing yourself from the equation and leaving the market do its job. Your job as a trader is to accept the loss or profit and to keep executing as you should. You shouldn’t be there to watch every single move the market does as this will often push you to act or feel stressed. It’s simply counter-productive.

ONE Simple Thing To Improve Your Trading & Using Candlesticks In Forex Trading Every Friday, I host a live Forex Trading Q&A on Facebook.
In this Q&A #6, I discussed the ONE thing you can do to improve your trading quickly. In addition, I discuss the use of candlesticks in the Forex market.
This is based on my own experience.
As a matter of fact, I met a fellow trader in person for the first time around the month of June 2015 and that has made a significant impact on myself and my trading. It is also one of the major reason why I started the Desire To Trade podcast.
When it comes to candlesticks, I believe that traders spend too much emphasis on the candle close. That might be useful on a high timeframe but it doesn’t mean much on a very low timeframe.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn… * Algorithmic vs. Manual Trading * ONE Simple Thing You Can Do To Improve Your Trading Quickly * My Take On Using Candle Close To Trade * Using Market Sentiment In Your Trading

Jean-François Boucher: Trading Tips From A Forex Scalper In episode 68 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I interview Jean-François Boucher, a Forex scalper located in Jasper, Alberta.
Jean-François started to trade stocks in the 90s as he worked for IBM. After losing countless amounts of money in options, he discovered the Forex market.
What I particularly like about Jean-François is his down-to-earth approach to trading. As a matter of fact, he knows there are no tricks to succeed quickly in trading. You must put in the work.
He also mentions a crucial fact, that is, risking 1% per trades allows you to come back. While we often see people risking way more than that, Jean-François’ advice is still very important. You can’t expect to increase your risk too high and stay in the game of trading for very long. As traders, we are professional losers, so we better account for that.
Jean-François says: “it always starts small”, and that is the mindset you need to have if you want to see progress without blowing up countless trading accounts.

2 Reasons Why Traders Blow Up Their Accounts & The Power Of Consistency Every Friday, I host a live Forex Trading Q&A on Facebook.
In this Q&A #5, I discussed reasons why traders blow up their accounts. This topic came up after I had multiple people reaching out to me, as they felt discouraged saying they blew up their trading accounts.
In the end, there are only 2 reasons this can happen:
- You risk too much on any given trade (money management).
- You have no tested plan.
As much as aspiring traders want a quick & easy solution, there's no need to complicate things here.
Create a plan, test it, and ensure you have a way to stay in the trading game (hint: not risking too much money on any trade).
A good way to put down your trading plan is with my One-Page Trading Plan Template (you can download it for free!).
The second topic covered in this Q&A is consistency.
Simply put, most struggling traders aren't consistent and focus solely on making money.
However, once you become consistent in trading, doors open to you. As a matter of fact, I was able to trade for investors and other people because I had that consistency
In This Episode, You'll Learn... * 2 Main Reasons Why Traders Blow Up Their Trading Accounts + How To Create Your Trading Plan In A Very Short Period + The Money Management Guidelines I Follow * How To Exponentially Grow Your Consistency In Trading

Kevin Davey: Building Winning Algorithmic Trading Systems In episode 67 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I interview Kevin Davey, an algorithmic trading system builder, and trader. He is the author of a very well written book on the topic titled Building Winning Algorithmic Trading Systems.
The number of trading systems developed by Kevin is impressive. At the time of recording the interview, he had 95 trading strategies.

At the moment, he trades full-time for his own personal account, while helping traders around the world see more results in their trading.

Georges Papasov: Precise Ways To Improve Your Trading Skills In episode 66 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I interview Georges Papasov, a trader from Bulgaria
George Papazov started trading in his teenage years, fueled by his father’s inspiration and propelled by the desire to achieve his wildest dreams. As a teenager he designed and implemented a foreign exchange strategy which generated over 50% annualized returns, beating the Barclay’s Currency Trader Index for 5 consecutive years.
After finishing his degree in financial planning, George worked as a trader in one of the top six banks in Canada for over 5 years. He gained invaluable experience and insights into market psychology, trading technology, order flow management and was then hired to train thousands of financial advisers on investment strategies.
Then, he started the TRADEPRO Academy, a place where Georges aspires to educate and empower individuals to become successful traders.

