About this episode
Ricardo is a creative at heart — a CEO, lifelong musician, and former drummer living in Porto, Portugal. In this episode, he shares his honest trading journey, from early experiments with stocks, bonds, and trading robots… to the hard lessons that followed when automation and martingale strategies blew up his account.  After discovering our podcast and Coach’s Corner, Ricardo began shifting away from chaos and toward structure, discipline, and real price action understanding. He talks openly about the mental side of trading — fear of missing out, high expectations, emotional control, and why “context” in price analysis has been his biggest challenge.  This is a raw conversation about why most traders struggle, why mindset matters more than indicators or bots, and why having a mentor can dramatically change your path. If you’ve ever wrestled with discipline, losses, or unrealistic expectations, you’ll see yourself in Ricardo’s story.  Listen to Episode 91 here: https://www.spreaker.com/episode/episode-91-with-ricardo--69309484  Contact Darko directly for a deep discount to join our service.  Join CC Starter (FREE) here: https://forexmentor.com/coaching/corner/starter/Thanks so much,  Vic Noble, on behalf of Darko Ali and Forexmentorvicnoble@forexmentor.comdarko@forexmentor.com ForexTrading #TradingMindset #TraderJourney #PriceAction #TradingPsychology #ForexPodcast #SwingTrading #DayTrading #TradingDiscipline #ForexEducation Podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/user/fxcoachscornerFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/fxcoachscorner/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/forexmentor1Twitter: https://twitter.com/fxcoachscornerLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/darko-ali-52ba7583/TikTok: Search: fxcoachscorner
