Walter and Darren jump into your questions in this episode. How do you know you are ready for “real trading?” Darren stresses looking at the process, rather than the end result. Walter encourages new traders to look at trading as a job.
From this episode you’ll get the three simple questions you must ask yourself before trading real money.
Another listener’s question about trading frequency is covered in this episode. Is it possible to take three trades per day? And if so, why would you want to? Darren and Walter both agree that the key to successful trading lies in doing this one thing well and is completely unrelated to frequency with which you take trades.

Walter: Welcome to the Two Traders Podcast. Walter here and we’ve got Darren on the line. Today, we’ve got a series of questions that we have coming from listeners. I thought, what we can do is take time today to go ahead and tackle each of these four questions. How does that sound?
Darren: That sounds good. I like the questions and comments from the listeners.
