Cracking the Trading Code: An Engineering Perspective with Tom Viktor


Listen Later

Have you ever wondered how an engineer’s mind can crack the code of stock markets? Join us as we engage in a riveting conversation with Tom Viktor, a stellar trader with an engineering background. Through his eyes, we navigate his journey into the volatile world of trading, beginning with simple concepts of support and resistance, and progressing into the profound Elliot Wave theory. From managing a full-time job in the energy sector to making sense of market sentiment, Tom offers valuable insight into the art of balancing professional life and portfolio management.

Shifting from personal experiences to market strategies, Tom unveils his unique approach to handling euphoric market sentiment. Rather than placing a directional bet, Tom prefers to stay in cash, providing an enlightening perspective on why being bearish doesn't always mean going short. You'll also get a sneak peek into the conditions that would lure Tom to invest his cash into the market. So, want to decode the tactics of trading in a euphoric market? Tom’s got you covered.

Our conversation with Tom does not stop at market sentiments; we also delve into the ever-changing dynamics of the market. Reflecting on how market movements have sped up since his debut in the post-2008 era, Tom shares his insights on the potential impact of this rapid pace on traders. From leveraging Twitter as a financial news source to deciphering market sentiment via financial media, Tom's expert insights serve as a guide to navigating the trading world. We even touch upon the peculiarities of the real estate market and the importance of diversifying one's trading strategies. Tune in, and indulge in a conversation that promises to redefine your understanding of trading, market analysis, and portfolio management.
