Band of Traders - Together We Trade
China Shop Productions
Education is the foundation of successful trading and community/support is the glue that holds it all together. At Band of Traders, our mission is to provide you with educational resources to sharpen your trading skills. Our thriving Discord community is a great source of inspiration, motivation and camaraderie. We are bringing together traders of all levels for no-nonsense insights into the trading world. We don’t sugarcoat the truth because traders must have the ability to evaluate their trades, strategies and emotional states in order to achieve personal growth. That growth is an integral part of becoming a master trader. We believe that we are stronger together, learn more together, and have better trades together. Our weekly Round Table episodes are casual conversations about the week's trading lessons, educational content, strategies, and all things trading. Our rotation of co-hosts keeps the discussions fresh. Plus, once a month, we’ve got a special treat – a Round Table with expert guests to dive deep into a specific topic. These episodes drop on Mondays. On Thursdays we release our in-depth guest interviews and informative miniseries episodes, all with a focus on trading and trader education. We cover a wide range of topics including stocks and options, FOREX, and futures. Don’t just listen, get involved! Our community members not only share insights, trade ideas, charts and journals, they actively participate in podcast content. Beyond suggesting possible guests, we encourage our listeners to consider recording an episode with us and an expert guest they have questions for. Many of our guests also participate in our Discord discussions, giving traders of all levels opportunities to learn and connect. Are you ready to embrace the true essence of trading? Join us on the Band of Traders podcast, where we uncover the real world of trading, one episode at a time. Whether you’re just starting out or you’re an experienced trader, we have something for everyone. Explore our episodes, connect with fellow traders, learn from each other’s successes and failures, and grow as we trade together.

Bonus Episode: Victorio Stefanov
This week in the China Shop we are joined by Victorio Stefanov, day trader and success coach with TRADEPRO Academy. Listen in as Victorio tells us about his options trading strategy and the indicators he uses. We also discuss what's going on with AMC and GME, and Kyle explains why he likes JMIA. We finish up by getting some long awaited answers to questions we've had about our lovable neighbors to the north!About Victorio StefanovVictorio 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 free community chatroomGuest Links:Free Chat CommunityVictorio's TwitterTRADEPRO Academy WebsiteTRADEPRO Socials:YouTubeTwitterInstagramOther Links:Trading View WebsiteTrade-Alert WebsiteIf you like our show, please let us know by rating and subscribing on your platform of choice!If you like our show and hate social media, then please tell all your friends!If you have no friends and hate social media and you just want to give us money for advertising to help you find more friends, then you can donate to support the show here! 2 Bulls Discord:https://discord.gg/Q8hft2zMTMAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

We also chatted about the future of marijuana and the chances of it getting legalized. After getting a stock tip from our guest, we then discussed the benefits of CBD.
