  • So you know about Ukraine, you know about Gaza, but did you know there’s an even bigger war raging in Africa? At least in terms of death toll. i'm referring to the war in the Congo. Even though millions have died and many thousands are still dying, it’s a conflict that's hardly reported.

    My guest for this episode is a man who set out to make a film about what’s been going on, and in so doing put an assassin’s mark on his back.

    Kim Yew, filmmaker and trader, talks to me about film and his absolutely extraordinary win rate trading with a proprietary fibonacci tool and a strategy he learnt from Alla Peters-Plocher.

    Boost your performance levels in front of your charts

    I was looking for a way to boost my energy levels, without resorting to more coffee, tea or snacks, when I came across Magic Mind.

    This unique energy drink comes in these handy, little bottles and works like a shot. You knock it back in a gulp or two and it boosts your energy for the next few hours without any of the usual downside of coffee or tea.

    Nice taste, too. Close to passion fruit, but not at all sweet.

    I tend to have my usual coffee in the morning then take one of these little Magic Mind bottles around midday - to carry me through the afternoon session.

  • Shoot for the skies as a day trader or bypass leverage altogether and aim for a 10% return investing in stocks?

    Writer and investor, Will Nutting, prefers the latter. For one thing, it gives him more time to travel around the world exploring investing possibilities of ten overlooked by the mainstream.

    Will runs a successful fund, also Nuttstuff, a newsletter which he describes as ‘No nonsense, common sense, stock ideas and conclusions.’

  • We can probably all agree trading has some bad connotations. Gambling and scam being the two words that readily spring to mind.

    My next guest is first and foremost an entrepreneur in online education. He’s not in fact a trader. But he passionately hates gambling and wanted to introduce some fresh transparency and genuine education to the trading world.

    So, a few years ago, Zack van Niekerk teamed up with a man who does trade and together they created The Trading Cafe and The Trading Academy.

    If you haven’t yet managed to be consistently profitable in your trading, or you’re looking for some new ideas to pepper into your strategy, I highly recommend you stick around.

  • Just as some people are good at long distance and some are more suited to the 100m, some traders prefer scalping, while others prefer the higher time-frames.

    Alex Spiroglou has decided he fits in the second group. He prefers spending his time studying technicals and likes to take his time before entering and closing a position. Slow and steady wins the race, you might say.

    Alex is also the Founder and CEO of SMART Trader Systems. To quote his website: 'his vision is to create a small, strong, Spartan-like, professional trader hub, whose members are willing to share ideas , techniques and motivation, because they realise that teamwork stands in the heart of great achievement.'

  • A few days before Christmas 2023 I got together with Tomasz Nogowski, a Polish trader who has picked up a Scottish accent after living in Scotland for a number of years.

    Tomasz is the first trader I’ve had on the show whose first career was spent working long hours in a kitchen as a chef. You might think this is irrelevant background information, but as Tomasz himself noted, his life as a chef - serving up his best food at speed in a steamy kitchen - has served him very well trading the lower timeframes.

  • Trader Tomasz Nogowski talks to me about how he came to realise he could apply some of the skills he developed as a chef to his trading. Perhaps not surprisingly he’s a scalper. Fast and furious is how he likes it. Listen to the rest of our conversation from the episode alongside this trailer.

  • One of the most familiar questions we hear successful traders being asked is, "How did you achieve consistent trading success? " South African tader, Robert, J. van Eyden has written a book aiming to tackle that question in some detail. I got together with Robert at the end of November 2023 to glean some lessons from him that might help traders get to grips with that word 'consistent'.

  • If you’re interested in the part volume - in particular, volume spread analsyis - has to play in picking a winning trade, this episode is for you.

    Trader, mentor, author and CEO of TradeGuider, Gavin Holmes got into trading quite by chance when he met a professional trader while working in events. The two men got talking and Gavin started to gobble up everything he could on the subject of supply and demand.

    Where does the smart money leave its footprints? he wanted to know. Volume. How to scan for it, how to read it? Done manually that would take forever. So he built some software to help him identify financial instruments that were getting ready to pop. What he and a coder came up with not only worked for him, it’s worked for thousands of traders around the world.

    Gavin and I got together in early September 2023 to chat about his transition from police officer to salesman, from student trader and more recently fund manager. He’s a thoroughly gregarious chap and I hope you enjoy the conversation.
