#18 Greg Gossett - 24 Years as a Retail Trader

In this episode of the AlphaMind podcast we interview veteran retail trader Greg Gossett. Greg is well into his third decade of retail trading, proving that it can be done, and can be done well. In this excellent interview Greg shares with Steven and Mark his thoughts on the 3 key things he wished he had known when he started trading that he knows now. These 3 aspects are cornerstones to his trading method and his reflections on them are powerful insights in trading which carry important lessons for traders of all levels.Greg also provides a daily mentor and trading podcast which is available to all free on Youtube. Greg talks about his work mentoring traders on his Gossett Trading & Mentoring and how it helps him in his own trading.
