[@hugosimons5455]

These interviews are worth more than 5 years at University. Thank you very much for sharing

[@filmike1]

Hugo Simons so true!

[@AnthonyVMx]

So freaking true.

[@millerscot3395]

Many countries are not well known about this trading business but if u are new we can still help you. Btc trading is the Best💰💰💰💰💰💰

[@abdulsamadadams7458]

Lol😂😂😂. It's daunting how very true this is

[@SOS_12]

I just started watching this I hope I feel the same. :)

[@leophotographyhk5248]

The most valuable point in Adam's sharing is his (and as a trader, in general) experience on the Path to becoming an independent trader, on how one would ride the ups and downs, and when would the trader be most vulnerable (eg. after just made a series of winning, or when trying to scale up). Thanks Adam for his sharing! And thanks Aaron for being a great host. Not every host has both the intelligence and patience. Aaron is one of the few brilliant 👏

[@colin2397]

My biggest game changer is when I stopped lying to myself. Cut your losses. I’ve spent months being bullish on shit I bought too high and then was stuck bag holding while lying to myself that it will go up. Cut your loss it will change the way you think. If you can’t access cash then you can’t make money. Always take profits and scale into positions. If it goes against your plans cut it leave it and come back. Most times I’ve done this I’ve come back and make almost perfect entry by letting it come to me instead of thinking you know the trend. Just my thoughts after changing my life the last few months. Great interviews btw.

[@lovenpeace271]

One of the best things that Aaron does is not interrupt a traders thought flow and just let's its flow like water, words flow off a traders tongue. big difference between TV talking heads and Aaron's interviews

[@gmiles119]

This guy is talking reality. I believe that if something he says causes you some discomfort, you will find he was right, if you stick around long enough. On the other hand, the things he is saying are comforting to those of us who have gone through what he says will actually happen to everyone just starting out. Well done.

[@josouk5950]

...the first sign of success is that you stop losing money - not necessarily making money, but you stop funding your account with more deposits - once you have reached that stage, you are in the 'elite' of people who tried to learn how to trade and actually made it through the most difficult phase - so very very true !!! Great interview.

[@prelude12341]

so, always keep tight stops?

[@unprofitabletrader9245]

Well, I'm funding my account more slowly now so I guess I'm on the right path. Even had a few green weeks, but gave it all back smh

[@donho4109]

This was a very good interview. I have gone through my shares of learning from the market and having an edge and controlling your risk is paramount to being a consistent & profitable trader. I wholeheartedly agree that when you stop adding/transferring money into your account to keep it going, that you have reached a milestone and have turned the corner on your equity curve. I have gone through more “boom and bust” cycles than I care to share. I have lost several fortunes (hundred of thousands) and then had to work back up from the pits of hell to do it again and again to see myself do the boom/bust cycle again. It wasn’t until I found Mark Douglas that I was able to discover my underlying issues for my repeated failures. I wish you all luck with your individual journeys in trading. Enjoy learning and discover what works for you. Take good care!

[@ThaoTran-vb6dp]

Spot on by the guest! I’m a.16 year full time trader. Took me 5 years to break even after suffering big loss in 1st year. “Learn to be a trader yourself”. Is such great advice! Thank you very much Aaron for your channel!

[@stevefriedlander7053]

Aaron, best interviewer with best guests! You’re a STAR! 👍

[@serephraim]

You've had a lot of great speakers on this podcast, and this one particularly resonates with me. Thanks for taking the time to interview Adam Grimes. Look forward to more quality podcasts!

[@justinholtgrave]

I completely agree with what he said about only really needing one time frame. Only using one time frame helps prevent you from closing a trade too early during a pullback. Many times I have closed trades too early for them to go right back in my favor. Two time frames is perfect. One to find setups and one higher TF to confirm direction of long term trend.

[@kennethcitizen8041]

This is Definitely my favourite Podcast.. Aaron Fifield is doing a great service to all Traders with varying degrees of experience. The great Traders' Mindset is on full display with this vehicle of excellence..

[@rexonroaster2972]

Listening this podcast in 2022 It's kinda reality of trading the way we think of trading Btw love from India🇮🇳

[@katyayanidevi3553]

@ 40:00 talks about edge... HAVING AN EDGE OVER RANDOM. It can be a pattern or intuition or fundamentals. (also, Basic understanding of Probability.)

[@alllove3717]

Cheers mate.

[@chewie1355]

Thanks.

[@mukomanathan4044]

Listening to him clearly explain what is an edge as a fill up my spreadsheet and see that my approach "work but not that well" is just about the biggest booster i need right now

Aaron, I have been listening to your channel for a little over a month now and really enjoy sitting down and listening to your interviews. This one, in particular, is one of my favorites. Adam has so many gems of wisdom and honesty in this interview that really resonate with me. Just wanted to say thank you for this one, and please keep up the good work! Also, are you going to be offering shirts again any time soon!? Would definitely love to get my hands on a couple. Cheers!

[@bulltraderpt]

Another great interview Aaron, keep it up. Enjoyed this very much, he is one of the few to explain exactly how it is and what ground work needs to be done.

[@ChatWithTradersPodcast]

+bulltraderpt - as always, it's appreciated! Adam was brilliant and very realistic too.

[@bulltraderpt]

Yes very much agreed, sometimes I struggle as to what my edge is, but really it is a higher probability of others thinking the price is too cheap and people coming and buying after I've bought, i.e. there is perceived value on the table (for me) and those buying. Cheers from the UK.

Thanks Aaron !!

Thank you!

