Interview with George AKA @RollyTrader - Chat with Traders Episode 110

George, aka @RollyTrader is an Australian equities trader who specializes in a momentum “slash” swing trading kind of approach. George has held a few finance related jobs but he’s been independent since late 2009.

During this interview, George and I talk about the lessons he has learned early on his his trading career. He also dives deep into how coaching and mentoring has had a huge effect on his trading and all the juicy details about the setups George trades. It was also cool to hear about his involvement with venture capital, which you’ll want to pay attention to.

I do want to remind you that you are solely responsible for whatever you do with your trading, please remember that. It’s because George and I get into a lot of specific details about trading setups during our time together. Just because it’s been successful for George, doesn’t mean it’ll give you the same results.

Sit back, relax and please enjoy this interview with @RollyTrader.
