So you’ve learned the basics. You speak the lingo and you understand the difference between your “rights” and “obligations” when you are “long” or “short” a put option. Your account is funded and you are watching all the indicators do their thing as you navigate around your new platform.


Now what? Is it time to attend some educational trading webinars and take some small pieces of each to “build your own” style?


In this episode, I speak with Steve Williams, a long-term client and retail trader that made all the wrong moves until he began making the right ones.


Trial and error is an important part of learning any new skill, but maybe I can help you avoid some errors and save you some money. While we’re talking about saving money, don’t forget to check out this week’s freebies and sign up for a FREE 7 Day Trial of ADT’s Premier Membership.
