A TRADER'S LIFE: Recent Episodes
Nicholas Penrake
In A Trader’s Life Nicholas Penrake talks to successful traders about their approach to trading, how they started out and went from broke or breaking even to pulling in thousands of dollars a week. Trading is a tough game – they say only around 5 per cent of those who try actually make a profit. Listen to A Trader’s Life to glean some valuable insights from the market wizards I get to talk to.
The traders who tend to survive and thrive are often not the big hitters, they’re the beavers. They build a routine. They take note of what works and what doesn’t work. They err on the side of caution and they blanket FOMO from their existence.
Tom Segura is one such trader. Raised in Essex, studied Economics at University, now trading for around seven years. Today he runs his own company - Segura Capital - and teaches beginner and struggling traders how best to set themselves up for a life in trading.

What if you could trade the markets in just 30 minutes a day — using AI?
Nice idea, but is it even possible?
On this episode I talk to Adam Harris, a former City trader turned mentor.
He runs a mentorship program - The Forex Masterclass - that blends old-school market know-how with cutting-edge tech.
For this episode he talks to me about how he got to where he is today as well as providing us with an overview of how he combines discretionary trading with signals and patterns produced by AI.
About Forex Masterclass
Forex Masterclass is a CPD-accredited education and trading platform built for traders at every level - from complete beginners to experienced traders looking for more structure, support, and consistency.
No fluff. No hype. Just real traders, real results, and the skills you need to trade with confidence.

Chris Vermeulen has been trading since he was at high school. Today he runs a newsletter that offers his technical analysis on what the markets are telling him.
He also runs a real estate business and, recently, he’s stepped in as an executive producer on a family movie.
You may have seen him in a suit and tie in a number of news programs talking about trading. I said we don’t do suits on my show, so today here he is the way he is at home.
Enjoy the conversation.

As a trader, you have to be able to keep a check on your emotions, no matter what the state of play.
Like air traffic controller, a sniper.
Life or death.
My next guest on A Trader’s Life is no stranger to extreme pressure in trading.
He’s been trading since the eighties when charts were typically worked up with a pencil and paper.
When he was diagnosed with arthritis as a young man, he knew he’d have to work on his mindset if he was to cope with the kinds of stressful situations he found himself in on a daily basis..
Today Mark Randall is a very successful high performance coach. He helps develop traders, and trading teams at corporate level. They hire him because his methods and teaching make a real difference, not just in financial gains but also in terms of a trader’s overall wellbeing.

A unique trading strategy with a very high win rate
You've probably heard of Fibonacci, and you may already be using the Fibonacci tool you find on TradingView as part of your trading stratregy.
Until about a year ago, I thought these tools were the last on the subject of Finoacci sequences. Then I met trader and investor All Peters-Plocher and talked to the people using her proprietary Fibonacci tool and strategy.
To date, I have met five of Alla's students, and they all said joining Alla's courses was the best investment they ever made.
One of the guys I spoke to said he'd been struggling for about 10 years before he joined one of Alla's courses, and once he got going, he was consistently profitable. He just bought a house in Arizona with the money he's made since he joined.
Like me, he's a filmmaker. One of things he loves about her system is that he spends only a few minutes a day checking trades, and can focus on his filmmaking projects.
I also met Alla herself when she was over in London, early in 2024. She even took me to lunch - at Claridges! - with her husband and two other 'student' traders.
I believe she genuinely cares about the traders who sign up to her programs. More than that - she's on a mission to help traders of all abilities.
It's very rare I send out affiliate links, not least because I have to have complete faith in the person and his or her coaching or product before I do - but down below you'll find some links to her courses.
Transform your trading performance
If this is a good time for you to join one of Alla's program, and you found this podcast episode useful in helping you come to that decision, I'd really appreciate it if you were to sign up via one of the links below - it would be extra cost to you but would help me cover some of the costs of running this podcast and enable me to do more ambitious episodes, both audio and video, in the future.
If you'd like to talk to me in person about Alla's courses, feel free to reach out on email - nic.penrake@gmail.com - and we can arrange to have a chat over Zoom or WhatsApp, whichever you prefer.

Previously a lawyer, now a full time trader, Pablo Fdez Escarzaga from Spain told me he spent his first two years trading the markets "going nowhere".
Then, quite by chance, he came across Alla Peters Plocher’s Fibonacci Trading Institute and, within a few months of applying her strategy, his trading improved. Massively.
Today he typically makes 10% a week trading her method on a range of assets, from Futures to options.
Pablo is the fourth person I’ve spoken to who signed up to Alla’s course and completely transformed his trading performance. If you feel as Pablo did that you're "going nowhere" with your trading, or you're making progress but it's all so up and down, I think you’ll find this conversation highly motivating.

It's very rare I send out affiliate links, not least because I have to have complete faith in the person and his or her coaching or product before I do.
At the time of writing this, I have met four of Alla's students in person, and they all said joining Alla's courses was the best investment they ever made.
One of the guys is a filmmaker. He said he'd been struggling for about 10 years before he joined one of Alla's courses, and once he got going, he was consistently profitable. He just bought a house in Arizona with the money he's made since he joined.

