Al Brooks: The Best Insights On Trading Price Action

In episode 76 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I interview Al Brooks, who you could certainly describe as a professional trader since he left his career as an ophthalmologist several years ago.

Al’s is deliberately focused on trading price action. According to what he describes, he scalps the future market every weekday by reading candlesticks. He believes that there is “significance to every tick that takes place during the day and none of what happens is noise”.

For this new year, I’d love if you can take a few seconds to leave a review on iTunes or Stitcher. Let me know honestly what you think of the podcast because the only way I can improve is through your reviews.
