Is Trading Really for You? Why Most Traders Approach the Market Backwards


Listen Later

Is trading truly for you — or are you approaching it the wrong way?

In this episode, I’m joined by Peter Robbins, a trader with over 50 years of market experience, to mark the release of his new book, The Trader’s Journey. We talk about the biggest misconceptions traders hold, why focusing on money too early can slow real progress, and what it really means to treat trading as a serious profession. We explore competence, risk, execution under pressure, and the difference between wanting to trade and being prepared for what trading demands.

📘 The Trader’s Journey is now available for purchase.
