Today we’re really excited to announce a brand new podcast that is going to be kicking off next week, called Smarter Trading.

Smarter trading is going to be a fairly classic interview style show where Evan sits down with professional traders that live and breathe financial markets every day, and in most cases have been doing it for decades.

We’re going to chat with traders from all different disciplines: day traders, swing traders, quantitative traders, fully discretionary traders, and everything in between, which means we’ll have a lot of different perspectives to learn from.

Every Monday starting next week April 26, 2021 you can expect new episodes to drop.
