No one ever thought it was possible for oil to go negative…but here we are. This week we’re talking about the craziness of what’s happening to oil before moving to an interview with Aaron Gose of Wingtrades.
Aaron has a really interesting background. He was in the Navy and he studied engineering. He’s a perfect example of how traders can come from any background – finance and economics aren’t the only options.
Aaron, Jack, and Dan discuss how quarantine has affected trading and the importance of thinking macro, but trading micro.