I agree that executing on that plan will be the hardest part, but we have to cover things step-by-step here.
In Part 3 of the Guide To Forex Trading Strategies, I'm explaining how to trade in a trending market. That can be a highly profitable type of trading, especially due to the fact that trends are usually strong in the Forex market.

Timothy Sykes: How To Turn $12,000 into $2,000,000 & Perform Like A Trader In episode 65 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I interview Timothy Sykes, a stocks trader, world traveler and teacher. He has made a massive impact and contribution to the trading education worldwide by having thought over 6,000 students to trade penny stocks. Timothy has been one of the traders I looked up to as I opened my first trading account.
His opening quote hit me. According to Timothy, we make things way more complicated than they are and we spend a lot of valuable time caring about unnecessary details. Like me, however, Timothy is of the opinion that there are no get-rich-scheme. He attributes hard work & dedication to his success in penny stocks trading.
What is fascinating with Timothy is that he records a video for his students almost daily (even while traveling). Upon recording this interview, Timothy just got back from the Amalfi coast, one of the places he frequently travels to. There's something to be mentioned about the great lifestyle and freedom Timothy has been able to build from trading.
In This Episode, You'll Learn... * How Timothy went from $12,000 to $100,000 to then $2,000,000. * How any trader can trade and travel fairly easily! * How Timothy detects the right stocks and trades them. * The REAL reason why Timothy posts about his lifestyle (cars, trips, money, etc.). * How to push yourself to grow as a trader. * And much more!

I've seen a lot of traders trading with absolutely no plan expecting they would succeed, so I want to make sure I address this topic.
In fact, you've probably already heard the saying "trading is simple but not easy", right? Well, it is when you have a plan and a strategy to execute on.
I agree that executing on that plan will be the hardest part, but we have to cover things step-by-step here.
In Part 1 of the Guide To Forex Trading Strategies, I'm giving you a quick introduction of what type of strategy you can trade. In the next parts of this series, we'll deal with specific indicators you can use as well as how to read price movements.
What's Covered In This Episode? * The concept of market phase * The 3 types of trades * When you should consider each of the trade types (based on the market phase) * What to expect as win rate and reward-to-risk for various Forex trading strategies * The top mistakes traders make when defining a strategy * And much more!

Carley Garner: All You Need To Know About Commodity Trading Show notes: http://www.desiretotrade.com/carley-garner/

Carley have been in the trading business for over 12 years and started with options from day 1.
Carley mentions that option trading is done at a slower pace than other assets such as Forex, stocks, and futures. 90% of options expires worthless. We also discuss option selling, a way to make money on a higher probability with unlimited risk. As an option buyer, the risk is limited but the probability of making a profit is smaller.

Albert Maté: Trusting Your Vision And Taking Action To Create A Winning Trading System Show notes: www.desiretotrade.com/albert-mate/
In episode 59 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I interview Albert Maté, a good friend of mine in Montreal who, after being involved in the trading world for several years, is working on a very interesting algorithmic winning trading system.
Albert started in scalping. He was trying to make less than a few cents by himself in a Montreal firm called Swift Trade. As his learning curve was fairly flat in the beginning, Albert learned things the hard way through the 2000's bubble. He ended up taking a break off trading, which was a very sound decision.
According to a statistic mentioned by Albert, 85% of portfolio managers aren't able to beat the S&P500. That is a key figure to keep in mind.
Albert's trading system performance is available on his website Albitrading.com.
Although I thought this interview would be mostly useful for algorithmic traders, the conversation moved to a topic useful to any type of trader: how to find financing to trade. While it's good to trade your capital, sometimes having "outside money" can be of great help to achieve your goals. You just need to do te work and follow the steps outlined by Albert in this interview.
Topics Covered - Albert Maté * Why you need to have a vision * How to "go through the storm" as a trader * Why Albert decided to move to an algorithmic trading system * The exact steps to create a trading system (any type)! * How to know when to trade your strategy live * How to obtain financing for your trading

