Have you ever had a friend/relative/stranger get interested in trading after you tell them about it?  It's happened to most of us, and it usually ends in disaster.  But there's a right and a wrong way to handle this, because having people you know or meet show interest in your trading WILL happen to you, probably multiple times, if it hasn't already.  We all want others to succeed with us, or at least have somebody we know take this journey with us.  It can be really exciting.  But it's no fun when they flame out.  VP and Robb talk about the types of people who could be good at this, those who certainly would not, and how to handle them once they're on board.   #TradingPsychology   Maverick Links   Click Here To Learn More about Maverick Forex Trading:  URL: https://maverickfx.com/application-3-a/?utm_source=vpyt   Click Here To Learn More about Maverick Currencies: URL: https://maverickcurrencies.com/application-3-a/?utm_source=VPPodPsych   Click Here To Learn More about Maverick Trading’s Stock/Options Division: URL: https://mavericktrading.com/application-3-a/?utm_source=VPPodPsych   Maverick Trading YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@mavericktrading   Robb’s Flat Earth Trading Society https://www.youtube.com/@FlatEarthTradingSociety   No Nonsense Forex Links   VP’s Trading Psychology Book https://nononsenseforex.com/forex-psychology-book/   Recommended Crypto Trading Platform (Bonus and Contest Eligibility) - https://nononsenseforex.com/cryptocurrencies/best-crypto-trading-platform/   Blueberry Markets Blog (Top FX Broker) - https://nononsenseforex.com/uncategorized/blueberry-markets-review-my-top-broker-for-2019/   Markets.com Blog (Other top FX Broker)- https://nononsenseforex.com/uncategorized/markets-com-review/   US Residents Go Here (Top US FX Broker)- https://nononsenseforex.com/uncategorized/ig-us-review/   Follow VP on Twitter https://twitter.com/This_Is_VP4X   The hosts of this podcast are not licensed financial advisors, and nothing heard on this podcast should be taken as financial advice.  Do your own research and understand all financial decisions and the results therein are yours and yours alone.  The host is not responsible for the actions of their sponsors and/or affiliates.  Conversely, views expressed on this podcast are that of the host only and may not reflect the views of any companies mentioned.
