Why Most Traders Fail

In this episode of Words of Rizdom, Lewis Borsellino returns to break down the mindset and discipline that made him one of the most legendary traders of the Chicago floor era. A former CME floor trader who traded for Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch and EF Hutton, Lewis made $1.4 million in a single day in 1987 and at one point was solely responsible for 10% of the S&P’s volume.

Lewis breaks down his hard hitting Ten Commandments of Trading to lessons on losses, ego, patience and rebuilding after losing massive wealth, Lewis explains why process, honesty and rule-following matter more than hype - and why real success goes far beyond money. We hope you enjoy this interview!