If you’ve been trading a while, it’s probably safe to assume you’ve come across the Fibonacci retracement and extension tools. And perhaps you’ve also come across a few traders on YouTube who show you how to use these tools.
But unless you’ve already joined the Fibonacci Trading Institute, you won’t have come across the Fibonacci tools and strategies as created by Alla Peters Plocher. This, to me, is another dimension altogether.
Alla has been fascinated by numbers and patterns in music and mathematics since she was a child. She became fascinated by the markets some twenty years ago, and today she has students all around the world.
If you’re fascinated by the patterns we see in the markets, and you want to develop a more preciseI trading strategy than you currently work with, I think you’ll get a lot of value from this episode.

Alla's Coaching Programs

I believe she genuinely cares about the traders who sign up with her. More than that - she's kind of on a mission to help traders of all abilities.
In this episode you have here I was again fascinated by the precision of her strategy. I don't know about you, but it's less the thought of making more money than the thought of being more accurate and efficient with my trading that motivates me. Like a runner who wants to beat his personal best.

How do you deal with bad days, he slow days trading? Who do you talk to? The cat, the dog, your reflection? Sometimes there’s no one around. You’re there on your own looking at red numbers getting bigger and bigger. Not every day, we hope, but it can happen. And when it does, it can be a lonely experience.
Even if someone’s at home, who wants to listen to you groaning about a trade you missed? Some heavy drawdown you can’t face losing?
My next guest is a veteran trader - Clive Arneil. Clivs makes it his business to teach and support all kinds of retail traders, from beginners to seasoned pros. He takes some pride in running an online trading room called - At The Sharp End. We had a good chat. Good humoured, down to earth and genuinely eager to help other traders.

Many traders like the fast action of a one-minute chart. Only a few who do can trade it consistently.
Daniel Munday prefers the higher timeframes.
It doesn’t surprise me, because everything about his demeanour exudes patience and humility - a far cry from the picture of raving traders in the land of Wolf on Wall Street.
It’s only fitting perhaps that Daniel not only prefers trading the higher timeframes, he also enjoys mentoring other traders. Here we are in his spotless apartment in South West London, middle of May 2024.

A lot has been said about mindset when it comes to trading. Which rather suggests it’s easier said than done. We all know revenge trading is bad, patience is good. Panic is bad, composure is good. And so on. But how do we achieve and maintain a calm state of mind, so we trade at our best?
On this episode I talk to a former trader, who for the last 18 years has been helping traders and other professionals get out of their own way and perform better in their chosen arena.
Here we go, delving into the mind with performance coach Stephen Desborough.

I think most of us who have been trading even a year can agree that managing risk is more than half the battle when it comes to making consistent returns in the markets.
That was va clip from my conversation with veteran trader Ian Coleman. Ian mostly trades forex, occasionally the indices. In this episode we talk about the kinds of patterns and correlations he looks for. Why he prefers swing trading to intraday and his own quiet obsession with the markets. Check out the full episode on A Trader’s Life. I think you may find Ian’s wit and modesty quite charming. I know I did.

So we’re all pretty familiar with terms like head and shoulders, double bottom and double top. But are you familiar with these more esoteric patterns like bearish butterfly and tapering wedge? My next guest Ian Coleman lives and breathes this stuff.
He often posts his marked up charts on Linkedin and I’ll often sit there studying them as if I were in a gallery before an arresting landscape. Ian’s been in the trading game for donkey’s years. The past 15 years, he’s been trading on his own and writing for FX Street.
Before I bring Ian on, if you’re enjoying the show, do please subscribe and check out the YouTube channel for interviews on video.
Ian and I got together in March 2024. I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did. **==

I was looking for a way to boost my energy levels, without resorting to more coffee, tea or snacks, when I came across Magic Mind.
This unique energy drink comes in these handy, little bottles and works like a shot. You knock it back in a gulp or two and it boosts your energy for the next few hours without any of the usual downside of coffee or tea.
Nice taste, too. Close to passion fruit, but not at all sweet.
I tend to have my usual coffee in the morning then take one of these little Magic Mind bottles around midday - to carry me through the afternoon session.

So you know about Ukraine, you know about Gaza, but did you know there’s an even bigger war raging in Africa? At least in terms of death toll. i'm referring to the war in the Congo. Even though millions have died and many thousands are still dying, it’s a conflict that's hardly reported.
My guest for this episode is a man who set out to make a film about what’s been going on, and in so doing put an assassin’s mark on his back.
Kim Yew, filmmaker and trader, talks to me about film and his absolutely extraordinary win rate trading with a proprietary fibonacci tool and a strategy he learnt from Alla Peters-Plocher.

Shoot for the skies as a day trader or bypass leverage altogether and aim for a 10% return investing in stocks?
Writer and investor, Will Nutting, prefers the latter. For one thing, it gives him more time to travel around the world exploring investing possibilities of ten overlooked by the mainstream.
Will runs a successful fund, also Nuttstuff, a newsletter which he describes as ‘No nonsense, common sense, stock ideas and conclusions.’

