Most memorable trade: Trying to wait out Tesla’s share price, expecting it to move favourably. It was a risky move, with an outcome to match! Lesson learned: use a stop loss to automatically avoid losing positions running rampant.
Favourite financial book/podcast: From Theory to Practice, Daily Dose shows on the tastylive network, and the IG Trading the Markets podcast.
