Rapid Fire:

1. How has your trading evolved?
   • I’ve become a more hybrid trader. I rely on technology to make up for my weaknesses. Also, my time-frame has become longer.
2. The moment trading just clicked for you?
   • I’m still waiting. I don’t ever want to think “I got this”, because the markets are always changing.
3. 1 source you spend your time on?
   • I want to know bare minimum in terms of news, data, etc. Meditation is a big part of my life, sleep, exercise, etc. Studying my trading journal.
4. Favorite Book About Trading:
   • Charley Di The Story of the Legendary Bond Trader.
5. Favorite Movie About Trading:
   • Bulls and Bears.
6. Best Advice Ever Received About Trading:
   • Let go. The market’s going to do what it’s going to do. It’s not worth to figure out why.
7. Advice to Give to Others About Trading:
   • Find an old trader and buy him a beer. Be patient, it’s going to take you many many years to get to where you want to be.
8. If you weren’t a trader you’d be what?
   • GM for a sports team.
