Desire To Trade Podcast | Forex Trading Tips & Interviews With Highly Successful Traders

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. I’d love if you can take a few seconds to leave a review on iTunes or Stitcher.

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. I’d love if you

In episode 90 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I interview David Bergstrom, a trader and a pro when it comes to creating strong systematic trading strategies and testing them. David has been developing a software that helps traders test trading strategies in a matter of a few hours, so I was curious about the process he undertakes to truly validate an edge in the market. Trading over 100 strategies at this point, David also has a solid process he goes through wen it comes to deciding what exactly to trade. That is a great lesson for any trader.

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 Ch

Mandi shared some really important insights on what she considers to be the pillars of your success in trading. She has already helped and coached a lot of traders by showing them why they act a certain way and how to evolve to the next level of trading.  What amazes me the most is how Mandi simplifies the things that make traders successful into a 3-part framework, which she detailed during the interview.  More About Mandi Pour Rafsendjani Mandi Pour Rafsendjani has been an active trader in the financial markets for over 15 years, trading a variety of instruments such as Equities, Futures and CFD’s (SNP500, Dow Jones [Emini], XJO, DAX, Commodities and Forex).

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 suc

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.
