Key moments

[13:44] Take that stress off of yourself, have a plan go and forth, and have something to fall back on.
[32:59] When you take the information and you take all the rule-based pieces of that information, you can apply those rules because it’s very laid out, but there’s a lot of things sometimes where there’s gaps and you jus
[36:32] Make it your own. That’s where you’re going to find success.
[37:26] It’s more important to know when not to take the trade than to know when to take the trade.
[46:33] Structure is probably the #1 most important aspect of trading.
[47:48] You need to be able to tell yourself a story as the market is playing out.
[50:10] Don’t revenge trade. Don’t just get back into a trade one minute after you exit.
[52:20] Stay humble. The moment you think that you’ve figured it out, the market will very sharply remind you that you have not figured it out.
[52:30] As long as you’re trading, you’ll continue to take lessons every single day until you’re done trading.

Full episode + show notes: https://tradingnut.com/daniel-cheung-4/

Key moments

[10:24] Take it slow, do it methodically, focus and take the trade as if it was a live account.
[20:11] Funded trading is a whole other ball game. It’s not even trading on its own because you have rules to adhere to.
[21:39] You have to have a funded trading plan.
[25:46] If you can find people who’ve had multiple payouts from different firms, they are the people you want to follow.
[28:58] When trading becomes a hobby, you end up trading a lot better.
[31:59] Trading is incredibly easy but incredibly hard because of the discipline it requires.
[34:57] You need to take holidays to reset, to reduce your overconfidence, to control your emotions and have a good time.

Key moments

[23:35] Confusion is good. As long as you’re confused, that means you’re trading, you need to draw out something.
[27:56] At the end trading comes down to simplicity.
[28:09] Trading is not a gambling mission. It’s not casino. It’s not poker.
[28:23] You need to keep it simple in a way that it’s not interacting with your own peace.
[37:59] Education is important in life. Never believe in dropping out of university.
[38:06] You need to educate yourself based on what you love and what you want to do in your life.
[50:17] You need to study your own self. You need to study your own persona. You need to figure out your own self.
[51:36] It’s just a video game. It’s all mental. It’s all in the head. It’s all about you.
[52:18] You need to be smarter and wiser with your money.
[54:34] You need to focus on one pair, one session. That’s it!
[59:11] A strategy is something that is valid for one event.

Full episode + show notes: https://tradingnut.com/alex-lera/

Key moments

[09:38] Charts are like books. Full of words and sentences. They will have a certain meaning if you’ll use them in a certain context.
[35:46] Whenever you have a time limit set by someone else to accomplish the target, you will always stumble.
[43:23] Trying to do good in a very complex environment with very complex methods, it’s going to make being successful a lot harder.
[55:26] That’ a loss, it’s part of the game. Accept it because no system is 100% bullet-proof.
[56:32] Pay attention to what you feel when you open a chart.
[56:35] Pay attention to the urge that you feel of being in a move that is happening right now.
[56:55] Focus on understanding market structures from a time and price perspective.
[57:37] Master yourself. Try to pay attention of all those urges that push you to push the button when you know you’re not supposed to.
[57:53] Your heart wouldn’t be racing when you open a trade if you have a rule-based strategy that you know you follow.

Key moments

[07:39] If you are putting so much effort on the chart and you are not showing psychology, you are not going to win.
[11:21] When you see things that you improve, you got the patience.
[12:03] Once you made good rules, your mind knows it.
[25:45] You have to work on yourself, and you have to think outside of the box.
[30:40] Make yourself, your goals and target realistic.
[34:01] You have to keep your profits longer and you have to cut your losses at the right time.
[36:09] Take the loss that you can afford to lose and that you can accept that as a loss.

Key moments

[14:10] It has to be a perfect combination, the timing, the motivation, the discipline. It’s got to be this perfect combination for you to truly get to that next level of consistency.
[36:23] What a lot of people can’t quite understand with the strategy with trendlines is the fake outs.
[38:12] Being able to identify the range as soon as possible is key.
[41:05] As long as the price is continuing in a trend, you’re going to stay in that trade for the entirety of the trend.
[50:14] Consistency with one strategy. Do not try to hop around. Just try one strategy as long as you can.

Full episode + show notes: https://tradingnut.com/kevin-davey-2/

Key moments

[11:44] Trading ideas are your raw material and they come into your factory just like if you are building watches, you want metal.
[13:59] When you have that mindset of “Hey, I’m just going to be the ultimate trader”, you won’t know when you actually have something good because what you’re looking for is something that’s unusually great.
[16:41] Usually, the more complicated your idea is, the more perfect it is.
[22:28] Discretionary traders do have a very tough time switching to algo trading and vice versa.
[23:06] The mindset of a discretionary trader and an algo trader are totally different.
[28:24] Out-of-Sample data is the best way to predict your future performance.
[28:48] There’s always some luck involved in a good back test.
[47:24] You don’t necessarily need thousands of trades to get something to work.
[58:48] You really have to have a plan upfront for when you’re going to stop trading any of these strategies.
[59:43] What is optimum is having something in place before you start trading.
[65:09] There’s one of the things people don’t realize with algos is no matter what software you use it’s not going to be trouble-free.

Key moments

[05:00] Without the ability to embrace the uncertainty, you stand zero chance in creating consistency in trading.
[05:54] You don’t know when your edge is going to present itself but, you should know that it will present itself if you built the trust in yourself and in the market.
[07:48] To develop patience is a skill.
[12:17] It’s not about when to be in the market, it’s more important to know when to stay out of the market.
[20:43] If you don’t have patience in life, you don’t have patience on the chart.
[23:26] Most traders are trading to prove somebody that it’s not a pipe dream.
[35:00] Our equity curve is a representation of the beliefs we have about the market.

[64:16] The way of succeeding is just as old as time. It’s by being patient and putting in the work.