We can probably all agree trading has some bad connotations. Gambling and scam being the two words that readily spring to mind.
My next guest is first and foremost an entrepreneur in online education. He’s not in fact a trader. But he passionately hates gambling and wanted to introduce some fresh transparency and genuine education to the trading world.
So, a few years ago, Zack van Niekerk teamed up with a man who does trade and together they created The Trading Cafe and The Trading Academy.
If you haven’t yet managed to be consistently profitable in your trading, or you’re looking for some new ideas to pepper into your strategy, I highly recommend you stick around.

Just as some people are good at long distance and some are more suited to the 100m, some traders prefer scalping, while others prefer the higher time-frames.
Alex Spiroglou has decided he fits in the second group. He prefers spending his time studying technicals and likes to take his time before entering and closing a position. Slow and steady wins the race, you might say.
Alex is also the Founder and CEO of SMART Trader Systems. To quote his website: 'his vision is to create a small, strong, Spartan-like, professional trader hub, whose members are willing to share ideas , techniques and motivation, because they realise that teamwork stands in the heart of great achievement.'

Just as some people are good at long distance and some are more suited to the 100m, some traders prefer scalping, while others prefer the higher time-frames.
Alex Spiroglou has decided he fits in the second group. He prefers spending his time studying technicals and likes to take his time before entering and closing a position. Slow and steady wins the race, you might say.
Alex is also the Founder and CEO of SMART Trader Systems. To quote his website: 'his vision is to create a small, strong, Spartan-like, professional trader hub, whose members are willing to share ideas , techniques and motivation, because they realise that teamwork stands in the heart of great achievement.'

Trader Tomasz Nogowski talks to me about how he came to realise he could apply some of the skills he developed as a chef to his trading. Perhaps not surprisingly he’s a scalper. Fast and furious is how he likes it. Listen to the rest of our conversation from the episode alongside this trailer.

A few days before Christmas 2023 I got together with Tomasz Nogowski, a Polish trader who has picked up a Scottish accent after living in Scotland for a number of years.
Tomasz is the first trader I’ve had on the show whose first career was spent working long hours in a kitchen as a chef. You might think this is irrelevant background information, but as Tomasz himself noted, his life as a chef - serving up his best food at speed in a steamy kitchen - has served him very well trading the lower timeframes.

One of the most familiar questions we hear successful traders being asked is, "How did you achieve consistent trading success?

Trader Rajan Dhall started out as a personal trainer. As well as helping others exercise their muscles, he exercised his initiative by chatting with traders who worked at JP Morgan in the offices above his gym.
Fast forward 14 years and Rajan is not only making consistent profits through trading, he’s also helping others do the same while developing his own prop firm, DND Capital, which follows a different model from most firms out there.

If you’re interested in the part volume - in particular, volume spread analsyis - has to play in picking a winning trade, this episode is for you.
Trader, mentor, author and CEO of TradeGuider, Gavin Holmes got into trading quite by chance when he met a professional trader while working in events. The two men got talking and Gavin started to gobble up everything he could on the subject of supply and demand.
Where does the smart money leave its footprints? he wanted to know. Volume. How to scan for it, how to read it? Done manually that would take forever. So he built some software to help him identify financial instruments that were getting ready to pop. What he and a coder came up with not only worked for him, it’s worked for thousands of traders around the world.
Gavin and I got together in early September 2023 to chat about his transition from police officer to salesman, from student trader and more recently fund manager. He’s a thoroughly gregarious chap and I hope you enjoy the conversation.

One of the biggest trends in trading today is the proliferation and evolution of prop firms. They seem to be popping up everywhere. It's hardly surprising when you realize that more and more people are looking for a side hustle, but don’t have much capital to play with. They take a crack at trading, blow a lot of their savings and decide it might be less stressful trading a fund, not tied to their bank account.
For prop firms, competition is hotting up, and, on the whole, that tends to be a good thing for traders looking to get funded.
In this episode I chat with Michael Buchbinder, one of the founders of the prop firm Tradiac.
Michael continues to swing trade, so we do get to talk about stocks, but for more than half this forty minute episode we talk bout at the business end of prop trading.

In Episode 81 I talk with a trader who is of the opposite sex. Wow. What a rare event. And it’s not been for want of trying, I might add. But it’s really quite a job to find women who trade.
Trading is still a profession or activity where men vastly outnumber women. Will that change before AI take over?

