This Is How You Become A Successful Trader – Show Notes
In episode 128 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I interview Tom Constable & Brandon Turner from Two Blokes Trading.
This is a special "double" episode in which we dive
in both of my guests' stories.
Tom started to interview traders in order to understand how he
could become successful himself. He is in progression to become a
profitable technical Forex trader.
For his part, Brandon, who now trades full-time, has over
10 years of experience in different roles within the trading
industry. He is mainly a fundamental trader.
The cool part of this interview is you'll get to see what
both Brandon & Tom did before reaching the point they are at today.
Aside from being complete jokers (the funniest I've seen), they can
be great inspirations...
