A TRADER'S LIFEAuthor: Nicholas Penrake
How do traders do it, overcoming setbacks, managing their risk and reining in their emotions to take chunks of money out of the markets? Showhost Nicholas Penrake chats with traders from all kinds of backgrounds, inviting them to share with us their highs and lows on their way to achieving consistent results. Trading is a tough game they say only around 5 per cent of those who try actually make a profit. Listen to A Traders Life to glean some valuable insights from the market wizards Nic get to talk to. If you glance at my profile on LinkedIn, youll see Im no big shot trader. Mid way through 2023, after nearly three years' trading, I'm still only break-even. But every week I learn something new. And part of that learning process is enriched by talking and listening to other traders, those with more experience than I have.We all know that emotions can seriously derail your trading aspirations. It's been my experience - and I hope you agree - that every so often listening to other traders' stories can not only be instructive but inspirational, even comforting, to a degree. Just one example: one of my guests lost 50,000 in just a just a few months. Todays shes crushing it in commodities. How did she do it? You come here to find out.And heres the thing the picture Im getting is that its not so much about the money, its about the challenge.Its also about freedom: finding a pursuit that can make you an income that only relies on your smarts and an internet connection.If you can get there, trading can potentially free up your day, allowing you to explore a world that extends far beyond the daily commute to an office.So, if youre a trader interested in comparing your story with the stories of traders whove cracked it, or even if youre just curious about trading, grab your headphones, open your browser and have a listen A Traders Life.