About a year ago I got to know and like a guy who had been trading for about twenty years. i enjoyed chatting with him about trading. Then one day, he proposed trading a small fund on my behalf. The arrangement would entail his taking a cut of the profits, if any, and while he was trading, he would happily teach me how to read the markets. Sounded good to me.
We got off to a positive start. Oh, dear, how often that happens in trading, right? The markets were turning bearish - and choppy, I should add. He was convinced the indices were about to collapse, the Yen would roar back to life and we would be, if not rich, then sitting pretty.
His analysis was very convincing, well argued.
It just happened to be wrong.
He held on to it. Even as the indices pushed through the 200 EMA, he was telling me the bears would regain control any day now.
They didn't.
And so the account was reduced from £2,000 to £2 in under three months.
It was disappointing. More so that he didn't think to call me up to apologise, as you might expect, given all the talk about turning me into a successful trader.
Perhaps he was embarrassed, but still.
So, he just disappeared. and I licked my wounds. I felt foolish. I hadn't been scammed, I'd simply let myself be carried along by someone with experience (and audits to prove he'd been successful) and told myself, 'It'll be alright...It'll be alright...'
The dangers of bias.
There's a guy I work with who deals in forex. He has a client who recently blew a few million, shorting cable. A few million. So he's a rich guy, who must be pretty smart to have made so much he has 20 million casino money, and yet, when it comes to trading, he's not so smart.
This wasn't his first attempt at shorting the British pound, apparently. It would seem he had a bias against the pound, possibly something personal.
There's an interesting thing about bias. It's actually a form of hubris. Deep down, guys like the two just referenced can't wait to show the world they had it right when everyone else had it wrong. They want to be George Soros shorting the pound. And I get it. Wouldn't it be nice, if we could all pull that one off?
But when you make it personal, when you refuse to revise your plan even in face of evidence to suggest you have it wrong, you aren't trading anymore, you're putting your ego out there, your hand cupped to one ear in anticipation of a collective gasp and the pop of a Champagne cork.
having interviwed a lot of traders now, I'm surprised how many traders still fall prey to bias.
Beware of bias. Listen to episode 79. Thank you.

A few weeks ago I got chatting with Emmanuel Joshua, a Nigerian trader, whom I’d come across on Twitter.
Typically he trades in the early hours of the morning before catching a few hours’ sleep, then rushing out to work as a nurse.
He trades synthetics, a kind of derivative popular among African traders, using ICT strategies.
What stood out to me, as we talked, was just how passionate he is about helping people – the students in his trading group, and the patients under his care. I give you Emmanuel Joshua.

Mid February 2023 Corey Andrews at Surge Trader put me in touch with trader Jean-Francois Boucher. I was very grateful he did, because my conversation with Jean-Francois has been one of the most absorbing I’ve had since I started this podcast.
If you subscribe to A TRADER’S LIFE, you’ll know by now that I’m particularly drawn to traders who have distinctive stories to tell. Jean-Francois certainly delivers on that front. It’s a wonder really that he’s trading at all after all the ups and downs he’s put himself through. His tenacity, humility and a profound desire to learn from obstacles in his way make for a thoroughly engrossing episode.

This is a clip from my conversation with Michael Katz, a day trader, stocks and futures. Michael also helps run Trade the Pool, a prop firm based in Israel.
I think you’ll find some useful tips and insights dotted about in this conversation, a handful perhaps that are worth noting down, especially if you’ve not been trading more than 2 or 3 years.

In this very short episode (under 8 minutes) I describe how I came round to realising that NOT trading your own money was the best thing I could do if I ever wanted to make some proper money at this obsession of mine. If you're trading your own money and haven't yet given funded trading a go, this brief account of mine might inspire you to give it a go.

Don't Trade with your own Money
I don't know why it took me so long - confidence, perhaps, i.e., lack thereof - to realize I would be so much better off trading someone else's money, not my own.
Mid February 2023 I started the 'audition' at Surge Trader on a virtual account of 100K. If I pass - that means hitting a profit of 10K - I get to trade 100K, again, not my money.

Having done nearly 70 episodes now since I started this podcast, I’ve noticed all the traders I get to chat to have this in common: they’re grounded, humble and self-aware, not at all flashy and loud. In fact, the vast majority don’t even talk about making money, their focus is on the mental and physical qualities they work on in order to improve their edge.
For episode 69 I got together with Alistair Todd, a trader still in his early twenties, who started trading in his teens. He taught himself, blew up a few accounts, found a mentor and never looked back. I think you’ll find he has plenty of useful insights to share with you. Let’s get to it.

This is my first podcast episode of 2023. It was recorded back in November of last year, but my MacBook Pro had a meltdown just before Christmas and what with ordering spare parts from China and Post Office strikes here in the UK, that’s set me back a bit. Anyway, here we are, and we start with a good one
My guest for episode 68 is Gary Langley, aka the Scruffy Trader. I particularly warmed to Gary’s wise and humble approach to what he does. I can’t say I always manage to get a good portrait of a person with every session I do, but I think with this one we do get that in full.

I think trader Faina Vitebsky must be the first trader I’ve had on the show who has expressed a connection to trading instruments as if they were past or present partners. It’s perhaps no surprise coming from someone who is also a writer, painter and actress. An unusual combination, you might say – and all the more colourful for it.

If you’ve been trading a while, in fact even if you’ve only been interested in the idea of trading, you’ll probably have read Jack Schwager’s book Market Wizards. A really superb series of interviews with famous traders. And you may have gone on to read the sequel, Unknown Market Wizards. Well, in this second book, the second name in the contents list is Jason Shapiro, a trader from New Jersey. Jason kindly agreed to come on to the show today, late in September 2022, to talk to me about his life as a contrarian trader.

