Band of Traders - Together We Trade

This week in the China Shop, Vico from TRADEPRO Academy stops by to talk about the recent workshop they hosted, and to ensure we've been journaling! Seriously though, make sure your journals are up to date before starting this one...About VicoVictorio started trading with George Papazov in 2015/2016 as an early member of TRADEPRO Academy, after his dad happened to meet him in a Starbucks (he may have spilled coffee on him). Victorio was a lost college student at the time in Engineering, hating it but not knowing what to do. After befriending George, he was convinced to get into trading and switched his degree to Financial Services. Victorio traded throughout college, and ended up paying for some of his schooling through options swing trading using some of his government loan (blowing 50% of it at first)*Note from Victorio and 2 Bulls: Please don’t risk your tuition on options!* If you'd like to hear more about Victorio's trading strategies and ideas, he frequently posts on Twitter and is active in TRADEPRO Academy's Discord ServerGuest Links:TRADEPRO Academy (Our Affiliate Link)TRADEPRO DiscordYouTube ChannelSocials:Vico TwitterIf you like our show, please let us know by rating and subscribing on your platform of choice!If you like our show and hate social media, then please tell all your friends!If you have no friends and hate social media and you just want to give us money for advertising to help you find more friends, then you can donate to support the show here!Paypal donation link2 Bulls Discord:https://discord.gg/Q8hft2zMTMAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
