Brilliant journey you are on, Richard, and it is a pleasure following. Your interviews are becoming one the better libraries of trading knowledge. Bravo!

Off topic for a moment, for the recent TraderLion conference you hosted, are slides of each presentation available?

Thanks again for your passion and work

Thank you for kind words Timothy! We are building a free resource that will be available on the TL site with notes and slides from each presenter.

Oh good. A lot of the presenters will have spent many hours preparing their material to have the greatest educational impact. Making slides available can compound the impact already present in the brilliant videos. The notes taken by CharlieM, shared freely on twitter, and then even collected together into a pdf, are a high octane add to this impact. Fintwit can be so powerful both in knowledge and generosity

Hi Richard - Wow...the Tom Canfield interview was amazing. Perhaps the most useful thing I've ever seen. Tom talked directly to me in so many ways, I was blown away. So much wisdom and so helpful.

I also want to thank you for being a brilliant interviewer. It was you being quiet that let Tom open up and that's when the good stuff came out.

Keep up the great work!

Hi Richard...for someone considering full time trading, it is always better to set aside 2 to 3 years of living and contingency expenses and then embark on the journey...

I think that's a great rule of thumb.

I have been trading full time for 30 years now, raising 4 kids and putting them through college, with no debt or mortgage! I always tell aspiring traders that you should have 10x your yearly living expenses as liquid trading capital. Which seems right to me, as you should be able to average a 10% return over the beginning years, to at least break even and live your usual life.

Richard,

First and foremost thanks for all your hard work and dedication that you bring to each and every video. I was very pleased with Tom Canfield’s interview and his demeanor, probably the first time I can recall of no profanity , maybe David Ryan’s interview had some positive influence on him , enough so that I could actually enjoy his interview . Keep up the good work