October 2022 and we’re till grinding away in the pits of a bear market, in case you hadn’t noticed. So, it probably makes sense to be on the short side if you’re a trader, especially if you trade penny stocks. My guest today, Moshe Hurwitz, does just that. And he does it with small cap US equities during liquidity events. Let’s get to it.

That is a clip from trader Ryan Chandler’s reply to my usual question, How did you get into trading? Not quite the answer I'm accustomed to hearing.
During his recovery from a savage knife attack from a random man with mental health issues, Ryan spent days and weeks poring over charts, teaching himself fx. A year in he took a chance plougihing money from the sale of his house into his trading account and went pro. Through relentless backtesting of his strategies, he was able to design a piece of software to automate his trading. Today he spends much less time poring over charts and more helpong students and looking after his family.

Michael Taylor is a British trader who specialises in British stocks, not through any patriotic zeal for his country, rather, because he was drawn to an area of the market that is much less talked about.
He saw UK stocks as an opportunity to become an authority in a niche. And, as it turns out, he’s done very well at it.

There are some traders who will tell you the bearish action in the markets we've been sseeing since November 21 is likely to carry on into 2023 and may even produce a recession. One of those traders is Mark Shawzin, aka The Pattern Trader.
Mark and I got to know each other in 2021. Right from the get go I thought there was something special about the way he trades and the way he teaches others his own way of approaching the markets. I called him on to the show that year and not long after we began writing a book together. More on that soon, I hope.
One thing I noticed rightaway: Mark has a bias for shorting. For him, it’s kind of personal. He loves to expose inflated stocks. Who better to have on the show right in the middle of a bear market? I thought to myself. Enjoy the conversation.

Of course all sums are relative in the trading game, but the energy with which Derrick throws himself into this conversation is of itself evidence of a very resilient mindset.

For trader Peter Pirnbacher, trading has always been a means of carving out more free time away from a computer screen while still providing a decent income. So he came up with a system that now brings him a return of over 15% a year. Listen to the rest of our conversation, Episode 58 of A Trader’s Life, to find out how he did that.

What struck me first about Moritz was just how fit he looked. It didn’t surprise me to hear he’s passionate about sport. In fact, one of the things he loves about trading is that it frees up his time so he can keep fit.
Like a lot of sports fanatics, he’s big on hard work, discipline and perseverance and believes in applying those same qualities to his trading. We got together in April 2022.

Looking for a way of making passive income by taking a stake in the crypto space that doesn’t require you to trade crypto.?
Check out Yieldnodes. These guys provide cutting edge services to the blockchain network, such as maintaining e-wallets and the like.
It’s easy to get set up on the platform, and the returns are truly exceptional, averaging around 10% per month. Once you factor in compounding you could be looking at just north of 200% per annum. Here’s another thing I think is really important: Yieldnodes have allowed members to audit their incomings and outgoings and found them to be entirely transparent.
I personally think this is an exciting proposition and, if you sign up through my link, instead of the usual minimum deposit of 500 Euros, you can make a start with just 50 Euros. Heck, some people put that on the lottery every weekend! So why not plant a seed today with Yieldnodes and see what grows from there?

He has traded pretty much every kind of instrument you care to think of. Over the years he’ come to realise he’s – quote unquote – an adrenaline junky and best suited to trading fast moving instruments like indices on one-minute charts. We got together as the world was still reeling from the first two weeks of war between his former homeland and Ukraine.
This was a lively conversation dotted with some sharp inights.

From stand-up comedian to broker to professional trader – that’s been the career path of my next guest, Kenny Glick.
As it happens, Kenny still does a stand-up routine, it’s just that he does it from his home office and for the benefit of his trading students, or VWAPians, as he calls them.
The first time I came across Kenny talking on one of his live shows giving a demonstration of how he uses the volume waited price average indicator, I had a stupid grin on my face for the duration. But he’s no joke when it comes to getting results. So, stick around. This is a fun episode.

This is a clip from my chat with trader Kenny Glick.
Kenny started out as a stand-up comedian in New York. Then, when a life of being broke day in day out became no laughing matter, he gave Wall Street a shot - as a broker. That was fun, to a point, but for him the punchline surely lay in playing the role of a trader, not a broker. So he started out on his own.
The path to consistent – and by the sound of things – very lucrative profits was brutal, but he ploughed on through, losing lumps along the way, till he fashioned his own scalping strategy using the VWAP, or volume weighted average price indicator.
Today he styles himself as The Warlock, lead of has a the VWAPians (his students) and runs his own mentorship programme with a couple of trading buddies. This is a really lively episode peppered with plenty of sharp and witty insights. Listen to the full episode - #55.

This is a clip from my chat with trader Garrett Hollander.
Garrett started his career in marketing, got into trading as a sideline, and after the usual baptism by fire, with a little help from his mentor, managed to work out a way to trade his "favourite soap opera", USD/CAD (or Loonie) to make consistent gains.

Not so long ago, I had on the show a trader who trades nothing but US dollar pound. My guest today trades USDCAD, or the Loonie, pretty much exclusively. Garrett Hollander started his career in marketing, got into trading as a sideline, and after the usual baptism by fire, with a little help from his mentor, managed to work out a way to trade his "favourite soap opera", as he calls it, to make consistent gains.

