  Successful Trading Mindset Challenges (scale to $10,000/month) In episode 154 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I am bringing back full-time day trader and psychology coach Mandi Pour Rafsendjani. We talk about 5 mindset challenges that people face when they want to scale their trading to $10,000 a month. This is a big number and it’s a goal that a lot of people want to achieve. I have seen these mindset challenges for myself that I had to push them away over time. They didn’t change in a day, they didn’t change in a week, but I had to work on those. If you aspire to get to the $10,000 mark per month, this is exactly what you have to work on. I encourage you to listen to this carefully and make some notes on what you have to work on, then listen back in, let’s say, three months from now (90 days). Ask yourself what have you done, what have you improved on, and what can you work on. That will be amazing and that will be a great way to get value from this.

How To Choose The Best Forex Broker (with the new rules) In episode 151 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I am joined by Trent Hoerr to discuss how to choose the best forex broker. We discuss how to choose a broker for U.S. residents. In addition, we cover new regulations in the U.K. for Forex traders & brokers. Trent is a financial market professional with global experience.

He works for Forest Park FX...

How To Trade Forex Like The Banks In episode 150 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I interview Forex trader Tony Sycamore on how to trade Forex like the banks. This week’s episode is a follow-up to a first episode I recorded a few months ago (in episode 103). After his career as an institutional trader, he moved on to trade for himself and is now getting some partnership with different companies. In this podcast, Tony shares how people trade in banks. If you've been wondering what kind of things people look at institutional traders, Tony is the perfect person to answer that. What I really like about Tony is the fact that he has a whole process when he looks at trades and he goes through a series of steps including looking at the big picture and looking at the context in which he’s going to trade. That’s something I think everyone should apply. I personally got, once again, a lot of value from this interview and I’m sure you’ll do the same.  Topics Covered In This Episode Who Tony is and what he does [2:18] T

Stocks Trader Routines & Strategies To Get Wealthy In episode 148 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I interview Jerremy Newsome, CEO and co-founder of RealLifeTrading in the US. I interviewed him a few episodes back (Episode 113) but today we go more in detail into what he trades, the strategies and also the routine he follows on a daily basis. In this podcast, one topic we touch on in this interview which I think we never talked about before, is what does it take to become wealthy from trading. This is major because you cannot just trade day to day and become a wealthy trader. The definition of being wealthy, as Jeremy says, is “being able to make money while you sleep” -- and that won’t happen with trading most of the time.

From A Lucrative Job To Professional Trader And Fund Manager In episode 135 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I sit down in Hong Kong with professional trader, fund manager, author, and educator Ray Barros. A lawyer by profession and training, Ray gave up his lucrative law practice in the 1980s to focus on his first love – trading. His initial attempts at trading failed miserably and he suffered heavy losses. But, after making all the mistakes in a trader’s manual and then some, Ray finally hit on a trading approach that gives him the market edge. This approach has proven effective in both trending and congested markets, allowing him to trade profitably and consistently. Thereafter, he was highly sought after by major banks to manage their funds. At the same time, he was also very much sought after as a trainer to train other institutional traders based on the strategies and techniques he developed. In the early 1990s, he became an outsourced FX Trader and this gave him the flexibility to focus his next great
