High-Performance Trading & Making It Full-Time

In episode 162 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I talk with best-selling author, and trading mentor Louise Bedford about high-performance trading & trading full-time. After a long waiting time to interview her, she finally was able to come on the podcast.

I really love the topic we discuss in this interview; things like candlestick, high-performance trading, how to go from part-time to full-time, and how she lived that herself. Listen to her story as it’s quite interesting and she went through a lot of ups and downs which you’ll hear about more in this episode.
