It’s pretty rare I come across women who trade, but when I do, they are very often my most interesting guests. My next guest is no exception.

Not only is Alla Peters Plocher an exceptionally gifted trader, but in my view at least, an extraordinary person all round. 

I could go on, but now you’re here, I really want to get out of the way and let Alla tell you about her life in her own words. If you love amazing stories, you’re in for a treat.

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'.

Trader Rajan Dhall started out as a personal trainer. As well as helping others exercise their muscles, he exercised his initiative by chatting with traders who worked at JP Morgan in the offices above his gym. 

Fast forward 14 years and Rajan is not only making consistent profits through trading, he’s also helping others do the same while developing his own prop firm, DND Capital, which follows a different model from most firms out there.