Looking for a way of making passive income by taking a stake in the crypto space that doesn’t require you to trade crypto.?
Check out Yieldnodes. These guys provide cutting edge services to the blockchain network, such as maintaining e-wallets and the like.
It’s easy to get set up on the platform, and the returns are truly exceptional, averaging around 10% per month. Once you factor in compounding you could be looking at just north of 200% per annum. Here’s another thing I think is really important: Yieldnodes have allowed members to audit their incomings and outgoings and found them to be entirely transparent.
I personally think this is an exciting proposition and, if you sign up through my link, instead of the usual minimum deposit of 500 Euros, you can make a start with just 50 Euros. Heck, some people put that on the lottery every weekend! So why not plant a seed today with Yieldnodes and see what grows from there?

This is a clip from my session with trader and mentor, Louise Bedford.
I think Louise has to be without question the most extraordinary person I’ve had on the show so far. Hers is so much more than just another trading success story, this is one of those human success stories favoured by documentary filmmakers. In her early twenties she lost her job due to a debilitating neurological disorder that deprived her of the use of her arms. This kind of a setback would be enough to floor most of us. But not Louise.
Having learned to trade as a teenager, she threw herself into trading full time – trading with a pen in her mouth. Today she’s a highly regarded mentor and keynote speaker. If ever you needed some inspiration as a trader after a bad week, listen to this.

With a background as an analyst at Bloomberg for several years, it’s hardly surprising Serge has an extensive knowledge of the markets and always trades with a well structured plan for growth that includes hedging strategies designed to withstand even the most brutal corrections.

Besides trading she’s an actress and script supervisor. I can imagine her soon adding life coach to the list of careers she’s been chasing down. I found her passion and her sense of fun instantly infectious, even liberating.

in Episode 48 I get together with trader Michael Filighera.
We talk about good and bad habits in trading, how he uses the Elliot Wave to map out highly probably scenarios and prepare himself for dramatic shifts in market sentiment.
You get the feeling listening to Michael, he really doesn't need the money anymore - although, as he would say, "that's always nice" - but he does get a lot of pleasure helping new or struggling traders turn their game around.

In today’s episode I get together once again with Michael Filighera. Our main focus on this occasion is to introduce you to some of the ways Michael analyses the markets using Elliot Wave Theory in conjunction with Fibonacci retracements. I realise that sound a little dry, but believe me when I tell you Michael has a narrator’s gift for sparking the imagination.

For Episode 47 of A Trader's Life I got together with Chris, aka the Canadian Futures Trader. Chris trades treasuries; in fact, more accurately, he scalps treasuries.
He’s only been trading just over 18 months, but has already decided this is the kind of trading he’s best suited to. Treasuries might move like snails but the profit they yield with each little tick is considerably more than what you’d find on the indices. I was curious to find out more.

Why are there so few women traders compared to men? Well, women are more sensible you might reply. Trading is a high-risk game, so most women steer clear of it, that’s another reply. Some women, though, are perhaps born to trade, as is the case with my next guest Karen Foo.
Karen’s parents are traders and investors, so for Karen growing up in Singapore trading seemed a logical choice for a career. She begun trading at university, where she excelled in trading contests and after a few short years became an inspiration to many young women interested in giving trading a go. Karen Foo.

Bubba’s been trading for nearly 40 years, and has pretty much seen it all through pits to PCs. Together they run their own trading mentorship program at Bubba Trading.
Andy is a leading columnist at Seeking Alpha and over the last three decades, he’s researched, structured, and executed some of the largest trades ever made involving significant quantities of precious metals and bulk commodities.
But most importantly, from my point of view anyway, as a duo they run one of the most entertaining weekly webinars on the state of the markets that I’ve ever come across in trading.
At times this session is a little chaotic, but not without some excellent take-away insights and always with a sense of fun. Enjoy!

We all know that the biggest time component in trading is preparation. You have fundamentals, you have technicals… and a lot of noise.
So wouldn’t it be nice if someone was feeding you not merely trading signals but highly actionable data from which you could form trading plans in a fraction of the time it takes you working by yourself?
In today’s episode I talk with Eyal Mor, who heads up Better Trader based out of Jerusalem. Eyal’s small team of traders and computer wizards use artificial intelligence to produce real time information about macro events. The idea being that this filtered information can help traders make better trades.

It’s very easy to get set up on the platform, and the returns are truly exceptional, averaging around 10% per month. Once you factor in compounding you could be looking at just north of 200% per annum. Here’s another thing I think is really important: Yieldnodes have allowed members to audit their incomings and outgoings and found them to be entirely transparent.
I personally think this is an exciting proposition and, if you sign up through my link, instead of the usual minimum deposit of 500 Euros, you can make a start with just 50 Euros. Heck, some people put that on the lottery every weekend! So why not plant a seed today with Yieldnodes and see what grows from there?

