Band of Traders - Together We Trade

Joining Kyle in the China Shop this week and making his first ever podcast appearance is the other half of Vanta Trading, Mr. Banks. Listen in as we discuss a range of trading topics, from adapting your trading to fit your life, figuring out who you are as a trader and even the added pressures of trading in a spotlight. Mr. Banks also talks about the importance of community, and having someone you can share struggles with that will help keep you accountable. The pronunciation debate however, still lives on!About Mr. Banks:Working as a commercial banker and trading on the side helped Mr. Banks develop his trading style into what it is today. As a banker, his main thought is: “what’s the worst that can happen and how can I mitigate that risk?”. Taking that same thought process into trading has made him focus more on his trade setups. Trade with confidence, trade what the market gives, and limit the unknown factors. Guest Links:Vanta Trading - Website - Visit our discord for our discount code!YouTube ChannelSocial Links:Follow on Mr. Banks on TwitterSponsorshipsSupport for 2 Bulls is brought to you by ​MANSCAPED™​, who is the best in men’s below-the-waist grooming. ​Their products are precision-engineered tools for your family jewels.

Over in the Crypto Corner, Coinbase's legal argument sounds like a 5-year-old wrote it and the SEC calls all spot BTC ETF applications "inadequate".

This week Vico from TRADEPRO Academy is back in the China Shop to discuss the free Futures Trading workshop that he recently hosted. Listen along as Kyle and Dan learn more about why Vico changed his system to rely on mostly volume profile and order flow, before finally understanding the true importance of utilizing the replay feature... If you missed the workshop, you can register here to watch the replay!Be sure to check out TRADEPRO Academy's new Inner Circle Options and Futures master classes, available now!About Vico:Victorio started trading with George Papazov in 2015/2016 as an early member of TRADEPRO Academy, after his dad happened to meet him in a Starbucks (he may have spilled coffee on him). Victorio was a lost college student at the time in Engineering, hating it but not knowing what to do. After befriending George, he was convinced to get into trading and switched his degree to Financial Services. Victorio traded throughout college, and ended up paying for some of his schooling through options swing trading using some of his government loan (blowing 50% of it at first)*Note from Victorio and 2 Bulls: Please don't risk your tuition on options!* While still in college, he then transitioned to futures day trading. There was a big learning curve in futures, but he eventually started making money about one year in (2018). While Victorio still trades futures here and there, he found that he was risking a little too much for comfort. Forever a student, he still works on his futures craft but recently flipped back to options. He day trade options now will pretty good success and swing trades common stock, with a focus on large caps and growth companies. If you'd like to hear more about Victorio's trading strategies and ideas, he frequently posts on Twitter and is active in TRADEPRO Academy's Discord ServerGuest Links:TRADEPRO Academy (Our Affiliate Link)TRADEPRO DiscordTRADEPRO YouTube ChannelSocials:Follow Vico on TwitterFollow TRADEPRO Academy on TwitterSponsorshipsSupport for 2 Bulls is brought to you by ​MANSCAPED™​, who is the best in men’s below-the-waist grooming. ​Their products are precision-engineered tools for your family jewels.
