Desire To Trade Podcast | Forex Trading Tips & Interviews With Highly Successful Traders

Algorithmic Trading Strategies (Moving To Automation) In episode 133 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I interview Matt DeLong, an algorithmic trader & business owner to discuss the process of moving to automation. Over time, Matt went from being a manual day trader to making returns in the market through the use of algorithmic trading strategies. While I find interest in the topic of algorithmic trading, I find a lot of value in speaking with people who are in-the-action and executing on their ideas. That's primarily why I wanted to bring Matt on the show! Watch the video interview!
