Hello team! This is first episode in the history of Chat With Traders podcast, where I’m doing it solo. Actually, this episode is a recording of a talk I gave at Noosapalooza 2017, which is a trading conference hosted by Nick Radge in Australia.
My talk was called ‘Six Ways to Emulate Talented Traders’ and I reference many conversations I’ve had on this podcast through the talk. I’ve linked to the full list of episodes I’ve referenced, including a brief summary of my talking points over at chatwithtraders.com/145.
The audio quality isn’t the best so I hope you’ll forgive me for that. Please enjoy and I always appreciate any feedback you have.
Enjoy and I welcome any comments, again at: chatwithtraders.com/145
Thanks for listening!
