The Traders Podcast with Rob Booker

For Episode 263, your host Rob Booker is solo-broadcasting from Paris, France. In this show Rob uses a set of articles that he’s been writing for Experts.ForexMagnates.com about cutting losses quickly as a launching point for his sentiments. Rob suggests that perhaps the practice of cutting losses quickly isn’t the Gospel truth that we’ve been told it is, and he says it’s often blasphemous to say so.

Rob talks about a friend of his who made $21,000 trading a counter-trend system. Then Rob discusses another friend who made $8,000, and he did not close all of his losing trades immediately. So, Rob gives some tips on how to trade in a different way, other than closing losing trades immediately. And Rob tells what he thinks makes a person “a professional trader,” including the specific trade size that a pro should take. Good stuff. Don’t miss it!

Welcome to The Traders Podcast, Episode 262. In this show your host Rob Booker talks about the notion of traders being their own worst enemies.

Rob also invites any listeners who live in Paris, France, to e-mail or leave a comment, that he might meet you this week. Thanks for listening.

The Traders Podcast with Rob Booker

Episode 259 is a rather unusual Traders Podcast, because your host Rob Booker and the producer Jason Pyles share some personal anecdotes concerning what they learned during their two years of missionary service in Italy and Tucson, Arizona, respectively. Rob says that a lot of what he knows about being a good trader comes from lessons he’s learned while knocking on people’s doors in Italy. For instance, Rob talks about how all the rejection he faced as a missionary informs his trading career. All of this and more in Episode 259 of The Traders Podcast. Join us! And thanks for listening.

The Traders Podcast with Rob Booker

In Episode 258, your host Rob Booker begins by discussing a New York Times article about Justin Zormelo, a private adviser in advanced analytics for NBA players. Rob uses this as a topical springboard to address having too much information versus having too little (for trading). Next Rob talks about Google’s self-driving cars, which leads to some brief thoughts about trading robots that have no human intervention.

Next we move in to our listener feedback, with an e-mail from Calvin who asks if it’s illegal to trade with an off-shore broker. Then Scott asks about brokers, the MT4 Platform and the Asian Session. Scott also asks Jason if he has started trading yet, and he inquires whether Rob and Jason are religious, which leads to an inevitable discussion about whether God helps traders! You don’t want to miss this one! Thanks for listening to The Traders Podcast.