Fear-Based Traders (FBT) vs. Greed Based Traders (FBT) Fear-based traders must have a simple system and know exactly what they must do. You must ensure to eliminate doubts and be certain regarding when to pull the trigger. They are likely to avoid pulling the trigger in the face of small hesitations.
Most Greed-based traders are normally bad risk managers as they are looking to get more out of the market. They must still have a simple trading strategy.
The 3 Crucial Components Process: having a checklist you can rely to (like a plan pilot). Find out more about it in Creating Your Forex Trading Strategy Playbook

Rayner Teo: The Steps To Become A Successful Trader Full show notes: www.desiretotrade.com/rayner-teo/
In episode 56 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I interview Rayner Teo, an independent Forex trader from Singapore and the founder of TradingwithRayner.
Rayner started trading at a young age, after he learned there was a trading competition in his university. He soon discovered that becoming a successful trader required a specific strategy. Even after trying several strategies and trading techniques, he couldn’t seem to figure out how to trade successfully. It took him some time, but eventually Rayner had his breakthrough moment. He realized that he had to stick to something (for at least 100 trades) if he wanted to progress.
During this interview, we discussed a few technical topics, but also how Rayner Teo makes his trading journal, and very importantly, the process traders have to go through to become successful while cutting down the cost of their education.
Rayner has a very strong understanding of technical trading. Nevertheless, he has made a huge effort to stay simplistic in his trading. That is where the real power lies

I personally consider Chris as a leader in the trading industry. What’s more, he created a useful framework that any trader can follow to see results in trading.

Through Little Fish FX, he aspires to democratize the foreign exchange market by providing high quality educational materials, pro trader analysis, trading strategies and market-leading tools & indicators to retail traders of all experience.

We've had the chance to discuss several topics in this podcast episode, including James' best and worst trades as well as the mistake he sees traders make. We also touched on his trading methodology. This is an important part of the interview since any trader must have a solid trading plan.

Jason Sen: The Art Of Technical Analysis And Trading Ideas In episode 52 of the Desire To Trade Podcast I interview Jason Sen, a Forex trader and technical analysts with a lot of experience working for institutional clients. Jason is also the man behind Day Trade Ideas.
Jason currently lives the good life in Thailand, a well merited location as he started to trade in early in college (1987) when his father introduced him to trading. He quickly got into stocks and was surrounded by charts, which he learned to interpret.
What I really like about Jason is his simple approach to technical analysis. He uses it to provide technical reports and trading ideas to his clients without making things too complicated. He is the perfect person to tell you what you should focus on when looking at a Forex currency pair, or any other market.
A very important concept discussed in this podcast episode concerns how to deal with a series of losses. Those are inevitable and Jason went through several series of losses. He was then a very good person to get advice from.

In this interview, Adam shares some of the best tips and insights he got from 15 years as a trader. Living in Australia, he had to adapt.

Rob Colville: The Lazy Trader (Higher Time Frame Trading) In episode 50 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I interview Rob Colville, a Forex trader using a method to trade higher time frames and maximize his lifestyle. He is the man behind the site The Lazy Trader.
Rob trades exclusively on the daily and weekly time frames. He looks for several types of trades and do not care so much about trading. His goal is to have the life he desires first.
An important topic discuss during this episode is the importance of not setting your expectations too high. The #1 goal of a trader is to preserve the capital and the secondary goal is to trade.

Patrick James: Working On Your Self-Images & Other Ways To Succeed If this isn't the first podcast episode you're listening to, you certainly know how passionate I am about trading.
Sometimes, however, I like to expand my perspectives and bring guests outside the trading world on the Desire To Trade Podcast. These guests bring unique ideas based on their own field of expertise. So far, I've been greatly impressed by the advice the non-traders provided on energy & fitness.
And here's one more!
In episode 49 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I interview Patrick James, a charisma expert who shares his best advice on crushing it in life.
The interview started with an off-topic conversation about charisma. Then, Patrick mentioned the book Psycho-Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz.
Psycho-Cybernetics is all about self-image. According to Maltz, “you will act like the sort of person you conceive yourself to be.”
If you want to ensure you succeed in trading over the long-term, you must not only understand how to trade, but also how to manage yourself. That starts with talking to yourself positively. Affirmations are a great way to change the view you have of yourself. Another very practical advice Patrick proposes is concerns the speed of implementation.
You must decide to take control of your self image, and then decide what you want it to be.
What's covered in this episode?
- What is charisma & why it's important for traders
- The impact of self-image & how to improve your self-image
- How to talk to yourself and empower you to succeed
- The habits that can help you succeed
- How to use the speed of implementation
- How to act like the person you want to become
- How to deal with people who don't support you
- And much more!

