TTU89: Creating a Simple System & Sticking To It ft. Robert Carver, Author & Trader – 1of2

Robert Carver spends most of his book telling you that he is not a good trader. So why did he devote his life and a whole book to the subject?

Because he believes in systematic trading; making a simple trading system and sticking to it.

In this episode, we dive into his new book and explore why simplicity is the key, people think they are better traders than they are, and so much more.
