Shownotes

Who do you listen to when it comes to trading? Doing your homework and staying informed is an important aspect of long term trading success. As is having a place to bounce around ideas and hear different perspectives. However it’s also critical that you vet those sources. This week on Limit Up! Jack and Dan discuss the double-edge sword of easy access to trading advice and how best to evaluate your go-to sources. They’ll cover some practical tips and give a few golden rules to keep in mind. Lastly, they give a heads up on their August hiatus from the show, but don’t worry Jack and Dan will be back before you know it in September with all new content. 

Limit Up! is a podcast brought to you by Topstep about trading, trading psychology, trading life, and pretty much whatever else the wonderful world of markets has to offer. It’s hosted by two former professional traders, Jack and Dan, who still dabble in futures, forex, options, political betting—they basically love to follow the action. They’ll teach you how to trade, but more importantly, how to develop the habits that make traders good. Risk Disclosure: https://www.topstep.com/risk-disclosure/
