Tom Basso's Insightful Journey: From Engineering to Trading Mastery


Listen Later

Ever wonder how an engineer would approach the unpredictable world of trading? We sit down with seasoned trader, Tom Basso, whose unique approach stems from his engineering background, treating trading as a continuous data processing endeavor. Join us as Tom shares his journey from managing other people's money to navigating his own funds, while also penning a book to help his clients become better investors. 

Tom's perspectives on the stock market are as diverse as the range of assets he trades. From commodities to crypto futures, gold, silver, and platinum, Tom's strategies are as varied as they are insightful. We explore his experiences with drawdowns, his ingenious strategies to counter them during sideways markets, and the importance he places on understanding both profits and losses. Tom's advice for achieving speed and experience in trading different asset classes, along with his views on the current market, and the fine line between predicting and trading, are not to be missed. 

But what about the risks that come with trading? Tom's got you covered. We delve into his risk management strategies in volatile markets, the role his engineering background plays in his approach to trading, and how position sizing can significantly impact returns and risk more than buy and sell indicators. Tune in as we also discuss his play on earnings gaps and his time-saving trader's resource website. Perfect for anyone keen on trading, investing, or managing risk, this episode is packed with insights and invaluable advice. Join us and take a peek into the exciting trading world through Tom's seasoned lens.
