Today's guest, Gary Yang, has been a full-time home-based independent trader since 2012, specializing in the International Foreign Exchange Market (Forex).

He blew up two trading accounts when he first started his trading journey in 2008. But since then, he has developed a keen sense of the financial market as well as his own style of trading after receiving mentorship from a retired bank veteran.

Gary’s ability to anticipate short-term trend and price levels using a combination of technical analysis and sense of market sentiment, helps him transit successfully into full-time trading thereafter.

Today’s guest, Jay Tun, is a fairly young trader who started dabbling in the financial markets during his undergraduate days and made an unconventional decision to become a full-time trader right after graduation. With 10 years of full-time independent trading experiences under his belt, I’m sure you’ll be able to pick out ideas and concepts that you can internalize to accelerate your growth as a trader.

Today's guest, Nishant Arora, is both a full-time professional stock market investor and trader.

Despite starting his career in traditional business ventures, he subsequently stumbled upon the stock market first as a value investor and then as a technical trader.

Nishant is also the founder of Techno-Funda Society, a very engaged Facebook group of traders, where he dispensed his trading philosophies and principles freely with the intention to help traders on the right path.

Today’s guest is a veteran trader and retired hedge fund manager whose trading journey is definitely worth turning into a biography book. Despite owning a profitable legal practice in his early days as a lawyer, he abruptly sold the practice in 1980 and dived full-on into trading within knowing what he was really doing. 

Over the subsequent 6 years, he blew up his account on multiple occasions and lost a total of AUD 750,000 during that period. Somehow, he persevered through the entire ordeal and finally saw the light at the end of his tunnel when he registered his first profitable year of trading in 1987 and did not look back since. 

In 1990, he started his hedge fund with AUD 20m of investor money and traded it to nearly a billion dollars over the next 20 years. In Dec 2010, Ray registered the most profitable year of his career and as usual, decided to abruptly end his hedge fund career on a high, by returning about 943m dollars back to his investors. 

Since then, he went into a semi-retirement mode. Instead of making more money than he can spend, he decided to turn his attention towards paying it forward by starting a trading school to coach and mentor budding traders. 

With almost 40 years of both painful and glorious trading experiences under his belt, I’m sure we’ll all be able to learn and get inspiration from his story. It’s my pleasure to introduce to you Ray Barros.
