Key moments

[29:32] You can say whatever you want about the charts in hindsight, but when you are seated there as a human being analyzing the charts, you still don’t know exactly for certain what’s going to happen tomorrow.
[32:17] As a mentor or somebody who somewhat has influence over the trading space, you need to promote good habits.
[32:45] If you’re confident in your abilities, it is a brilliant thing for you to get yourself a funded challenge.
[34:26] It’s what you do in the bad days that determine the future of your trading account.
[36:18] The markets, although they’re not completely random, they do have an element of randomness to them.
[37:40] Once you’ve gained some form of profitability and you’ve understood the system that you’re trading, educate yourself on one pair to build consistency.
[38:32] Even though you’re following the rules religiously, you need to still be flexible.
[40:18] When you deal with different currencies, you deal with different behaviors, and you need to spend time understanding how these currencies react differently.
[50:21] You have to think like you are a business owner of your account.
[50:41] Don’t attach emotions to your trade.

Full episode + show notes: https://tradingnut.com/marc-walton/

Key moments

[08:23] The more you sit there (in front of the chart), the more you are likely to make mistakes and do stupid things because you get tired.
[15:57] We are paid to wait as traders.
[19:16] It’s all about discipline, structure and rules.
[29:42] Trading is all about probability.
[32:11] The banks software has been heavily influenced by Fibonacci.
[43:02] If you can half the amount of losing trades you have, you’re going to have better results.
[48:22] If it’s not working at the moment, stop. Don’t trade on a live account whatever you do.
[59:02] This is all 95% planning and 5% trading.
[61:06] Take a sit back, think about what you’re doing and plan everything.
[62:40] If you want to be successful at this or successful at anything, if you’re not passionate about it and you’re not determined to walk through walls from it, then go do something else.

Full episode + show notes: https://tradingnut.com/david-hale/

Key moments

[08:48] The key is to have the right strategy. Be ready for it [volatility]. And when it hits, you have to step and really go for it.
[12:08] You’re a trader, so the goal is to find the edge.
[12:16] The goal is to find these markets that are inefficient, that there’s a lot of volatility and then look for arbitrage on those markets.
[14:28] You got to find the arbitrage and then you got to be fast in executing it.
[18:16] When you’re looking for edge, there’s really not a better strategy than market making.
[25:01] You don’t have to win all the time. You just have to be consistently punching out of the losers.
[25:24] Get your education as cheap as possible.
[25:50] If you don’t have that discipline and you can’t develop that habit, you have no chance.
[35:14] It’s good to know where the edge is but then you have to develop your strategy.
[46:38] If you’re trading without a strategy with edge, that’s not trading, that is gambling.

In this episode, we welcome back Pat Bailouni, an esteemed trading mindset coach renowned for guiding numerous seasoned traders globally.

Full episode + show notes: https://tradingnut.com/pat-bailouni-2/

Key moments

[07:29] Even the best traders out there go through winning and losing periods. It’s part of the game.
[10:30] The only mentor or teacher that you should have is the market.
[10:39] The market’s going to tell you what’s right or wrong for your system, the way you live and your lifestyle.
[11:11] You want to have clear goals. You want to have a clear picture of your life the way you look to get to and not only for your trading.
[11:45] If you want to be a successful trader, you have to also empower other areas of life.
[12:39] If you don’t take care of the macro picture of your life, then there’s going to be a lot of distractions, there’s going to be a lot of volatility that will ultimately affect your trading.
[15:38] Ensure that you have your edge clearly outlined in a trading plan and in a trading checklist.
[17:06] The market’s never wrong. The market always has to be listened to because when the market presents an opportunity aligned to that trading plan, that’s when we execute.
[20:11] Hold yourself accountable to principles and don’t beat yourself up when you deviate from them every so often, over time you’ll build that muscle.
[22:17] How can you expect consistent profitability if you’re not consistently executing in the market.
[26:41] To be a consistently profitable trader, you have to both win and lose.
[26:46] Winning and losing is both part of long-term consistent profitability. It’s part of the edge.

Full episode + show notes: https://tradingnut.com/umar-punjabi/

Key moments

[11:00] It doesn't really make sense to trade so many pairs unless you're on a very short timeframe.
[20:38] Once you do trade for a long enough period of time, it just becomes part of your lifestyle.
[26:28] When you focus on just one thing, and just only one thing, it really makes you aware about so much. Instead, if you're focusing on, say, five pairs, for example.
[36:26] When you're relying only and only on trading, and you're not profitable, it takes a very big toll on your mental health, because then you're pressurized to make money.
[36:36] Trading is something you cannot do under pressure.
[36:56] One of the biggest mistakes that I see all the young guys do, they're dropping out of college, they're dropping out leaving everything and getting into trading.
[37:12] Building an income source, which is going to pay you and continue to pay you whether you lose money in trading or not, is a very big help.
[38:12] As you're building your income source, continue to educate yourself about trading, obviously, that is always going to be there completely.
[45:07] Start developing discipline in small, small things that you do.
[45:18] Once you learn how to be disciplined into just one specific thing of your life, then you can use that quality and you can apply it to trading as well.

[08:11] You need to have good friends and a good mentor.
[12:00] The best thing is to invest in your knowledge and yourself first.

Key moments

[12:20] With good money management, good risk management, following your rules, you can make money.
[24:34] If you cannot find out where you are weak, how are you supposed to improve yourself?
[26:25] You need to calm down, relax your ass and start making rules.

[42:15] When you really understand market maker models, you can trade anything and everything, any timeframe, it doesn't matter, because the market is booked on market, maker models and buy and sell programs.
[54:48] You want to trade when the probability is the highest in your favor.
[69:02] Making money is also as hard sometimes as losing money because you have to deal with them kind of emotions.
[71:45] You have to give yourself time, it could take years.
[72:28] Just take it slow, not putting the pressure on yourself trying to rush the process. Take your time and enjoy it.

[28:24] I think a lot of people are self-sabotaging themselves. They find ways to fail.
[28:40] The trading space has a lot of scammers.
[36:33] Patience is a key trait in trading, as waiting for high-probability trades can lead to better results.

Key moments

[25:37] Trading is 70% mindset.
[27:34] Just look at the percentage. Take yourself away from the money side of it and it’s so much easier on your mind.
[43:35] If you can get a bit of a chart time in, get the experience in.
[44:29] Definitely do a lot of backtesting. Backtesting is key with certain strategies.
[45:37] Just try to get as much chart time as possible and don’t be afraid to use your demo accounts.
[48:42] FOMO is really bad for you.
[48:56] There’s going to be trade there. Just wait for the right one.
[59:28] If you have a good discipline ... then it will transfer over trading as well.

Full episode + show notes: https://tradingnut.com/aaron-luce/

Key moments

[13:42] With other businesses and avenues in life, the more you go all in, the better it’s going to be, but in trading, you have to have balance.
[15:53] Chart time in the beginning is amazing, but sitting there watching live price action do nothing is probably one of the worst things you can do.
[16:55] You have to have a trading plan.
[19:37] If you want to go from full-time working to full-time trading, swing trade and then day trade.
[43:42] In trading, the ultimate saying is - "keep your losses small".
[46:10] Everyone wants to predict where the market is going to go. You just have to react to it.
[46:19] Just trade what you see.
[48:04] As long as what you got you know works overtime, forget about what everyone is doing. It doesn’t matter.
[48:09] You’re on your own journey, your own trading path, planning your own plan and just stick with that.
[51:33] If you can trade successfully just trading support and resistance, that tells you that the issue with most traders isn’t their technicals.
[52:03] The hardest part in trading is managing your emotions.
