The makeup of successful traders & observations from a veteran broker w/ Matt Zimberg of OptimusFutures

Last week, our very own Matt Zimberg had the pleasure of being interviewed by Aaron Fifield from Chat with Traders – https://chatwithtraders.com/ep-056-matt-zimberg/. Hit the Play button above to listen to the podcast.

Topics Included:

  • Why good traders typically have the ability to find order in chaos, and have done something successful in other areas of life – building a method around success.
  • Common misconceptions about experienced traders; I explain how many traders still experience psychological challenges, and actually trade unsophisticated methods.
  • How to go about developing your own methodology, and the three building blocks that should be understood. Plus, the downside of imitating others.
  • Exploring the topic of returns – how to manage expectations, and how independent traders differ from large Wall Street hedge funds.
  • Discuss the overlap between trading and gambling, the actions that will put you at risk of ruin, and why professional trading should be boring.
  • Tips and pointers for finding the right broker, and what you should take into consideration when thinking about commissions and other transaction costs.

Please share your comments and /or questions below and Matt will personally address your concerns.