[@malthus101]

This guy was some real talk. Prescient timing, as I've just discovered what I think is a strategy that might be working for me and it fills me with fear that it might be a fluke, or luck or whatever. But I have no choice but to press on with it and refine and tweak it then test it over time and in different market conditions. I'm sure I'll learn lessons along the way... better than sitting and staring at charts just "wondering" what I should really be doing.

This guy is so right , very transparent great trading journey of his.

[@simplyp9219]

"art and science" is one of my favorite books

[@peterp4753]

All you have to know is the interst rates, yields on bonds, especially 10 year bonds, relative to 200 day moving average, pick the best stocks in any sector you want to trade, use 3 technical tools in your trading and really pay attention and know when to EXIT your trade, for profit or loss BEFORE you place a trade. Be disciplined about it. That's it, you'll make money in the long run !!

[@brysonjarrett5114]

This man sounds exactly like Mark Douglas, great stuff.

[@nowanobady]

1:06:00 the best advice! thanks!

[@denisdornstauder6632]

9:00 ,, What was the thing you was struggling a lot in the beginning? ‘’ -> ,,Being under capitalized’’ I think this is a pretty good thing as a beginner other wise you would blow accounts faster than you would loose money in Las Vegas.

[@ADA98310]

Adam Grimes is legit

[@thepostman9664]

Pretty good interview Aaron..

[@forexknowledgeacademy224]

An insightful interview. One of the main messages here is for traders to understand the concept of probability and have faith in your strategy if it has a statistically proven rate of more wins over losses. Strategies are not difficult to devise but very hard to trade with discipline. Finally strategies should be very simple to follow. Beware of fitting technical indicators to work with your strategy.

[@ChatWithTradersPodcast]

+Forex Knowledge Academy, nice summary! Thanks for listenin'

[@ryuxfx52]

Do you still trade?

[@TheArkhamRebellion]

I am always amazed by how perfectly Adam Grimes describes trading. This guy really has it worked out.

Aaron good afternoon. Please add subtitles to this video. Thanks in advance. P.S. It's all for the same to watch with translation in a foreign language.

[@theguy0594]

He was right about the time it takes. I'm a good 5 years in but 2.5 of those were really interrupted tbh

[@aldig3935]

Trading like is fishing with live or cut bait,make sure ur at the right place at the right time or ur gonna run out of bait with no fish to go home with.

do you only cover stock trading? What about Forex?

- EXCELLENTE • SUPERBO • TOP-NOTCH - #AdamGrimes #ChatWithTraders #AaronFifield

[@stevenpaulniles]

Great point that all analyses consider the past, never the future. It is so silly that people stress that past results may not correlate with future results. That's true with everything: weather, cooking, and trading. Yet, people denigrate analysis on this basis.

[@vincentuhlke3018]

awsome!

[@ChatWithTradersPodcast]

+vincent uhlke thanks!

[@At0sch]

Das mit dem meditieren ist eine gute Sache, funktioniert auch in Deutschland.

[@itslike123]

Good amount to start with is zero. You start demo, prove you profitable for 6 months or a year then check how much percentage you grow the account then you will find out how much money you need, start trading with real money using the same strategy you used on the demo account without deviation. That's the right answer

[@valentin19998]

40:40 basically answers the question 42:45 also

[@satyajitsautya2107]

14:20 how to limit your risk, single share of stock.. Good suggestion 35:00 chart

[@beamerUSA]

51:35 15 minutes is the best.. But I keep a spare one of 3 mins. So 3 & 15 minutes is the best for Daytrading. I am a strict daytrader.

[@bigrush2674]

These interviews beats reading a book

[@JohnSmith-lp7px]

I think the perception traders have of different styles of trading other than there own is interesting. Adam made a comment about day traders sitting in front a computer all day but I hear day traders saying the same thing about swing traders. Perception is a funny thing

[@greenscorpio1967]

if they say psychology, rather than knowledge is the most important component to successful trading, how can you put 3-5 years is about how long before you start making consistent profits or break even

[@josouk5950]

undercapitalised ! absolutely one of the biggest problems when trading - you need adequate capital to allow positions to play out

[@pressedearth9492]

Ken Roberts? I bought the same course. Ended up getting a real job. Paper charts and dial up modems. Those were the days my friend.

[@rodgeraarons8997]

Yes. 3:22. Bought that course.

Minute chart pocket option account down in 3 days. Wrong investment lane nice interview

[@user-qd1zk7kj3d]

Great interview. Just wondering why 50,000 is such a perfect number to trade with and not just 1000 to learn and become consistent, and then 25,000 when you are a profitable trader by a good amount (to rid of the PDT)

[@Nelford76]

Thought the same. I started with 5k

[@Presticles1]

Probably because he didn't do a lot of scalping?

[@ryuxfx52]

Personally I don’t get why more people don’t just use demo till their consistent then take on prop firm funding and maybe use the profits to fund a personal account

[@greenscorpio1967]

is adam correct saying saying need at least $50,000 to start with or 3-5 years experience before becoming profitable or break even ?????????????????????????????

[@absoluttchamp]

I think he means living off of it. The amount of time needed is highly individual, and depends on the time and devotion you give to it. The learning curve can be shortened with a mentor.

[@interests1094]

The reason trading is so hard is that there are sooo many methods and there isnt a main method that everyone people believe that works.. If it did..then there wouldnt be hundreds of methods day trading and the same for longer time frames. This makes trading very confusing... Also..a lot of what is going on in trading the markets is unknown..and cant be known by a trader. Such as bad management, ecomony news, a sell off by large institutions..all this, would be unknown to a trader.

[@beamerUSA]

21:01 The equally honest interview after Anand Sanghvi .....both should join hands. It would be magnificent. 26:40
