The idea for Tim to start interviewing traders came when he realized the best way to learn how to start making money trading was to [...]
Today I was interviewed by John Kurisko from www.daytradingradio.com. We had a great conversation about trading e-minis, which spawned a bunch of questions from traders who are new to e-minis.
