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

Kunal Desai: Success & Growth Factors In Your Trading Career In episode 83 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I interview Kunal Desai, a day trader by day and industry leading instructor by night. He is the Founder and Lead Instructor at Bulls on Wall Street and has helped thousands of traders reach their trading goals through his unique live trading courses since 2010. I enjoyed seeing how passionate Kunal was about trading and helping people. He inspired me to work even harder when he said: "if you want to teach, you must be willing to work harder than your students". More About Kunal Kunal began trading stocks during the Dotcom Boom, experiencing several ups and downs while growing his account and his knowledge of how the market works. It didn't take very long for him to realize he had a passion for trading, and that he was particularly drawn to the excitement and profit potential of day and swing trading. While he grew his skill set through experience and self-education, it was mentorship under Paul Singh that really helped Kunal recognize his strengths and weaknesses, and develop a trading system that fit his personality and goals. After years spent trading and developing a winning trading system, Kunal founded Bulls on Wall Street to teach others how to take control of their financial destinies. It started with a chat room where Kunal could talk about the stocks he was trading and watching, and a series of blogs and videos to provide market analysis. The site grew from there, as Kunal began using his experiences as a trader and teacher to hold webinars and live trading course sessions. After years of trading and honing his system, Kunal created the Bulls Bootcamp, a comprehensive trading course to impart everything he's learned as a trader and provide the mentorship that was so helpful to him as a new trader. Today, Kunal is still trading and teaching. He's spoken at the Trader and Investor Summit, Traders4ACause gala event, been featured in numerous podcasts, and covered in the Huffington Post, BroBible, and Inc.com. In 2015, he spoke alongside market luminaries such as Peter Brandt, Jack Schwager, and James Dalton. I'd love if you can take a few seconds to leave a review on iTunes or Stitcher.

Miguel Tiexiera: Trading Forex While You Travel Show notes: www.desiretotrade.com/miguel-tiexiera/ In episode 82 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I interview Miguel Tiexiera, a Forex trend trader and active traveler who has spent years crafting his trading methodology allowing him to trade and travel the world at the same time. I brought Miguel on the show specifically because he has the knowledge of what is necessary to develop so you can trade and travel at the same time. This is also what I've been particularly working on in the past 2 months. More About Miguel I opened my first trading account in 1995 and with a few weeks of basic training, I thought I was ready to trade! Within a month I blew my trading account! Realizing my errors; no risk management, lack of knowledge… I still had a desire to succeed as a trader. I then enrolled in The Chartered Market Technician program. Over the next two years, I completed level I & II. During those two years, I didn't trade as I had no capital! I spent many, many hours studying charts and the course material. Then in 1997, I got a job as a technical analyst on a forex desk with a bank and so began the next chapter in my trading career. I traded forex and interest rates over the next 12 years and in 2009 I left the bank to do some traveling. In August of 2014 while on a cycle trip from London to Lisbon I was doing 2 things that I really enjoy, traveling and trading the financial markets using a trend following approach and that is where the name "Traveling Trend Trader" comes from. I have since learned how to code trading systems and spend time doing research on new trading ideas, doing live broadcasts, writing blogs – all about trading of course and spending time in the DT community in between getting out on my bike and traveling.

In this Q&A episode, I discuss how someone can better trade with a full-time job. That involves knowing how to best manage your time and implementing a few things to make sure you remain effective. 2 Tips For Trading With A Full-Time Job Most people starting off in Forex trading don't have the chance to trade full-time from day #1. Tip #1: Establish A Solid Schedule And Block Off Time The first to trade while having a full-time job is to spend some time planning how you'll spend your time. I discuss how I block time off in my calendar constantly. That is very important for me to stay focused. Tip #2: Prepare, Trade, And Review Every Time While it can be easy to show up, trade, and leave, that is a sure way not to move forward. As a trader of any kind trading with a full-time job, you must combine 3 major activities. Even if you prepare or review for 5 minutes, that's still a good start! The advice shared in my Facebook Live Q&As are based on my own experience and the interviews I had with multiple successful traders on the Desire To Trade Podcast.
