What I Learned Talking to 70 Traders in London

Sponsored by Pepperstone

Last week, I headed down to central London for a Pepperstone trading event, where I had the chance to chat with dozens of traders.

Some were relatively new. Others had decades of experience. But as the evening went on, I started noticing some interesting differences in how they approached the markets.

In this episode, I share three observations from those conversations, including:

• Why newer traders often put unreasonable expectations on themselves.
• The difference between knowing a lot about trading and actually having a clearly defined edge.
• Why the most focused traders often know exactly what they don’t trade.

And I finish with a simple question: Could you explain your trading edge to someone in 30 seconds?

A few reflections on experience, specialisation and finding your own way in the markets.
