Robin Hood Trader

Robin Hood Trader

I am a trader just like you. I have run the gauntlet of trading tortures in my quest to reach the Holy Grail of Trading and, along the way, have learned through painful experiences how to succeed and profit consistently. As I reminisce on my first trading efforts, I realize that I was absolutely clueless early on. The smart money crowd regularly emptied my account and filled their purses. They readily accepted my generous contributions.

As time passed, I came to realize that unless I changed my approach to the markets, I was destined to continue to pay for the “Smart Moneys’ “ “ Big cars and Big cigars”. I made that shift and learned how to trade successfully and I am here to tell you that you can not only preserve your capital but can in fact take money out of the markets consistently without staying glued to the computer screen and without losing sleep.

<em>Mod note: make sure to see the great comment below by CompBanker</em> I come from a small town where nobody had ever heard of consulting or IB. I was fortunate enough to attend a top target college (a good Ivy) and land a gig in IB at a BB/EB. I'm starting full time this...
