Hi Richard--Can you do an interview of an Index Futures trader? Below are people who are the leaders in the USIC Brandi Archer + 54.2% Magnus Sigurdsson + 49.3% Matthew Shake Pryzby + 40.7%

[@sunflowerhk100]

I really like Richard's interview style. He speaks just enough to help his guest by giving background, summarizing, moving the conversation along. He lets his guest speak and you can see him really listening calmy and give meaningful responses. He is a calm, humble and emphatic interviewer

[@mudasar1]

Marios spoke like an alter ego of any struggling trader maturing into a master trader. Rare to find such honesty and clarity in his thought process not about teaching the art of trading but the balance you need to live life along with. We lose ourselves in the process to make it happen in trading but remember the words "don't be in a hurry to build the mastery" Golden nugget "If you make 50% return in a year for a decade, your grandsons will thank you." So decide your approach towards trading according to your personality or psychology. Thank you Richard and Marios for this one, clearly one of my favorites too!

[@TraderLion]

Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it and I agree

[@SarkisKlinik]

I would add , It is good idea for any trader when you make a 10 - 20 $ profit per day then just stop trading for that day and prepare for the next day. I learned from my experience, It is better to gain very little than to lose big amounts from your capital specially in sudden distribution days which happens all the time specially in premarket times. One thing is real that this stock market is not build to make you rich. It is a game of institutions and smart money.

[@borsbossen]

@@TraderLionif you manage to get him on, make sure you ask him on how he times the market and how he handles the mental aspects of trading. He never really goes into these things in the videos i have found.

[@_M_D_M_]

If that happens, I am joining only to hear him cuss. Lol.

[@jayhamilton7573]

​@@borsbossen As far as I can tell, he just always uses the same scans, looks for the same setups. So he doesn't really time the market, but the market dictates how many setups are hitting his scans.

[@borsbossen]

@jayhamilton7573 i saw one video where he said that he mainly checks the Nasdaq 100 and that he wants to see an uptrend where the 10 day is above the 20 day and at least one of them is rising (preferably booth). It would be interesting to hear him elaborate on his situational awareness routines.

[@lastsupper100]

Thanks Richard for this interview. This is one of the best I’ve seen in a long time. Marios seems like such a genuine person who went through the struggles, most of us are going through, and I certainly resonated with his feelings. I loved the part in which he said life outside trading is more important and most of us get stuck inside this bubble. Once you achieve mastery trading is all about your mental strength and going through several periods of emotional swings. Thank you for the great video.

[@TraderLion]

Thanks for watching! Glad you found it helpful!

[@ESM77]

I keep coming back to this video when I need a re focus. This guy has it all down. It was all on him. He studied for years, came up with his own convictions, trades with what he can mentally handle pain wise, trades almost exactly like Qullamaggie does. 3 setups wise. It’s so cool seeing the same things repeated by highly profitable traders. Gives me the focus I need to keep going.

[@TraderLion]

You nailed it! It's great to learn and be inspired by others, but true mastery comes when you create your own system!

Thank you Richard for this interview you did w Mario. If not the best for sure top 3. In the beginning of the interview he was showing a yellow book but I didn’t get a chance to see which one was it. Perhaps you know which one it was. Unless I run into him since I spend half a year in the states and half in Greece and I live only 25 min away from him . More then 3 hours well worth and spend for sure

[@danharvey61]

Great interview. I took many notes. After listening to the entire interview I do have some questions. 1) He mentioned that he's risking only .0025 - .0040 of his account size. Is that a percentage of each trade he placed? And not his entire account. Is that the stop loss positioning? Because he mentioned having up to 60% or more of his account being traded on one trade later in the interview. Bit confusing there. Also he talked about 4% or more draw downs on a trade too so the numbers don't jive to me. 2) He also mentioned that he didn't hold a trade overnight... but, he also said that he entered "here" on the daily chart and exited several days later on a different day. Apparently I didn't catch what he only hold for 1 day. Could use some clarification here. Thanks for any help on this.

[@prashammehta5526]

Thank you for this video. I wanted to know who the guy he talks about at the start at @23:20 time, the Twitch streamer. I can't catch his name exactly. nevermind, found him Kristjan Kullamagi

At 53:54, the "weekly gainers" scan shows only 140 results. Why? Is it "weekly gain over 30%"?

You can play around with the % gain you want to see, but 20-30% is a good threshold.

When I set the 21EMA on my 15 minute charts in extended version , the touching areas of price to that moving average line does change and the chart looks little bit different. So in the extended version, the premarket and post market candles are also included and some of those candles are dots. What to do to get exactly your same 21 EMA on 15 minute chart? Should I turn off the extended tab?
