This is Aaron here, and I’m super excited to be sharing this episode with you today. It’s such a helpful episode (more than usual) for so many of you because there are some nuggets in there. In fact, there are so many actionable takeaways you’ll want to grab a notepad and pen to jot it all down.
Brannigan Barrett is a futures traders who covers eight markets. These include bonds, commodities, currencies and equity indices. He used to be a trader at the prop firm Futex. Currently, he’s a part of Axia Futures.
Brannigan and I chat about how to become a progressively bigger and better trader, how Brannigan prepares when he hears major news announcements. He also goes deep into how a “dogfight” attitude has helped him improve his career as well as his daily journaling process.