This is the trail for my session with Eyal Mor at Better Trader.
We all know that the biggest time component in trading is preparation. You have fundamentals, you have technicals… and a lot of noise. wouldn’t it be nice if someone was feeding you not merely trading signals but highly actionable data from which you could form trading plans in a fraction of the time it takes you working by yourself?
Eyal’s small team of traders and computer wizards use artificial intelligence to produce real time information about macro events. The idea being that this filtered information can help traders make better trades. Listen to the full episode on A Trader’s Life.

Every now and then traders will ask themselves, Is there a broker out there that better fits my style of trading?
So I thought I’d bring on to the show someone who could answer that and related questions with a high degree of accuracy and detail. He’s an introducing broker based out of Florida and he runs his own company Forest Park Fx. Justin Herzberg.

The trailer to Episode 41 when I talk with trader Jim Simmons.
Most traders I speak to on this show come from the school of hard knocks. In Jim’s case, it wasn’t until he schooled at Neurostreet Trading Academy, over ten years after he first started trading, that he broke the cycle of giving back profits he’d taken out of the markets.
Jim’s tenacity, humility and good humour are truly inspirational. Listen to the full episode from the audio file right alongside this one on A Trader’s Life.

My guest today is a man who was trading for over 10 years before he was able to lift himself out of a cycle of ups and downs to becoming a consistently profitable trader. His turning point? The education and coaching he got through NeruoStreet Trading Academy.
So I was curious to hear how anyone could endure such a long hard slog of trading the markets, year after year, and still want to make it work.

If you can’t crack it in forex, have a go at crypto. In the case of my guest Steve Hormann he’s gone the whole hog. Not so much a trader of crypto as a collector. Through his company, Yieldnodes, Steve and his team provide a masternoding service for crypto coins.
Masternoding? you might ask. Well, yes, it’s a little complicated, that’s why I’ve asked Steve to explain it himself. But ahead of that, why might Steve’s crypto endeavour be of interest to you?
Because traders and non traders alike are making some very healthy returns from participating in the service by way of making a stake in the business.
Is this trading? No, it’s not. Which means loss of capital is highly unlikely. And yet the monthly returns are pretty extraordinary, ranging from 5% to over 19 % per month. When you factor in compounding, you are looking at returns of over 200% per cent per year.
Even during May when Bitcoin was struggling to stay above 30,000, Yieldnodes were able to give participants a return of over 7% for the month. I was intrigued to find out more, so I asked Steve to talk to me on A Trader’s Life about what he does. If you have any interest t all in crypto, I highly recommend you join us.

If you can’t crack it in forex, have a go at crypto.
My guest today tells me he used to trade forex, but after a few years of making a lot of money and giving it all back, he’s deep into crypto. Not so much as a trader, more as a service provider and a collector of coins. Through his company, Yieldnodes, Steve and his team provide a masternoding service for crypto coins.
Maternoding? you might ask. Well, yes, it’s a little complicated, but don’t worry, Steve will explain.
He’ll also go on to talk about the extraordinary monthly returns you can make by placing a stake in Yieldnodes. So stick around, because this conversation might be your ticket to some very welcome passive income without any of the risk of actually trading crypto.

My guest today is a man who started out as a musician and composer. Then one day he happened to find himself in a trading pit and was instantly hooked. Michael Filighera has been trading a few decades now. He’s made his money and loves to teach what he’s learned.
What I particularly enjoyed about this episode was the internal drama that Michael’s voice evokes. Listening back to our recording I found myself drawn in to a complex narrative in which fear, anger, discipline and an almost zen like acceptance wrestled with each other for ascendancy.

Charlie’s been trading over 20 years now and has the breezy confidence of a man who’s fought many a battle and come out smiling even on a losing day.
Among other things we cover how his trading strategies have evolved over the years, why he prefers to trade the longer time frames these days. He also offers us some useful insights on dealing with setbacks and getting back on track.

Having made a comfortable living for himself from trading, he took a look around the world and decided he wanted to help people much less fortunate than himself – he set up an anti-sex trafficking organisation in South East Asia. My guest today is by his actions alone an exceptional human being – Chris Lori.

My guest today is a unique trading veteran who, after 40 years in the game, is still pulling off killer trades. Mark Shawzin, aka The Pattern Trader, trades the big moves and reads charts the way African bushmen read tracks in the sand.
I’ve been following Mark’s webinars and his Q&As for some time now and from the get-go I’ve been fascinated by his combination of conviction, patience and sheer gutsiness in planning and executing his trades. He talks with real passion about trading, but with wonderful honesty and just the kind of dry American humour that I really enjoy. I hope you find this conversation as rewarding as I did.

Hello and welcome to A Trader’s Life. My next guest is Jay Harwood.
Jay trades cable, and GBPUSD, and almost nothing else, although he does look at EURO USD from time to time. I think this is one of the most honest and self-deprecating accounts I’ve heard from any trader so far on this podcast. A far cry from trader clichés of fast cars and beautiful girls. He has some useful insights to impart – not just about trading but about knowing yourself in life.
This episode is a bit longer than usual, but by the end of it I think you’ll have been rewarded with an authentic portrait of a humble British trader. Enjoy the conversation.

