How To Succeed At Trading For A Living
In episode 138 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I interview full-time trader Moritz Czubatinski exploring the topic of how to succeed at trading for a living.
Moritz has been trading for quite some time. He founded Tradeciety and Edgewonk (a pretty cool trading software) together with his business partner Rolf.
Moritz has lived in Asia for 7 years and moved back to Germany to run his businesses. He has also been a day trader and is right now transitioning to swing trading and position trading.
In this podcast, Moritz talks a little bit more about his tactics and some of the uncommon ways that are used to become a profitable trader and to continue growing.
