Joining Kyle in the China Shop this week and making his first ever podcast appearance is the other half of Vanta Trading, Mr. Banks. Listen in as we discuss a range of trading topics, from adapting your trading to fit your life, figuring out who you are as a trader and even the added pressures of trading in a spotlight. Mr. Banks also talks about the importance of community, and having someone you can share struggles with that will help keep you accountable. The pronunciation debate however, still lives on!About Mr. Banks:Working as a commercial banker and trading on the side helped Mr. Banks develop his trading style into what it is today. As a banker, his main thought is: “what’s the worst that can happen and how can I mitigate that risk?”. Taking that same thought process into trading has made him focus more on his trade setups. Trade with confidence, trade what the market gives, and limit the unknown factors. Guest Links:Vanta Trading - Website - Visit our discord for our discount code!YouTube ChannelSocial Links:Follow on Mr. Banks on TwitterSponsorshipsSupport for 2 Bulls is brought to you by ​MANSCAPED™​, who is the best in men’s below-the-waist grooming. ​Their products are precision-engineered tools for your family jewels.
