Desire To Trade Podcast | Forex Trading & Interviews with Highly Successful Traders 140: How To Get Capital To Trade (the easy way) - Jack Schwager
In episode 140 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I interview Jack Schwager, fund manager and well-known author of Market Wizards. He has been most recently working on a platform (FundSeeder) that links traders and investors so they can get capital and that an investor can get a talented trader to manage their money.
In this podcast, Jack shares a lot of good insights in this interview and shows you exactly what you need to do if you're aspiring to trade. He's going to show you pretty much 75% or more of everything involved and that you almost automatically end up trading for people if you do things right. We explore the topic of how to get capital for trading and the quite simple steps that you need to take to start trading.
