Learning to trade profitably on your own can take a long time for some people, but if you have a mentor or coach helping you, the time can be reduced significantly.
I have wanted to get a Trading Coach on the Podcast for awhile now and I am happy to present my first interview with a Trader/Trading Coach.
Brian McAboy – Trader and Trading Coach
Brian McAboy used to be a Mechanical Engineer in the Manufacturing Industry, but he caught the trading bug and never looked back.
Just like every other Trader, he took his lumps early on in his career and wanted to understand how to be the best trader he could be.
As he started trading profitably, he wanted to help others do the same and when the opportunity presented itself, he began coaching.
Being an Engineer, he understood the benefit of creating documented processes and set about applying that to his trading and his coaching business.
One of the most important points that Brian brings up is that trading must be treated as a business.
Many people think that trading is somehow different from opening a restaurant or selling t-shirts on the internet.
While the products are very different, the basic principles of business still apply. You still have to have a plan, be properly funded, have an advantage in the market, etc.
Brian loves working with Traders because he feels that they are generally very intelligent, caring and genuine people.
He was generous enough to spend over an hour talking with me about all aspects of trading and I know that you will get a lot of great information out of this interview because I sure did.