Chris started to trade in College. Learning to trade wasn't an easy task while he was pursuing studies of become a dentist. Soon, however, Chris dropped out of school as he realized he could make more money trading than working in dentistry.
These days, Chris is primarily a trend trader. That means he focuses on entering in the direction of strong market trends, hoping that the trend will keep going. Several traders interviewed on the Desire To Trade Podcast adopt this trading style. What distinguishes Chris, however, is that he often looks to catch up trends within a larger trend. His trades are therefore in alignment.

Ellaine had no interest for trading at first, but picked up a book about the subject in school. As time went on, she started to get more and more involved and interested in the idea of making a living off Forex trading. However, things didn't work out as planned and Ellaine got discouraged. She stopped trading for a while.
Eventually, she went back to check her account. She realized it had doubled due to a trade that was left open. If only she could do the same thing, she would be able to make money. That piqued her curiosity. She started to get back in trading, took a course, and was eventually able to make a consistent income from Forex trading.

The Power Of A One-Page Trading Plan I resisted the idea of creating a trading plan for so long...
but the moment I finally came up with my first trading plan, I felt much better.
First, I no longer had to keep everything in my head as I used to do. Second, I had clear guidelines concerning what I was supposed to do.
The problem: that trading plan took 30 days to write and was huge. It was very hard for me to go back in that plan to check something.
A couple months ago, I came up with the idea of simplifying my plan on a single sheet of paper. The truth is, I've always been a fan of tracking checklists for their simplicity, but I wanted to bring the concept further.
As soon as I completed my One-Page Trading Plan, I posted it on my trading desk. I has made a huge difference. Instead of having a set of entry rules, I have everything I need to see on that plan.
In episode 45 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I share about my experience with trading plans and tell you precisely how to create a powerful one-page trading plan.
[bctt tweet="Big trading plans bring confusion. Great traders have everything on one single page." username="DesireToTrade"]
What is discussed in this podcast episode? * I used to hate the idea of having a trading plan. * Most people you see online recommend a trading plan that looks like a business plan...it never worked entirely for me when it comes to executing. * How to create your one-page trading plan: + There are a few parts: - Vision (where you want to go with trading) - Context (time frames, trading times, instruments) - Trading strategy (signal, entry, exit) - Support (money management, implementation plan) - Examples (at the back of it) * Making a plan isn't enough, you must make it visible!

Chris Lori: An Athlete Turned Into A Professional Forex Trader I find it fascinating sometimes how traders vary in their backgrounds. Some had a regular job or came straight out of school. Others had nothing.
But, how about an athlete who re-oriented his career to trade as a professional Forex trader?
In episode 44 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I interview Chris Lori, a former athlete who trained himself to become a professional Forex trader. Chris currently does workshops around the world and is very passionate about trading.

The Great Advice From Market Wizards w/ Jack Schwager If I were to ask successful traders the ONE book that influenced them and guided them through becoming traders, Market Wizards would definitely come up.

Trade Like A Casino w/ Richard Weissman "Trade like a casino" sounds like an awesome idea, right?
After all, what do casinos do? They have a system/strategy to ensure that they are going to have an edge over the long-run.
Does that mean the casino is going to win every poker game? Not at all, but over time, it is almost guaranteed to make money.
In episode 42 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I interview Richard Weissman, the author of Trade Like A Casino and a number of different trading-related books that showcase a very insightful and researched methodology to trading.
The interesting thing about Richard is that he focuses a lot on research and backtesting. That allows him to develop mechanical trading systems that he is then able to use with a positive expectancy.
During this episode, Richard and I discuss what it means to "trade like casino" and how traders can apply this principle in their trading. It's not only about the trading strategy, but also in regards to emotions and psychology.
These days, Richard focuses on his role as the CEO of CNV Capital Management, focusing on trading and system development.

