I Went From Taxi Driver To Full-Time Day Trader

In episode 553 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, you will be listening to an interview with Kevin Hunt to talk about how he went from losing everything in business to becoming a full-time trader living in Thailand. Kevin shares the terrifying moment he burned his last safety net and how that pressure became the catalyst for mastering the one thing most traders ignore: their own psychology. He dives into his simple, mechanical approach to the London session and why having a set of rules isn't enough—you have to learn how to lose before you can win.

The video is also available for you to watch on YouTube.
