Episode notes
From Gibraltar Port To London Trading Floor
- Steve Ruffley started trading after meeting traders in Gibraltar and training on a London trading floor funded by a firm.
- He experienced huge early wins and learned emotional pain from rapid gains and losses that shaped his career.

- Momentum (staying in the game) often matters more than raw motivation for long-term success.
Build Rules And Protect Your Capital

- Trust a small set of rules and charts that fit your personality instead of overloading indicators.