Yohay is very knowledgeable when it comes to fundamental analysis and what affects the currency market. He shared in great details what Forex traders can expect from news releases and what they have to look for.
Yohay studied computer science, but learned about the Forex market mostly by himself through books and other self-education resources. He then started exchanging his ideas and view of the market with other people, an activity that proved itself to be very useful.
Today, Yohay publishes his analyses on his website and hosts a podcast where he shares what took place in the financial market.

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

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...

The Professional Forex Trader With A True Passion For The Market Episode 32 of the Desire To Trade Podcast features Dimitrios Charalampidis, a professional Forex trader based in Greece, and the man behind Snail Trading. The best thing about Dimotrios has to be his incredible passion for trading. He spends a lot of time looking at the market and testing his way of trading. However, that leads him to great results. He is very knowledgeable regarding trading and the currency market.
In this interview, Dimitrios shared his best advice for traders. We discussed the biggest mistakes he sees Forex traders make – including not accepting to make mistakes. Dimitrios thrives to reach a point where money is meaningless and where he will be able to explore his passion for the market at its fullest. He concluded the podcast episode with a powerful statement - "Be strategic. Not only set your goal but define the steps to achieve those goals."

A Great Lifestyle And 18,000% Return In The Stock Market with Gil Morales & Chris Kacher Episode 30 of the Desire To Trade Podcast features Gil Morales and Christian Kacher from Virtue Of Selfish Investing. They discuss their philosophies on life and trading following the several books they wrote together.
Aspiring traders would envy Gil and Christian' lifestyles of travel and discovery. At the time of our interview, Christian was in Buenos Aires.
The book I first noticed, co-authored by Gil and Chris, is called Trade Like an O'Neil Disciple: How We Made 18,000% in the Stock Market.
Gil Morales Gil began his investment career in 1991 as a stockbroker in the Beverly Hills branch of Merrill Lynch. In 1994 he joined PaineWebber, Inc. where he quickly achieved Chairman's Club status as a top producer. In 1997, William O'Neil personally recruited Mr. Morales to join William O'Neil + Company, Inc. where he spent the next eight years as a Vice-President, internal Portfolio Manager responsible for managing a portion of the firm's proprietary assets, and Manager of the O'Neil Institutional Services group responsible for advising over 500 of the largest and most successful institutional investors in the world, including mutual fund, pension fund, and hedge fund clients.
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.
Chris has a very interesting educational background as he received his B.S. in Chemistry and Ph.D. in Nuclear Physics from University of California at Berkeley, where he co-discovered Element 110 on the Periodic Table of Elements and confirmed the existence of Element 106 for which his team named Seaborgium.
Musically gifted, Dr. Kacher was classically trained on the piano beginning at age 3, composing his first song at age 5 which he called "Night Fog," and performing as a concert pianist from ages 5 to 12 in high-profile cities in the US and Japan.

Top 3 Skills Traders Must Develop Steve Ward is a long time coach. After a career as a sport coach, he transitioned to coaching traders in 2005. Today, he works mostly with institutional players, allowing him to fully exploit his talent.
Steve didn't come to trade first. In fact, he started as a trading coach even before placing his first trade. However, once he decided to trade, he had the arguable advantage of succeeding fairly quickly. Upon learning by himself, he could start trading without to much pain.
Steve discussed several important concepts linked to trading discipline. That's a topic I was quite interested in as it is one of the main challenge aspiring traders face.
The interview then moved on the top 3 skills traders must develop if they want to succeed over the long-run. Those, according to Steve are:
- Confidence
- Resilience
- Adaptability
For each of those essential skills, Steve provided very simplistic ways to improve them. That is definitely something you can use for your own trading.

In the episode 8 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, Paul Langer amazed me by claiming that new traders could become profitable in 4 months.
From what I heard, he is right. There is no secret to Forex trading. The number one thing mentioned by Paul is that you really have to adopt your own style.
The other interesting about Paul is his story. He started trading after a broke friend told him about it. After losing most of his $50,000 account, he has been able to recover, and even earn more!
