Desire To Trade Podcast | Forex Trading & Interviews with Highly Successful Traders

The Master Of Trading Mindset In episode 232 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I interview Khaled Maziad. He is a Civil Engineer from Sydney, Australia turned trader and coach specializing in the mindset and emotional aspects of trading. This focus on the Mindset, mental capacity, and emotional intelligence helped him achieve success in trading. In the interview, he gives some great tips on how to improve your trading mindset and turn your trading around. Here is a small highlight from our guest Khaled Maziad: Trading is where I faced my dark side and went through a transformational process to the person who I would like to become. I realized that traditional trading psychology has flaws as it only focuses on trading. I use a holistic approach based on emotional intelligence and neuroscience to help traders gain mental clarity and emotional balance. Although researching about Psychology, Neuroscience, and Emotional Intelligence is my passion, I am not a psychologist, and I'm a professional Civil Engineer. With this great intro done, let's get started!!! >> Watch the video recording! In This Episode, You'll Learn...

Trade News in Forex & Understand Volatility Have you ever tried to trade news? Personally I have. This goes back to 2015... "Why?", you may ask. Because that myth is HUGE out there. News releases happen fast and seeing profits quickly satisfies our brains. But what if I told you that trading after news releases could be even more profitable than during? Indeed, trading news has its many challenges: Wide & varying spreads Ambiguous reaction from the market Delay in getting the info (banks & institutions know the results ahead of you) So I'm not saying it's impossible, but I believe there's a better way to use news. And recently, I sat down with Chris Weston, Investment Manager at Pepperstone. I wanted him to tell me and share with you how he's personally using news. We obviously go over how to trade news and the kind of stuff you can expect from any news release. You'll also get to learn about volatility... ...and what to do when it's generally high in the Forex market. I cannot stress enough how important it is to be prepared for all situations. This is a great episode to listen/watch for that! >> Watch the video! What is one thing you are going to implement after listening to this podcast?

Understand Forex & Indices For Maximum Returns in 2020 Have you ever looked at the list of currencies, indices, and other CFDs your broker provides? There's a lot of stuff there. And most people don't even know a fraction of that.

In episode 228 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I sit down with Chris Weston, Investment Manager for Pepperstone. We discuss how you can understand currency pairs and stock market indices in order to boost your returns for the next 12 months.
