Full episode + show notes: https://tradingnut.com/scott-taylor/

Key moments

[12:54] You’ve got to be so laser-focused and just not give up and that’s the most important thing.
[15:40] It’s about habits, routine, system and processes. You’ve got to plan your week in advance.
[18:03] Forget the things that you want to get done. Write down the actual things that you need to do.
[18:25] If you’re not consistent in putting profit from the markets yet, you can’t rely on trading as an income.
[20:45] It’s about finding the right mentor that can teach you about the right strategy and how to intertwine that with your lifestyle and your habits.
[31:06] Even if you’ve been a learning forex trader for like 5 to 6 years, the moment that you go into a prop firm challenge, it’s completely different psychology.
[32:07] Funding is one big thing. You’ve got to fail the challenges to go through that learning process so you can then give advice to other people later on.
[32:17] Before you go for funding, make sure you’ve got at least 3 months of consistent, live trading results in a small personal account.
[32:26] When you’re doing the challenge, make sure that you’re taking only "on plan" trades.
[32:38] When you are in a funding challenge, that’s not a normal trading because in a real-life scenario you don’t have a time limit.
[34:15] The way that you really fix your mindset is by nailing down your routines.
[57:38] It doesn’t matter how many trades you take in a week, it’s how much profit you make at the end of the month.

Full episode + show notes: https://tradingnut.com/ethan-garland/

Key moments

[07:54] You have to have something that you’re running towards and something you’re running away from.
[08:46] You have to be really strong psychologically to deal with friends and family who doubt you, who judge you.
[11:10] Visions can turn to greed as well and people get blinded by that.
[12:11] You need people that get excited for ideas and will support you in what you’re doing.
[13:00] Your psychology needs to be very positive when it comes to trading and you need to have a good mental state.
[13:23] If you can find people that give you constructive criticism, build you up instead of break you down and work with you as a team, it’s very important in your journey as a trader.
[20:44] You can add certain layers of discretion to your strategy that can improve your win rate.
[40:39] Get that first withdrawal and get the refund as quickly as you can. Don’t get greedy.
[41:37] A lot of traders talk about "invest what you can afford to lose" but when there’s literally nothing to lose, then how can you not follow your trading plan.
[43:30] Have a plan and stick to it.
[50:31] As long as you’ve got a plan and you follow the plan; you will be profitable.

Full episode + show notes: https://tradingnut.com/ken-chigbo/

Key moments

[19:37] These markets can be extremely lucrative but they can be a killer as well.
[21:13] It’s so key that you know the macros of what’s going on with the instrument that you are trading.
[21:45] Make it a routine to write down and then put things that you don’t understand into Investopedia, into YouTube.
[22:43] Make it a habit to be aware of yourself.
[23:10] Make it a habit to get out and away from your screens otherwise they will over consume you.
[29:10] When you’re inline with the fundamentals and what’s going on, you’re going to be able to anticipate more correctly.
[31:33] Conditions happen so you always have to optimize otherwise you’ll get left behind.
[33:27] This is a long-term game. If you want longevity, this is over the long term.
[47:24] Get yourself into a position where you’re confident enough that you can consistently attract money from the markets.
[47:34] Try to understand your fundamentals where you can, try ang get yourself in a good head space and have a clear plan.
[49:04] If you don’t risk to much in the market there’s going to be a big chunky amount of emotion that is completely removed from your approach.

Full episode + show notes: https://tradingnut.com/navin-prithyani-2/

Key moments

[08:12] You listen to what the market is telling you. That’s where the real money is.
[08:20] Forget about thinking what you do makes the difference. Just focus on what is being done and what are they trying to tell you.
[12:14] Trading is the process. It’s the process to make the cash and cash itself is the representation of something that you’re going to buy.
[15:27] Rich means lots of cash which you can burn then you can be back on the streets. Wealth means it will never end. It will keep coming.
[33:04] Trading is not a sport that you’re born with, you have to build it.
[34:42] In trading there’s no such thing as “at a certain level you’ll get paid something”, it’s either you get paid or you don’t.
[38:28] Know when to buy before a buy is established. Know when to sell before a sell is established.

Show notes

Dapo Willis' trading trajectory is a compelling story of perseverance and eventual triumph, marked by significant setbacks and an eventual ascent to managing a staggering $150 million.

