On this episode of the Words of Rizdom podcast we are joined by David Hale. David is a veteran trader and ex-prop firm owner that has been trading since the early 2000's. David's unique approach to trading is described in his book 'Reminiscences of a Day Trader' as "Possessing the key to a magical and highly secretive trading method". These are the methods that allow top traders to gorge on fat profits while the masses are fed generic technical methods from their gurus on Twitter and YouTube." David's incredible journey saw him become a multi-millionaire in his mid 20's to losing everything, earning $10 an hour and sleeping on his father's couch. This is an incredible episode so I hope you guys enjoy!__________________________________________Free Telegram Community! 👉🏽 https://t.me/pocketsofrizdomFree Trading Plan 👇https://words-of-rizdom.ck.page/0542be7af0 __________________________________________TRADEZELLA: All-in-one trading journal and analytics tool that provides valuable insights, trade replay, in depth reporting, and more to gain clarity, eliminate costly mistakes, and trade smarter. ⬇️Use Code “RIZ10” for 10% off your subscription ⬇️ https://www.tradezella.com/?via=riz⬇️Use Code “WOR” for 20% off your yearly subscription ⬇️ https://www.tradezella.com/?via=riz__________________________________________ The #1 Prop Firm In The Entire Industry Alpha Capital.
