Most US families only have income streams from their jobs, the most heavily taxed revenue stream. Jerry Robinson is a trader and author who wants to change all that.On today’s episode of Limit Up, Jerry discusses two key fundamental concepts for every trader: know your trading niche and diversify. Traders who are educated in a specific area do well to trade in that area as opposed to casting a wide net.Jerry also passionately believes in ending the consumption trap and discusses how he and his family have managed to live mostly off the grid.

To be a successful trader, you don’t need to make 30 trades a day and drive a Lamborghini (although that’s always the dream). Sometimes the most effective strategy, especially right now with all the market volatility, is to get back to the trading basics. This week on Limit Up!, The Trader Chick, Marina Villatoro, joins us to talk about simplifying your trading process.Marina has a fascinating life story; she was born in the USSR, moved to America, began traveling the world and ended up married in Guatemala. Her trading story didn’t begin until she decided to switch career paths for her 40th birthday. Now she is a successful trading instructor and coach through her website, The Trader Chick.Listen in for Marina’s story and get her tips on getting back to the basics of trading.(01:49) - Market reaction(06:40) - Interview with Marina Villatoro(06:54) - Aerobics, travel, and trading(16:04) - Speaking the language of the market(20:48) - Trigger happiness(24:09) - How The Trader Chick evolved(27:48) - Back to the basics(31:36) - Moving average strategies(35:27) - Sustaining the lifestyle(38:09) - Financial instruments(41:21) - Competitive rock climbingMarina Villatoro, ‘The Trader Chick,’ is an international speaker on stages such as the MoneyShow, NinjaTrader and TradersExpo, plus a mentor and teacher to over 700 students, she has been trading and teaching the financial markets for years. Marina started her trading journey on her 40th birthday, when she jumped in with both feet and started trading ES minis (Futures Market) and hasn’t looked back. The journey wasn’t easy and after losing her entire account in a matter of minutes, she had a massive breakthrough.The entire industry was teaching the Day Trading process to be way too complex. She realized that no one was teaching the most important part of trading - the basics, reading and understanding the market language. It speaks to us loud and clear, and being able to truly understand it will take your trading to whole new levels. Today, she stands out in her industry amongst the gurus as one who embraces the spirituality of Day Trading and works hard to help others start transforming their lives one trade at a time.Limit Up! is a podcast for traders of all levels brought to you by TopstepTrader.

This approach has allowed him to ride the waves while still making a profit.Tim joined Jack and Dan for a discussion on the benefits of swing trading, why it’s crucial to keep a positive mindset, and why trading is a long game…not a get rich quick scheme.

How's the Culture in your Kingdom? (with Dan Cockerell) Each of us has our own kingdom or sphere of influence. And each of those kingdoms has a culture. I’m thrilled that our guest today is here to help us improve the culture in our kingdoms, and no surprise, it begins with me and you! Our guest is Dan Cockerell, the former Vice President of the Magic Kingdom at Disney World. When he retired a few years ago, he was leading 12,000 cast members entertained over twenty million guests annually.  That role was the culmination of a long and successful career at Disney, where Dan held various executive operations roles over the years, both in the theme parks and resort hotels. Now Dan is a speaker and coach who focuses on leadership and management practices that draw on his extensive career at Disney. He also hosts an excellent leadership-focused podcast called “Come Rain or Shine." I had the privilege of previewing Dan’s new book, which is absolutely fantastic. It’s called How’s the Culture in Your Kingdom?, and as you’ll hear in the interview, I really loved this book. It’s filled with tons of fun stories and examples of how to improve the culture in your personal and work life. This episode is all about developing the right kind of culture in our organization, even if we are an organization of one. Leadership begins with YOU. Even if you have a day job, and have a side hustle, we all have a culture within our sphere of work. In this conversation, Dan shares his wisdom on how to improve your health, how to impact others when you’re not the leader, helping our teams take personality responsibility, and how he used podcasting to build the culture within his team.

In our last episode, TopstepTrader’s own, Matt Murnighan, discussed how he got started as a prop trader in the 2000s. This week, Matt is back to discuss what the daily grind of prop trading is really like. Matt, Jack, and Dan discuss the differences between trading for a firm versus as an individual, how trading and poker are similar, and how to know the right time to take a step back from trading.One of the key takeaways from this conversation is to remember that trading is ephemeral. The industry is volatile with explosive highs and stressful lows. But trading and markets will always be there, so if a break is needed, it’s possible to return later or carve out a whole new niche – just look at Jack and Dan.

Finally we finish with discussion about different approaches you can take to your guitar learning and how what we have done fits into this as something accessible for most types of player. Lastly, some discussion about our podcast.

What a pleasure to meet Dan Winslow. You’ll search long and hard to find someone on Beacon Hill with a more impressive resume. At the local level, Dan has served as a Town Moderator and on the Planning Board in Norfolk for 15 years, he’s served as a judge at the Wrentham District Court and at the state level he served as Chief Legal Counsel to Governor Mitt Romney. Now Dan is in his first term as a state representative and he is shaking things up. He has much more enthusiasm and optimism than I do about the prospects of having a politically competitive state. CommonWealth Magazine recently asked the question, Who does he think he is? Dan Winslow, a veteran Massachusetts Republican turned freshman state rep, is shaking up the State House with a flurry of policy proposals and a scathing critique of the Beacon Hill status quo. Sounds like our kind of guy, and he was! A super impressive person, it was a pleasure to welcome Dan to the WRKO studio for the full hour. Can’t wait to do it again.
