In episode 95 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I interview Rauan Khassan, a hard-working Forex trader who has been involved in the market since 2011. Rauan has been through the various steps of successful Forex trading, and has been able to get to a level where he trades other people's money. In September 2015, Rauan joined TradingView, a leading social trading network that unites more than 1,500,000 traders online, where he oversees regional versions development. In this interview, we tackle the Rauan's role at TradingView. He has seen first-hand how strong the gap is between being a great analyst and a great trader. His perspective on the currency market and trading other people's money make Rauan an excellent guest to go through how he was able to step into managing money. If you have a full-time job, this is an episode you don't want to miss! Rauan explains how he is personally involved in day trading while working at TradingView. He goes in-depth on the topic of reaching our personal trading targets mont

In episode 94 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I interview Gino Topini, a Forex, stocks & crypto-currency trader based in London, UK. This man is one of the smartest traders I've met. Gino has what I'd call a master drive to speed up his success in trading and he does it the right way. While I met him at the China Forex Expo in Shenzhen, I understood that Gino has taken sort of the "smart way to successful trading", which is very uncommon to start with. Starting to trade in 2007, he decided to go on his own in his trading Forex trading journey, and therefore spent more time studying and practicing his craft in the market on a daily basis. Gino is also the co-ower of a business named Mj Web Studio LTD, which specializes in SEO, copywriting and web development. That is an excellent example of creating multiple streams of income and not putting all your eggs in one basket (one of Gino's advice). Throughout this interview, we went together for the basic of trading that the trader so often tends to forget. G

In episode 93 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I interview Stacey Burke, a Forex trader who has learned about trading the hard way while blowing up some small accounts and making all the mistakes most losing traders make.  Through that process, however, he has able to identify where the real problems were in his trading and how he could finally turn the corner to become one of the few profitable traders. Coming from a sporting background in ice hockey and Ironman triathlon, hard work and a competitive nature are some of the attributes he believes are necessary to succeed in Forex trading. Stacey gives credit to other great traders for his success. Brent Penfold's advice on being "the best loser", but he also implemented things in his daily routine to help him continually keep getting better at the process of trading. Like Mike Bellafiore says "how good can we get?" Here's a key takeaway: "Trading mastery is a journey, not a destination. Focus on constant progress, NOT perfection." (click to tweet!) I’d love if

In episode 92 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I interview Kiana Danial a trader with a special emphasis on building her portfolio over time. She is helping people grow their wealth by investing. Here it's not a matter of getting rich quickly. Instead, Kiana looks at the market from a long-term perspective and that's how she saw most of her success in trading. What's most interesting about Kiana's trading style, however, is that she is still very involved in the market. She usually knows what's going on and what it's best to look at. Kiana confirms the idea that successful trading isn't a full-size-fits-all activity. You cannot expect to succeed by copying other people. As a matter of fact, those who see the most success in trading understand who they are. I’d love if you can take a few seconds to leave a review on iTunes or Stitcher.

In episode 91 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I interview Mike Tedeschi, a day and swing trader running a portfolio as well as a trading chatroom. At the time of the interview, he has been trading for himself for over 6 years. Mike looks at the investment world through a contrarian lens. By going against the herd, he positions himself to achieve the largest possible returns in the quickest time frame with the least amount of risk. One of the topics we touch on is the need for a trading plan. Mike, like me, has also been developing a trading playbook that contains multiple trading strategies he uses on a daily basis based on how the market moves. We also touched on the topic of trading alerts. As the main takeaway, you can make money in the market without being involved in the market at all times. There are times when the market isn't producing anything worth trading and that is where you need to be able to step away. There are absolutely no reasons to go in the market when there are no trades. I’d love if you

In episode 90 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I interview David Bergstrom, a trader and a pro when it comes to creating strong systematic trading strategies and testing them. David has been developing a software that helps traders test trading strategies in a matter of a few hours, so I was curious about the process he undertakes to truly validate an edge in the market. Trading over 100 strategies at this point, David also has a solid process he goes through wen it comes to deciding what exactly to trade. That is a great lesson for any trader.

Several months ago, I stopped using my favorite charting platform - Meta Trader 4 at the time - to do all my technical analysis on TradingView. After being asked on several occasions, I thought it was time for me to come up with a TradingView review and to discuss the things I like and don't like about the online charting platform. What Is TradingView? To start with, I just want to ensure I eliminate the confusion about what TradingView is and isn't. In short, it's an online portal with charts...but it doesn't stop there. TradingView is an entire social/trader's network where anyone can publish a trade idea. For some notable people to follow (if you have any recommendations, let me know!): Akil Stokes - https://www.tradingview.com/u/Akil_Stokes/ Jason Graystone - https://www.tradingview.com/u/J_Graystone/ Etienne Crete (yeah, that's me) - https://www.tradingview.com/u/EtienneCrete1/ The first thing I must point out is that TradingView is accessible pretty much anywhere (by that I mean it isn't blocked in Ch

In episode 89 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I interview Mandi Pour Rafsendjani, a trader & coach that was recommended to me by a listener of the podcast. Mandi shared some really important insights on what she considers to be the pillars of your success in trading. She has already helped and coached a lot of traders by showing them why they act a certain way and how to evolve to the next level of trading.  What amazes me the most is how Mandi simplifies the things that make traders successful into a 3-part framework, which she detailed during the interview.  More About Mandi Pour Rafsendjani Mandi Pour Rafsendjani has been an active trader in the financial markets for over 15 years, trading a variety of instruments such as Equities, Futures and CFD’s (SNP500, Dow Jones [Emini], XJO, DAX, Commodities and Forex).

Siam has a very interesting story of how he transitioned into trading and how he had to learn to trade the hard way. Today, however, Siam has used Forex trading as part of its other streams of income to become financially independent. His trading takes on from 5 to 10 minutes a day on average, which means that Siam has enough time to concentrate on other interests/passions/businesses. Throughout this interview, Siam placed a lot of emphasis on the fact that replacing a full-time job with full-time trading is none sense. The goal of Forex trading is to increase the freedom in your life, and Siam Kidd sees trading as a stream of income. I’d love if you can take a few seconds to leave a review on iTunes or Stitcher.
