Full-Time Trader Making A Blast In Cryptocurrency Trading
In episode 165 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I interview
full-time trader Houston Truong. He is one of the people that I
relate to in trading, who does what I do, is more advanced than I
am, and I want to learn from him quite a lot. Houston also started
The Montreal Traders Meetup. For the past few months, he has been
pushing me to trade cryptos. He started this almost a year ago and
had some success with it. Now, this is something he does on a daily
basis and something he enjoys.
So I wanted to get his perspective on how to do cryptocurrency
trading; how to start, what to look for, and how to go beyond the
noise in crypto to be able to succeed in the field, and more.
Watch the video interview here.