Trader Mark Doxey talks to me about the lessons he’s learned since he started trading full time a couple of years ago. Some traders profess to be uninterested in fundamentals.

In this episode I talk with Jeff Wecker, a personal coach and a top 10 Fx trader worldwide. He’s a former member of the Chicago Board of Trade, and now CEO of the Fx Global Trading Group – the world's largest provider of Fx services including unlimited funding programs, and world class education in courses ranging from Algorithmic Trading to Advanced Options and everything in between.
These are all impressive credentials of course, but what I so enjoyed about our conversation was Jeff’s sheer honesty and dry wit. This is quite a slice from a veteran trader’s life.

This is a clip from my session with veteran trader Jeff Wecker.
As you can tell, Jeff’s is as frank about his bad days trading as his good days. He’s been a top forex trader for years. His biggest pleasure these days is teaching new or struggling traders his best strategies.
This is a guy who refuses to be put down by setbacks, no matter how big. In spite of his amazing success, Jeff remains pithy and ironic about his adventures and expectations for the future.

BEFORE YOU HEAD OFF… as we all know, a lot can go wrong in trading. Some days you can find yourself gasping for breath and telling yourself you need a complete break from it.
Well, take a look at this. It’s a way of making passive income by taking a stake in the crypto space but doesn’t require you to trade crypto. The company in question is called Yieldnodes. And essentially, what these guys do is provide cutting edge services to the blockchain network, such as maintaining e-wallets and the like.
It’s very easy to get set up on the platform, and the returns are truly exceptional, averaging around 10% per month. Once you factor in compounding you could be looking at just north of 200% per annum. Here’s another thing I think is really important: Yieldnodes have allowed members to audit their incomings and outgoings and found them to be entirely transparent.
I personally think this is an exciting proposition and, if you sign up through my link, instead of the usual minimum deposit of 500 Euros, you can make a start with just 50 Euros. Heck, some people put that on the lottery every weekend! So why not plant a seed today with Yieldnodes and see what grows from there?

This is the trailer for my session with Rodni Rieta, a trader from The Philippines.
Rodni started out trading while working as a manager at Learn to Trade. Having spent a few years in the USA he’s now back home, where he trades forex and teaches trading to his own students.
We had an engaging conversation that included not only Rodni’s preferred way of trading, but also his pastimes, such as looking after his pet snakes.

Early in February 2021 I got together with crypto trader Nicholas Pelecanos. Nick got into trading pretty early on in life. When he blew his first account, he formed a trading club which became the most successful university trading club in Australia. He tried a bit of everything to begin with but gravitated to Bitcoin.
Today, as Head of Trading at NEM Group, Nick has his own list of clients and has become something of an expert in all things blockchain.

In today’s session Kevin Davey talks to me about how he went from being an "awful discretionary trader" many years ago to the award-winning and highly successful algo trader he is today.
Even though I doubt I’m going to be writing code any time soon, I was really curious to find out more about this way of trading. Just how difficult is it?
Not surprisingly, you need to have some understanding of trading and some aptitude for writing code for the strategies you devise. Then again, many of Kevin’s students hadn’t written any code before attending his classes – and it didn’t stop them from becoming successful algo traders. As with most things, curiosity, patience and perseverance are key. Enjoy the conversation.

He barely thinks of himself as a 'trader', more like an investor. His big interest right now is cannabis. The stocks, that is.

Sylvia started out as an international training and consultancy manager in the financial sector, later turned her hand to property development, and when that wasn’t enough to keep her busy she took a crack at trading, loved it and became very good at it.
My key take-out from our conversation was just how committed Sylvia to helping people – especially women over 40 – turn their lives around through trading the markets. Besides her smart proprietary software she manages to do this through dedicated one to ones with her students and a disciplined approach trading trends. Enjoy the conversation.

Not a fan of MT4? Me neither. So clunky and ugly, right? So why not try out a trading platform that's easy to use, with a nice and clear layout, easy on the eye. Very important: these guys are regulated by the FCA. If you join via my link you help me keep this podcast going - so thanks in advance if you do!

BEFORE YOU HEAD OFF… as we all know, a lot can go wrong in trading. Some days you can find yourself gasping for breath and telling yourself you need a complete break from it.
Well, take a look at this. It’s a way of making passive income by taking a stake in the crypto space but doesn’t require you to trade crypto. The company in question is called Yieldnodes. And essentially, what these guys do is provide cutting edge services to the blockchain network, such as maintaining e-wallets and the like.
It’s very easy to get set up on the platform, and the returns are truly exceptional, averaging around 10% per month. Once you factor in compounding you could be looking at just north of 200% per annum. Here’s another thing I think is really important: Yieldnodes have allowed members to audit their incomings and outgoings and found them to be entirely transparent.
I personally think this is an exciting proposition and, if you sign up through my link, instead of the usual minimum deposit of 500 Euros, you can make a start with just 50 Euros. Heck, some people put that on the lottery every weekend! So why not plant a seed today with Yieldnodes and see what grows from there?
By pass the 500 Euro minimum requirment and start participating in the Yieldnodes project with as little as 50 Euros via this link while helping to keep this podcast going.
