For me, comparing myself when I was live trading in 2016 to now is just an absolute stark contrast. Then, I made every single psych mistake you could think of.

It has been the majority of my journey up until now and often I get asked 'why did it take you so long to backtest' - to me, it took longer than I expected but really it just is what it is. I made my peace with it around March 2018 and just focused on the process of testing and getting it right.

I have hit a handful of hurdles in my journey that actually require me to reroute what I have been doing.

In this episode, I discuss documenting your own trading journey. I know with my own journey that the thing initially stopping me was.... (drum roll)... other people's opinions! The thing is I did not even RECEIVE an opinion from anyone on it! So often these things are actually your own insecurities in your head and the quicker you go and DO the quicker that voice becomes mute. I talk about the benefits of documenting your journey - and I really hope that these encourage a couple of you that are sat on...2019-11-1716 minThe Trading Journey PodcastEpisode 4 - Asking 'Stupid' QuestionsWelcome back to The Trading Journey Podcast! In this episode I wanted to discuss the topic of 'asking stupid questions.' Now, there are no stupid questions when you are learning, but I know I often felt uncomfortable asking about things I was unclear on because I always felt like the annoying person taking up everyone's time (and I know one or two of you have the same issue!). The reason I did this episode is because whilst I did often feel uncomfortable, it would never stop me just going for it and asking. But I am aware that...2019-11-1311 minThe Trading Journey PodcastEpisode 3 - Rushing My Trading JourneyHey guys, welcome back to The Trading Journey Podcast!

Where do I even start?Welcome back to The Trading Journey Podcast! In this episode, I discuss the first trader challenge I had on my journey, "I am so confused. Where do I even start?" Unlike becoming a doctor, or a lawyer (or another well-known career path in society), becoming a trader seems to be a less traveled route. This means you have to do more digging for yourself to find out where to start and which educators are trustworthy. I also discuss how I got clear on my trading education in terms of creating a clear plan from how I aim to get...2019-11-0614 minThe Trading Journey PodcastEpisode 1 - Pilot IntroductionWelcome to The Trading Journey Podcast!
