New trader
Just found this program. As a new trader it’s very helpful to hear people talk about market history and trading experiences. It would be more helpful if the host could drill down on guests favorite metric. Recently an older trader expressed his love of horizontal lines vs diagonal lines on a chart. It would have been h...
Read MoreEpisodes have gotten boring
I recommend the host focus on traders lives and experiences instead of constant general trading tips, so much talk about discipline/mental framework/mentorships instead of giving us stories to learn from like the old episodes. Get more into life stories and crazy trading events these people have gotten into punctuated ...
Read MoreInvaluable Resource for an Aspiring Trader
I’ve so far listened to the first 13 episodes of the show, but have already learned so much valuable information from seasoned traders. I began learning about trading last month, and one of the most value-packed of the learning resources I’ve found so far has been this podcast. Few other places seem to offer the kind o...
Read MoreGreat podcast. But Tessa has to
If it wasn’t for the fast forward button I would not be able to make it through this podcast. Tessa makes this almost unbearable to listen.
Interviews are great but the preamble at the start of each show is terrible
Move the female’s rambling monologue to the end of the show not the start. It’s turning a lot of people off because nothing is being said and it doesn’t make sense to reference a bunch of other episodes when we’re about to listen to an episode. Aside from that the questions and quality of guests are really good
Great podcast
One of the better podcasts about trading. They interview real traders with real ideas. I’ve learn a ton from listening to this podcast. The hosts are real traders with real interest in learning.
Essential for traders