Full episode + show notes: https://tradingnut.com/dapo-willis/

Key moments

[22:51] When you lose your first capital in forex, this is exactly when you want to learn how to actually trade the market properly.
[23:14] Most traders actually don’t start learning until they lose their first trading account.
[24:16] The market is such an emotional battle.
[31:57] You want to learn. You want to test. You want to fail. You want to fail fast and fail forward.
[36:23] The market is all about patterns.
[36:59] You have to have seen a significant amount of patterns formed in the market before you are able to have a holistic understanding of the market.
[48:03] This question people need to keep asking themselves – “the people who are succeeding, what are they doing differently?”.
[48:10] Trading is boring. When you do trading right, it’s not fun.
[49:40] The people who make a lot of money from the market are not always in front of their screen.
[66:03] Forex market is an investment vehicle. You have to treat that as such.
[79:55] When you have patience and you have a lack of luck, then you can make more rational decisions.

225: The "Real Reason" 95% of Traders Fail & How To Be The 5% Who Don't May 03, 2023

Show notes

Join me in this captivating video podcast as I sit down with Tyler Malone, a full-time Forex trader who has spent years refining his craft.

Full episode + show notes: https://tradingnut.com/tyler-malone-2/

Key moments

[09:48] 95% of trader fail and we accept that as the truth.
[11:41] Control what you can. Let go of what you can’t.
[12:33] People say trade like a robot and they think that means trade emotionless. That’s not actually what it means. It means trade and make-decisions like a robot would.
[13:46] Discipline, patience, consistency, trusting you process, all these things that feel good when you hear them but don’t actually make you good, they are outcomes.
[16:47] You don’t need to know any more than you already know.
[17:09] You become disciplined, at the same you become a successful trader.
[17:36] In order to take the skill to get the outcome, what we have to do is find out which actions and habits are required to repeat over and over again to achieve that outcome.
[20:04] Actions and patterns are what make you who you are.
[21:58] When we can quantify or put numbers to a behavior or to an action or a habit, that’s when everything changes.
[22:28] Data acquisition is the most important part of trading.
[22:59] If you can’t trade the strategy as supposed it should be traded, you will never make the money that you’re promised when you’re backtesting.
[26:14] The key to trading is to always be able to take the next trade according to the rules.

Today, we bring you the story of Joe Caruso, a former Amazon delivery driver turned Forex trader who has taken the trading world by storm with the help of his mentor, Derek Vandelinder.

Full episode + show notes: https://tradingnut.com/joe-caruso/

Key moments

[11:40] It’s very hard to be profitable on your first year of trading just because of the psychological lessons that you have to learn.
[25:34] There are times that something looks better on the H5 than it does on the H4.
[31:21] If you are patient, you stay disciplined and you wait for your confluences and your timeframes to line up, you are almost guaranteed a win.
[35:10] There’s such a relationship between the type of personal growth you have to do as somebody who’s in recovery compared to somebody who’s trying to become a profitable trader.
[36:50] Don’t get stuck up. Don’t feel like you’re above using indicators.
[39:34] Two or three confluences doesn’t always beat the higher timeframe if it’s going against you.
[40:36] If you lose your money too fast it takes you out of the game.

In a world where financial success seems like an elusive dream for most, Erik Smolinski stands out as a shining example of what's possible with hard work, determination, and a little bit of luck.

Full episode + show notes: https://tradingnut.com/erik-smolinski/

Key moments

[11:42] You have no say if the trade moves into profit. The part you can control every single time is your risk.
[17:58] If you can’t make something look good in a back test, good luck making it look good in real trading.
[20:45] One of the hallmarks of successful traders’ (long-term) is pattern recognition.
[30:10] Price and volume is king in almost any timeframe.
[44:47] The idea of trading like a robot is nonsense. You’re not a robot and you never will be.
[53:33] By writing out a trading plan you start to become responsible for the pieces you can’t control.
[53:53] Once you start to establish actual, observable, quantifiable profitability, start going live.
[58:23] Get serious about it and make a plan otherwise it’s not going to happen.

Full episode + show notes: https://tradingnut.com/jarrod-goodwin/

Key moments

[21:11] Algorithmic trading strategies are very different to something you have ever tried to manually trade on the charts.
[31:21] Stay away from short-term strategies, sort of day trading strategies.
[31:49] Stay away from trading intraday. Let your trades last 2-3 days to 3 weeks.
[32:05] You’re really going to struggle if you will just be looking at intraday trading within Forex.
[32:46] The longer that you can stay in a trade, the more profit is available to catch.
[33:03] Find someone’s ideas and just start testing them.
[42:17] Just keep on going and you will find something that works.
[45:28] Try and work out what sort of a trader you wanted to be.
