A TRADER'S LIFE
How do traders do it, overcoming setbacks, managing their risk and reining in their emotions to take chunks of money out of the markets? Showhost Nicholas Penrake chats with traders from all kinds of backgrounds, inviting them to share with us their highs and lows on their way to achieving consistent results.
Trading is a tough game – they say only around 5 per cent of those who try actually make a profit. Listen to A Trader’s Life to glean some valuable insights from the market wizards Nic get to talk to.
If you glance at my profile on LinkedIn, you’ll see I’m no big shot trader. Mid way through 2023, after nearly three years' trading, I'm still only break-even. But every week I learn something new. And part of that learning process is enriched by talking and listening to other traders, those with more experience than I have.
We all know that emotions can seriously derail your trading aspirations. It's been my experience - and I hope you agree - that every so often listening to other traders' stories can not only be instructive but inspirational, even comforting, to a degree.
Just one example: one of my guests lost 50,000 in just a just a few months. Today’s she’s crushing it in commodities. How did she do it? You come here to find out.
And here’s the thing… the picture I’m getting is that it’s not so much about the money, it’s about the challenge.
It’s also about freedom: finding a pursuit that can make you an income that only relies on your smarts and an internet connection.
If you can get there, trading can potentially free up your day, allowing you to explore a world that extends far beyond the daily commute to an office.
So, if you’re a trader interested in comparing your story with the stories of traders who’ve cracked it, or even if you’re just curious about trading, grab your headphones, open your browser and have a listen – A Trader’s Life.
A TRADER'S LIFE
Episode 51 | Louise Bedford -Trader & Mentor
I realise it’s quite possible you’ve had a lousy week. Trading is a tough game, right? Well, here’s a thought: have you tried it without the use of your arms with a pen in your mouth? And no, I’m not being facetious.
My next guest is without question the most extraordinary person I’ve had on the show so far. Hers is so much more than just another trading success story, this is one of those human success stories favoured by documentary filmmakers. In her early twenties she lost her job due to a debilitating neurological disorder that deprived her of the use of her arms. This kind of a setback would be enough to floor most of us. But not Louise Bedford.
Having learned to trade as a teenager, she threw herself into trading full time – trading with a pen in her mouth. Today she’s a successful trader, a highly regarded mentor and keynote speaker. If ever you needed some inspiration as a trader after a bad week, or indeed a good week, listen to this.

BEFORE YOU HEAD OFF… as we all know, a lot can go wrong in trading. Some days you can find yourself gasping for breath and telling yourself you need a complete break from it.
Well, take a look at this. It’s a way of making passive income by taking a stake in the crypto space but doesn’t require you to trade crypto. The company in question is called Yieldnodes. And essentially, what these guys do is provide cutting edge services to the blockchain network, such as maintaining e-wallets and the like.
It’s very easy to get set up on the platform, and the returns are truly exceptional, averaging around 10% per month. Once you factor in compounding you could be looking at just north of 200% per annum. Here’s another thing I think is really important: Yieldnodes have allowed members to audit their incomings and outgoings and found them to be entirely transparent.
I personally think this is an exciting proposition and, if you sign up through my link, instead of the usual minimum deposit of 500 Euros, you can make a start with just 50 Euros. Heck, some people put that on the lottery every weekend! So why not plant a seed today with Yieldnodes and see what grows from there?
